The defense played great for the Chargers yesterday. He carried the ball on seven of his 16 snaps and only gained 12 yards, a 1.7 yard per carry average. Newcomer Sony Michel played 24% of the snaps and did not look as good. He managed 5.3 yards per carry on his way to 21 rush yards, and had two receptions for 14 yards. Joshua Kelley played 27% of the snaps and looked, dare I say, good as RB2. I know the Chargers want to keep him fresh and minimize his chance to get hurt, but it felt like there were multiple stretches where Ek just wasn’t out there. Then at running back, Austin Ekeler played 49% of the offensive snaps, which felt kind of low. So it will be interesting to see if this was in response to tight end Donald Parham not being available, or if they have made a shift to including a fullback in more of their formations. It will be interesting to see if this continues as the Chargers only had a fullback play over 10% of the snaps in three games last season and had six games with no offensive snaps for the fullback. Horvath used those snaps to haul in a touchdown pass and had a rush for a first down on short yardage. First, rookie fullback Zander Horvath played 22% of the snaps, which is a higher percentage of the snaps than Gabe Nabers had in any of the games last season (the highest was 15%). Possibly the most interesting snap counts on offense came in the backfield. Lots of two-tight end formations for the bolts in week one. Gerald Everett had 66% of the snaps, while Tre McKitty also played 60%. The Chargers tight ends were on the field a lot. Carter, who according to the depth chart is listed as WR5, contributed in a big way, hauling in three receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown. In his absence, WR3 Josh Palmer played 75% of the snaps and kick returner DeAndre Carter played 37% of the offensive snaps.

It’s also extremely encouraging to see all five of them play the full game.Īt wide receiver we get some interesting numbers because Keenan Allen only played 33% of the snaps after coming down with a hamstring injury in the first half.
It wasn’t a flawless performance for the offensive line but it wasn’t terrible either. The five starting offensive linemen, Rashawn Slater, Matt Feiler, Corey Linsley, rookie Zion Johnson, and Trey Pipkins, along with quarterback Justin Herbert all played 100% of the offensive snaps.
Therefore, it will be interesting to see how some of the snap counts change over the first few games. With it being a new season, with a bunch of new additions to the team as far as personnel, it will take a few weeks to get a good feel of who’s going to be playing and how often. The Los Angeles Chargers started off the 2022 season the right way with a win at home vs the division opponent Las Vegas Raiders.
