I don’t understand why we don’t like Banjo he plays well when he’s in.. I can’t think of a mistake he’s made. I don’t care how and when its done but when he gets a chance at a turnover he capitalizes on it.



I think we like him. And yeah you're right, he does play well when he's in. I just think he's so valuable to us on ST as well, and with as many 3 safety looks as we run, we'd rather a guy that can play there full time and let Banjo contribute fully on ST with the occasional spell and in blowouts.

That was mainly because we had Vaccaro playing slot. Last year we barely used 3, and PJ/a LB played a lot more.

Looking at the snap counts, all the safeties combined played 208% of the snaps.

That means we would have had a 3rd safety on the field for 8% of the snaps max.

Compare that to CB where the total snaps were 272%, meaning a third corner played 72% of the snaps.

And just to complete the comparison the LBs played 220% of the snaps, meaning a third LB played 20% of the snaps (more than twice the amount of a third safety).

The Dline, as expected, usually played with 4 on the field (combining for 400%).
