Snap Counts: Week 6 usage & takeaways

WANDALE-ROBINSON

The Giants picked up their first divisional win of the season on Thursday as they defeated the Eagles at MetLife Stadium in Week 6.

It was a strong overall showing from the Giants, who moved to 2-4 on the season with a matchup against the Broncos in Denver next weekend.

Here are snap counts and takeaways from Week 6.

Quarterback

  • Jaxson Dart - 67 offensive snaps (97.1 percent)
  • Russell Wilson - 2 offensive snaps (2.9 percent)

Dart put together yet another strong showing in front of the home crowd. The rookie completed 17 of 25 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown for a passer rating of 104.6 while adding 13 carries for 58 yards and an additional touchdown. Dart joined Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes as the only quarterbacks since at least 1991 to lead their team to an opening-drive TD in each of their first three career starts. Additionally, Dart joined Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts and Baltimore's Lamar Jackson as the only quarterbacks with at least 50 rushing yards in each of their first three starts in the Super Bowl era. The 22-year-old came off the field to get evaluated for a concussion, which led to Wilson playing two offensive snaps. Dart was cleared and finished the game.

Running Back

  • Cam Skattebo - 49 offensive snaps (71.0 percent)
  • Tyrone Tracy Jr. - 21 offensive snaps (30.4 percent)
  • Devin Singletary - 4 offensive snaps (5.8 percent)

Tracy made his return after missing the previous two games with a shoulder injury, but Skattebo continued to lead the backfield in snaps. The rookie was on the field for 49 offensive snaps and ended up with 21 total touches (19 carries, two receptions) for 98 yards and an impressive three touchdowns. Tracy finished with six yards on four carries, while Singletary added 10 yards on three carries.

Wide Receiver

  • Wan'Dale Robinson - 67 offensive snaps (97.1 percent)
  • Lil'Jordan Humphrey - 53 offensive snaps (76.8 percent)
  • Jalin Hyatt - 29 offensive snaps (42.0 percent)
  • Beaux Collins - 4 offensive snaps, 10 special teams snaps (5.8 percent, 38.5 percent)
  • Gunner Olszewski - 1 offensive snap, 8 special teams snaps (1.4 percent, 30.8 percent)

With the Giants down Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton, the rest of the wide receiver room stepped up in Week 6, led by Robinson. The fourth-year wideout played almost every offensive snap and finished with a team-high six receptions for 84 yards and a touchdown. Humphrey made his Giants debut on Thursday and came up with a big 34-yard reception, which helped lead to the team's first touchdown. The veteran finished with four receptions for 55 yards. Hyatt also recorded his first receptions of the season as he caught three for 17 yards. Olszewski made an impact on special teams, returning three punts for 28 yards (9.3 avg.) along with four kickoffs for 103 yards (25.8 avg.).

Tight End

  • Theo Johnson - 62 offensive snaps (89.9 percent)
  • Daniel Bellinger - 39 offensive snaps, 9 special teams snaps (56.5 percent, 34.6 percent)
  • Chris Manhertz - 15 offensive snaps, 13 special teams snaps (21.7 percent, 50.0 percent)
  • Thomas Fidone II - 7 special teams snaps (26.9 percent)

All four tight ends saw snaps for the second consecutive game. Johnson caught two of four targets for 27 yards, while the other three saw extended action on special teams.

Offensive Line

  • Jermaine Eluemunor - 69 offensive snaps, 5 special teams snaps (100 percent, 19.2 percent)
  • Greg Van Roten - 69 offensive snaps, 5 special teams snaps (100 percent, 19.2 percent)
  • Jon Runyan - 69 offensive snaps, 5 special teams snaps (100 percent, 19.2 percent)
  • Andrew Thomas - 69 offensive snaps (100 percent)
  • John Michael Schmitz Jr. - 37 offensive snaps (53.6 percent)
  • Austin Schlottmann - 32 offensive snaps, 5 special teams snaps (46.4 percent, 19.2 percent)
  • Aaron Stinnie - 1 offensive snap, 5 special teams snaps (1.4 percent, 19.2 percent)
  • Marcus Mbow - 1 special teams snap (3.8 percent)

Schmitz suffered a concussion in the second half, which led to Schlottmann seeing his first extended action on offense this season. Between the two centers, neither player allowed a single pressure, according to Pro Football Focus. The offensive line performed well overall in the Week 6 win as the Giants were able to set new season-highs with 172 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.

"We played hard, and props to the guys up front for all the effort they gave me and this team," Skattebo said after the win. "They battled until the end, and that's what matters."

Defensive Line

  • Dexter Lawrence II - 44 defensive snaps (77.2 percent)
  • Roy Robertson-Harris - 24 defensive snaps, 3 special teams snaps (42.1 percent, 11.5 percent)
  • Rakeem Nuñez-Roches Sr. - 22 defensive snaps, 3 special teams snaps (38.6 percent, 11.5 percent)

  • Chauncey Golston - 9 defensive snaps, 21 special teams snaps (15.8 percent, 80.8 percent)
  • Darius Alexander - 9 defensive snaps, 1 special teams snap (15.8 percent, 3.8 percent)

The Giants did a great job of limiting the Eagles' run game, and the guys up front played a big role in that. Philadelphia gained just 73 yards on 20 carries, good for an average of 3.7 yards per carry. Lawrence played 77.2 percent of the defensive snaps, a big jump from last week's number, and finished with five tackles (one solo) and three total pressures. Robertson-Harris picked up a tackle for loss, while Nuñez-Roches had four total tackles. Davidson was forced out of the game early due to a knee injury.

Linebackers

  • Bobby Okereke - 57 defensive snaps, 3 special teams snaps (100 percent, 11.5 percent)
  • Kayvon Thibodeaux - 42 defensive snaps, 3 special teams snaps (73.7 percent, 11.5 percent)
  • Brian Burns - 42 defensive snaps (73.7 percent)
  • Abdul Carter - 40 defensive snaps, 4 special teams snaps (70.2 percent, 15.4 percent)
  • Darius Muasau - 35 defensive snaps, 8 special teams snaps (61.4 percent, 30.8 percent)
  • Neville Hewitt - 21 special teams snaps (80.8 percent)
  • Zaire Barnes - 17 special teams snaps (65.4 percent)

Okereke once again played every defensive snap and recorded six total tackles (two solo) and a pass breakup. Burns continued his dominant performance this season with two sacks of Jalen Hurts to go with seven total tackles (three solo). Burns' seven sacks on the season are tied for the most in the NFL heading into Sunday's games. Thibodeaux led the team with four total pressures, according to PFF, while also registering a tackle for loss. Muasau recorded the first sack of his career.

Defensive Backs

  • Jevón Holland - 57 defensive snaps, 6 special teams snaps (100 percent, 23.1 percent)
  • Paulson Adebo - 57 defensive snaps (100 percent)
  • Tyler Nubin - 54 defensive snaps, 9 special teams snaps (94.7 percent, 34.6 percent)
  • Cor'Dale Flott - 54 defensive snaps (94.7 percent)
  • Dru Phillips - 49 defensive snaps (86.0 percent)
  • Dane Belton - 16 defensive snaps, 21 special teams snaps (28.1 percent, 80.8 percent)
  • Deonte Banks - 3 defensive snaps, 11 special teams snaps (5.3 percent, 42.3 percent)
  • Art Green - 21 special teams snaps (80.8 percent)
  • Nic Jones - 14 special teams snaps (53.8 percent)
  • Beau Brade - 10 special teams snaps (38.5 percent)

Holland and Adebo also played every defensive snap, but it was Nubin that ended up leading the team with nine total tackles (six solo). Adebo finished tied for second with seven tackles, along with Belton, who put together one of his best games. In addition to his seven tackles, the fourth-year safety also had a pass breakup and a forced fumble, which Phillips recovered to help seal the win. Belton also played a big role on special teams as he finished as the team's highest-ranked defender by PFF. Flott also had a strong outing as he allowed just two receptions for nine yards on 36 coverage snaps while intercepting his first pass of the season. He finished with a passer rating when targeted of just 16.7.

Specialists

  • Jamie Gillan - 15 special teams snaps (57.7 percent)
  • Casey Kreiter - 9 special teams snaps (34.6 percent)
  • Jude McAtamney - 5 special teams snaps (19.2 percent)

Gillan had four punts for 171 yards (42.8 avg.), two of which were downed inside the 20-yard line, while also handling kickoff duties for the Giants. McAtamney did not attempt a field goal and missed one of five extra points.
