Another game, another set of sweet, juicy snap counts. Let’s dive in.
Offense
The in-house leaders for snaps include multiple reserve offensive linemen, with Sean Harlow leading the way with 63, followed by Cornelius Edison and Daniel Brunskill at 60 and then Kevin Graf at 50. Edison, Harlow, and Brunskill were also the offensive snap leaders last week, so the team is being consistent as far as which offensive linemen it wants to see on the field during preseason.
Unsurprisingly to those who watched the game, Matt Simms took far more snaps than any other quarterback. Notably, the Falcons had fullbacks on the field for very few snaps. Derrick Coleman only played seven offensive snaps, while Tyler Renew only was on the field for two snaps.

Defense
Another week with J’Terius Jones taking the most snaps on defense. It appears that the team wants to give him an extended look. Vellano, Branch, Odom, and Tupou all spend another week toward the very top of the playing list. Kemal Ishmael received a very long look at linebacker, even playing with the deep reserves at the very end of the game. For some reason, the team is limiting Brian Poole’s snaps as much as any defender on the roster. This is the second week in a row in which Poole only lined up for two defensive snaps.

Special Teams
It was a forgettable day for the punt team, so appearing on the field a lot on special teams wasn’t exactly a badge of honor on Sunday. In addition to the fact that they played double-digit special teams snaps, Terron Ward and Nick Williams were featured in key roles and on the starting units, with Nick fielding punts (even after the hit that many assumed would take him out of the game) and also calling out assignments to the big linemen on the starting kickoff return team.
