who played "slot" or "inside" CB Sunday? - fredtoast - 12-02-2019
Most games we play 5 DBs 60%-70% of the snaps.
Sunday there were 74 defensive snaps and our 4 starting DBs played pretty much every snap CB Dennard (71), CB Jackson (74), SS Williams (74), FS Bates (74). But after that it does not seem like any of our other CBs played any significant snaps (Phillips played 4).
However Fejedelem, (who had played zero defensive snaps in the last 5 weeks) played 21 and Brandon Wilson played 18. So was Wilson or Fej playing the inside/slot CB position?

Interesting that they finally used Fej. Fej was pretty good last year.

He has shown some flashes, but I never considered him a slot CB.
Did Bates switch to CB when Fej or Wilson came into the game?

They used Brandon Wilson as the big nickle I noticed he matched up against TEs in man coverage...more than once on the outside.
