According to the NFL’s official player participation information, here’s how the Tennessee Titans lined up in yesterday’s 19-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars:
Offense (70 total)
QB: Marcus Mariota 70
RB/FB: Antonio Andrews 49, Dexter McCluster 13, Jalston Fowler 9, David Cobb 8
WR: Harry Douglas 70, Dorial Green-Beckham 59, Rico Richardson 24
TE: Delanie Walker 54, Craig Stevens 28, Anthony Fasano 26, Phillip Supernaw 10
OL: Byron Bell 70, Andy Gallik 70, Taylor Lewan 70, Joe Looney 70, Chance Warmack 70
Defense (60 total)
DL: Jurrell Casey 49, DaQuan Jones 41, Sammie Hill 29, Karl Klug 18, Angelo Blackson 17, Ropati Pitoitua 11
OLB: Brian Orakpo 52, David Bass 43, Derrick Morgan 17
ILB: Avery Williamson 60, Wesley Woodyard 34, Zach Brown 14, Justin Staples 8
CB: Perrish Cox 60, Coty Sensabaugh 60, Cody Riggs 25
S: Michael Griffin 60, Da’Norris Searcy 42, Daimion Stafford 18, Marqueston Huff 2
Beau Brinkley, Steven Johnson, Tre McBride, Jamon Meredith, Jeremiah Poutasi, and B.W. Webb each only appeared on special teams. Zach Mettenberger was active but did not appear in the game.
Notes and other observations:
1. Dexter McCluster’s injury did not seem to change the running back rotation much. Antonio Andrews got the bulk of the work and then about all of McCluster’s work on third downs and whatnot, while David Cobb continued to get just a limited number of snaps.
2. Playing every snap is a sure sign Harry Douglas is the only receiver the Titans dressed last night they felt they could trust. I do not recall seeing Rico Richardson in any 2-receiver sets, and Tre McBride got just 6 special teams snaps.
3. 10 snaps matched Phillip Supernaw’s season high, set in Week 3 against Indianapolis.
4. This was the third straight game with the same starting offensive line combination where each of the five linemen played every snap. The Titans’ last three-game streak with no offensive line changes was Weeks 6-8 of last season.
5. The defensive line rotation is still the defensive line rotation.
6. Though I have Justin Staples listed at ILB, his 8 snaps all came at OLB for Brian Orakpo. That’s Staples’ only work on defense this season, but (a) I don’t like to switch players’ declared position during the season (see, e.g. Marqueston Huff at CB all last season) and (b) his preseason work, when the Titans had options, came on the inside.
7. Titans CB3 Cody Riggs 25 snaps, Jacksonville WR3 Bryan Walters 16 snaps. Not that close, really.
8. Marqueston Huff was back on defense after not playing there the last two games. Garbage time Week 1 against the Buccaneers remains the only time he’s played more than 8 snaps this season, and revealed preference says Daimion Stafford is the primary backup to both Michael Griffin and Da’Norris Searcy.
