How the 49ers' play time was divided

Share

One of the questions surrounding the 49ers' offense was how much play time would coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman give each of the running backs and wide receivers.

INSTANT REPLAY: 49ers 30, Packers 22
As it turned out, the 49ers deactivated rookie LaMichael James, and Brandon Jacobs (left knee) was injured. So the play time among the running backs was about the same as a year ago. However, the 49ers used fullback Bruce Miller a lot more than usual.At wide receiver, the 49ers constantly shuttled four wideouts into the game. There's no question Michael Crabtree is the team's No. 1 wide receiver. And, actually, Mario Manningham played a higher percentage of the snaps than Randy Moss. Kyle Williams started alongside Crabtree but saw the least action among the four wide receivers who got on the field.MAIOCCO: Moss makes most of his first-half chances
