Seahawks Snap Counts: 2009 Preseason Week 3

Brian McIntyre of NorthwestFootball.net reviews how the Seattle Seahawks have used their personnel through three preseason games.

Offensive Personnel Groupings

These groupings are through the first three preseason games, and refer to personnel, not formation. If Owen Schmitt lined up as a wide receiver, or as an H-Back, he’s counted as a “RB” because that’s the position he plays. If John Carlson lined up as a running back, he’s counted as a “TE”, because that’s the position he plays.

Group	Pass	Run	Total	Pass %	Run %
1 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE	51	17	68	75.0%	25.0%
2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE	34	38	72	47.2%	52.8%
2 RB, 3 WR	4	0	4	100.0%	0.0%
1 RB, 2 WR, 2 TE	10	23	33	30.3%	69.7%
2 RB, 1 WR, 2 TE	7	16	23	30.4%	69.6%
1 RB, 4 WR	8	0	8	100.0%	0.0%
2 RB, 3 TE	0	0	0	0.0%	0.0%
Total	114	94	208	54.8%	45.2%

Below are the snaps each Seahawks’ offensive player has taken in the three preseason games, as well as the percentage of the total snaps it represents. Special teams plays and plays nullified by penalty are not included.
