Deadpulse Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Some things to note: With Rowe out and Gilmore limited, Butler went from dog house to every defensive snap. Love seeing my boy Hollister playing just as much as Dorsett Elandon Roberts got a big cut of the pie this week while David Harris improves on his 1 snap.

Apparition Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 It's great that Flowers is good enough to be playing almost every snap, but I get leery of doing that to a young DL early in the season. Hopefully he doesn't get worn down in December/January like Chandler Jones would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else seems to be situational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would like to see the team use more 30 fronts (with Guy and Butler at 5T and either Branch or Brown at NT) when Hightower returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have High play on the edge, give Flowers a chance to move around the formation. Have Roberts be more of a downhill player in the middle with KVN as the "general" zone guy. KVN isnt super suited for that, but he is probably our best coverage backer (unfortunately). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking was more 3-4, but I see what you are saying. I''d like to see High get some edge opportunities though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission27 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Interesting to see James White was on the field the most out of the backs, didn't seem that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly the most valuable back in the eyes of the coaching staff. Lewis is pretty much a forgotten man at this point. He could end up a game day inactive when Burkhead returns. Not sure who would return kicks but Lewis doesn't have much of a role on game day outside of injury protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Did we play Cover 1 most of the time? I barely noticed Chung at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowers playing time is a product of the teams we are playing and until Branch comes back to life (kinda had some moments this game) the talent is only on Flowers. Marsh made a decent play with the strip sack, then he royally pissed on a coach by almost not getting off the field in time. Luckily Watson drew a delay of game that play, but the clock was doing weird things as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ForTheThumb Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Didn't Marquis Flowers start? And then played one snap the rest of the way? Kind of odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt be shocked if he was the practice player of the week or something and got the start as a little bonus to him and a boon to push him to continue improving. Or I'm completely wrong lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
