Playing time thru 2 for LBs
Posted by on August 24, 2013 – 2:44 pmLinebackers can often make the roster if they’re not a starter with their play on special teams. Here’s a look at defensive snap counts and special teams snap counts for Buffalo’s linebackers through the first two preseason games.

Chris White 53
Bryan Scott 49
Marcus Dowtin 48
Brian Smith 43
Manny Lawson 41

LB special teams snap counts thru 2 games
Name Snaps

Jerry Hughes 17
Manny Lawson 9
Kiko Alonso (1 gm) 4
Perhaps the most interesting figures belong to that of Chris White, who stands fourth in snaps on defense and first in snaps on special teams. If there is a candidate that fits the mold of a LB that could make because of his special teams play it’s him. He’s one of the five players we profiled in our Five Players to Watch this afternoon. Arthur Moats is another.
