Bills-49ers Defensive Snap Counts are up. Make what you will of 'em.

[Hapless Bills Fan]

On defense (click to embiggen).  Order  is 1st 2 col offense, col 3,4 defense, col 5,6 ST

Kinda looks like Klein losing snaps to MILANOOOOOOO and Zimmer losing snaps to Harry, who was up 5% from 25% to 30% of the snaps

Oliver and Butler still look like the go-to DT pairing

 

Surprised that Darryl Johnson took so many snaps at end

[y2zipper]

It's good to see the secondary fully healthy. Nobody outside of that nickel group is going to get too many snaps.

 

They used Milano as the situational pass rusher yesterday. They like him vs the pass better than Klein.

[BuffaloRebound]

Johnson made the most of his snaps.  Wallace must have compromising pictures of Frazier.

Maybe he's getting back into form finally.

But still used much less than Klein or Edmunds.  Wonder how healthy he really is?

Oh he clearly isn't all the way back yet.

Edmunds and Milano are both never come off the field on D players when healthy.

Edmunds plays his own position. It isnt either/or with him.

 

It's really Milano & Klein. No need to rush him back with how well Klein has been playing. Get him some light reps to ease back in. And it gives us a TON of different looks we can throw at opposing QBs.

[Doc]

Pitch count for Milano. Smart move.

I know he gets beat a bit. But he’s opposite an all pro so he’s gonna get all the action. He was in the neighborhood on most plays. Was really close to deflecting a few others. D line pressure was ok but not great. Wallace is the starter and with the possible exception of the rookie Jackson I think he’s our two cb.

Yeah, the CB opposite the top corner will get targeted a lot more. He has had moments where he’s looked good but some moments where he’s been toasted bad.

Had to look up "embiggen" thinking it was clearly not a real word. 

Turns out it was actually recently added to the dictionary after first being heard on the Simpsons in 1996.

Learn something everyday.

Wallace was bad last night.  If Josh didn’t play out of his mind, he could’ve cost us the game.

I don't know where to find those numbers but I was convinced last week that his snaps were not only going up, but that he was being used in key, late game situations way more than he ever had in his time here.

I think he might be making a move up the depth chart, at least in the minds of his coaches.

[Juice_32]

Harry and Butler both flashed last night. Hope they can get the DL figured out by playoff time.

Johnson was having an excellent game. At least two killer hits on ST and that tremendous TFL of nine yards. He earned his snaps.

His play is no doubt what is keeping Murphy on the Inactive List.
