Seahawks Player's Snap Count

Interesting link I came across. What prompted me to search this was I read somewhere Tre Brown had been healthy for a few games, but because the play of Josh Jobe that he has retained the starting role over Tre Brown. To be honest I have never heard of Josh Jobe, and where did he come from? He had been a practice squad call up for a few weeks in a row, but after Dodson got released he officially signed with our team, and now is our starter. It's quite a journey for this young man. I am not sure what his PFF grade is, but it's not often a undrafted player gets waived, and then signs to a practice squad and when the opportunity arrives he is now the starter. I wouldn't say he is setting the world on fire, but good job to this young man for working his way into the starting lineup.

Interesting site, but I wonder why they don't track offensive line snap counts? Seems odd. They must have something against big uglies.

FYI Josh Jobe PFF rating for 2024 is 77.8 on run defense, which is very good, 3rd best on our club next to Devon Witherspoon at 89.6 and Julian Love at 81.7. But where he suffers at is in pass coverage, managing just a 46.9 grade, dragging his overall down to 50.0, not good. But it's a pretty small sample size. And for reference, Trey Brown's rating in pass coverage isn't much better at 50.1. Julian Love has the highest coverage rating for a Hawk DB at 71.6 followed by Coby Bryant at 67.2 and Devon Witherspoon at 66.4.

Our DB run defense looks pretty darn good, with 'Spoon leading the way at 89.6

BTW, if anyone else has a question about a PFF grade or ranking, give me a holler.

DBs shouldn't even be heavily involved in run defense. It takes away from their focus on pass coverage. I hate that when we have DBs other than the strong safety too focused on run defense. Shows your weak at LB or D-line.

There are designed plays where DBs are heavily involved in the run game. Some of the greatest DBs in our modern day era were excellent run tacklers. So I don't agree that our DBs focused on the run game is a direct link to our ILBS and DL being weak. I agree our DL and ILB has been playing like crap and inconsistent, but after the bye the last two games have been an indication of how much we have improved our run game defense, and it revolves heavily around EJ4 and Knight working the middle. Sprinkle in the speed of Spoon. These were against two good running teams, the 49ers and the Cards. It's way too soon to say we have fixed our defense, but if we can keep shutting the run down and keep the pass rush up, it should gives us a good chance to keep winning.

The ratings don't reflect how much a defense is dependent on their DB's for run support. A cornerback gets an opportunity to make a tackle, and he gets a grade for that play. Add up the grades he received a rating on then divided by the number of plays to arrive at an average. I'm sure that they factor in how many run opportunities they have vs. coverage to arrive at an overall grade, but I don't how much they weight running plays vs. passing in their overall grade.

It would have been interesting to see what kind of running defense grade Deion Sanders would have received had PFF been around in his day. For all the hype and attention, he was horrible at run support, ran and hid when a running play came to his side.
