Snap Reactions: Notes on the Seahawks’ snap counts from Week 13

In their worst game of the season and one of the worst games of Russell Wilson’s career, the Seahawks fell to the Giants 17-12. Seattle’s loss featured a rotating door at right tackle and unconvincing protection across the line.

That and more in the team’s snap counts, below.

• In his second game back from a foot injury, Chris Carson returned to leading the backfield, out-snapping Carlos Hyde 58% to 25% of the offense’s snaps, with DeeJay Dallas seeing 17%. Pete Carroll did say after the game, however, that Carson was still not fully healthy.
• In the team’s second game without Greg Olsen, it was an even split between Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister, with both playing 54% of snaps on offense.
• With the Seahawks playing predominantly base defense on Sunday against Colt McCoy, Jordyn Brooks saw a huge uptick in snaps, playing 77% on defense. Ugo Amadi, meanwhile, came in at just 23%, reflective of the small number of snaps in nickel the defense played.
• Jarran Reed continues to play far too much, finishing at 79% on Sunday. Reed is just too important to the pass rush to have him playing 80% of snaps regularly and he has to be rotated out more often on early downs, despite how skilled of a run defender he is.
• Finally Carlos Dunlap, who came into the game questionable with a foot injury, was largely restricted to a situational role and played just 41% of snaps on defense. Benson Mayowa, who started in his place, played 57%.
