With a new coaching staff comes questions about who will see the most playing time at each position. And, of course, it’s also opponent dependent as well.
There are a few interesting observations with regard to how many snaps each player had in the team’s season opener against the Chargers.
First up is how the receiving corps shook out. And that includes the tight ends.
Despite the prevailing thinking being the Brock Bowers would be basically the team’s third receiver, it was Tre Tucker who had more snaps behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers.
Zamir White started at running back, but it was Alexander Mattison who had more snaps as he was more effective.
On defense, Adam Butler had more snaps than John Jenkins. Both got the start as the Raiders often lined up with five defensive linemen.
Malcolm Koonce went down with a knee injury this week and was placed on IR. Leaving the Raiders to find a replacement. Tyree Wilson was lost after just six snaps. And it was practice squad call up Charles Snowden who got the start and led the way, even ahead of Janarius Robinson.
