That website sucks so bad. All the fields reset everytime you search a player snap count by position and sometimes it defaults back to week one even if you set everything correctly. POS

Hard to extrapolate too much info from the Lions game as we pulled so many starters on the offense.

1. Not only Carson, but Veldeer and Iupati also came out, ostensibly to give Watford and Sowell some reps.

2. Fitz and Floyd took most of the WR reps this week. John Brown only got 57% of snaps, significantly below what he usually gets. Brittan Golden and Jaron Brown stepped up for additional plays.

3. Very little use of the TE this game. Fells continues to be the go-to guy in this group as he was in on almost every snap. Gresham was in on about half of Offensive plays. Niklas... well, not so much.

4. 95 plays on Defense is only nine fewer than we ran the previous two weeks combined. Crazy.

5. The high number of plays combined with the blow out allowed Kareem Martin and Alan Fua to see extended snaps. Not sure how effective they were, given they couldn't get Detroit off the field in garbage time. I'm guessing those two will rotate with Freeney to fill in during Okafor's absence.

6. We flooded the field with DB's again. PP, Powers, Badger, and 9 1/2 fingers continue to take almost every snap. This was Bethel's largest contribution to date, though still only 20% in a blow-out win. To me, that is probably the biggest surprise. Thought we'd have used the blowout to get him more playing time; however, tony JEfferson seems to get his number called a lot in our blowout wins... San Fran game being the lone exception.

That's about it from my review.

Good to see Cooper finally living up to his draft pick.

Well, we only have 3 backup O-lineman so 2 had to stay in.

Sowell is a Tackle.
AQ Shipley is a Center.
Watford is a Guard... most recently playing RT, but still a guard.

Add in that Iupati is still coming back from injury so it makes sense to give him extra rest & Massie is still working off the rust from his suspension.

It's pretty easy to see why Massie & Cooper stayed in.
