3. Defensive Line shuffling

After his dominant debut, we thought for sure that we would see more Dominique Robinson. That did not happen, though as he went from 28 snaps, and a 41% share down to 21 snaps, and a 31% share. That is a bit surprising but may have to do with how the Green Bay Packers lined up in heavier sets.

Robert Quinn took on a bit more work as well, adding three more snaps at a 4% share. One of the other big differences was the team running more sets with three interior linemen and one edge rusher.

Trevis Gipson, Al-Quadin Muhammad, and Robinson all played less than the week prior. On the flip side, Mike Pennel and Armon Watts played more, as did linebacker Mike Adams.

Armon Watts was up from a 31% snap share to 38%, which is a nice increase, but we could expect to see more, especially after his first performance was so strong. Still, the team actually gave Angelo Blackson a bump in playing time, as he had a great first quarter. Justin Jones played the normal snap rate he did in week one.
