The Eagles say they told him he will have a reduced role.
Based on his playing time last year, and our depth chart this year, here is my proposed playing time targets this year.
Here wasthe actual snap counts for the DL for game 1 and the Chicago playoff game to get a fell for what we did before injuries and in crunch time:
Player............Gm 1..(%).........CHI (%)
Cox................65 (93).............32 (71)
Graham..........46 (66).............35 (78)
Bennett..........45 (64).............41 (91)
Barnett..........40 (57)................I/R
Long..............39 (56).............34 (76)
Vaeao............27 (39)..............CUT
Ngata.............17 (24).............14 (31)
Hector.............7 (10)..............DNP
Hester.............DNP..................12 (27)
Jernigan...........INJ...................9 (20)
Hall.................DNP..................3 (7)
The average number of total snaps a game is approx 70. So for 4 spots, that gives 280 snaps to divvy up.
Using the depth chart and my perception of talent of this group, and a desire to keep Long on this team, here's my target snap count:
Cox 53 (76%)
Graham 45 (64%)
Barnett 42 (60%)
Jackson 42 (60%)
Jernigan 30 (43%)
Long 27 (39%)
Curry 26 (37%)
Hester 15 (21%)
He played as much as he did the last two years because of injuries to others. Offering him a target of almost 40% of the snaps is appropriate and fair IMO. If injuries happen again, then he can step it up and play more and we're in good hands.
Sweat, Miller and Ridgeway are my healthy scratches on game days.
Anyone?
