ARROW UP
0 Bernadel - Played just about every snap and had best game from start to finish IMO.
0 Reuben - Got the start and out there for the majority of snaps. Still hoping for a little more from him.
3 Farrell - Continues to be involved in the run/pass game plan. Another rushing TD.
4 Manley - Out there for every play like always. It feels like teams are starting to go his way more frequently.
6 Wright - Our top cover guy is kind of a sneaky good tackler.
8 Lamson - About 1/3 of the snaps in the 2 QB system that CTT is obviously very comfortable with. Could/should have placed him in the arrow down list as he has not been able to take more advantage. Made a couple of damn nice runs. Runs downhill with some purpose.
8 Sinclair - Still starting and getting a lot more snaps than he probably should be.
10 Jorgensen - A dozen snaps for the main ILB backup.
11 Tafiti - OLB3 just lacking agility. Man I hate that knee brace.
13 Ayomanor - Led the position group in snaps, targets and receptions.
14 Daniels - Still appears to be QB1. Still a young player. Helluva throw to Tiger in the end zone. The QB position was not really the problem as far as being able to win the game. It wasn't perfect of course, but damn it isn't easy playing behind this OL. However, that miss to Filkins was BAD. And there were a couple others. And throwing a pass TEN FEET past the LOS?! I dunno man.
20 Slocum - Back at NB and playing a ton after missing the Sac St game (injured?). Thought I saw him in uniform pregame. Anyway, Cats decided not to go after him much.
21 Edwards - Starter at FS still needs to clean up the tackling. Had a chance to prevent 2Q TD pass but TE ran right thru his arms. Interestingly played like 20 snaps as kind of a hybrid OLB. Did not return after injury.
23 Bailey - Back at one of the starting OLB spots. He is closer to playing like one of our worst strarting defenders than one of our best. Was actually in coverage and #7 ran right into his 1 sack.
24 Bachmeier - Kid has some juice. Snaps, targets and catches all on the rise. Right on Reuben's heels for more playing time. But that drop in the end zone was brutal.
26 Irvin - Well, I didn't see the freshman being our lead back in GM4 coming. Was pretty good in pass pro too although I'm skeptical of that holding up moving forward. Feels like there are a lot of layers here on the huge snap increase.
33 Gilman - SS played them all. I think the staff knows exactly what they are going to get from the player each week. Left a big INT on the field.
40 Phillips - Didn't get the start and snaps were down but that was due to game plan going with less NT vs Arizona after ironman work LW. Solid game.
44 - Cooper - Saw his highest snap count total so far. Was surprisingly used as the 'spy' on obvi passing downs. Came after the QB a couple times. PLAY THIS GUY MORE.
51 Moi - Still getting 20+ snaps in a backup role but those snaps are decreasing. Has been the weak link of a pretty solid position group.
57 Rogers - Nice bounce back game especially in pass pro
71 McLaughlin - Played every snap at RT. He has played better.
72 Uke - Got the start for the injured Pale but I'm not so sure this would not have happened anyway. Played the 1H and I can tell you he was solid in pass pro.
76 Leyrer - Played thru the first 3Q's then benched. Going to have to make a change at LT.
77 Berzins - Well I was pretty confident there was going to be change within the interior ("amateur thinking"). I was not confident it was going to be #77. Every snap. Played the 1H at LG and the 2H at RG. HOLY MOLY. The guy looked like he knew what he was doing in pass pro. too. He and Uke are a way better pass pro combo than Mayberry and Pale.
84 Yurosek - Well, the good news is we looked his way a few more times this week. That contested ball in the end zone is a play your DUDE has to make. And my God what an awful read/miss by Daniels as 84 was running wide ass open early down the side.
86 Roush - LFG . Stop playing 10 vs 11 on offense. TE2 more involved with 3 catches.
91 Caughey - Only 1 snap in the previous 2 games, Pat got in there early on some passing downs to get after the QB.
92 Keneley - I want to like the player - he gives an honest effort - but I also want my edge guys making the QB uncomfortable, and he hasn't got near one in 3 weeks.
94 Franklin - As you know, I really like the player. Led the DL in snap count by a bunch. Solid game.
98 Buckey - Received some of Phillips snaps this week to get after the QB a little more. Got home once and had a solid game.
* 31 Morris - Freshman made a very nice play on punt cover. Something to keep an eye on. You start gaining the trust of the staff on ST's and all of a sudden you are getting more reps at your position.
ARROW DOWN
2 Filkins - Only 11 snaps. Zero rushing attempts. Did have 3 targets. We shall see....
11 Patu - Still no role for QB3
14 Aybar - Looks like he has settled in for about a dozen snaps per game now as Tafiti has moved ahead.
15 Butler - Only on the field for 5 snaps. Gave up a sack in pass pro on 1 of them. No carries.
15 Weselman - Benched mid game. CTT is holding EVERYONE accountable.
22 Smith - Only 10 snaps. 1 carry. We shall see....
27 Porter/29 Williams - Nothing since the USC game.
32 Leigber - Saw the field only after the Edwards injury.
35 Rose - 3 snaps.
57 Lytle - Didn't see the field.
58 Bank - BIG arrow down. Looks buried.
61 Mayberry - Player was benched for the 1H after 3 very subpar performances. Back to his LG spot for the 2H and played better.
67 Anderson - Replaced Leyrer in the 4Q. Surprised he wasn't in the mix earlier.
74 Pogorelc - The veteran OL did not see the field.
85 Taylor - Not part of the game plan this week only 2 snaps.
