There are some interesting numbers within the snap count chart from yesterday.

Things that stand out to me:
- Darrelle Revis logged 92% of the snaps, while Mitchell and Nelson played 100%.
- Tamba Hali played 49% of the defensive snaps, 2nd most of all OLBs on the team. Zombo played 38%, while KPass played 25%.
- The defensive line shows some surprising numbers. Chris Jones lead the DL with 77% of the snaps, while Bailey logged 49%. Where it gets interesting though is behind those two.... Jarvis Jenkins played 43% of the defensive snaps, and Bennie Logan played just 15% (9 snaps). RNR played 15 snaps, or 25%.

Just looking at these numbers, it would seem that Bennie Logan has been more or less benched. This is surprising because I actually didn't think he was playing terribly. Credit to Jenkins though, who stepped up big yesterday when presented the opportunity.

Also, Hali being 2nd in snaps behind Houston is quite encouraging. I still don't believe he is getting enough snaps, but at least we are seeing them begin to work him in steadily. That will be critical going forward because he is our best option at ROLB...

Hopefully these changes continue to reap rewards, and the defense continues to play with the fire and passion we saw yesterday. It will be needed Saturday night if they want to contain Phil Rivers and his weaponry.

I keep reading DJ getting more time off. 70% is still a lot of snaps.

Wish Mitch Holtus would take more time off.

Bennie Logan needs to only play in the 3-4 package.

He's only on a 1 year deal. Hopefully, we find a good upgrade for him in the off-season.
