So, our backups only get play time when a starter needs a breather or is injured so a lack of experience for our depth guys is going to be an issue. I would like to see more of a rotation to keep our guys fresh for 3rd and 4th quarters when their O-line gets winded.
We need to find more pass rush so maybe this will end up helping our team in the long run if some of the depth shines like Ossai Tufele Sample or Gunter. As well as give the coaches confidence in these guys to play them in a rotation when Hendrickson and Hubber get back.
What you say is true, but we do rotate some, especially inside. I think we wanted to mange Ossai's snaps coming off the injury.
For reference, Bell has played nearly 99% of all defensive snaps: 891 for Vonn.
Hubbard: 735 (81.49%)
Hill: 706 (78.27%)
Hendrickson: 587 (65.08%)
Carter: 351 (38.91%)
Reader: 316 (35.03%)
Sample: 315 (34.92%)
Ossai: 253 (28.05%)
Tupou: 239 (26.50%)
Tufele: 138 (15.30%)
Gunter: 31 (3.44%)
Reader, Tupou, Gunter, Hendrickson, and now Hubbard have all missed multiple games.
