Raiders snap count: Sean Smith the odd man out

Share

LANDOVER, Md. – The Raiderss cornerback corps was completely healthy for the first time all season. That meant there would be an odd man out of the typical three cornerback rotation.

TJ Carrie started and played every snap in a 27-10 loss to the Washington football club on Sunday night at FedEx Field. David Amerson missed only two plays. Rookie Gareon Conley was a featured member of this group, entering in sub packages.

Sean Smith, by contrast barely played at all. Healthy again after missing last week’s game with a neck injury, Smith took three defensive snaps early in the game and never saw the field again.

He was charged with covering tight ends and struggled to blanket veteran Vernon Davis, allowing two catches for 44 yards and a touchdown in as many targets.

He didn’t play much after that touchdown pass. Antonio Hamilton was a fourth cornerback later in the game.

Snaps for Nicholas Morrow continue to rise. The undrafted rookie played 42 snaps from the middle linebacker spot in the sub packages.

Mario Edwards Jr.’s hot start continued and brought an increased workload. He played solid run defense and had two quarterback hits.

Here’s a look at the snap count for the entire Raiders team.
