WTH did Pratt do

He's played a ton of snaps (1,020). Before the Sunday games are processed, Pratt was 3rd in snaps via PFF among 183 rated LBs. He was 3rd in tackles. He was 176th/183 in missed tackles. 

He is in line with his snaps. He is just a smidge below median amongst LBs. Rated as a good run stopper but below average in coverage. 

He is not a 3 down player anymore, if he ever was. But we kind of have a problem. With Wilson out, yanking Pratt means a 3rd safety (Bell) who got benched this year or playing Ngomgmeya or Heyward (Bachie is also out). Anderson has zero D snaps and I don't think Anthony has had any since the Chiefs game. An extra CB makes sense, but we are down Hill & Turner already, and pass D is not Hilton's strength. Despite this, Ivey & Wilson seem to be getting a handful of snaps per game. 

Overall, after this year, I'd rate DT, DE, S as more pressing needs than LB. IOL as well. TE1, too. 

That said, if Campbell is sitting there Rd2, probably bite if we successfully hit the trenches hard in FA.

Other than QB1, WR1, DE1, RB1, LT, & RT and maybe C, I think we couod use upgrades or reinforcements everywhere. There is no way we can get to all of it. We are gonna have to live with a couple warts next year.

 

I only posted the missed tackle stats because people were discussing it earlier in the tread from a different source.  But that ranking was tied with one other player that also played earlier and as of today he is still tied for 2nd per PFR.  Then I went ahead and added a few other PFR stats for the heck of it. I did notice his missed tackle percentage increased from last year (but noted lower than others with similar missed tackles) and also included his high ranking for solo and combined tackles.  I have made no comment on if I think Pratt should get cut or not or my feelings about him overall.   I simply posted those PFR rankings and stats because others were discussing them. For clarity I should have quoted those people in my response.
