Over the course of the 2011 season, it was noted that defensive lineman Vince Wilfork had a dramatic spike in playing time. In 2010, Wilfork finished the year at a 69.8 percent playing time clip. By the end of 2011, it was 86.8 percent. Not to be overlooked is the increase in Wilfork’s partner along the interior of the team’s defense, second-year man Kyle Love. He actually spiked higher than Wilfork – from 13.7 percent in 2010 to 50.5 percent in 2011.
