falcons007 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I went back and looked at the defensive snaps and there were 3 DT's and 1 DE on the line for 1/3rd of the game. That is total of 16 snaps/49. I like how Nolan tries different things on defense every week like a mad scientist. Jerry,Walker and Babs were all on the field at the same time, mostly Babs and Jerry lined up as a DE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad but true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad but true.But Abe got less number of snaps than KB. It has more to do with stopping run or stuff the line. Why would you take Abe out of the game and put DT.

DonOfThemBirds Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I think that Walker is close to as good as Babs when it comes to rushing the QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltstorm2 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 That's a very good plan to throw at a zone blocking scheme. They're trying to move your guys one way and its harder to move bigger guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconinPA Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Probably trying to find a back up for Biermann, I mean Edwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmite Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Kind of like dropping Kroy to play middle safety near the end of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said Kroy was not supposed to go there and it was a mistake. I guess Kroy improvised and was showing his safety skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
