Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants came close but in the end, couldn’t snap their streak of futility in primetime or stop the reign of dominance the Dallas Cowboys currently have over them on Thursday night.

In a game that came down to a few close plays and some horrendous officiating, Bug Blue lost, 20-15, dropping their record to 1-3 and effectively ending their season before the calendar flips to October. Again.

Although losing has become the norm in East Rutherford, losing winnable games is something that still elicits emotion in the locker room.

“No. I’m not getting no petty wins. Whoever won on the scoreboard and that’s the game. I don’t give a damn about a petty win,” nose tackle Dexter Lawrence said after the game, via SNY.

Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ Week 4 defeat.

Offensive snaps: 69
Defensive snaps: 56
Special teams snaps: 25

There is little to note about the Giants’ offensive snap counts. They have been keeping the same rotation and consistently giving the same percentage of snaps. That includes wide receiver Jalin Hyatt, who continues to see limited time on the field.

Defensively, cornerback Duke Shelley saw a 25 percent snap share after being elevated from the practice squad. His impact was minimal but the Giants needed the added body with Dru Phillips and Adoree’ Jackson inactive.

Linebacker Ty Summers, who was signed from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, remains a special teams fixture.
