Mallory took 24 snaps at QB?

Proof reading is your friend.

 

@Trinton Breeze move Mallory to RB and change first name spelling

 

Interesting 261 DB snaps vs 106 LB snaps

 

Anyone else find it a little odd that Joel Ervin isn’t getting any snaps? Same question for JJ Edwards and Jordan Campbell

 

Is Tyson Bacon any good?

 

Only when cooked extra crispy.

 

Interesting 261 DB snaps vs 106 LB snaps

only 2 LB on the field compared to 5 DBs

 

don't bury the lead ... king cong out snapped sj ... we going in the right direction

 

No Kellen Wiley? Is he hurt?

 

They fully opened the competition up for guard. Ended the cantwell at guard experiment, i think they were trying anyway to get him on the field since he got beat out by mccoy and samson at tackle. He’s the backup lt now

Sj/Ben for lg, max/merriweather for rg

I have to rewatch but merriweather and ben looked the best live, max i was super high on pre season but he was disappointing like sj too in other games. Sj is the backup center now, i wonder how many of his snaps were actually at guard

 

Anyone else find it a little odd that Joel Ervin isn’t getting any snaps? Same question for JJ Edwards and Jordan Campbell

Campbell plays STs. Not sure on Ervin although my guess is that they wanted to give Cantwell a lot of snaps and/or maybe Ervin is still getting into game shape I’m guessing?
