JamesK Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Here are the snap counts for the DTs. Fletcher Cox - 39 snaps, 57% Javon Hargrave - 38 snaps. 55% Milton Williams - 33 snaps, 48% Marlon Tuipulotu - 29 snaps, 42% Jordan Davis - 22 snaps, 32% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipples Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Honestly Cox shouldn’t be getting that many snaps at this point. They need to take a bunch of those and give them to Davis. It was very clear to me that the run defense was far better when Davis was in the game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I don't know why he had such a low snap count. Lower than Tuipulotu? What's that all about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolg Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I am not surprised. Rookie, playing in his first NFL game, and they like to swap personnel throughout the game across the line. I am sure Davis will find himself in more packages as the season progresses. He was good. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree. I think they are just easing him. I'm sure he will get more snaps as the season goes on.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seengreen Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Why didn't they run more 5 man fronts? Davis is a NT. When they were running the 5 man fronts, they were playing the run better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White was certainly a bright spot........and I know it's the first game, but I think Dean is going to be a contributor this year and I was surprised that he hardly saw the field.

Edwards played well last season, but is not extended beyond this season I believe. If he struggles or gets hurt, then I think we'll see Dean take over as the starting MIKE.

eagle45 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 32% in a rotation is nothing to sneeze at, to be honest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, except that a back up 6th round pick from last year's draft got more snaps than he did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTW Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Relax, it was his first NFL game and he has 2 veteran starters ahead of him. How many more snaps would have been not "surprisingly low?" Bump him up to 30 and decrease Cox to 31 would make it about even. So splitting that difference would be giving him 8 more snaps. Is this really a complaint? He should have got 8 more snaps? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonblood Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Not surprisingly low- he is a ROOKIE. It's standard procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those rookie DL will probably be toast come mid season if they aren't managed correctly. Save the man for games where we really need him. I'm all for that. Bet he gets more time against Minny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to re-distribute work load, and if Davis can't play 50% of the snaps, then that's a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
