COMMENTS

Offense – Elephant in the room, Jake Garcia entered the game with roughly 8 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.

Very tight rotation on the offensive line, with the starters all playing 98 snaps. A bit of a wider rotation in WR room – Redding and Ladson leading the way with 75 and 69 respectively. I liked seeing Ladson out there getting meaningful snaps and having a nice impact on the game. Rooster was limited again due to injury.

Defense – snap counts and rotation of players remained pretty consistent from last week. Of note, Tyrique Stevenson dealt with an injury so the defensive backs had a 7-man rotation. Interesting to see Frierson only get 2 snaps.

This was a tough one to swallow. Can’t get any worse, right?
