Xavier McKinney - did anyone see him get into the game?

RiffRaff : 11/30/2020 3:01 pm

I was able to watch the game yesterday, but I don't recall seeing Xavier McKinney play. I understand that he was active for the game, but I didn't see him. Did anyone see him get any snaps?

If he did get into the game, how'd he do?

5 D Snaps

They Are Easing Him In

Since I think he'll be mostly playing the Free Safety position, that is the "last line of defense". I'd guess without any preseason games and limited practices, easing him in is the only real way to get him snaps.

His snap count should go up week to week.

Ryan is intent on being a Pro Bowl free safety so it will be

Interesting to see how they work McKinney in to the lineup. A lot of 3 safety looks probably, but who plays the deep safety? 3-3-5

I'm interested in his use against AZ

Is it possible we could see both Peppers and McKinney in the box or slot?

I saw..

him on one play in the pile of a tackle, but that was the only time I noticed him.

Looks like he only had a handful of snaps

at one point the announcers pointed out that

I just curious. Glad to hear that they are easing him in. Getting him some experience. With Ryan and Peppers playing well, no need to rush him in. If anything, he might take snaps away from Love, but probably not a lot. Cool.
