00:00You notice Jalen Hawkins' snap counts decreasing with each passing game.
00:06No pun intended, of course.
00:07What's the reason, explanation for that?
00:11Who was a semi-big-ticket free agent acquisition in the offseason?
00:16Bob, I think a lot of that was in this game.
00:23Because Wiggins played 100%.
00:26Starks played 97%, Hamilton, Matabike, Hawkins, yeah, he played 59%.
00:33But I think Buchanan played 30%, Bob.
00:39So, I mean, Buchanan played 19 snaps, Simpson 36%, and Roquan 100%.
00:46So, they had three linebackers.
00:50And when they put in three linebackers, Bob, guess who was coming out?
00:54Hawkins.
00:54Yeah.
00:55You know, so I think that was part of the plan.
00:59And then, because what they got to do then is play either single high or put Hamilton back.
01:07So, and then they used Malachi a lot in the run.
01:11That's why he's the leading tackler, because they had him fill in a bunch.
01:16So, we'll see this week, Bob, because Cleveland can't run it at all.
01:21So, we'll see what Hawkins' numbers are.
01:25Do they, they probably, they don't need three linebackers playing in this one.
