Arizona Cardinals defensive snap counts from the Falcons game

The Arizona Cardinals defense had half of a good game.

They had half of a horrendous game.

I will have some thoughts on this in a day or so, but I think the snap counts should tell you some of what will be coming.

Let’s take a look at the defensive and special teams snap counts from the Cardinals wins over the Atlanta Falcons.

Defensive Line

Corey Peters - 49 (71%)
Rodney Gunter - 45 (65%)
Jonathan Bullard - 38 (55%)
Zach Kerr - 19 (28%)
Clinton McDonald - 16 (23%)
Michael Dogbe - 2 (3%)

This is a solid group. The problem is solid is okay.

Edge

Chandler Jones - 68 (99%)
Terrell Suggs - 33 (48%)
Cassius Marsh - 33 (48%)
Brooks Reed - 5 (7%)

Really surprising to see Suggs and Marsh in an equal time share. Wonder if the Suggs injury flared up again?

Linebacker

Jordan Hicks - 69 (100%)
Haason Reddick - 69 (100%)

Cornerbacks

Byron Murphy - 69 (100%)
Tramaine Brock - 68 (99%)
Kevin Peterson - 38 (55%)G

Glad Tramaine got a lot of run in his final start of the season.

Safeties

Budda Baker - 69 (100%)
Deionte Thompson - 36 (52%)
Jalen Thompson - 33 (48%)

Budda and the Thompson twins will have some growing pains, but I think it is important.

Special Teams

Chris Banjo - 27 (82%)
Joe Walker - 27 (82%)
Chris Jones - 19 (66%)
D.J. Foster - 21 (64%)
Zane Gonzalez - 13 (39%)
Aaron Brewer - 10 (30%)
Andy Lee - 10 (30%)
Trevor Williams - 10 (30%)
Josh Miles - 6 (18%)
Ramik Wilson - 5 (15%)
