St. Louis Rams-Chicago Bears Snap Counts, Playing Time And Personnel Analysis

It wasn't pretty, both on the field and in the box score. But with some injuries pushing things around, how did the Rams adjust the personnel yesterday?

Case Keenum QB 5 7.94%

LT Greg Robinson is now the only member of the 2015 St. Louis Rams to have played every offensive snap.

WRs Brian Quick and Bradley Marquez took the lion's share of the time vacated from suspended WR Stedman Bailey, but it was also schematic. RB Just Todd Gurley played his lowest rate, the only play rate under 50%, since taking over the starting role in Week 4. FB/TE/human plow Cory Harkey played his second-lowest percentage of 2015.

And it was the first offensive action of the seaosn for Welker, Wichmann and Keenum.

Defense

T.J. McDonald SS 65 100.00%
Mark Barron SS 65 100.00%
James Laurinaitis LB 65 100.00%
Rodney McLeod FS 64 98.46%
Janoris Jenkins CB 64 98.46%
Trumaine Johnson CB 64 98.46%
Aaron Donald DT 52 80.00%
Eugene Sims DE 51 78.46%
Akeem Ayers LB 42 64.62%
Nick Fairley DT 40 61.54%
Michael Brockers DT 37 56.92%
William Hayes DE 37 56.92%
Ethan Westbrooks DT 29 44.62%
Lamarcus Joyner CB 23 35.38%
Robert Quinn DE 14 21.54%
Maurice Alexander SS 2 3.08%
Daren Bates LB 1 1.54%

That's two weeks in a row for CB Lamarcus Joyner coming in under 40%. Meanwhile, it's two weeks in a row (and the only two weeks this season) for LB Akeem Ayers over 60%.

Nick Fairley hadn't played more than half of the Rams' defensive snaps in a single game this season until yesterday.

And a huge swing for Mo Alexander. After playing every snap a week ago, he went back down to his spot/injury fill-in role.
