Voth's Snap Count Analysis


SgtJoo

Recommended Posts

  • Ryan Kalil missed two plays because of an issue with his shoulder pads.
  • Fernando Velasco started at right guard, but rookie Trai Turner still had a chance to get his feet wet.
  • Lots of shuffling on the line, which helped it hold up well in the humid conditions.
  • Ed Dickson got 24 snaps at tight end, but he was never targeted. Curious how often he was used as a blocker vs. as a receiver.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • For as humid as it was, and considering Mario Addison and Wes Horton are solid backups, Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson played a lot. Good to see Johnson get through the whole game without retweaking his hamstring.
  • The rotation was much more apparent at defensive tackle, and again, while Colin Cole starts, Kawann Short gets more time.
  • Will probably continue to bring this up, but here’s another reminder of how much more important nickel is than the third linebacker in the Panthers defense. Bené Benwikere played 40 snaps, compared to 16 for the A.J. Klein/Chase Blackburn combo.
  • Charles Godfrey is listed as a cornerback, but he played plenty at strong safety in place of Roman Harper whose 19 snaps are somewhat surprising low.
  • Not sure what all the hubbub was about Thomas DeCoud as he only missed three snaps.

Harper's low snap count is surprising.  Wonder why that is?  He didn't play at all during the preseason so maybe he's still getting up to speed with everything.

 

since he missed most of TC....and preseason..   probably not up to football speed just yet,  to play in the humidity of TB..

Harper is used more when the Bucs are expected to run, he is great at laying the wood on the running back.

The Bucs played from behind much of the game yesterday, less running from them, fewer snaps for Harper.

 

Did you have eyes on Decoud?  His name wasn't called yesterday and that's normally a good thing,  but from those watching at home, it means that we don't really get to see how they are doing.

I saw Hardy completely gassed out there on the Sucs 2nd TD drive. Like on a knee not moving.

 

I thought I saw him motion to come out a few time, they left him in.

 

Maybe due to "light" training camp, and cooler than normal temps in SC, the boys aren't fully conditioned yet.

Wow that Bene / 3rd LB snap count ratio is pretty interesting.  Can anyone go more in depth on that?

 

We probably knew they weren't going to beat us primarily with their run game, especially in the second half. The Bucs do have some weapons in the pass game.  Also having a nickel out there allowed us to allow Roman Harper to play to his strengths by focusing on attacking down hill.

    • I get what you’re saying but the reason I think his mentality underscores it all is that he did have legitimately solid and sometimes even good games at the end of last year after his bench, and against some good teams (PHI, Tampa, KC)   but that was only after the season was shot and everyone thought he was done for. then once he had to play a meaningful game on Sunday he crumbled right back to pre bench form. It’s like he’s only able to when it *doesnt* matter  But all just semantics tbh, we both agree that he ain’t it lol
    • I'm still a big Bryce supporter. I don't look much at his rookie year as that only deepened the hole he has to climb out of. I see this past game as the 1st of his 2nd year.  Judge him based off of his play after his benching.  No argument that is play those first two games last year were about as bad as it gets.  No question. This is the start of year 2 for Canales and he was out coaches against the Jags but I like his process and how he goes about things.  I like that he, Morgan and Tillis seem like a unit and on the same path. Saying we never should have drafted him based on his height and weight is a valid opinion but he was a universal top pick in the draft and elite talent coming out.  I have seen little evidence those are still issues.  He is physical enough to take some monster hits and I don't see a limit to his passing due to his height. The lack of arm strength is a tired argument.  He has the physical ability to make all the necessary NFL throws.   Of course he doesn't have the cannon Cam did coming out but he also doesn't have Cams accuracy and throwing with touch issues.  They are different players and Bryce has a ton of work to do just to be in Cams shadow. Bryce IS part of the problem but he isn't the problem.  His play the last half of the season last year was impressive and showed a ton of growth and improvement. Outside of Horn, Nola and Chuba the whole team and staff looked severely off and not ready.   If Dave calls a great game and other players play average NFL level football and Bryce still plays like this that is when we'll actually have as big an issue at QB as the haters believe. The issues are team wide and it's one game. Also, I like Tepper.
    • They aren't credited with drops.   That's just PFF.  Not sure why they are still being pimped this hard when week 1 really highlights how bad they can be at times.  Especially when they manufactured Bryce's grade like they did.  Some 1984 stuff going on there....PFF telling folks not to believe their eyes and ears.
