It's defense week for the Houston Texans' snap-count analysis. We'll continue with J.J. Watt's position group.
Defensive line
DE J.J. Watt: 1010 snaps, 95.1 percent
DE Jared Crick: 682 snaps, 67.2 percent
DL Tim Jamison: 399 snaps, 37.6 percent
NT Ryan Pickett: 273 snaps, 25.7 percent
NT Jerrell Powe: 259 snaps, 24.4 percent
DE Jeoffrey Pagan: 177 snaps, 16.7 percent
DE Keith Browner: 14 snaps, 1.3 percent
Watt wasn't the only player who moved around on the defensive line. Jamison played the majority of his snaps at defensive end, but also played 63 snaps at tackle (mostly nose) and even stood up to play linebacker 22 times. Watt playing in 95.1 percent of all snaps was the highest number of any defensive lineman in the league, tied with Chiefs nose tackle Dontari Poe. Pagan, a sixth-round draft pick in 2014, saw his playing time grow later in the season. In five of his first seven games, Pagan had single-digit snaps. Starting in Week 8, Pagan had at least 10 snaps in all but one game. He played a season-high 22 snaps in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans.
