Craig Robertson had his most snaps on defense last week. Interesting since we had our best game as well.

He doesn’t start because Teo, Klein, and Davis are better run stoppers than he is. He doesn’t get more playing time because he can’t cover tight ends or running backs so he isn’t a sub LB. I’m not knocking him because I really him. But that’s why he isn’t starting. Anzalone is still learning but he’s physically one of our best LBs. That’s why he’s getting so many opportunities.

I don’t get that argument when he has 9 career INTs and 24 PD, when no other linebacker on the team comes anywhere near close to that. That’s better than a lot of DBs career numbers. This might be his first year that he doesn’t have an INT cause he’s not playing enough. And he’s 2nd on the team in career tackles & solos to Davis. He is second on the team in career sacks as well with 7. Stats don’t lie. He can’t help it if the team is not good in 2016. He lead the team in snaps & tackles for two years and now gets outsnapped by a 2nd year guy that has done a lot more to get benched than he ever has IMO.

Don’t get me wrong I like Anzalone and want to see him succeed. I just don’t think he deserves to have 123 snaps to Robertson’s 33 after the last two season Robertson has had. I wouldn’t be shocked if he leaves and shows that he should be starting still elsewhere. I just think he deserves to be at least close to Anzalone in snaps. I also think he should be starting cause right now he’s a better player as well.
