I get the impression that we are just a couple of players away from having an elite defensive unit. Unfortunately the players we need all reside in our secondary and if the secondary is a weak link, it makes it harder for the front 7. We simply have to address that position in the off-season and then we could see this unit come together to be something very special.
However lets dive straight in to our defensive snap counts:
| Player | Position | Snap Counts | Percentage of Plays |
| Dawan Landry | SS | 66 | 100% |
| Darrin Walls | CB | 66 | 100% |
| Antonio Allen | CB | 66 | 100% |
| David Harris | LD | 66 | 100% |
| Calvin Pryor | FS | 65 | 98% |
| Demario Davis | LB | 64 | 97% |
| Muhammad Wilkerson | DE | 64 | 97% |
| Sheldon Richardson | DE | 58 | 88% |
| Calvin Pace | OLB | 57 | 86% |
| Quinton Coples | OLB | 54 | 82% |
| Damon Harrison | NT | 32 | 48% |
| Kyle Wilson | CB | 21 | 32% |
| Kenrick Ellis | NT | 13 | 20% |
| Jason Babin | OLB | 12 | 18% |
| Legar Douzable | DE | 10 | 15% |
| Trevor Reilly | OLB | 5 | 8% |
| Phillip Adams | CB | 4 | 6% |
| Jaiquawn Jarrett | FS | 3 | 5% |
Really not a great deal to notice here. Obviously the slot corner plays as much as the offensive unit sets up, but 32% from a former first round selection. I think we can agree now that perhaps that wasn't the best selection. Quinton Coples rose from 70% against the Packers to 82% here and he looks as though he's becoming more comfortable at the position.
Darrin Walls and Antonio Allen having to play 100% of the snaps is never a good thing.
