Moten was insanely impactful for so few snaps
hoping he's getting fully healthy - it will be huge

 

I really thought Pruitt would play more this season.

Blount played a lot more than I thought he did.

Still want to see more Jacobs snaps for more deep balls.

Ryan Mack really getting some chances.

 

I want to see Cantwell get snaps. He’s a major investment and he needs some burn.

 

DB:
Bryce Fitzgerald -- 74
Omar Thornton -- 74
Zechariah Poyser-- 72
Ethan O'Connor -- 66
Dylan Day -- 54
Ryan Mack -- 26
JJ Dunnigan -- 25
Damari Brown -- 6

Insane to see snap counts so low for CB with O'Connor, Mack, Brown as the only true CBs.

We have to get some healthy CBs and get the freshmen more prepared.

 

Dunnigan was nicked up before the game. Day started. Wonder if that happened last game or in practice.

 

I want to see Cantwell get snaps. He’s a major investment and he needs some burn.

Cantwell didn’t play at all but SJ did? Clearly Congdon is more advanced and looked good.

 

I thought Keona Davis jumped off the screen a few times. I had to ask who he was. He needs to earn some more reps as Moten has a banged up shoulder.

 

Day's snaps ate into Dunnigan's (because of injury?), but what sticks out like a sore thumb is Thornton's 74 snaps. Staff has righted wrongs with King Cong, so I hope/fully expect to see this change by FSU.

 

Wow Mueller played a lot more than i realized. He really blended in out there (compliment). I didn’t think Briggs looked out of place, maybe it’s the jersey number or pre-snap motion, however I definitely noticed when he was in the game.

Lafayette got a lot of run, awesome.

Man, we really need to ease up on our DBs’ snap counts.

 

Honestly once we get healthier at CB I’d like to see Les Thornton…. He’s god awful in open space

How exactly do you reduce counts with so many guys not available?

Absolutely. He’s a dawg.

 

SJ with 33 snaps is criminal

 

I would like to think with Lucas coming back 0 will have reduced snaps. Day and dunnigan can help spell the safeties and flex fitz to safety/nickel throughout the game pending down/distance

 

Pringle should have gotten the 3 Lyle snaps.
Where were the other CBs? Ewald, Waters, Jennings, Redding got 0 snaps.
Congdon should not leave the field for SJ.
We have to get another OT ready to play: Hawks or Cantwell have to step up because Meriweather isn't the answer.
Meriweather maybe a better option at OG than SJ.
Disappointed in Dre. He is playing hesitant. We need more out of Barkate, Upshaw, and Dre. If not, Wingo has to get some looks.

Davis is a little undersized but he has some moves. Good 3T. Moten to Carter was a clear drop off.
With Blount and Lightfoot banged up: Wilson, Scroggins, Pickett, and Lafayette kept that QB running. Had we had 1 more healthy CB, this game gets very ugly.

 

SJ with 33 snaps is criminal

Maxx went down which is why the count went higher. I suspect he is under 10 otherwise.

 

With the injuries stacking up id divide up the RB snaps a bit more. Obviously let fletch do his late game pounding but gotta lessen his wear and tear a bit.

 

I thought Keona Davis jumped off the screen a few times. I had to ask who he was. He needs to earn some more reps as Moten has a banged up shoulder.

This. Thought he made an impact where I was "who we got here"?? Same with Lafayette.

 

How exactly do you reduce counts with so many guys not available?

Moving forward, they keep playing Mack & Day as Lucas and Antoine return; rotate Fitz more to lower Poyser’s and Omar’s snaps. JJ’s snaps would normally be higher. Not being afraid to put in Chris Ewald Jr for a dozen or so snaps in October games. Then By all accounts, Lucas will be ready for the FSU game.

Damari doesn’t need more snaps tbh. His effort and mental mistakes have been showing every time he is on the field. Don’t know what’s up but it’s doing us more than harm good, even when it’s only half-a-dozen plays.
