The offensive snap counts for the season so far. Each week I will update this chart with the game-by-game breakdown as well as information on how many players from each position play. The numbers next to each position is how many of that position played per snap. Green is a starter, yellow is a practice squad elevation, red is inactive, and blue shows they weren't on the 53-man roster.
Quarterback - It was a nice game from Watson. Not like week two where he dominated, but it was a chance for him to be a reason why they were back producing.
Running Back/Fullback - For back to back weeks the running game has been improving. It feels like they have finally got it sorted as a coaching staff and able to move the ball semi consistently. Both backs have previously shown they can produce in the receiving game, but for the first time they appear to be able to be doing it on the ground too.
Wide Receiver - A breakout game from KC Concepcion, even a drop for a touchdown wasn't enough to ruin his day. While he has had plenty of flashes, this was a chance for him to takeover a game. A rough game from Boston but he had a better second half.
Tight End - I don't blame Fannin for the turnover, he never got a chance to get control of the ball. It could have easily gone the other way depending how the refs called it on the field. There was also a couple of flashes of good run blocking, especially on the touchdown. I'm not ready to say he's cracked it yet but a positive step forward.
Offensive Line - Zion Johnson had a rough game with several penalties but other than that the team did a really good job. There are going to be some rough patches here and there but overall they continue to improve overall. Jones got lucky, the refs missed a false start which could have cost them the win.
The defensive snap counts for the season so far.
Edge Defender - A rough game for the edge room, penalties for both Verse and Barnett. They weren't getting the pressure we have seen over the last few weeks, but they are sure to bounce back. Ward got the ball out quick which was going to limit their impact.
Defensive Tackle - Extra defensive tackle help, this is most likely due to the goal line stands.
Linebacker - We saw six extra snaps with extra linebackers, there is a good chance this was the goal line stand but I will need to rewatch.
Cornerback - Denzel Ward continues to be a top cornerback in the NFL and impresses week in week out. Having Campbell gives them a really good tandem and Harden has been playing better recently.
Safety - The Browns played less safeties this week, likely to focus on dealing with the run threat more. After an up and down start, Hickman has had a good couple of weeks and improving.
