Porter is not taking Manley's snaps; STM and Bonner did. Now both are out.
Against UW we ran a lot more base 3-4 sets (instead of nickel) because we expected them to run the ball more, which they generally did. Hence DWP seeing his most extended time of the season. Kelly-Antoine-Williamson-STM played practically every snap in the secondary, and McGill was the nickel all game (played roughly half the snaps) due to his relative strength in run support. (Clearly a weak link in coverage though, which was exploited a couple times.) So there was no "room" for Manley. Plus I believe staff liked STM more against the run anyways. He likes hitting. I'm excited about him moving forward.
Noah Williams had a defensive series at FS in relief of Antoine and I'm not sure why. Antoine came back in afterwards.
