Wilfork saw a significant increase in snaps for the second straight season last year. In 2009, Wilfork only saw the field on 63.1% of the team’s defensive snaps. This number shot up to 71.3% in 2010, followed by a huge jump last season to 91.5%.
These number do not appear to be sustainable if we want Vince last a few more years - he has been amzingly resilient so far.
The question is, does this seasons apparent increase in defensive line depth help to lessen the load on Mr Wilfork?
With Belichick finally deciding that a nickel based base formation is the way to go, along with the commitment to more speed and dynamism - do we have the guys on the roster to give Big Vince a breather?
Personally, i'm hoping that Pryor can stay healthy and Fanene can show us something.
