Analyzing Colts’ snap counts in Week 4 vs. Dolphins

Analyzing the snap counts from the Colts’ 27-17 win in Week 4.

The Indianapolis Colts (1-3) grabbed their first win of the season in a 27-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins (1-3) on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium.

Snapping a three-game losing streak to open the season and avoiding the dreaded 0-4 start, the Colts finally looked like a team with some promise. Some of that was due to help from the Dolphins, but we also have to give the Colts their due.

Following the Week 4 win, it’s time to take a look at the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams for Indy:

Offense

Notes

  • At right tackle, Julién Davenport got the start but shared snaps with Matt Pryor, who saw a season-high 42% share. With Davenport’s struggles, it will be interesting to see what the split looks like moving forward.
  • In the backfield, Jonathan Taylor led the way at 51% while Nyheim Hines and Marlon Mack split snaps at 31% each. Taylor led the way with 19 touches followed by Mack (10) and Hines (4).
  • TE Jack Doyle was limited by a back injury and didn’t see his first snaps until the second half. This led to Mo Alie-Cox leading the room at 69% and a season-high for rookie Kylen Granson at 42% of the snaps.
  • WR Michael Pittman Jr. continues to lead the room in snaps (86%) and targets (8).

Defense & Special Teams

Notes

  • With a thin CB room, Isaiah Rodgers played 85% of the defensive snaps behind Xavier Rhodes and Kenny Moore.
  • It was essentially a three-man rotation at defensive end with rookie Kwity Paye out. The room was led by Al-Quadin Muhammad and Tyquan Lewis, both of which saw a season-high snap share.
  • Kemoko Turay also flashed a bit more in an expanded role. His 46% snap share was the second-highest in a single game since the 2019 season started.
  • Meanwhile, Ben Banogu was out-snapped by Isaac Rochell.
