The Washington Redskins played 77 snaps on defense in Sunday’s 44-16 loss to the Carolina Panthers, the second-most they’ve had to play all season.
One thing that stood out was how the personnel changed in the secondary. Last week, cornerback DeAngelo Hall returned to the lineup and played 17 snaps at strong safety against New Orleans. He rotated with Jeron Johnson, who took over as the starter for Trenton Robinson.
However against Carolina, Hall only played six snaps. Earlier last week, Gruden was asked about Hall’s transition to safety.
“It’s a transition I think he can make,” Gruden said.
