Noticed this when looking at snap counts

[Temo]

Smith, Fredrick, Leary, and Martin all played 100% of offensive snaps, but Doug Free missed 4 snaps. I don't remember him being injured, and the only other active offensive linemen (Looney and Cleary) only saw ST snaps and had 0 offensive snaps.

Did Swaim or Witten fill in at tackle for Free on those plays? I could see either potentially being a better run blocker than Free, though not a better pass blocker. Maybe we ran Swaim out there as a tackle on some run plays and sat Free? Does anyone know anything about this?

Also, I noticed that Lawrence only played 17 snaps out of 70. I was convinced he was out there more because I thought I remembered him getting pressure multiple times, but apparently they were pretty conservative in bringing him back.

Also:

- it seems like we were in the Nickle defense on 83% of snaps during the game (using Anthony Brown's snap count, as he only comes in on Nickle), and in Dime in at most 50% of snaps (using Wilcox as he's the 6th and last DB to see playing time... though he might also be in on some goal line sets, so it's hard to know exactly using snap counts only).

- JJ Wilcox had 3 snaps on offense. I don't remember seeing him out there. Anyone know about this?

Wilcox probably was in for the Victory Formation.

Oh, well duh. That explains that.

maybe they are counting the "Punts" as offensive snaps

Only 17? It sure seemed like more. Imagine what he could be like when he get in game shape.

Most likely, extra points. Most of the offensive linemen stay out there to block, but I have not noticed if Free isn't part of those formations.
