Snap count totals for the 2015-16 Carolina Panthers, out of a possible 1,289 plays (postseason included). 

 

 

DEFENSIVE ENDS

 

Kony Ealy — 739

Jared Allen — 627

Charles Johnson — 490

Mario Addison — 449

Ryan Delaire — 246

Wes Horton — 197

 

 

Because he's the only DE who played every game, Ealy finished with the most snaps, but he lost too many to Allen, especially in the Super Bowl.

DEFENSIVE TACKLES

 

Kawann Short — 897

Star Lotulelei — 633

Dwan Edwards — 447

Kyle Love — 343

Colin Cole — 49

 

Could see the top four in a similar rotation next year.

LINEBACKERS

 

Thomas Davis — 1,159

Luke Kuechly — 951

Shaq Thompson — 442

A.J. Klein — 326

Ben Jacobs — 35

 

Davis played 89.9 percent of possible snaps while starting all 19 games – not bad for a 32 year old; Thompson's playing time was perhaps more limited than many expected, but it fit perfectly into the Panthers' future plans.

CORNERBACKS

 

Josh Norman — 1,243

Bené Benwikere — 786

Charles Tillman — 670

Cortland Finnegan — 357

Robert McClain — 225

Teddy Williams — 68

 

Norman played 96.4 percent of possible snaps in his contract year; when you look at those around him, you can see why the Panthers will at least lock Norman up for one more season with the franchise tag.
