Feel the same.
Pettine either thinks Blake is really good or doesn't trust other players to fill in for him.....Martinez played 73 snaps yesterday (100%). You can't tell me there wasn't a situation where playing I. Campbell(42 snaps) or Josh Jackson( 0 snaps) or giving Blake a rest wasn't warranted. Apparently Oren Burks isn't and option.
Oren Burks got 4 snaps on defense(16 on ST). Is he approaching bust territory ?
Jackson wasn't even active.
Yeah heard that a few days back- Jackson being a bust is another conversation.
Point remains, while we see Blake chasing in coverage, Pettine still keeps him in there for the majority of the snaps(100% against Carolina) . Nobody else ? Pettine showing lack of creativity ? Or does Pettine over-value him?
Well look at the depth chart at ILB. Who else is he going to play at that position?
Burks isn't there. 93 can run even less than Martinez. They don't have a ton of options so you play what you got.
