49ers snap count vs. Chicago Bears

We break down the 49ers snap count for their Week 11 matchup against the Chicago Bears

Kirby Lee-US PRESSWIRE

The 49ers face a short week as they get ready for the New Orleans Saints in Week 12, but in the meantime, I wanted to make sure and get the snap count posted. Even as the 49ers dominated the Chicago Bears, they did not need to use too many plays to take care of business. Considering the defense they were facing, it was really quite an impressive display.

On the first touchdown drive, Colin Kaepernick's 57-yard completion keyed a four play 63-yard touchdown drive. Their next touchdown drive, eight plays and one penalty allowed the 49ers to drive 96 yards to take a 17-0 lead. This drive more than anything showed that the 49ers could do whatever they want against the Bears defense.

This resulted in relatively low snap counts, although the general percentages were similar to previous games. Michael Crabtree led the wide receivers with 47% of offensive snaps, while Ted Ginn "brought up the rear" on 5% of snaps. Although Crabtree has become the number one wide receiver on the team, he comes off the field on a variety of one receiver sets in which Randy Moss is the lone receiver.

On defense, Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks both got a few breathers, which was helped by the blowout fashion of the game. This allowed Clark Haggans to get 12 snaps. Demarcus Dobbs also got 11 snaps on defense.
