The Arizona Cardinals played 77 offensive snaps in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Let’s see how the playing time was divided up and what it means.
Quarterback
Kyler Murray, 77
Murray has played every single snap this season. I suppose this is what everyone wants to see.
Offensive line
D.J. Humphries, 77; Justin Pugh, 77; A.Q. Shipley, 77; J.R. Sweezy, 77; Justin Murray, 77
This is the first time since Week 2 that all five starting linemen played every snap. Of course, the reason why this was the case was because in Weeks 3 and 4 Justin Murray and Jordan Mills were splitting snaps.
The other four starters have played every snap this season.
Running back
David Johnson, 54; Chase Edmonds, 27
Kliff Kingsbury is now on the record saying that the Cardinals are better with both Johnson and Edmonds on the field. For the second week in a row, they were on the field at the same time for only four snaps. Edmonds saw a season-high in playing time.
Wide receivers
KeeSean Johnson, 73; Trent Sherfield, 59; Larry Fitzgerald, 57; Pharoh Cooper, 18; Andy Isabella, 10
Surprise! Johnson and Sherfield both played more than Fitzgerald. Why? They play outside. Fitzgerald plays inside and the Cardinals used their tight ends more than any other game so far this season. This is also evident in the low snap numbers for Cooper and Isabella.
Tight ends
Charles Clay, 44; Maxx Williams, 43
Both Clay and Williams played double the snaps they had in any game. Let’s see if this continues in the weeks to come in games, especially if they aren’t behind most of the game.
