Obviously it's the case his snaps were always gonna decrease as the room filled out, but 17 perfectly healthy snaps is really really really low. For reference as a rookie, his low was 30. 17 is practically half the low of his rookie year.
And all that being said this was the game he got a sack lol
The raw snaps doesn't really matter, because it has no context. % of snaps is better, which he was at 32%. He was at 40% prior two weeks.
What I would guess is that he's not going to play a ton in run-heavy gameplans, which showed up yesterday and against Carolina. And I certainly think he's more effective as a situational rusher, i.e. playing closer to like 50-60%, which is what he was doing in the middle of the season.
But does seem like they favor Houston and Bowser (who's been playing great). Even JPP, who made a couple solid plays yesterday, didn't play a lot more than Oweh.
I don't think anybody would deny that Oweh isn't being outplayed by players on this roster currently, because he is. Just that he's not a total failure like some people think he is.
One other notable from the snap count list is that they clearly view Hamilton as the SCB, and don't plan on playing Stephens much in that role at all. ArDarius Washington got 8 snaps on defense. Stephens got 1. Pepe didn't get any. They clearly didn't play much Nickel or Dime yesterday because of the opponent, but there doesn't appear to be a lot of faith in these young Corners at the moment.
