Andre Holmes | 26% |
Andre Holmes was signed after Emmanuel Sanders tore his Achilles’ tendon. Holmes appeared in 26% of the offensive snaps and was not targeted by Case Keenum. That makes it really easy for defenders since you can almost forget about him in coverage. That was 19 ostensibly wasted offensive snaps, because Holmes can’t really even act as a decoy. DaeSean Hamilton played AND was targeted this week. His 97% offensive snaps were a career high. Courtland Sutton’s injury forced Holmes to play and forced Hamilton to play almost every offensive snap. Royce Freeman only got 12% of the offensive snaps and Andy Janovich’s snaps were way down relative to the last two games. Brian Parker played a career high 20% of the offensive snaps and we did not use 6 offensive lineman on any play against the 49ers.

There were some really interesting things to note on the defense. Todd Davis hardly came off the field (96%), while Bradley Roby, Darian Stewart and Justin Simmons played every defensive snap. Shane Ray again played a very significant percentage of the defensive snaps with little in the way of stats to show for it (43%) — one solo tackle. Shelby Harris only played 35% and yet stuffed the stat sheet — 2 passes defended, 4 total tackles (3 solo), 1 tackle for loss. Su’a Cravens only played 22% of the defensive snaps and Joseph Jones was only on the field for one defensive snap after playing in one out of three the previous week. Dymonte Thomas was used on 8% of the defensive snaps meaning that he might have been playing the hybrid S/LB role Cravens was supposed to play this season — since Simmons and Stewart played every defensive snap. Despite being on the team less than a week, Jamar Taylor played 10% of the defensive snaps (7 snaps) while Brendan Langley was active for the third-straight game and got zero defensive snaps again. Isaac Yiadom played fairly well (the DPI on him was BS) against some underwhelming WR talent on the 49ers in his 79% of the defensive snaps.
