Ive been very happy with the way we've stacked our D-Line this offseason, and it got me thinking about how they may split the snapcount between everyone. If you take a look at last year, this is the way the snaps were split:

J Allen: 90.7%
L Guion: 33.2%
F Evans: 30%
C Baker: 4.9%
K Williams: 61.5%
S Floyd: 39.3%
B Robison: 83.2%
E Griffen: 59.7%

With all of the new signings and releases, and I realize we still have the rest of FA and the draft, but how do you think the snaps will be split between the DL?

I have no idea but it might be instructive to see how snaps were split along the Cincy defensive line the last few years.

Anyone on scout.com?

Can't get anything from the article though.

Here's from 2011:

Here's a list for all defensive players in 2013:

Dunlap 87.2%
Johnson 84.5%
Peko 59.8%
Gilberry 47.4%
Atkins 42.4%
Thompson 36%
Hunt 15.3%
Still 12.1%
Geathers 2.1%

It could be skewed because of the Atkins injury, but it looks like it's a lot more rotational and balanced. Fresh legs is a big key to success I would say.

I was surprised to see Floyd had taken more snaps than Evans and Guion...rookie or not, he didn't make much of an impact besides a few splash plays. Do we trust him taking around 60% of snaps next year?
