Deone Bucannon goes the distance vs. Rams after limited work vs 49ers

Against the St. Louis Rams, the Arizona Cardinals defense didn't have play much. They managed only to have 50 defensive snaps, as they help the Rams to 1/12 on third down. Five players went the distance, including Deone Bucannon, who saw limited action in San Francisco after suffering a concussion.

Linebacker Sean Weatherpoon also saw some work for the second week in a row on defense.

Here are the snap counts:

Defensive backs: Justin Bethel, 50; Patrick Peterson, 50; Rashad Johnson, 50; Tyrann Mathieu, 50; Deone Bucannon, 50; Tony Jefferson, 36; Corey White, 3

White saw a few snaps. The one guy we were made to believe who would but didn't was receiver Brittan Golden, who was moved to defensive back last week.

Linebackers: Markus Golden, 36; Kevin Minter, 35; Alex Okafor, 25; Dwight Freeney, 25; Sean Weatherspoon, 12; Alani Fua, 3

For really the first time this season, Minter doesn't play all the snaps. Weatherspoon got some snaps for the second week in a row.

Defensive line: Calais Campbell, 46; Ed Stinson, 30; Josh Mauro, 18; Rodney Gunter, 17; Xavier Williams, 10; Red Bryant, 7

Stinson was the guy who the Cardinals missed. He was very active and played a lot. It would appear Gunter and Williams are beginning to split time.
