After each game, Birds’ Eye View will break down the playing time and offer analysis on what it means. After each player’s name is the number of offensive/defensive plays he played, and the percentage of total plays. If there’s a second number and percentage, it is that player’s special teams contribution.

Matt Barkley 35 plays (44%)
Tim Tebow 34 (42%)
Mark Sanchez 11 (14%)
