Defensive Stats today - do they tell the right story?

[Slapstick]

Jones was the best OLB on the field sunday.

He seems to be picking up where he left off before being hurt last year.

Out of 151 total defensive snaps:

Harrison 88
Dupree 77
J. Jones 64
Moats 59

hmmm

i dont really think you can read anything into it no matter which way you slice it....dupree playing so many snaps could be attributed to the game was out of hand and they were ready to get him some reps at pinning his ears back and rushing the passer

Harrison leading the snap count is the most interesting metric though lol

True, but then again, it is a two game sample size...I'm now interested and I plan to keep an eye on it...

Also interesting is that Harrison and Jones have exactly the same stat line: 3 solo and 3 assisted tackles with no sacks...

So much for Coach Peezy limiting Deebo to 25-30 total snaps per game.

Would you want to be the one to tell him to come out of the game?

Exactly. People calling him dirty are off base. He's not a dirty player and he's not the first to get upset with the rules. I bet every other player in the nfl would prefer someone came in high. Yes concussions are debilitating, but so are knee injuries and one of them ends careers right here right now. It's a double edged sword for sure but I don't believe for a second he's a dirty player.

He's a dirty player and a cheap shot artist. You always see him with hits that are close to late or near where a play is over, likely because he rarely makes hits that actually matter.

Him celebrating after a big hit despite giving up a third down conversion drove me up the wall on Sunday.

I can't stand Mitchell. He's like an overpaid version of Anthony Smith - and Smith at least made a few plays that mattered.

Against the Rams:

Arthur Moats - 29 snaps
Jarvis Jones - 27 snaps
James Harrison - 25 snaps
Bud Dupree - 23 snaps

Not OLBs, but Spence played 41 snaps and Vince Williams 10 snaps in place of Shazier...

that celebration was frustrating but I also believe the WR came out the game due to that hit. It was a clean hit too.

Not sure who it was but I like it when a clean hit puts a player out of the game and forces the other team to put in a lesser talent.

As far as hits that are close to late... well that's what most safety's do. They are the last line of defense and usually clean up plays. Troy was far from a dirty player but he got a few flags for late hits.
