A look at the snaps played by offensive skill position players in the Patriots’ 20-10 win over the Panthers (as charted in press box, small margin for error):
WR Randy Moss – 71 of 75
WR Wes Welker – 60 of 75
TE Chris Baker – 50 of 75
TE Benjamin Watson – 48 of 75
RB Kevin Faulk – 32 of 75
RB Laurence Maroney – 32 of 75
RB/FB Sammy Morris – 29 of 75
WR Julian Edelman – 21 of 75
WR Isiah Stanback – 18 of 75
TE Mark LeVoir – 9 of 75
WR Matthew Slater – 3 of 75
FB BenJarvus Green-Ellis – 2 of 75
(Snaps don’t include final two kneel-downs. Facemask, defensive pass interference, illegal formation and false start penalties included.)
ANALYSIS: Moss, whose effort was called into question, was on the field for almost every play. He came off in power run packages, when Slater or Stanback served as the lone receiver. … Morris snaps were split evenly between lead-blocking fullback and running back. … Stanback and Edelman split duties as the third receiver.
