Thought last week was interesting as it seemed as though the Pats were using a lot of different formations on the field.. Mike Reiss has a very interesting breakdown on # of snaps played.. it was effective.. why?
1. Road trip keeping guys fresh??
2. Keeping SF off balance, young qb??
3. Keeping future opponents off base, a lot of players and different combos were used??
4. In this meritocracy some players deserved more snaps??
Cannot caption all of this article, but here are a few from the middle.. looks as though the D line was getting plenty of rest or whatever.. no matter why it was effective..
