Note: I’ll update the snap counts in this spreadsheet all season including the first tab tracking the season totals. While I’ll paste individual game PT in each week’s recap, I’ll likely refer to the season totals moving forward from that link. So uh, peep it.
Offense
| Player | POS | Off | Off% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rodger Saffold | T | 59 | 100.00% |
| Rob Havenstein | T | 59 | 100.00% |
| Cody Wichmann | G | 59 | 100.00% |
| Greg Robinson | T | 59 | 100.00% |
| Case Keenum | QB | 59 | 100.00% |
| Tim Barnes | C | 59 | 100.00% |
| Lance Kendricks | TE | 56 | 94.92% |
| Todd Gurley | RB | 51 | 86.44% |
| Tavon Austin | WR | 47 | 79.66% |
| Kenny Britt | WR | 46 | 77.97% |
| Brian Quick | WR | 33 | 55.93% |
| Tyler Higbee | TE | 18 | 30.51% |
| Bradley Marquez | WR | 14 | 23.73% |
| Mike Thomas | WR | 11 | 18.64% |
| Cory Harkey | TE | 10 | 16.95% |
| Benny Cunningham | RB | 5 | 8.47% |
| Malcolm Brown | RB | 2 | 3.39% |
| Andrew Donnal | T | 2 | 3.39% |
RB Todd Gurley continues to see his work rate rise:
| Week | Plays | % | Carries | Carries per Play |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 37 | 60.66% | 17 | 0.46 |
| 2 | 44 | 70.97% | 19 | 0.43 |
| 3 | 52 | 80.00% | 27 | 0.52 |
| 4 | 51 | 86.44% | 19 | 0.37 |
Given the lack of production, I’m interested to see if the Rams keep him ≥80% to try and force him out of the slump.
TE Tyler Higbee has yet to drop below a 30% floor, but hasn’t been targeted once since Week 1. Same camp for WR Bradley Marquez; he hasn’t dropped below 10% of snaps hitting a season high in Week 4, but has only been targeted twice in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game.
Defense
| Player | POS | Def | Def% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trumaine Johnson | CB | 77 | 100.00% |
| Maurice Alexander | SS | 77 | 100.00% |
| Mark Barron | LB | 77 | 100.00% |
| Alec Ogletree | LB | 77 | 100.00% |
| T.J. McDonald | SS | 72 | 93.51% |
| Aaron Donald | DT | 61 | 79.22% |
| Lamarcus Joyner | CB | 60 | 77.92% |
| E.J. Gaines | CB | 53 | 68.83% |
| Eugene Sims | DE | 49 | 63.64% |
| Ethan Westbrooks | DT | 43 | 55.84% |
| Matt Longacre | DE | 43 | 55.84% |
| Robert Quinn | DE | 39 | 50.65% |
| Troy Hill | CB | 29 | 37.66% |
| Cody Davis | FS | 25 | 32.47% |
| Michael Brockers | DT | 24 | 31.17% |
| Cam Thomas | DT | 19 | 24.68% |
| Dominique Easley | DT | 16 | 20.78% |
| Josh Forrest | LB | 6 | 7.79% |
The big story from the playing time on Sunday was the comeback of CB E.J. Gaines. Not only did he feature in his first regular season action since Week 16 of the 2014 season, he came in and immediately topped 2/3rds of the defensive snaps (and played pretty damn well, to boot).
And shout out to DE Matt Longacre for coming in with DEs William Hayes and Robert Quinn sidelined.
