Packers Week 10 Snap Counts vs. Eagles: Bo Melton is a WR

[ad_1] One other week, one other low-scoring effort from the Inexperienced Bay Packers’ offense. It seems like Groundhog Day round right here, and issues are beginning to remind me of the tip of the Mike McCarthy period. However earlier than we get all of our complaints in in regards to the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, let’s verify in on the Packers’ snap counts from the sport — together with a defender who's now clearly a primarily offensive participant for Inexperienced Bay.

Right here’s the primary huge one this week. Cornerback Bo Melton was the WR4 on this recreation over each Malik Heath and Savion Williams. Final week, Williams took over as the first slot receiver when Matthew Golden went down. Even with Golden on this one, the group went out of its approach to guarantee that Williams wasn’t on the sector a lot on offense. Beforehand, Melton had solely performed seven snaps of offense all yr.

Although Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick break up time as TE2s behind Tucker Kraft, it’s clear that the group needs to subject Musgrave as their 11-personnel tight finish post-Kraft’s damage. Musgrave had three receptions for 23 yards in his debut because the group’s starter this season.

Elgton Jenkins went down with an ankle damage, resulting in Sean Rhyan changing the middle earlier than halftime. Darian Kinnard received a few snaps as a good finish on this recreation, however neither Kinnard or Anthony Belton performed on the offensive line towards the Eagles.

The Barryn Sorrell snaps preserve tanking. In the meanwhile, Arron Mosby, extra of a particular groups contributor than an precise defender, is having extra of an affect than the rookie. Mosby hasn’t performed a down of protection but this yr, however there’s an opportunity that he’s lively on the 48-man gameday roster when Lukas Van Ness returns. This week, Mosby led the group in particular groups snaps. If Mosby and Van Ness are lively, assuming there aren't any different accidents, that seemingly implies that Sorrell will revert to being a wholesome scratch.

Warren Brinson out-snapped Nazir Stackhouse within the first recreation that the Packers have had 5 defensive tackles lively for this season. Inexperienced Bay constantly has Stackhouse lively on gamedays and Brinson inactive, however one damage forces Stackhouse into enjoying greater than the handful of snaps that Inexperienced Bay needs to restrict him to — forcing the road to wear down shortly. The transfer to maintain 5 lively is sensible, contemplating how a lot the Eagles wished to run the ball.

Kamal Hadden! Indicators of life! Hadden has been lively for many of this season, however is normally simply sporting a jersey on the sideline as an emergency cornerback. This week, he truly performed some particular groups, after being benched within the kicking recreation earlier within the yr. Aspect word: The Packers are extraordinarily skinny at cornerback, contemplating they solely have 4 gamers on the place and one in every of them (Bo Melton) is definitely enjoying receiver.

I will need to have missed it, however Zayne Anderson and Kitan Oladapo received their first defensive snaps within the season on this recreation. I’m guessing it was some finish of half or lengthy down and distance state of affairs. I’ll allow you to guys know once I submit the depth chart replace later this week.
