IDP By The Numbers: NFC Week 5

Uncategorized / By /

Arizona Cardinals
1 – Game left on Patrick Peterson’s six-game PED suspension.
2 – Snap difference between safeties Jalen Thompson and Deionte Thompson. Supplemental rookie Jalen played 47 snaps, 70%. Fifth-round rookie Deionte (unrelated), played 45 snaps, 64%. Jalen got the start after Arizona released DJ Swearinger but they’re both going to play, capping each other’s value.

Baltimore Ravens
1 – Sack by Matthew Judon. That makes one sack in each game for Judon. Judon’s snap shares have been fantastic for a 3-4 OLB (80%, 80%, 85%).28 – Snaps played by Anthony Averett. Averett has not fully locked down the third CB job in Baltimore in the absence of both Tavon Young and Jimmy Smith. Averett only played 41%, behind Maurice Canady (46%) who was promoted from the practice squad before Week 2.

IDP By the Numbers: NFC Week Three

Atlanta Falcons169 – Snaps played by Keanu Neal in 2019. A season after suffering a torn ACL, Neal’s season ends in week three with a torn achilles. It’s just devastating. Before the two injuries, Neal was seen by some as the dynasty S1. Last season, Ricardo Allen replaced Neal at SS with Damontae Kazee replacing Allen at FS. Then Allen went down and it became a huge mess. Kazee is currently the nickel CB and it would likely be difficult for him to play both nickel CB and FS. Kemal Ishmael logged 39 snaps, 55%, after not playing a single defensive snap in week two. He’s the likely replacement for Neal. But the Falcons like Kazee as a playmaker, so it wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibilities to see Kazee play safety in base packages and move into the slot for sub-packages with Ishmael limited to sub-packages. This situation will need to be watched going forward.

Rather than doing a full, 5,000-word snap count thread every week, we’re going to simplify things a little bit. You don’t need me to tell you Bobby Wagner is playing 100% of snaps every week. So we’re just going to hit on the important numbers and any trends we’re starting to see.
Baltimore Ravens
1 – Total tackles between Baltimore’s Chris Board and Kenny Young combined. Board was on the field for 15 snaps while Young played 17 snaps.

So we’re just going to hit on the important numbers and any trends we’re starting to see.Arizona Cardinals1,336 – Snap pace for Jordan Hicks and DJ Swearinger. Expecting 16 games from Hicks is a mistake and the pace will slow down without more OT games. Antoine Bethea led the Cardinals with 1,111 snaps last season. Typically there are a few players who top 1,100 snaps every season. Hicks and Swearinger being on pace for 1,300 snaps, would mean they would play almost four more games’ worth of snaps than the typical highest seasonal snap total.

IDP Unsettled Depth Charts – AFC South

Uncategorized / By /

2019 OutlookThere’s a changing of the guard in Tennessee. Orakpo and Morgan have been the starting OLB duo since Orakpo joined the team in 2015. Morgan has been a starter since 2011. Orakpo has retired and Morgan is still a free agent. This season, it’ll be Landry and Wake to start. Landry could easily see 800 snaps and a solid jump in production. The question is how many snaps will Wake play. In Miami last season, Wake played 518 snaps over 14 games. If Wake maintains the relatively limited snaps, it opens an opportunity for one of the remaining guys on the depth chart. Correa is a former 2nd Round pick that didn’t work out in Baltimore. Traded to Tennessee for a 6th Rounder prior to last season, he built up a little hype in the preseason.

With Training Camp around the corner, it’s a good time to look at some undecided depth charts to see if there are a few IDP available who could produce this season and beyond.

Los Angeles ILB 2018 Stats
Additions: Clay Matthews – Signed 2-years, $5.5 million
Subtractions: Mark Barron – Released, signed with Pittsburgh; Ramik Wilson – Signed with Jacksonville
2019 Outlook: Last year, at this time, we were wondering who would start next to Barron at ILB for the Rams. Cory Littleton ended up breaking out in a huge way with 125 total tackles. This year, he is the unquestioned starter at ILB while we’re questioning who’s going to be standing next to him come Week 1.Barron missed the first four games of last season. In those games, Wilson primarily covered ILB but never topped 70% of snaps. Even when Barron got back on the field, he never topped 87% of snaps, as the Rams decided to remove him on passing downs for someone with a little more cover prowess. That’s where Christian entered the picture. A safety by trade, Christian would come in and play cover LB to the tune of almost 350 snaps over the course of the season. So who plays the majority of snaps next to Littleton this season? It’ll likely be a combination……………………………………………………………………….
