Snap Counts Week 3

[Proximo]

A couple of thoughts:

1: Our 3rd S Chachere playing 60% of snaps is something. Our 3rd CB got 1 snap. Depth is an issue here.

2: Swaim getting more TE snaps than McBride is interesting. I have to wonder if his blocking is not as good as I thought it was.

3: Did not expect Dimukeje to have the most snaps for an EDGE player.

At corner it sure is since our top 2 corners aren't even good enough to be starters on any other team. They are trying but Marco especially is not up for the job.

I don't know whether to be pleased they are getting a contribution out of Luketa or concerned it's more than Ojulari.

I'm going to assume Ojulari still behind after missing most of preseason.

I can see Luketa being the next Gardeck. Similar players, similar attitudes.

If Luketa can rush the passer, they need to make that change, because he's a YUGE liability in open field match ups.

Treat Michael Wilson like Anquan. Fr. He's that guy.

I think it's a lot to write him off from one play. Lamb has juked far better players than Luketa out of their boots.

Whoa.

Boldin had over 200 yards and 2 Td's in his first game with Jeff Blake at QB.

I know. I was there. Boldin is one of my favorite Cards.

Michael Wilson runs routes with the same precision, has the size and hands to match, and is "football fast" like Q.

I am not saying this lightly.

The Ertz, Moore, Swaim, Pascal, and McBride distribution is interesting. Seems like 11, 12, and 13 (maybe) personnel packages are preferred.

Prior to the draft coach talked about using 12 and 13 a lot. Looks like it wasn't coach speak.
Based on that.... I would say our goal is to have one pass catcher, one blocker, and one combo TE all capable of starting in the nfl... with ertz on the downside...we might need 2... McBride seems to ba an acceptable combo TE

They have been using Thompson in the slot quite a bit it seems.

2: Swaim getting more TE snaps than McBride is interesting. I have to wonder if his blocking is not as good as I thought it was.

I'd guess it's because Swaim is a notable blocker.

3: Did not expect Dimukeje to have the most snaps for an EDGE player.

Dimukeje is having a solid year so far.

Lofty expectations.

Interesting that Colon and Wilkerson both got snaps at LG, and I recall Colon being highlighted in a positive way early in the broadcast. Anyone know/remember if Colon started/got injured/Wilkerson came in, vice versa, or if they rotated throughout the game?

Not that PFF grades are the end all be all, but Colon has an 85.9 in limited snaps compared to Wilkerson's awful 33.7 grade this year.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Don't draft Tight Ends high. Just don't. Live with mediocrity at the TE position and sign free agents.

These guys don't develop until their second deals. It's so dumb.

I think the smart play is to draft a size/speed guy around rounds 3-5 and do so almost every year until you find the next Jim Dray.

Colon played 2 full drives. Wilkinson the rest.

Marquise Hayes was crying on the sideline (probably).

I definitely think Colon was being used so the coaches could see what they have in him...and to either light a fire under Wilkinson or replace him.

100%. TEs, like off-ball linebackers, can also be core special teams players as they develop. You just have to be patient.

Especially because these guys don't develop until their second contract, you can get them underpriced into their prime.

I see what you did there...

Gardeck Is so much quicker then luketa, maybe u mean they are both full effort players

They are definitely both full effort players. Luketa getting snaps on offense makes me think the staff really likes him.

Smart. Effort. Team 1st guys. Hard workers.

Kind of bizarre to start Colon (or use as early replacement), see him playing well, and then put in Wilkinson. I don't recall seeing something like that on the OL before.

Since he was claimed off waivers, doesn't he need to be on the active roster 4 weeks? Something like that?

We have 6 guys that were claimed off waivers at the same time - all currenty occupying a roster spot:
Trystan Colon-Castillo
Keith Ismael
K’Von Wallace
Starling Thomas
Ilm Manning
Elijah Higgins.

I think Colon and Wallace are the only ones that have seen minutes. It will be interesting to see what happens when they are eligible to be released. I'm thinking that's after 49er game?

I think that's practice squads you're thinking of.

BJ is 21 and undersized at a position where we’re somewhat deep with quality players. I expect big things from him down the road based on a few explosive clips.

I'm surprised we haven't seen some movement on these myself yet.

Often you claim guys and they come in and just don't have what you thought and you move on. Maybe we got lucky and everyone here has.

But I'm surprised guys like Colon haven't been kicked to the PS and Hayes brought up. You would expect Hayes to be higher in the pecking order after a full camp.
