Anthony Hitchens
 

The games where Anthony Hitchens plays the least, the Chiefs defense dominates. The games he plays the most, the Chiefs defense plays by far the worst. Just look at the snap counts:

The Chiefs have let up 24 or more points in 8 of the 17 games they've played this year. In those 8 games Anthony Hitchens played an average of 77% of the snaps. In the other games he averaged 31% of the snaps and the Chiefs let up an avg of 7.8 points a game.

Should he play more or less?

More. Can't have enough Hitchens, Sorenson or Niemann. Need more Drob on offense too.

No way. Having better numbers when the older, slower, tackle missing linebacker plays less than the younger, faster, more physical linebackers in Gay and Bolton is a stupid notion.

Next youll try to say that The Titanic would have gone further toward its destination if it hadn't hit the iceberg.

How come Spags does not agree then?

All about that old slow guy knowledge baby!

Meh. Beating a dead horse. He's been fine lately. We all know he's got one foot out the door as the Chiefs are grooming Gay and Bolton to lead this LB group for years to come.

Well beat that dead horse into not playing more than 20% of the snaps vs the Bills. Save Spags from himself. He loves the guy.

Is this today’s thread bitching about Gay’s playing time?

The dude played just fine against the Steelers and has been fine in the playoffs in the past.

Don't you have anything better to do?

I'm no big fan of Anthony Hitchens, but those are junk statistics. Correlation ≠ causation

No, this thread is about Hitchens.
