What can we learn from the snap counts in Thursday's 28-20 preseason-ending loss by the New York Giants to the New England Patriots? Let's take a look.
Mark Herzlich played more snaps than any Giant, 52. He also played 25 special teams snaps. Dan Connor left the game after only nine snaps with a burner.
New starting offensive linemen James Brewer and Justin Pugh played 42 and 41 snaps, respectively. Pugh appeared to do a nice job at right tackle. Brewer did fine at left guard, but surrendered a pair of sacks when moved to left tackle.
Da'Rel Scott played the fewest snaps of any offensive player, but maximized his 10 plays with four runs for 25 yards and two pass receptions, including one for a touchdown.
Antrel Rolle, returning from an ankle injury, played 11 snaps.
Charles James handled all of the punt return duties, but played only five snaps at cornerback.
