Snap Counts

If you get to rewatch the game, just look for a guy who seems lost and apparently doesn't know what he's doing.

That'll be Hurney.

Corn Elder, by the way, was on the field quite a bit.  Not great, not bad.

I didn't even realize YGM was healthy and playing that game... Not a good look so far. Might need a few years to develop before we can count on him even as a consistent rotational guy.

Didn't he grab a facemask or something?  DE takes a bit--Johnson, Hardy--took them 2 years before they broke out.

It wasn't a rotation.

Little played the first quarter, then got sat down and didn't play again through the end of the half.

They gave him another shot the first few series of the third quarter, but the offense didn't start moving until they put Scott back in. He stayed in through the end of the game.

Alternating quarters is a rotation.  Rhule said in today's presser. "We kinda wanted to rotate those guys and keep them fresh. They haven't played a full game."

Yesterday he said "Our thought was let's get them both in there. What a great opportunity for those guys to get some experience. We didn't want either one of them to kind be run down so we played them both."

No arguing against the coaches words, twice

Maybe, I didn't have sound and was stuck with a smaller tv at the bar I was watching at so could've easily missed that being him.

Rotating left tackles is another very college coach thing to do.

What it doesn't change though is that Little was awful. Scott wasn't especially good either, but Scott wasn't a second round pick we traded up for (after planning to take him in the first).

Little just is not in starting level condition, thats what I came away with. He was on PUP list at the start of camp, needs to improve that cardio.

It's done in the  pros more than you would expect and when the true starter isn't injured. It's not a particularly college thing do either but I know that's the current hot take criticism

Rhule tried to say they were approaching it as a rotation to keep both guys fresh, but it's hard to believe that given the breakdown and circumstances. Little is bad, but people are out here whining about contracts for CMC & Shaq as if getting paid was their fault.

Little was injured all of last year, new scheme with no preseason. He very well may suck when it’s all said and done but it’s just as plausible he could turn out to be good as well. Some of this board hates Hurney so much it blinds their ability to have this type of objectivity.

Uh...yeah. it's hardly ever done in the pros. You might rotate some spots along the line but not left tackle.

Teams that have an established starter at left tackle don't sub them out except if they're hurt or need a rest.

Notice that Brown, Kerr, and Roy played 91 (combined) snaps of the 156 snaps (for 2 DTs).  No Woodrow Hamilton this week.  I saw Weatherly and Obada inside a lot.  That means on any given play, there was a DT in the DT slot (traditional 4-3 set) only 58% of the time.

Interesting, at least to me.

Furthermore, I just noticed that Reed was at LG, Schofield did not play. Better than last week--but so much depends on matchups.
