Playing Time Trends (snap count)
According to the Sun
I thought the most interesting ones were:
You might be surprised by this, but Dennis Pitta has played only six more snaps than fellow tight end Ed Dickson. I often get asked why Dickson isn’t more involved, but he is out there a fair amount, usually as a blocker and not a pass-catcher. And actually, over the past four games, Dickson played 147 snaps and Pitta played 139.
Wide receiver Jacoby Jones has not played more than 22 snaps in a game since the Week 4 win over the Browns. In the first four games, he averaged 30.5 snaps per game. Tandon Doss played 44 snaps in the first four and 34 in the next four. That’s partially because starters Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin rarely take a breather, playing 495 and 474 offensive snaps, respectively.

Re: Playing Time Trends (snap count)
The Decrease in snaps at WR does seem to almost exactly correspond with Deonte Thompson being replaced by Jacoby at KR. But unfortunately it also seems to correspond with diminished effectiveness in the passing game. Doss has made a few nice catches but he just can't stretch the field like Jacoby.
As an aside, I think Jacoby was on the injury report last week so perhaps injury related as well? Either way, I think we'd all like him back in the mix on offense.
