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).

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It wasn't a his sack production, it was about his skill set, build, and scheme fit. He's a six foot tall 280 pound DT. He's best used as an interior pass rushing specialist. He can't play the nose in a 3-4 and he doesn't have the length or burst to play he end either. He just wasn't a scheme fit. He'd be a good roster piece as a rotational pass rushing specialist DT to bring in on passing downs in an even defensive front. But you can't hand out a 3 year/$45M contract for that either. Tha type of contract means you have to try to find starter snap numbers for him and that's a problem in a 3-4 front. Hell, it's a problem in a 4-3 front too. That's why the Chiefs were willing to let him walk.

      Quite a few people argued we way overpaid high end starter money for a guy that was basically a capable backup at best. It was a bad move facilitated by a need to save face after missing out on Williams. It is what it is man. We aren't being paid to carry Dan Morgan's water. It'll be alright.

      Who else at DT was available coming off a 6.5 sack season, that was relatively affordable?  We took the Milton Williams money and added Turk AND Bobby Brown III. You can't predict soft tissue, and surgery in this case. Part of the business.
