Offensive & Defensive snaps for 2010
 
Reiss has this on his blog. I think there are some very interesting numbers here:

Quote:
QB Tom Brady -- 962 of 1,012 (95.1 percent)
TE Rob Gronkowski -- 756 of 1,012 (74.7 percent)
WR Wes Welker -- 715 of 1,012 (70.7 percent)
TE Alge Crumpler -- 540 of 1,012 (53.4 percent)
WR Deion Branch -- 521 of 1,012 (51.5 percent)
WR Brandon Tate -- 502 of 1,012 (49.6 percent)
TE Aaron Hernandez -- 486 of 1,012 (48.0 percent)
RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis -- 423 of 1,012 (41.8 percent)
RB Danny Woodhead -- 394 of 1,012 (38.9 percent)
WR Randy Moss -- 204 of 1,012 (20.2 percent)
WR Julian Edelman -- 174 of 1,012 (17.2 percent)
FB/RB Sammy Morris -- 123 of 1,012 (12.3 percent)
RB Fred Taylor -- 68 of 1,012 (6.7 percent)
RB Kevin Faulk -- 51 of 1,012 (5.0 percent)
QB Brian Hoyer -- 50 of 1,012 (4.9 percent)
FB Dan Connolly -- 30 of 1,012 (3.0 percent)
WR Taylor Price -- 26 of 1,012 (2.6 percent)
WR Matthew Slater - 25 of 1,012 (2.5 percent)
TE Quinn Ojinnaka -- 4 of 1,012 (.4 percent)
TE Mark LeVoir -- 1 of 1,012 (.1 percent)

(Snaps include some penalties, but no kneel-downs.)

Thanks to Mike Reiss for charting this all season, and people should give the man his due and click on the link to read his analysis.

Reiss has been great for this all year long. Kudos to him for the effort!

Gronk having that many snaps makes sense from a strategy standpoint (with Alge being mostly a blocker and Aaron being mostly a receiver, Gronk is the only TE who would fit both roles equally well), it's still surprising that he was able to make that kind of contribution as a rookie. Way to go Gronk!

Re: Offensive snaps for 2010
 
I've had to eat crow in many threads here, so I'm going to pat myself on the back for calling for multiple TE sets and less spread/gun since long before we even drafted our TE studs.

Re: Offensive snaps for 2010
 
I think those numbers tell us a lot about the offense. I look particularly at:

1.) Gronk being behind only Brady in snaps taken

2.) Branch overtaking Tate despite coming late to the party

3.) Woodhead not being far behind BJGE despite coming to the team late

Re: Offensive snaps for 2010
 
As I pointed out in the Woodhead thread, Woodhead had almost as many snaps as BJGE despite missing the first two games and most of the last. When he's played, Woodhead actually is on the field more than BJGE.

Which makes BJGE's 1000 yards even more impressive :)

Faulk and Woodhead combined are a little behind BJGE and Taylor combined, but just a little. 48% vs. 44% That's why I assert the Faulk/Woodhead role is about as important as the traditional RB role, and hence why I think there's roster room for both Faulk and Woodhead in it.

Branch and Moss combined are very near Welker, around 70% each.

I'd say the default set is:

  • Brady
  • Gronkowski
  • Welker
  • Branch
  • Hernandez (when healthy)
  • Whichever of BJGE or Woodhead makes more sense.

But as we know, there's huge variation around that.

I would say that the 2nd TE is whichever of Crumpler and Hernandez that makes more sense.

Also, I was interested to see that Tate was in on almost 50% of the defensive reps.

Re: Offensive snaps for 2010
 
If you told me back on Labor Day that Faulk, Morris, Taylor and Maroney would get on the field for less than 1/4 of the Pats' offensive plays this year and then asked me to bet an over/under on 13.5 wins this year, I would have taken the under regardless of the odds.


I wonder if Mark LeVoir gets a bonus for actually getting on the field this year?

Reiss now has the defensive snaps, and his analysis in the link below:

ILB Brandon Spikes -- 349 of 1,101 (31.7 percent)

DL Myron Pryor -- 237 of 1,101 (21.5 percent)
DL Brandon Deaderick -- 220 of 1,101 (20.0 percent)
CB Jonathan Wilhite-- 204 of 1,101 (18.5 percent)
S Jarrad Page -- 186 of 1,101 (16.9 percent)
OLB/DE Eric Moore -- 183 of 1,101 (16.6 percent)
LB Dane Fletcher -- 153 of 1,101 (13.9 percent)
DL Kyle Love -- 151 of 1,101 (13.7 percent)
OLB/DE Shawn Crable -- 124 of 1,101 (11.3 percent)
S Sergio Brown -- 86 of 1,101 (7.8 percent)
DL Landon Cohen -- 69 of 1,101 (6.3 percent)
CB Tony Carter -- 12 of 1,101 (1.1 percent)
LB/DE Pierre Woods -- 11 of 1,101 (1.0 percent)
OLB/DE Marques Murrell -- 7 of 1,101 (.6 percent)
S Aaron Hernandez -- 2 of 1,101 (.2 percent)
LB Tracy White -- 2 of 1,101 (.2 percent)
S Randy Moss -- 1 of 1,101 (.1 percent)
Based on who got the most snaps, I guess the Pats base defense is now a 1-5-5 rather than a 3-4. Of the six players on the field most often, they were all DBs with the exception of Jerod Mayo.
