Seattle Seahawks

It's time for our weekly look at Seahawks snap counts. Seattle improved to 5-1 on Sunday with a 32-28 road win against the Cleveland Browns. The Seahawks are now a perfect 3-0 away from home this season. There were several injuries and tweaks to the lineup this week. Here's who played, how much and what it might mean moving forward.

Takeaways:

- As expected, George Fant and Jamarco Jones started in place of Duane Brown and D.J. Fluker, respectively. It was Joey Hunt who assumed Fant's normal role as the extra tight end/offensive lineman. Hunt played seven snaps, illustrating that the Seahawks didn't use those packages nearly as often as previous weeks.

- Nick Bellore only played three snaps as he continues to be seldom used in Seattle's offense. However, he did touch the ball for the first time this season, catching a 20-yard pass in the first quarter.

- Luke Willson played 56 snaps and will continue to be a near every down player now that Will Dissly's season is likely over with an Achilles injury. Willson caught 2-of-3 targets for 16 yards. Jacob Hollister also saw his first action as a member of the Seahawks after being promoted from the practice squad on Friday. He played 29 snaps but wasn't targeted. Unless Seattle signs a free agent tight end or trades for one, Hollister should continue to have a role moving forward as well. Ed Dickson's (knee) health is also something to monitor. He's eligible to practice this week and to play beginning in Week 9.

 

- C.J. Prosise played 17 snaps with Rashaad Penny (hamstring) inactive. He failed to convert on a two-point conversion attempt at the end of the first half and lost a fumble in the second half.

- So much for the Seahawks going back to playing nickel more frequently. Jamar Taylor played just 12 snaps (out of 69) while Mychal Kendricks played 59.

- Neiko Thorpe played two snaps in Seattle's goal line defense.

- Seattle used a consistent rotation at safety. Tedric Thompson played 52 snaps with Lano Hill mixing in for 15 and Marquise Blair playing eight. The Seahawks utilized their dime package and had three safeties on the field for several third downs. It was a peculiar rotation, and it's something to monitor moving forward. Pete Carroll said that everyone deserves to play, but that also sounds like they just don't feel comfortable enough with any one particular player yet.

- L.J. Collier played five snaps but didn't register a tackle. The team's first-round pick had been a healthy inactive in previous weeks.
