Interesting numbers as to snap counts

[casear2727]

Would like to see some of the young guys get more snaps in the last game.  

A few #Bengals snap count thoughts:

- Turned fully to CTB &Awuzie at CB. Turner only in dime sub-package

- Only 30 plays of Higgins (hamstring) was massive. Already pared back game plan because Chase at 70% health

- Surprising Chase Brown hasn’t carved out larger role (15%) pic.twitter.com/mgo1AkCXNK

Too much Irwin, not enough Yoshi.

Ossai has become an afterthought.  5 snaps?

Using a day 2 pick on a guy that barely plays. Fun times.

Having Sample out there 72% of the time feels a bit like playing 10-on-11 or at least 10.5-on-11.

Saw this on the snap counts of the younger players.

Quote:he Cincinnati Bengals didn't give younger players enough run during the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs that eliminated them from playoff contention.
That much seems obvious when looking at the official snap counts from the loss.

Some takeaways:
Guard Alex Cappa played 93 percent of the snaps compared to his usual 100 due to a mid-game injury.

Ja'Marr Chase (73 percent) and Tee Higgins (41) both played through injuries, with the latter leaving and eventually returning to tough it out.
Rookie wideout Andrei Iosivas only got 20 snaps, while Charlie Jones was restricted to special teams. Missing the latter's speed when other players were hobbled hurt the offense.
Despite the massive outbursts in recent weeks, rookie running back Chase Brown only got 11 snaps. That's inexcusable, barring injury or massive concerns about pass protection, given the speed he presents.
Same story on defense, where first-rounder Myles Murphy only got 16 snaps despite it seeming like Sam Hubbard was limited by injury and Trey Hendrickson logged 72 percent. While we're at it, Joseph Ossai played just five snaps.
Bottom line: The Bengals drafted talent and didn't use it. It feels like the staff got stuck wanting to run a limited playbook for injured stars instead of relying on the guys they drafted and keep the attack fully open and it cost them. The team should be open to massively playing these players during the Week 18 game against the Browns that doesn't matter.

It's not 2019 anymore: the guy has more than proven his worth.

Iosivas 20 snaps and Brown only 11 is just crazy. Especially Brown! It's clear Mixon just isn't the answer going forward as the main starter. Spell back, 3rd down ? maybe ?

And if they can't keep Tee yoshi needs the reps as well.

Drew Sample is still closer to a 40% snap count kinda guy because he would be directly tied to the percentage of 12 personnel formations.



The Chase Brown stuff is interesting. I thought the Vikings game was the best RB snap split of the year with Brown getting reps early and Mixon closing out the game.

I suspect he’s not the same since his injury last year and high ankle sprain early this year.

Don’t do this….

Best pass blocking TE in the league got him those snaps

I mean, who's he going to steal snaps from? It's obvious at this point they like Murphy better.

Not the same guy? I mean he's never been a consistently good player. It's unfortunate but at this point he is what he is. They wouldn't have draft Murphy as a first round pick if they truly believed in Ossai.

It's hard to figure out what we have in (or what happened to) Ossai when he is only getting 5 snaps.

I suspect he’s just not that good.

Last week was a big game so I did not expect Brown out there over 30% of the time since he has not been that effective between tackles and 3rd down protection still a bit of a risk but i would have thought he be in the 20 to 25% range. This week im sure we will see more of him

The difference is we are spectators , we are not in the know on and off the field as coaches are....plus Murphy has played better as season went on so less snaps for Ossai

I think they still draft Murphy regardless. He was the best available on their board I would imagine, with the additional thought of "one can never have too many pass rushers".
