Defensive Snaps Week 1 Vs Colts

[Ram65]

They (turfshowtimes.com) do a great job with this that includes the offense . The blowout win skews the numbers but, gave the Rams a chance to get the backups a chance to get some PT early in the year. The Rams only had about 50 defensive snaps due to the poor Colts offense. Ogletree, Barron and Johnson saw the most snaps last year at 100%, 99.72% and 87.43 (TJ McDonald 98.7% last year). As noted in the article Quinn came out in nickle defense which would seem to be a pass down. For those that are wondering Aaron Donald played in 76.06% of plays last year. Forecast is in the mid 70's and partly cloudy so not as bad as the opener at around 90. I was NOT impressed with the early pressure the Rams put on the QB last week. Box score said 4 sacks but, in the first half Tolzien had time to throw. It will be interesting to see how more snaps Quinn gets and how many Donald gets against a much better Redskins offensive line. Donald taking some snaps away from the other defensive tackles could give them an improve chance for creating pressure. Hopefully, Phillips comes up with some pressure schemes to get Cousins off his mark and game. Should be interesting.

Thoughts.
