Obviously a few things stand out here. First of all, Rex went all mad scientist again and played a wide receiver as a safety on two defensive snaps. With the secondary banged up, why not. All four members of the starting secondary unit played 100% of the snaps and at one point we actually had four safeties on the field in Pryor, Landry, Allen and Jarrett. The defensive tackles got some rest with Snacks only playing 39% of the snaps, we did push the Raiders into a lot of third and longs where we would shift in more athletic players.
I'm really pleased to see Trevor Reilly get 5 snaps on the defensive side of the football. He was one of my favourite prospects we signed in the 7th round this year and really pulling for him to make it, although I don't remember seeing him on the field. Coples had one big hit but for playing 76% of the defensive snaps, I really don't remember him doing a great deal which is worrying. Perhaps Babin and Reilly will see their snaps go up over the coming weeks if nothing changes, something to keep an eye one.
