New England Patriots snap counts analysis entering Week 2

Week 1 Patriots snap counts: Offensive line

Below is a listing of last week’s numbers in the trenches:

Joe Thuney – 71 snaps (100 percent)

Cameron Fleming – 71 snaps (100 percent)

Marcus Cannon – 71 snaps (100 percent)

David Andrews – 71 snaps (100 percent)

Ted Karras – 57 snaps (80 percent)

Shaq Mason – 14 snaps (14 percent)

One of the biggest stories coming out of the Patriots’ Week 1 upset of the Cardinals was the resiliency of this group. Playing without Nate Solder and Jonathan Cooper, these six men were up the job of handling the potent Arizona pass rush, which Thuney, Fleming, Cannon and Andrews never getting a break.

Looking ahead to Week 2, we are going to assume that Solder and Cooper will be good to go, even if that may not end up being the case. It’s only Wednesday, after all.

Week 2 predictions

Solder – 74 snaps

Thuney – 74 snaps

Andrews – 74 snaps

Cannon – 74 snaps

Cooper – 58 snaps

Karras – 16 snaps
