Snap Counts vs Browns

[*pally*]

In addition to what Paul noted, there were some nice impact plays from guys with limited snaps

-Vonn Bell forced a TD saving fumble and recovered it as well
-Cedrick Johnson with a sack
-DJ Ivey with a tipped ball that led to an INT

and Tanner Maclachlan FINALLY got to see the field

#Bengals snap count thoughts:

? Hubbard injury mostly meant more snaps for Ossai. Murphy usage just a slight uptick.

? Not a thought of spelling Chase Brown at this point. He’s a machine.

? Jenkins/Jackson making the most of <50% pic.twitter.com/Mm9g9sXFw4

I think the play with Johnson was not scored as a sack, as they ruled intentional grounding. I think he gor a QB hit/pressure on the play.

Great! They changed the stat to a sack?

Yah know why I like Chase Brown better than Joe Mixon? He is consistent. Hits the hole fast time and time again without hesitancy.

Plus he isn't too shabby catching the ball out of the backfield this season either. Upgrade.

I really like it when Brown immediately makes his decision and accelerates. When you have an iffy OL, dancing around behind it rarely ends in anything good.

There were SO. MANY. People on twitter just flaying out team alive for getting rid of Mixon early in the year when he was having good game: they are all silent now, after his really bad 6 game stretch.

Meanwhile, Chase Brown is doing even better than Mixon was earlier in the year, so looks like we made the right decision after all.

The only thing Mixon is the clear leader in is rushing TDs (11 vs. 7), otherwise it's a wash or Chase is better than him in everything else, in only 40 more snaps.

I have always liked Brown. Though the one fumble was costly. Ball security is all Mixon has on him. 

However, since Mixon and Brown were both on the team already, the proper framing is Mixon/Brown vs Moss/Brown + money saved. 

Brown would still be second string if Moss had not gotten hurt. That tells you something about the coaches. Of course, if Mixon had stayed, Brown would still be 2nd string as well. 

But I'd take Mixon over Moss, any day. Coaching blunders aside, I like Brown + Mixon the best.

Brown was getting more snaps than Moss when Moss got hurt

Actually there was a noticeable increase in snap counts and carries after the first fews games between Chase and Moss, from game 4 on, Chase from getting almost double the carries till Moss got hurt..

Yep, we saw Mixon dancing around behind the line tons. Happy that is in Houston now. We can add another RB to compliment Brown now.

I like Herbert as a runner, but he hasn't got many snaps with how well Chase has been. Still would like a pounder.

Those people were idiots. Said so at the time, just watch, he will go back to his inconsistent ways. Was nice at the beginning when 
everything was fresh but Mixon will show himself eventually with his hesitancy and inconsistent running ways.

Mixon DOES have ball security on Brown that is for sure. That is the only thing though like you say. I actually am not for bringing back 
Moss as he was supposed to be a good pass protector for us and he wasn't even that. Chase Brown has actually been a much better pass
protector for us. Love this guy.

Like I said, bring back Herbert and add a pounder to bring some physicality to our running game and we are good at RB.

Which is a good sign for the Offensive coaches. They were seeing who the better RB was.

The Defensive coaches are the ones that are really inept this year and they have to go.
