Quintin Demps is back at S over Stevie Brown. Not helping on that Wilson keeper, though...

thanks

Patricia Traina @Patricia_Traina · Nov 9

Wonder if Demps was the one who failed to give the deep help on the Hawks scoring drive.

BTW, looks like Stevie Brown has replaced Quintin Demps at safety.

idk, but here's some twitters

Almost started a new thread, but thought better of it.

Any guesses on Humber/Hawthorns this week?

Bye weeks and injuries have left me digging for scraps this week. It's either him or a pass rusher. No one else is playing the middle and getting a majority of the snaps, this week's injury report withstanding.

humber seemed to be a better run defender than hawthorne. he was an aggressive thumper. some of it was the matchup, of course, but i like humber.

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

Linebacker David Hawthorne (hand) returned to practice on a limited basis after missing the past two games.

 

[replacements]

Anyone know if larry asante is a full time starter in Oakland? He put ups nice numbers playing 99% of the snaps last week.

CLEVELAND – D.J. Swearinger didn’t start at strong safety, placing veteran Danieal Manning in the lineup.
Coach Bill O’Brien said Swearinger didn’t break any rules.

The second-year defender took the field on the Browns’ first offensive series after sitting out the initial plays.

“That was just the package that we started with,” O’Brien said. “D.J. was in there quite a bit.”

Four different Charger linemen recorded positives when getting out on Burris, helping him to a run defense grade that dragged his season mark further down to a league-low for inside linebackers (by a distance), -24.5. ~ PFF

Breakdown: Quinn had a big game as a pass rusher, tallying three hits, two hurries and two batted passes. This was the fourth green-graded game in a row for Quinn, who now ranks sixth among 4-3 defensive ends in our cumulative pass rushing grading.

Signature Play: On 4th-and-4 at 9.47 in the fourth quarter, Quinn burst through the middle of Denver’s offensive line untouched on a stunt, setting up Aaron Donald for an easy cleanup sack ~ PFF

[5-ish Finkle]

So....someone who has watched more Cardinals football than I have want to give me a "5,000 ft.-level" take on Alex Okafor?

See the lines from the past few weeks, see the snap counts from the last month. I'm intrigued, but haven't got to see/hear anything much about his deal this year. He's starting at the Will now, or Sam?

The cards play a 3-4 defense. "Will" and "Sam" are typically termonology for the 4-3 OLBs. Okafor is a 3-4 OLB, and has played both the ROLB and LOLB slots. He is young, so there is room to grow. If you are in a big play dynasty, he should likely be rostered. He shouldn't be touched in tackle heavy formats. PFF gives him slightly below average grades so far, in all 3 phases (vs run, pass rusher, coverage). However, he's only had like 400 career snaps which is low -- right now he's getting sacks based on the volume of snaps. He's got talent, we just hope to see improvement.

Yeah, I know they play a 3-4. The OLBs are still referred to as Will and Sam in many 3-4 fronts.

Thanks for the bolded though. That's the kind of info I was looking for.

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

Chip Kelly's first-round pick in 2014, Marcus Smith, has played in just 59 snaps this season.


On Sunday, when the Eagles were down by more than 30 points to the Packers in Green Bay, a situation that would normally be perfect for an active rookie to get some playing time, Smith did not see the field once.

At this point, it might be fair to ask: What gives?

"He needs to be more consistent from a practice standpoint," Kelly said Monday, via the Delaware County Daily Times.

Kelly has been hounded about his rookie all season. Smith did not play in either of Philadelphia's first two games and has never taken more than 18 reps in a single game.

Smith had a few opportunities -- injuries to Mychal Kendricks and DeMeco Ryans -- but Kelly hasn't shifted his opinion on the versatile pass rusher.

He was one of just three active members on the roster Sunday that did not play.

"He has to show the coaches that we have the trust in him to put him on the field," Kelly said

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

Anyone know if larry asante is a full time starter in Oakland? He put ups nice numbers playing 99% of the snaps last week.

12% this week with carrie back, but carrie was missing from practice today, I believe, although still early in the week

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

added sd/oak, pit/ten (mon night) + some blurbs

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

Dolphins LB Philip Wheeler has played just 75 defensive snaps since criticizing the coaching staff following the Week 6 loss to the Packers.
After calling out the coaches, one Dolphins player opined that Wheeler is "done here." It appears the Dolphins have certainly moved on, as they've turned to Jelani Jenkins and Koa Misi as every-down linebackers. Wheeler will count $4.2 million against the 2015 cap whether he's in Miami or not.

Signature Stat: Made a team-high six defensive stops from is seven tackles. Nobody else on the Bills had more than three.

Dallas Cowboys: Defensive tackle Henry Melton leads all defensive/nose tackles in Pass Rushing Productivity at 10.6. He has six sacks, four hits and 18 hurries on 213 pass rushes. ~ PFF

IRVING — Despite leaving Sunday night’s game late in the fourth quarter with hamstring cramps, Dallas Cowboys starting safety Barry Church was on the practice field for the team’s Monday afternoon walk-through.

“They didn’t want to risk me pulling them or anything, so they just pulled me from the game in the last minute,” Church said Sunday night.

Any doubts about playing Thanksgiving day against Philadelphia?

“Oh no,” Church said. “I’ll be in there Thursday.”

Normally, safeties Barry Church and J.J. Wilcox don’t come off the field much. But Church left the game in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Jeff Heath, who injured his right thumb. Heath, who played 10 snaps, took over Tyler Patmon’s responsibilities in the Cowboys’ dime defense.
At the end of the game, the Cowboys were using C.J. Spillman at free safety and Wilcox at strong safety.

Marshall suffered the injury when he collided with Dolphins tight end Dion Sims during Ward’s return and was immediately taken to the Broncos' locker room following the play. At linebacker Nate Irving is already on injured reserve for the Broncos while Danny Trevathan is eligible to return to practice this week, but will not be eligible to play coming off injured reserve until the Broncos Dec. 14 game in San Diego.
That will put rookie Lamin Barrow, who played as the second linebacker alongside Marshall in the nickel, for much of Sunday’s game in line for more playing time. Rookie Corey Nelson could be worked into some of the specialty packages as well.
Andrew Mason @MaseDenver · 3h 3 hours ago John Fox, on using Lamin Barrow as a nickel LB in the first half: "It's a process ... we've got some young guys we're rotating."

Andrew Mason @MaseDenver · 24h 24 hours ago

Broncos open this series with Barrow and Ward as the nickel LBs, with Marshall leaving the game after the last series.
The Broncos could also have some juggling to do in the secondary as cornerback Aqib Talib, who has never played in 16 games in any season of his career, left the game with a hamstring injury in the first quarter. He tried to return for a handful of plays, but did not play in the second half.
The player the Broncos put into some of the nickel and dimes looks after Talib suffered his injury, cornerback Kayvon Webster, suffered a right shoulder injury as well. Both Talib and Webster are expected to get MRI exams Monday, but Webster was wearing a sling on his right shoulder following the game.

Lions safety Glover Quin lined up in the slot more often than normal as Detroit used its three-safety nickel package with Quin, James Ihedigbo and Isa Abdul-Quddus. Detroit did that to try to keep New England from finding mismatches all day. "That was the thinking behind that," Quin said. "To try to hold up [passes] and the run game."

On an injury report released Monday because Detroit plays the Chicago Bears on Thursday, six starters did not practice and four others were limited.
Most notable on the list were three-fourths of Detroit's secondary. Safety James Ihedigbo would not have practiced with a knee injury and both cornerback Rashean Mathis (ankle) and safety Glover Quin (back) would have been limited.
The other players who would have been out Monday were defensive tackle Nick Fairley (knee), linebacker Ashlee Palmer (concussion)

Palmer suffered the concussion Sunday against the Patriots
Defensive ends Ezekiel Ansah (elbow) and George Johnson (foot) would have been limited along with Mathis, Quin

Noteworthy: Defensive coordinator Dom Capers went back to his base 3-4 after not using it the previous two weeks, but Matthews remained at inside linebacker in that scheme and in nickel. Early in the game, Matthews did not play in the third-down dime package in order to protect his groin strain. … Without Nick Perry (shoulder) inactive, Neal and Elliott split time at Matthews' old outside spot. Elliott previously had played only 18 snaps on defense all season. … Daniels had one of his best games with a sack, two QB hits and four QB hurries, per PFF. … Hawk looked slow in coverage against tight end Kyle Rudolph, especially on Rudolph's 23-yard catch and run on the Vikings' first snap, and was charged with allowing four catches for 80 yards by PFF. … Brad Jones, and not Hawk, played as the lone inside linebacker in the dime. … Hyde continues to play in the nickel and Hayward in the dime.

IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys are expected to be without safety Jeff Heath and defensive lineman Jack Crawford on Thursday against the Philadelphia Eagles because of upcoming thumb surgeries.
Heath and Crawford are scheduled to each have surgery on Tuesday morning, but the injuries are not expected to be season-ending. Heath would not rule out playing Thursday but admitted it is a long shot. Crawford's absence would open up a spot on the defensive line for Terrell McClain or Josh Brent to play against the Eagles. They were inactive in Sunday’s win against the New York Giants.

The Ravens shook up their personnel alignment at the safety position Sunday, but it didn't achieve the desired results. The defense allowed 383 passing yards and three touchdown passes during a 34-33 loss to the San Diego Chargers.

The Ravens began the game in a three-safety set with Will Hill at free safety, Jeromy Miles at strong safety and 2013 first-round draft pick Matt Elam at the big nickel spot.

Previously the starting strong safety, Darian Stewart played just three snaps on defense, a clear demotion.

Dareus was previously reported as a groin injury that he suffered at the end of the first half. He briefly returned to action in the second half, but had his snap count reduced dramatically from his normal output. His status for practice this week is also unknown.

Without Wynn, the Bills defensive line gave more snaps to both Mario Williams and Jerry Hughes at end,

Rookie safety Tre Boston played 29 snaps (60 percent of the total) compared to veteran Thomas DeCoud at 19 (40 percent). DeCoud made a quick exit after biting on a fake that led to a first-quarter touchdown. He played 100 percent of the snaps in the previous game against Atlanta. He only returned in the second half after Boston suffered a mild ankle sprain that won't keep him out this week

Rookie cornerback Bené Benwikere, returning from ankle surgery, played 81 percent of the snaps. Not all of them were at nickel back, where he was before the injury. He played the second half at cornerback in place of veteran Antoine Cason, who was benched after allowing a 17-yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings with 16 seconds left in the first half. It was the second time this season Cason has been benched for missing a play. He played only 46 percent of the plays after playing 100 percent against Atlanta. If Benwikere gets the start as an outside corner against the Saints, look for Colin Jones to start at nickel.

ARLINGTON – Dallas Cowboys safety Barry Church had to come out of Thursday’s game for a few plays in the fourth quarter because he injured his calf. But Church was able to return and said he’ll be fine for next Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Church was hurt trying to tackle Philadelphia Eagles running back Chris Polk on a run to the left side late in the fourth quarter.

“When I tackled him, somebody stepped all over my calf with them cleats man, it hurts,” Church said. “I took a couple of plays off and came back in, but I’ll be straight.”

Cowboys starting middle linebacker Rolando McClain, who finished with seven tackles, also missed some plays in the game while battling a sore right knee that has plagued him throughout the season. But McClain finished the game and is fine.

ARLINGTON — Rolando McClain wasn’t himself on the field much of Thursday. It could easily be seen, as he struggled running and nursed his right knee throughout the game.

Asked if he felt OK afterward, McClain said: “Not at all.”

Added owner Jerry Jones: “He was sensitive with it, but ... he was able to finish. And that’s a good thing. But it did look like he was favoring his knee a little bit out there.”

McClain has been dealing with multiple injuries throughout the season, the latest being his knee. McClain wasn’t ready to make a call for his status on next Thursday’s game in Chicago.

“I don’t know,” McClain said. “We’ve got time to rest, so we’ll see. Pray for the best.”

There's a reason why rookie LBs that get their chances make tons of tackles, Borland for example. The guy's not the most athletic but he tries harder than anyone in SFs defense. So don't give me that crap about they're giving 100%.

Art Stapleton @art_stapleton · Dec 5
As for sub-package involving rookie Nat Berhe that Perry Fewell talked about yesterday ... I'm told it'd be Berhe at WLB in 3-safety looks.

Giants' Damontre Moore eager for more snapsThe promising second-year defensive end will see increased playing time Sunday when the Giants face the Titans in Tennessee. He may even log his first career start with Mathias Kiwanuka and Robert Ayers Jr. done for the season and Cullen Jenkins still hobbled by a calf injury.

But Moore has not earned the trust of the coaching staff or an every-down role, despite the desperate need for a pass rush on the NFL’s 29th-ranked defense. In fact, defensive coordinator Perry Fewell thinks there is another "good question" for Moore.

"How prepared is he to be an every-down defensive end?" he asked rhetorically about an hour after Moore spoke.

"Again, he’s a better pass defender than a run defender. … We’d like him to play the run stouter than he plays it right now.

"I think he’ll be in a rotation. He won’t be an every down defender for us."

In other words, the Giants are really hoping Jenkins — who practiced on a limited basis but "looked good," according to Fewell — will be healthy to start opposite Jason Pierre-Paul despite missing the past three games.

Moore simply is not ready to be an every-down player, physically or mentally. But the final four games will serve as his audition for 2015 and beyond, thanks to the injuries.

Fewell wants to see more dedication from the 6-foot-5, 250-pound Moore in stopping the run and in the weight room. He is 17 pounds lighter than Kiwanuka and 28 lighter than Pierre-Paul.

Starting Buffalo Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes barely saw the field in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Denver Broncos after he was flagged for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the second quarter.
If his dip in playing time after the call was discipline related, it didn't come from coach Doug Marrone.

"I wasn't aware of any substitutional issue," Marrone said after the game. "It was definitely not a discipline thing, at least from my end, from what I was talking about. I'm trying to manage the whole game. I'd have to go back and talk to the defensive coaches."
As a follow-up, a reporter asked if a position coach could bench a player without the head coach knowing.
"Probably no," Marrone said. "Not without me knowing about it, if you bench him."
Hughes, who has been combustible at other points this season, was upset on the field about a pass interference penalty called against cornerback Stephon Gilmore in the second quarter, drawing the flag.
"After that play, I just said, 'Hey, let's get Jerry on the sideline, let's calm him down, we can't afford to lose him. And then let's go,'" Marrone explained.

Noteworthy: The Packers played only eight snaps of their base 3-4 defensive, which was Hawk's only action. Brad Jones was the lone inside linebacker in the dime after Matthews had that role last week against the Patriots. … Datone Jones saw his most action since he sprained his ankle in Week 5 against the Vikings. … Shields, who returned from a concussion against the Patriots, dropped out late and was replaced by House, but coach Mike McCarthy said Shields did not have another injury. He said the plan all along was to rotate. Shields gave up 66 of Julio Jones' 259 yards receiving, according to PFF, while Williams was in coverage for the 79-yarder to start the second half.

With Hodges filling in for Anthony Barr, the Vikings changed their linebacker rotation, keeping Brinkley in on some of their nickel snaps, particularly in situations where it looked like the Jets might run the ball. On more than one occasion, it left Brinkley matched up on Percy Harvin. ... Blanton, like Johnson, will have a MRI on Monday for a leg injury that caused him to leave the game early. Smith also left briefly with a shoulder injury, and Sendejo forced a fumble at the Vikings' 4 in Smith's absence

The Saints have benched second-year SS Kenny Vaccaro. [post game edit]
Galette returned to the game briefly in the third quarter, but he was noticeably hobbling down the field after running back Fozzy Whittaker during his 26-yard touchdown reception. And it didn’t appear as though Galette played again after that.

Lewis also did not appear to return after heading into the locker room in the third quarter, but if it was indeed just a cramping issue, he should be back for next Monday night’s game against the Chicago Bears.

Pryor back in the lineup: Playing for the future, even though he probably doesn't have one with the Jets, Ryan started No. 1 pick Calvin Pryor at safety, benching longtime starter Dawan Landry. It was a passing-the-torch moment. Landry ended up playing a little in the second half, but this was a clear youth-movement decision. Pryor, who lost his starting job four weeks ago after showing up late for multiple meetings, worked his way back after three games in rookie "timeout." Ryan used rotations at all four positions in the secondary, giving it a preseason feel. There was one major breakdown: Darrin Walls surrendered a 56-yard touchdown pass to Charles Johnson, who had a huge day.

Quarterback Tony Romo (back), linebacker Rolando McClain (knee) and defensive end George Selvie (thumb) are also probable

Dec 11 -- Quarterback Tony Romo was a full participant in his return to practice on Thursday after sitting out the previous day as was cornerback Tyler Patmon, who was limited on Wednesday with knee and ankle injuries. Safety Jeff Heath (thumb), defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (rib), linebacker Rolando McClain (knee) and defensive end George Selvie (thumb) also took part in full practices.

He didn’t fare as well against the run as he was sealed a couple times, but still a positive showing overall from the rookie. ~ PFF

The Ravens aren't sure whether cornerback Asa Jackson is out for the season, which would be another blow to the depleted position. Jackson hurt his right knee midway through the third quarter after great coverage on third down. "I don't have a final word on Asa," coach John Harbaugh said. The Baltimore Sun reports that Jackson suffered damage to his posterior cruciate ligament. Without Jackson, Rashaan Melvin played with the first team in his first NFL game. The Ravens already have four corners on injured reserve. Harbaugh did announce that rookie safety Terrence Brooks (knee) is out for the season.

Steven Johnson will likely play the middle linebacker spot in the base defense and Todd Davis, who the Broncos claimed off waivers from the New Orleans Saints last month, would play in the weak-side spot in the base defense.After Marshall and Trevathan left the game Sunday, it was Davis who stayed in the lineup as an every-down linebacker, playing in all of the personnel groupings to close out the game. The Broncos spent most of the remainder of the game, after Trevathan's injury, in their specialty packages as the Chargers were in a pass-first mode.

When the Broncos were in some of their six defensive back looks, Davis was the only linebacker in the formation.

The 49ers have played most of the season without All-Pro starters Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman. Another inside linebacker, Michael Wilhoite, left Sunday’s game but returned after missing one play.

During Wilhoite’s absence, the 49ers were forced to turn to their seldom-used “penny” defense, which featured Nick Moody as the lone inside linebacker. Moody and Wilhoite likely will start Saturday against San Diego with Bishop as the backup.

[The Admiral]

Is browns' Robertson expected to still maintain a 100% role when/if Dansby comes back?

 

[peyton41]

I'm interested to see Rolando McClain, David Hawthorne, and Will Compton

 

[The Claymaker]

Compton will be very good start as long as Keenan is out, he played 100% of the snaps.

 

[peyton41]

Agreed. Any word on Keenan Robinson's availability for the upcoming two weeks? I'm seeing that he will be updated later this week.

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

I'm interested to see Rolando McClain, David Hawthorne, and Will Compton

Mcclain was 73% of only 55 and hawthorne was 87% of 60

I'll fill the rest of the teams in between 6 and 10 tonight if anybody gives a crap
