I was a little disappointed when I opened the article this week, as one of the things I really wanted to get some other opinions on was the usage of Tahir Whitehead last week and going forward. However, this appears to be something that was either missed or ignored.
Despite the strong boxscore for Whitehead, he only played in 50/69 snaps. Per here, Josh Bynes replaced him in the nickel packages on 19 snaps. Despite this, Whitehead was still listed as an every-down backer in the article; and the DET specific paragraph didn't mention this.
Would love to get Jene and others thoughts on this going forward.
