FentayeJones Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The Falcons lost to the Dolphins last night, but the most important thing today is how those players competing for roster spots performed, and whether they might stick around. We'll have a full 53 man roster projection coming up after the first round of cuts, but until then, snap counts and scrutinizing performances are the best tools we have for projecting who might make the team when the dust settles.As always, these preseason snaps are best considered in light of what they mean for players seeking to make the team. I'll highlight some notable snap counts below. OffenseT.J. Yates: 51 (75% of defensive snaps) Terron Ward: 42Justin Hardy: 40Ryan Schraeder: 37James Stone: 37Mike Person: 37Tyler Polumbus: 34Levine Toilolo: 32Pierce Burton: 31Nick Williams: 30Jacob Tamme: 26Leonard Hankerson: 26Bernard Reedy: 26Jon Asamoah: 24Chris Chester: 23Patrick DiMarco: 21Jerome Smith: 20Carl Mitchell: 19Jared Smith: 18Jake Matthews: 17Jake Rodgers: 17Joe Hawley: 17Tony Moeaki: 15Devin Hester: 15Valerian Ume-Ezeoke: 14Eric Weems: 11D.J. Tialavea: 9Adam Replogle: 9Eric Lefeld: 8Matt Huffer: 7Tevin Coleman: 6Lamar Holmes: 2Mickey Shuler: 1Mike Ford: 1Julio Jones: 1There's some oddness here with Lamar Holmes, who I legitimately did not see getting onto the field. If he's back and capable of playing, expect him to get a long look in Week 4 with the team facing some scary questions at the tackle position. With Jake Rodgers playing well enough to earn a roster spot, Tyler Polumbus and Pierce Burton got a few more snaps last night, with Polumbus turning in his best performance before getting hurt and Burton playing pretty well. If the Falcons don't look outside the roster, hopefully it'll be Rodgers, Holmes, and Burton mixing for the last two tackle spots.I'm fully expecting Mike Ford, Eric Lefeld and Matt Huffer to get cut, as they simply haven't gotten the opportunities you'd expect if they were legitimately battling for roster spots. Levine Toilolo, meanwhile, continues to get a long look from the coaching staff, and I can't tell you right now whether Tony Moeaki is getting fewer snaps because he's running behind Toilolo. The two will probably duke it out for the right to back up Jacob Tamme this coming week.Why didn't Julio Jones play? It's generally smart not to announce your star wide receiver's big contract and then risk him in a preseason game, I suppose.Final, interesting note: If the Falcons are seriously considering keeping six to seven receivers, and Nick Williams is still firmly in the mix, so is Bernard Reedy, who got nearly as many snaps. I continue to think Reedy is the better long-term keeper for Atlanta, and he should at least be able to push his way into the conversation for a roster squad spot. DefenseRicardo Allen: 60 (93% of defensive snaps)Phillip Adams: 38Robert Alford: 38Paul Worrilow: 38Kemal Ishmael: 34Justin Durant: 32Allen Bradford: 27O'Brien Schofield: 27Charles Godfrey: 26Jalen Collins: 25Travis Howard: 25Kevin White: 25Stansly Maponga: 24Jonathan Babineaux: 22Adrian Clayborn: 22Tyler Starr: 19Ra'Shede Hageman: 19Vic Beasley: 18Joplo Bartu: 17Kroy Biermann: 17Grady Jarrett: 17Paul Soliai: 16Cliff Matthews: 15Joey Mbu: 13Malliciah Goodman: 13Tyson Jackson: 12Warren Herring: 10Boris Anyama: 10Nate Stupar: 9Brooks Reed: 8Terrance Manning: 7Sam Meredith: 7Dezmen Southward: 6Sean Baker: 5Jonathon Mincy: 5Derrick Hopkins: 5Akeem King: 2Michael Lee: 2Good luck sorting through this one. Ricardo Allen got a very lengthy audition in this one, and he played a solid game that would seem to secure the starting job he's had all along. Look for him to sit against the Ravens on Thursday.Akeem King is probably ticketed for the practice squad, Michael Lee, Derrick Hopkins, Jonathon Mincy and Sean Baker figure to be in the mix for the first round of cuts, and Tyson Jackson, Malliciah Goodman, and Cliff Matthews all got a relatively paltry number of snaps and didn't stand out, so they'll likely all mix in some for Week 4 as the team tries to figure out who deserves to stay.Bradford got snaps with the starters, continues to rank among the team leaders in snaps and tackles this preseason, and has done nothing to shake my belief that he's turned himself into a roster lock. Kudos to him.I just don't think there's a ton to be gleaned here beyond that. Players I think are competing for roles were generally in the same neighborhood in terms of snaps, with Tyler Starr and Joplo Bartu being a prime example of that phenomenon. The first round of cuts and the subsequent snaps on Thursday will go a long way toward clarifying what's going on up front, but for what it's worth, I think the Falcons are deciding between Starr and Bartu for the team's last linebacker spot. Special TeamsAllen Bradford: 16Patrick DiMarco: 14Kemal Ishmael: 13Eric Weems: 13Matt Bosher: 12Jalen Collins: 11Levine Toilolo: 10Ricardo Allen: 10Phillip Adams: 10Nate Stupar: 9Josh Harris: 9Robert Alford: 9Joplo Bartu: 8Jacob Tamme: 8Travis Howard: 8Tyler Starr: 7Kroy Biermann: 6Nick Williams: 6Bradford continuing to play a ton on special teams and show well there means he can push another linebacker with less special teams chops off the roster...but I doubt he has to worry about that, as I noted above.DiMarco getting a considerable amount of special teams work has to help his roster case, even if fullback is looking a bit like a coin flip right now.One final note: Travis Howard getting 25 snaps on defense and some work on special teams might mean nothing, but given the unsettled cornerback situation after the team's top four, maybe he's in.Your thoughts on these snap counts?

GrimeyKidd Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) 65 is our rookie OT Jake Rodgers. 63 is that UDFA Center everybody loved. I still don't remember when we signed 64 Jared Smith.Jake Rodgers wears 72. 63 is Valerian Ume Ezoke I believe.

JRid Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'm re watching the game now and just realized Polumbus was playing left guard when he got injured. Burton was playing right tackle at the time and he got a lot of snaps there. I'm not sure Polumbus played tackle at all last night, but not sure.

alphaville Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 You sure he didn't change his number? Official roster page says he's 65. And yeah that's the Center I meant.Rodgers is definitely 72.

sanfranfalcon Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 74 and Holmes have the exact same body type to me. easy to mistake 74 for 76...if that is indeed what happened. i know i did a double-take... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro2000 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 65 is Chester. No way Holmes played. We would've heard about him returning to practice thus being taken off the PUP list.If he remains on the roster, it sounds like he will start the yr on PUP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidious Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Nice that Clayborn was only in 22 plays because it seemed like he had some type of QB pressure on most of the pass plays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRid Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Polumbus(#79)started the 2nd half at LT for one series. The second series he played LG, Rodgers(#72) played LT, and Burton(#69) played RT. Burton actually looked decent at RT and he played there the whole 2nd half except the 1st series. It was Rodgers, Polumbus, Hawley, Asamoah, Burton. Polumbus got injured while playing LG, but he came back in and played another series. Lefeld(#74) replaced him for one play while he was injured and then Repogle came in for 2 plays on the goal line. Smith (#64) came in for Asamoah at RG in the 4th qtr. Then it was Rodgers, Polumbus, Hawley, Smith, Burton. I never saw Holmes. The next series it was Rodgers, Repogle, Ume-Ezeoke, Smith, Burton.
