Giants-Vikings snap counts, PFF scores: Shaun Rogers comes up big

Let's look at the snap counts and Pro Football Focus grades from Monday's victory by the New York Giants over the Minnesota Vikings.

PFF Grades

Offense

Best
Eli Manning +2.0
John Conner +1.7
Will Beatty +1.6

Worst
Hakeem Nicks -2.8
Larry Donnell -1.9
Kevin Boothe -1.4
Peyton Hillis -1.1

Takeaways: Still not a lot of positve scores here, and what is going on with Hakeem Nicks? He caught only two passes in 10 targets.

Defense

Best
Shaun Rogers +3.0
Antrel Rolle +2.8
Jason Pierre-Paul +2.8
Justin Tuck +2.6
Jacquian Williams +2.6
Linval Joseph +1.1

Worst
Mathias Kiwanuka -2.8
Prince Amukamara -1.2
Trumaine McBride -1.1

Takeaways: Hey, those of us calling for Shaun Rogers to be inactive in favor of rookie Johnathan Hankins are really smart, aren't we? Maybe, just maybe, the coaching staff has a clue.

Snap Counts

Offense

Takeaways: No way Peyton Hillis could have expected 48 snaps. He could help the Giants going forward as, at the least, a third-down back. He can catch, and pass protect.

Defense

Takeaways: Hey, Damontre Moore got eight snaps! Hooray!
