In this game, the less you played the better.

In this game, you don’t want much tape to exist, because if it exists it was more than likely very bad.

The Dolphins came into a Week 4 game at New England with lots of key injuries and left with more.

This meant more playing time for some roster depth players. How did it go? Here are some Snap Conclusions:

1. DE Jonathan Woodard — 46 percent. In his first NFL game, Woodard appeared to hold up pretty well. What’s interesting is that Woodard actually played more snaps than former first-round draft choice Charles Harris. Woodard is a former seventh-rounder who missed two seasons with an Achilles injury. Woodard had four tackles, including one for loss. Harris had four tackles, including one for loss.

2. RB Kenyan Drake — 45 percent. Drake had fewer snaps than veteran Frank Gore (51 percent). Drake had only three carries for three yards. After the game, coach Adam Gase admitted he needs and wants to get his running backs more touches. It’s not going to be easy because on Sunday, Miami’s banged-up offensive line did not create the necessary push. Drake has too many rushes for loss this season. But he’s the type of explosive player who can win a game or more on his own. It’s odd that he’s not been utilized more in the first quarter of Miami’s season.

3. OT/TE Sam Young — 55 percent. Young played mostly tight end early in the game, as the Dolphins dressed only two rookies at the position. Miami’s attempt to be physical with New England never materialized. Young did move to tackle when Ja’Wuan James was removed for unclear reasons late in the game. Rookie Mike Gesicki played 84 percent of snaps, but rookie Durham Smythe played only 4 percent, or, 2 snaps.

4. DB Mo Smith — 32 percent. ?Even without injured Reshad Jones (shoulder) the Dolphins were determined to go with more defensive backs and less linebackers against New England, taking a page from their playbook. Minkah Fitzpatrick and T.J. McDonald didn’t come off the field.

5. LB Jerome Baker — 80 percent. Baker played more than middle linebacker Raekwon McMillan (67 percent) as the Dolphins tried to neutralize Rob Gronkowski and receiving backs like James White and Sony White with increased athleticism at linebacker. The Dolphins became vulnerable to the run, though Baker was active with 10 tackles.
