that's a start, but pull it for DBs and you'd notice that adding up snaps for Norman/Benwikere/Tillman/Jones/Finnegan and you see it lines up about where they quoted for the team a few weeks ago on the game broadcast, about 77% nickel, which doesn't include Shaq. 

I do remember seeing some Shaq in space against Seattle.  Not as much against Philly as they were very spread and didn't use Sproles that much.  If the premise is, figure out how much he's playing in nickel, a negligible amount.  I don't know if PFF grades would bear out his time at nickel or in space, separately from his LB time.

I am surprised with all the speed he has and his hard hitting, which is why the coaches and GM says he was drafted, he is not on the field more...why would Klein ever start in that position over him

Most of Kleins snaps are filling in for Luke in the middle. And Shaq has looked a little lost in coverage (like most rookie linebackers do) so I see nothing strange with that. 

Give the kid some time to develop of he will get more snaps (it is already happening).

      So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...

      Trade deadline

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
