A look at the New Orleans Saints' snap counts in their 37-34 overtime loss at the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1: OFFENSE (75 snaps) Quarterback: Drew Brees 75 Running back: Pierre Thomas 34, Mark Ingram 20, Travaris Cadet 12, Khiry Robinson 12 Fullback: Austin Johnson 7, Parys Haralson 2 Receiver: Marques Colston 64, Brandin Cooks 52, Joe Morgan 49, Robert Meachem 19 Tight end: Jimmy Graham 66, Benjamin Watson 28, Josh Hill 10 Offensive tackle: Terron Armstead 75, Zach Strief 75 Guard: Jahri Evans 75, Ben Grubbs 75 Center: Jonathan Goodwin 75 Thoughts: It’s always surprising to see the low totals for the tailbacks -- but that’s unavoidable since they typically play one at a time. For the most part, they all made the most of their touches. Expect a similar distribution all year. ... Morgan clearly started the season as the No. 3 receiver with Stills out. Although he wound up with no catches, expect him to remain active ahead of Meachem and Nick Toon when Stills comes back. ... Haralson’s two snaps were pretty interesting -- especially considering he successfully served as a lead blocker on a touchdown run by Robinson on his first snap. Haralson, a linebacker by trade, said it was a new wrinkle the Saints added this week, and he had never played fullback at any level in the past. DEFENSE (72 snaps) Cornerback: Corey White 66, Patrick Robinson 64, Keenan Lewis 63 Safety: Kenny Vaccaro 72, Jairus Byrd 70, Rafael Bush 27, Vinnie Sunseri 2 Outside linebacker: Junior Galette 60, Kasim Edebali 10, Parys Haralson 7 Inside linebacker: Curtis Lofton 65, David Hawthorne 63, Ramon Humber 12 Defensive end: Cameron Jordan 67, Akiem Hicks 63, Tyrunn Walker 14, Glenn Foster 8 Defensive tackle: Brodrick Bunkley 33, Brandon Deaderick 26 Thoughts: White supplanted Bush as the Saints' nickelback -- not a huge surprise after White played so well this summer, but a change from last season. White was the Saints' third cornerback, but he wound up playing the most snaps because of minor injuries that temporarily sidelined Robinson and Lewis. ... Young backups Brian Dixon, Ronald Powell and Kyle Knox played only on special teams. New Orleans Saints' Week 1 snap counts - ESPN |

Did Hill line up at FB as well? Thinking I might have transposed their numbers and assumed it was Hill |
