The Baltimore Ravens blog is reviewing the breakdown of snaps at each position:
RUNNING BACKS
Justin Forsett: 671 snaps (65.6 percent)
Kyle Juszczyk: 438 snaps (42.8 percent)
Bernard Pierce: 150 snaps (14.6 percent)
Lorenzo Taliaferro: 130 snaps (12.7 percent)
Fitzgerald Toussaint: 23 snaps (2.2 percent)
Forsett carried the workload in his first season as the primary ballcarrier. He took over the starting job by Week 3 after Ray Rice was abruptly released and Pierce struggled with a thigh injury. Forrest's 671 snaps ranked No. 6 among NFL running backs (Matt Forte led the league with 923 snaps). In comparison, Rice totaled 675 plays in 2013.
The Ravens' backup running back spot was split between Pierce and Taliaferro. In all likelihood, Taliaferro would've ended up with the second-most snaps among Ravens' tailbacks if he hadn't suffered a season-ending foot injury in Week 14. His 130 snaps ranked No. 18 among rookie running backs in 2014. Pierce's playing time has dipped along with his effectiveness. He played 233 fewer snaps in 2014, and he was passed by undrafted rookie Toussaint by the end of the season
Juszczyk watched his playing time jump significantly. After the Ravens re-signed Vonta Leach last season, Juszczyk was only on the field for three plays in 2013. A year later, only San Francisco's Bruce Miller had more snaps at fullback than Juszczyk.
