I just want to see the snap breakdown vs fan recollection. We as fans may over emphasis or think "its every time" when in reality maybe it was 30% of his snaps. I bolded the majority part bc we dont really know the numbers. I think its safe to say Sweat was doing more than we would like in the first half and perhaps the second half but I want to see the actual numbers and numbers for other teams as well to compare.

In his senior season, [Montez Sweat] had 14 snaps as an OLB and 347 as a DE.

With the Redskins this year he has 296 snaps as an OLB and 300 snaps as a DE.

So it seems Sweat was dropping into coverage about 50% of the time with little to no experience doing so.
