Snap Counts: Why Isn't Jack Campbell Playing More?

A review of the Detroit Lions' snap counts against the Seahawks.

Here's a look at the Detroit Lions' snap counts from their Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks. 

Quarterback

• Jared Goff: (66) 100%

A pick-six doomed what was an otherwise very solid day for Goff. He threw three touchdowns and finished with a passer rating of 121.8

Running backs

• Jahmyr Gibbs: (32) 48%
• David Montgomery: (30) 45%
• Craig Reynolds: (10) 15% -- 11 special teams snaps (39%)
• Jason Cabinda: (5) 8% -- 15 special teams snaps (54%)

Gibbs had a costly drop and just 17 yards on seven carries. With Montgomery dealing with a thigh bruise, though, he could be in for a bigger role. 

Wide receivers

• Josh Reynolds: (53) 80%  
• Amon-Ra St. Brown: (49) 74%
• Marvin Jones: (34) 52%
• Kalif Raymond: (28) 42% -- Three special teams snaps (11%)
• Antoine Green: (7) 11% -- Eight special teams snaps (29%)

Reynolds' stock is soaring after two weeks. He caught two touchdowns Sunday, and St. Brown had his first 100-yard performance of the season. Raymond, meanwhile, recorded his first receiving touchdown since 2021. 

Tight ends

• Sam LaPorta: (54) 82%
• Brock Wright: (26) 39% -- 12 special teams snaps (43%)
• James Mitchell: (2) 3% -- 11 special teams snaps (39%)

After some early blocking struggles, LaPorta was a key part of the offense down the stretch of the fourth quarter. He threw a nice block on Montgomery's scoring run and had two impressive catches late in the game. 

Offensive line

• Penei Sewell: (66) 100% - - Five special teams snaps (18%)
• Halapoulivaati Vaitai: (47) 71% - - Three special teams snaps (11%)
• Frank Ragnow: (66) 100% 
• Jonah Jackson:  (66) 100% - - Five special teams snaps (18%)
• Matt Nelson: (66) 100% - - Five special teams snaps (18%)
• Graham Glasgow: (19) 29% - - Five special teams snaps (18%)
• Colby Sorsdal: Five special teams snaps (18%)
• Kayode Awosika: Two special teams snaps (7%)

Already down Taylor Decker on Sunday, a significant injury to Vaitai would be decimating. Matt Nelson performed well in his first start of the season. 

Defensive line

• Aidan Hutchinson: (68) 94% -- One special teams snap (4%)
• Charles Harris: (41) 57% -- Eight special teams snaps (29%)
• Alim McNeill: (55) 76% -- Seven special teams snaps (25%)
• Benito Jones: (48) 67% -- Seven special teams snaps (25%) 
• John Cominsky: (48) 67% -- Eight special teams snaps (29%)  
• Levi Onwuzurike: (14) 19% -- One special teams snap (4%)
• James Houston: (11) 15% -- Eight special teams snaps (29%)  
• Romeo Okwara: (27) 38% - - Three special teams snaps (11%)

The defensive line couldn't get any pressure on Geno Smith. After two games, the unit has still not recorded a sack. 

Linebackers

• Alex Anzalone: (65) 90% -- One special teams snap (4%)  
• Derrick Barnes: (39) 54% 
• Jack Campbell: (23) 32% -- 13 special teams snaps (46%)
• Malcolm Rodriguez: (16) 22% -- 16 special teams snaps (57%)
• Jalen Reeves-Maybin: 22 special teams snaps (79%)
• Anthony Pittman: 22 special teams snaps (79%) 

Anzalone had the team's lone sack yesterday and had seven tackles. Barnes appears to have won the second linebacker job, but Campbell and Rodriguez are still holding their own during their reps. 

The rookie, despite being known for his coverage skills, only played 32 percent of defensive snaps against Seattle. 

Cornerbacks

• Cameron Sutton: (72) 100% -- One special teams snap (4%)   
• Jerry Jacobs:  (72) 100% -- Eight special teams snaps (29%) 
• Will Harris: 22 special teams snaps (79%)  
• Chase Lucas: Eight special teams snaps (29%) 

It was a rough day for Jacobs. He committed pass interference in the end zone and was frequently targeted in the passing game. Seattle's wide receivers have tormented Detroit's secondary in recent years.

Safety

• Kerby Joseph: (63) 88% -- Seven special teams snaps (25%)
• C.J. Gardner-Johnson: (70) 97% -- One special teams snap (4%) 
• Brian Branch: (49) 68% -- Six special teams snaps (21%)
• Ifeatu Melifonwu: (2) 3% -- 16 special teams snaps (57%)
• Tracy Walker III: (9) 12% -- Eight special teams snaps (29%) 

Both Joseph and Gardner-Johnson left briefly before returning in the first quarter. Branch's performance leveled out after a strong debut in Week 1. 

Specialists

• Jack Fox: 12 special teams snaps (43%)
• Scott Daly: Six special teams snaps (21%)
• Riley Patterson: Five special teams snaps (18%)
