The NFL publishes a "Gamebook" after every game throughout the season. This year, the league has added the number of offensive, defensive, and special teams snaps every player played throughout the game. It's an interesting look at the team, especially when you see things like Legedu Naanee, who played only 43% of the offensive snaps, the least amount of snaps for any Miami Dolphins wide receiver (who appeared as an offensive player).
We will look at all 17 players who took a snap on offense - meaning a player like wide receiver Marlon Moore will nto be listed on here, since he only appeared on special teams on Sunday.
The Dolphins ran 63 offensive plays this week. Here is the break down of the Miami offense, by position groups, for the Week 1 game against the Houston Texans (Italics indicate starter):

Thoughts: Nothing overly surprising here. The offensive linemen have not rotated much throughout the preseason under head coach Joe Philbin, so the fact that all five took every snap should not be a shock.

Sounds like Fuller or Hogan could get a promotion to the 53, and Naanee might be in trouble

What do you guys think of this post? Do you like this? If you do, I will post the defense later tonight, and then plan on adding this to our Monday schedule each week.
