<p>The Audible Gang sets up shop in the basement to talk about a week much improved from the one prior.</p> <p id="SbJyC9">The midway point of the preseason schedule has come and gone, and while last week was one for the record books (certainly not in a good way) the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/washington-redskins">Redskins</a> bounced back nicely in with a win over the <a href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/">Jets</a> thanks to the blessed, and very busy foot of Dustin Hopkins. But the Redskins also made a splash by Winning Off The Field™ by bringing in perhaps one of the greatest running backs of this era, <span>Adrian Peterson</span>, to suit up in the Burgundy and Gold.</p>
<div id="V2F2FY"><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fhogshaven%2Fvideos%2F435548133634198%2F&show_text=0&width=560" width="560" height="315" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div>
<p id="xDnOrn">As a group, we certainly have a tendency to see things through rose-colored glasses around the Basement, somehow this week we’ve found a way to temper expectations of what to expect out of AD (AP?) insofar as he will either not make the team, or he will run for 1000 yards in 2018. Rome wasn’t built in a day.</p>
<p id="7BSUrk">With the not so newly reformatted preseason cut-down schedule, the Redskins can stay at 90 men for another two weeks, and to an extent it takes some of the wind out of the sails of their upcoming third preseason game. However, there is still plenty that we will be watching as they get set to square off against the <a href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Broncos</a>, not the least of which is how their newest tailback performs.</p>
<p id="GpNJMA">Just two weeks left in this season of Offseason On The Brink before After The Whistle comes back to 1st Amendment Sports Basement Podcast Studios. If you pay close enough attention maybe you’ll be able to spot the differences.</p>

<p>A look at the stats and snap counts for every defensive and special teams player on the Redskins in the team’s preseason matchup with the New York Jets</p> <p id="oVzvgY"><strong>Snaps- </strong>The defense took the field for 53 snaps against the New York Jets, which is exactly 20 fewer snaps than they played last week. On those snaps, Greg Manusky used 37 of his 43 defenders.</p>
<p id="HZRszp"><strong>Starter Defense- </strong>Every projected defensive starter, except for Matt Ioannidis, played against the Jets. The majority of that group was on the field for the entirety of the Jets’ first two offensive drives, which lasted a total of 15 combined snaps and 14 offensive plays (1 play negated by penalty).</p>
<p id="rb7df0">New York’s offense did pick up 3 first downs and scored 3 points between those two drives, but they also took 2 sacks and only gained 37 yards of net offense on them, which equates to a yards-per-play average of 2.64.</p>
<p id="NkmfwD">Sam Darnold and the Jets’ first-string O played one more drive after the Redskins’ front-line defenders exited the game. They gained 34 yards and moved the chains twice on the series, but they threw an interception on fourth down that ended the drive.</p>
<p id="iehAxE">In all, the New York offensive starters posted the following stat line: 23 snaps, 22 plays, 71 yards of offense, 1 penalty (-5 yards), 2 sacks (-12 yards), 1 turnover (interception), 3 points and 3.23 yards per play.</p>
<p id="0TJFqw"><strong>Rushing Defense- </strong>The Jets’ starters were only able to muster 7 rushing yards on five carries against the Washington starting defense (1.4 YPC). Only one of those rushes was considered successful (a 2-yard first down), and two of them didn’t gain any yardage at all.</p>
<p id="7akh8C">In total, New York was only able to gain 64 yards on their 22 rushes in the contest (2.91 YPC). Just six of those rushes were successful (27%), and they failed to gain yardage on five of them (23%). The New York ground attack only gained more than 6 yards on two rushes and gained over 9 yards on just one run (an 18-yard run by George Atkinson in the fourth quarter).</p>
<p id="ipYBYF">All told, this was a quality showing for Washington’s rushing defense.</p>
<p id="d7Tzdw"><strong>QB Pressure- </strong>The defense also had a nice day in the pass-rushing department. Manusky’s bunch tallied 4 sacks and 2 QB hits, while pressuring Sam Darnold and Teddy Bridgewater on 15 of their 31 combined dropbacks, which makes for a very impressive 48.4% pressure rate. And on top of all that, one of the Redskins’ two interceptions came on a play in which Darnold was pressured.</p>
<p id="IpPC8R"><strong>3rd and 4th Down- </strong>The Jets went 5-for-12 on the third down (41.7%) and threw the aforementioned interception on their only fourth-down attempt of the night. That gives them a total conversion rate of 38.5% on these all-important downs. </p>
<p id="QS2mrK">On those 13 total plays, New York was sacked three times, lost yardage on a run once and committed a turnover once; basically, they lost yardage or had a negative play on these snaps as often as they converted on them.</p>
<p id="Qrx60d"><strong>Red Zone- </strong>After allowing the Patriots to score on all three of their red-zone trips in last week’s preseason opener, the defense stepped up in this game by only allowing the Jets to go 1-for-3 inside the 20.</p>

<p id="cydbt7"><strong>Jonathan Allen- </strong>The 2017 first-round pick saw live game action for the first time since Week 6 of last season (at 49ers) and played on all 15 snaps with the starting defense.</p>
<p id="DPQg0v">Jon Allen was unable to pressure Sam Darnold on any of his nine pass-rushing snaps, but he did lead all Washington defensive linemen with 3 tackles. Two of those tackles were counted as defensive stops and one of them went for a loss. </p>
<p id="JBdI9x">Allen finished the game with a 40% run-stop rate, which currently ranks first among all defensive linemen who’ve played on at least 5 run-defense snaps. The Redskins’ defense allowed an average of just 88 rushing yards per game in the five contests that Allen played in last year.</p>
<p id="vRWUfj"><strong>Daron Payne</strong><strong>- </strong>The Redskins’ newest first-round defensive linemen from Alabama made his presence known in his NFL debut. </p>
<p id="yhGCPm">He only made a contribution to the stat sheet on one play, but it was a big one. On the Jets’ third play and first third down of the game, Payne overpowered veteran offensive guard Dakota Dozier and took down Sam Darnold for a 7-yard sack. It was very encouraging to see Payne, who only record 3 total sacks (1 unassisted) in his entire college career, sack a quarterback on just his third play in the NFL.</p>
<p id="XkdInw">Payne lined up next to Allen on all 15 snaps with the starters.</p>
<p id="tuFH9Z"><strong>Ziggy Hood</strong><strong>- </strong>All eight of Hood’s snaps came with the starting defense. Of course, he failed to generate any pressure and only recorded one assisted tackle during his time on the field. On a positive note, his tackle did stop the Jets for no gain on the play.</p>
<p id="tas8ZR"><strong>Tim Settle</strong><strong>- </strong>The fifth-round steal out of Virginia Tech continued to impress. Settle recorded an assisted tackle (1-yard gain) and a pass defense on consecutive plays in the second quarter. He was also able to notch a QB hurry as a pass rusher. For much of the game, he went up against former Redskins center Spencer Long, who struggled at times against Settle and was tagged with a subpar 57.4 PFF grade.</p>
<p id="kcNenI"><strong>Anthony Lanier</strong><strong>- </strong>Settle’s fellow second-stringer also played 17 snaps and recorded 1 assist on the night. Lanier, however, was able to generate pressure on not one, but two of his 10 pass-rushing snaps (both hurries).</p>
<p id="wwXodq"><strong>Ondre Pipkins</strong><strong>- </strong>Ondre Pipkins led all Washington D-linemen with 23 snaps. He recorded 3 tackles (2 solo and 1 assist), with two of those tackles coming within 2 yards of the line of scrimmage. Pipkins was, however, unable to disrupt the opposing QB on any of his 13 pass-rushing attempts.</p>
<p id="aLWk7c"><strong>Dante Sawyer</strong><strong>- </strong>Sawyer’s production essentially came in the opposite way that Pipkins’ did. He did not record a traditional stat of any kind, but he was able to score a QB hit in the game.</p>
<p id="uYG8Md"><strong>Jalen Wilkerson- </strong>Wilkerson did not record a single traditional stat or pressure on his 16 defensive snaps. After this performance, it was not surprising to see Wilkerson get waived yesterday.</p>
<p id="Pklrop"><strong>Other Defensive Linemen- </strong>Matt Ioannidis was the only defensive starter who did not play against the Jets. He is still recovering from the leg injuries he suffered in the preseason opener. Phil Taylor and Stacy McGee also missed the contest with injuries.</p>

<p id="LbDPQJ"><strong>Ryan Kerrigan</strong><strong>- </strong>On what was his 30th birthday, Ryan Kerrigan was on the field for 12 of the 15 snaps taken by the defensive starters. He did not record any traditional stats, but was able to register two hurries of Sam Darnold, one of which forced Darnold to throw the ball away.</p>
<p id="cg3be8">Kerrigan is just 11 sacks away from passing Charles Mann (82 career sacks) for second place on the all-time franchise sack rankings. Kerrigan has recorded at least 11 sacks in three of the last four seasons.</p>
<p id="9jEnXj"><strong>Preston Smith</strong><strong>- </strong>Smith also played 12 snaps, and like Daron Payne, he recorded a sack of Sam Darnold on a third down (loss of 5 yards). </p>
<p id="UaJCqR">I’m guessing Preston Smith must love playing next to Jonathan Allen, because doing so seems like it’s going to earn Smith a lot of money. Smith has played a total of eight games with Allen (5 regular season and 3 preseason), and has recorded a sack in six of them (75%). He’s played in 11 games without Allen since the start of the last season and has notched a sack in just three of those contests (27%).</p>
<p id="Lz98Hy">If Allen stays healthy in 2018, and my guess is that he will, then I think the Redskins may be making a Kirk Cousins-esque mistake by waiting to give Preston Smith a new contract until after he blows up.</p>
<p id="AABsox"><strong>Ryan Anderson</strong><strong>- </strong>Anderson led all Redskins front-seven defenders with 25 defensive snaps played on Thursday night, three of which came with the starters. </p>
<p id="gwliVE">It was a career night for the second-year edge rusher, who recorded two tackles (1 solo and 1 assist) and a career-high 3 QB pressures (all hurries). Just to put things in perspective, remember that Anderson had generated a total of 5 pressures in his 16 career games coming into the night (including preseason).</p>
<p id="yB93jw">Anderson’s 72.0 PFF rating for the game ranked fifth on the Redskins’ defense. Perhaps <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/aug/16/ryan-anderson-changes-his-diet-looks-take-leap-red/">changing his diet and body</a> in the offseason is actually paying off.</p>
<p id="LLRsSR"><strong>Pernell McPhee</strong><strong>- </strong>The 29-year old vet lined up opposite Anderson for a total of 9 snaps against the Jets. McPhee couldn’t disrupt the QB on his five rushes and his only tackle of the game came on an 11-yard first down reception. He also missed a tackle in the running game.</p>
<p id="PORqR4">McPhee hasn’t been able to record more than 4 sacks and 21 pressures in each of his last two seasons. The Redskins are going to need McPhee and/or Anderson to step up if they hope to replace the 3 sacks and 37 pressures created by Junior Galette last season.</p>
<p id="ezCTkl"><strong>Cassanova McKinzy</strong><strong>- </strong>Cassanova McKinzy played a dozen defensive snaps against the Jets in Thursday’s game. He did miss a tackle in the game, but he made up for it by recording an assist and a huge, potentially game-saving 2-yard TFL at the goal line. McKinzy also registered a hurry, despite only rushing the QB on three of his snaps.</p>
<p id="yksyDy"><strong>Pete Robertson</strong><strong>- </strong>Robertson made it out onto the field with the defense for 20 snaps. He assisted on a tackle that pushed the Jets back a yard and notched a pair of pressures on his 11 snaps as pass rusher. One of those pressures came on a third-down play, where Robertson hit Teddy Bridgewater, despite being held by Dakota Dozier.</p>
<p id="GRXl5Y">Robertson is tied with Ryan Anderson and Anthony Lanier for the team lead in total QB pressures this preseason (3). He is one of the favorites to capture the final available roster spot on the defense. If he does make the cut, his next goal will be to top the 27 regular season snaps he had on the defense last year.</p>
<p id="vXoDT5"><strong>Dadi Nicolas</strong><strong>- </strong>Nicolas did not make his way onto the stat sheet and was unable to generate any pressure on his 6 defensive snaps in the game.</p>
<p id="RZeiFK"><strong>Vontae Diggs</strong><strong>- </strong>Vontae Diggs saw his snap total drop from 52 last week all the way down to 11 in this game. He wasn’t able to record a traditional stat in the contest. His lone QB pressure of the game was tainted by the fact that Bridgewater made him bite with a pump fake and avoided what should’ve been a relatively easy sack.</p>

<p id="wa4gY6"><strong>Zach Brown</strong><strong>- </strong>Zach Brown donned the Burgundy and Gold for the first time since Week 14 of last year (at Chargers); he was leading the entire league in tackles by a margin of 12 at the conclusion of that week.</p>
<p id="abneTe">Brown played on all 15 of the starter snaps but finished the game with just a single solo tackle to show for it. He was not targeted on any of his eight coverage snaps.</p>
<p id="YObWi0"><strong>Mason Foster- </strong>Mason Foster, who is entering his fourth year as a starting insider backer for the Redskins, also played on all 15 of the first-team snaps. And just like Brown, he finished the game with just one solo tackle to his name. The difference between the two was that Foster was targeted and gave up a 6-yard reception on the play. His 79.5 PFF grade for the game ranked third on the defense.</p>
<p id="OWUyxF"><strong>Shaun Dion Hamilton</strong><strong>- </strong>Hamilton was tied with Ryan Anderson for a team-high 25 snaps by a Washington front-seven player. Unfortunately, he did not play as well as his fellow Bama linebacker did.</p>
<p id="rNrCfD">SDH recorded 3 tackles, two of which were 1-yard stops, but also missed a pair of tackles and gave up a 19-reception to Clive Walford the only time he was targeted. Hamilton did pressure Teddy Bridgewater on a snap, but just as it was with Vontae Diggs, Bridgewater avoided what should’ve been an easy sack for Hamilton and completed the pass for a first down. The Jets scored the game’s only touchdown on the following play.</p>
<p id="yTjPuV">His 42.9 PFF rating ranked third worst among the 37 Washington defenders that played on Thursday night.</p>
<p id="8Z4LaL"><strong>Jerod Fernandez</strong><strong>- </strong>The rookie inside backer filled up the stat sheet against the Jets. On just 19 snaps, he led the team in solo tackles (3), total tackles (6), defensive stops (3) and sacks (2). New York gained a total of just 3 yards on the plays Fernandez made a tackle on.</p>
<p id="UZUBDm">Those are some really nice numbers, but they don’t completely erase the mistakes Fernandez made in the game. He missed a tackle and gave up catches on both targets thrown his way for a combined 36 yards and 2 first downs.</p>
<p id="IkMOVr">If Jerod Fernandez can clean a few things up and finish the preseason out the way he started it, then making the final roster is certainly not outside the realm of possibility for him. </p>
<p id="jhwU1K"><strong>Martrell Spaight</strong><strong>- </strong>Martrell Spaight may not be the most multi-dimensional football player in the world, but he shows flashes of borderline greatness as a tackler, especially in the running game.</p>
<p id="fL4PMF">Spaight only played 13 total and 6 run-defense snaps in the game, yet somehow, he tied Fernandez with a team-high 6 total tackles and led the team with 4 assists and 4 tackles in run defense. </p>
<p id="wFtZpa">He made four those tackles on consecutive third-quarter plays, did not whiff on any tackles and added a solo takedown on special teams. It looks like Spaight is not going to go down without a fight.</p>
<p id="u6bE4C"><strong>Zach Vigil</strong><strong>- </strong>Vigil saw 17 snaps of action against the Jets and recorded 4 tackles on the night (2 solo and 2 assisted). Two of those takedowns were counted as stops and one of them went for a loss. In the four games in which he played over 80% of the defensive snaps in the 2017 regular season, Vigil averaged 11.8 total tackles per game.</p>
<p id="cYJd5t">He did surrender 2 receptions on the 3 targets thrown in his coverage against the Jets, but New York only gained 15 yards and picked up a single first down on those plays. Vigil allowed less than a yard per coverage snap last season (0.90).</p>
<p id="J1uziu"><strong>Jeff Knox</strong><strong>- </strong>Jeff Knox was signed last Saturday. He played 2 snaps, recorded no stats and was given a team-worst 27.0 PFF grade on Thursday. Finally, Knox was waived yesterday. Fin.</p>
<p id="2Ghsky"><strong>Josh Harvey-Clemmons</strong><strong>- </strong>JHC remained sidelined with a hamstring injury.</p>

<p id="0qPtYZ"><strong>Josh Norman</strong><strong>- </strong>As usual, Josh Norman played every snap with the starters. He was not targeted, which is pretty typical, as well. Norman was only targeted one time for every ten coverage snaps he played last season, which is an average that ranked 5th in the NFL last year.</p>
<p id="wgbeon">His 2 solo tackles on Thursday night came on the final two plays of the first quarter.</p>
<p id="JKqW08"><strong>Quinton Dunbar- </strong>With the release of Orlando Scandrick, who signed with Kansas City (AKA former Redskins corner country) today, Quinton Dunbar is now the undisputed starter opposite Josh Norman. He too, was in on all 15 of the starter snaps.</p>
<p id="d8mLhs">Unfortunately, Dunbar’s first showing as the official starter did not go as planned. He gave up 2 first-down receptions that went for a total of 24 yards to Jets’ backup receiver Tre McBride. He made a solo tackle on one of those plays and assisted on another.</p>
<p id="p8HH6C">His 46.5 PFF grade was the lowest rating handed out to a cornerback in the game.</p>
<p id="UEMJvm"><strong>Fabian Moreau</strong><strong>- </strong>The second-year man out of UCLA didn’t start, but also got 15 snaps of work, six of those coming with the starters. Seven of Moreau’s eight coverage snaps came in the slot, where he was targeted twice and gave up 1 reception for a gain of 4 yards. The other pass thrown in his coverage was deflected and picked off by backup safeties Deshazor Everett and Troy Apke, respectively. </p>
<p id="ZMIma7">His lone contribution to the box score was a solo tackle on a 6-yard reception.</p>
<p id="OtPfyQ"><strong>Danny Johnson</strong><strong>- </strong>Danny Johnson was on the field for 16 defensive snaps against the Jets. He worked primarily out of the slot, which is where six of his nine coverage snaps were from. Johnson surrendered 2 receptions on the 3 targets thrown his way, but the Jets gained just 4 total yards and failed to move the chains on those plays.</p>
<p id="szlXCs">One of Johnson’s two solo tackles came on a third-down play where he stopped Robby Anderson a yard short of the line to gain. He knocked the ball out Anderson’s hands at the end of the play, but the would-be forced fumble was negated because the whistle had already been blown.</p>
<p id="nkS7MN"><strong>Greg Strom</strong><strong>an- </strong>Greg Stroman played on a team-high 31 defensive snaps. The seventh-round rookie was only targeted once on his 17 coverage snaps, but he did give up a 13-yard reception on the play.</p>
<p id="bfdZj2">Stroman was even better as a tackler. The Jets only gained a single yard combined on his three tackles (-1, 0 and 2 yards), which gave him a game-high 3 defensive stops on the night. Those plays are big part of the reason he earned a game-best 89.5 PFF grade in run defense.</p>
<p id="9rWki2"><strong>Ranthony Texada</strong><strong>- </strong>After an impressive performance last week against the Patriots, Texada’s play regressed in his 27-snap game against New York. The rookie DB missed a tackle and both of the tackles he did make came after the Jets had picked up a first down. </p>
<p id="wxubGe">More importantly, Teddy Bridgewater completed all three of the passes he threw into Texada’s coverage for a total of 39 yards and 3 first downs, both of which were team worsts. Yes, that is correct, Texada was targeted three times and gave up a first down on every one of those plays.</p>
<p id="PeqLGV"><strong>Prince Charles Iworah</strong><strong>- </strong>Your royal highness, Prince Charles Iworah, did not allow a reception on his 10 coverage snaps (15 total snaps) and intercepted the only pass thrown into his coverage. Iworah earned the highest PFF grade in the game (91.1) for the performance.</p>
<p id="YrWaIw"><strong>Darius Hillary- </strong>Hillary was signed to the roster yesterday. The third-year corner is now on his fourth NFL team. He’s only seen regular season action on a total of 7 special teams snaps.</p>
<p id="2cq0Jm"><strong>Other Cornerbacks- </strong>The Redskins’ final pick in the 2017 draft, Joshua Holsey, is still on the Active/Non-Football Injury List after injuring his foot on a table. Holsey’s former teammate at VA Tech, Adonis Alexander, sat out with a hamstring injury. </p>

</table></div>
<p id="eKe1a7"><strong>D.J. Swearinger</strong><strong>- </strong>Swearinger suited up despite missing some practice time this past week and played both drives that the starting defense was out there for. He was targeted twice and allowed receptions of 9 and 2 yards. His only tackle of the night came on the 2-yard catch he allowed, which happened to take place on the Jets’ first play from scrimmage.</p>
<p id="qOc2kk">We can only imagine what could’ve been if former teammate and current nemesis, Terrelle Pryor, had played in this game. Alas, <a href="https://twitter.com/TandlerNBCS/status/1029404261191434240">Pryor wanted no part of Swearinger and the Redskins</a>.</p>
<p id="CbgV5A"><strong>Montae Nicholson- </strong>Nicholson also started and played for 15 snaps. He was not targeted and did not record any stats in the game. He would not have shown up in the play-by-play data if he did not commit an offsides penalty on a New York extra point.</p>
<p id="PTuHX4"><strong>Deshazor Everett</strong><strong>- </strong>The former cornerback only played 8 snaps, but he was able to help make one of the biggest plays of the game on one of those snaps. Everett tipped up a fourth-down pass inside the Redskins’ red zone and set teammate Troy Apke up to make a sliding interception on what would end up being Sam Darnold’s final play of the night. Everett’s 85.1 Pro Football Focus grade for the game ranked second on the Skins’ defense.</p>
<p id="ymGB6u">Everett made 8 starts and played 589 defensive snaps last season, after not starting once and only getting 76 snaps of work on defense in his first two years in the league combined.</p>
<p id="dR4pop"><strong>Troy Apke</strong><strong>- </strong>His interception of Darnold was just his fourth takeaway since high school; he only had two picks and a fumble recovery while at Penn State. This was also Apke’s second pass defense of the exhibition season, which is only four fewer PDs than he had in his entire four years as a Nittany Lion.</p>
<p id="L5jlUN">Apke did more than just intercept that one pass, though. He recorded 1 solo and 2 assisted tackles in the game (3 total), as well. Unfortunately, he added a missed tackle to his stat line, too.</p>
<p id="Laqhhx">Apke led the Washington safety corps in defensive snaps, with 22 of them on the night.</p>
<p id="71LjaI"><strong>Fish Smithson- </strong>This was not a great showing from Fish Smithson. He missed a tackle and committed a lowering-the-helmet-penalty on a third down in Redskins territory. He did, at least, make tackles on special teams and defense on back-to-back plays to start the fourth quarter. Smithson’s PFF grade of 30.2 ranked dead last among Washington players who took more than 2 snaps in the game.</p>
<p id="ipu4UD">Smithson hasn’t played horrible football this August, but he also hasn’t performed at the same level that he did at this time last year.</p>
<p id="AaBS7i"><strong>Quin Blanding</strong><strong>- </strong> The UDFA safety from Virginia saw the field for 15 snaps against New York. All of his 4 tackles (2 solo and 2 assisted) came on one drive, with three of them actually occurring on consecutive plays. Two of those four takedowns were counted as defensive stops. He was not targeted in the passing game.</p>
<p id="dcrqu7">Blanding hasn’t made any big mistakes this preseason, but then again, he hasn’t made any big plays either. That might be good enough to earn him a spot on the practice squad, but he’ll need to do a lot more if he wants to put himself in contention to make the final 53 on cutdown day.</p>
<p id="v6tbfk"><strong>Kenny Ladler</strong><strong>- </strong>The same thing goes for Ladler, who was relatively quiet on his 13 snaps. He was credited with an assisted tackle on defense and special teams and was not targeted on his 8 coverage snaps.</p>

<p id="VFKbXx"><strong>Snaps- </strong>Ben Kotwica’s special teams unit utilized 57 of the 87 active players on the roster (29 defense, 25 offense and 3 specialists) over the course of 24 snaps. </p>
<p id="vR20bP">For the second straight game, OLB Vontae Diggs led the team in specials snaps (12). Jerod Fernandez, Garrett Hudson and Kenny Ladler were right behind him with 11 special teams snaps a piece.</p>
<p id="3yYQ73"><strong>Kick Coverage- </strong>Diggs made a solo tackle that shut down a Jets’ kickoff return at their own 22-yard line, Shay Fields assisted on the play. Tackling machine Martrell Spaight added a solo teams stop of his own at the New York 20.</p>
<p id="Rd2ZCM">Matt Flanagan and Nick Sundberg made solo tackles on Jets’ punt returns that ended at the 35 and 33-yard lines, respectively. Backup safeties Fish Smithson and Kenny Ladler combined to end a 2-yard punt return at the 29-yard line. </p>
<p id="musXrh">PFF gave Ladler a game-high 90.2 special teams grade. He currently leads the Redskins with 2 total special teams tackles in the preseason (1 solo and 1 assist).</p>
<p id="4GqFv8"><strong>Tress Way</strong><strong>- </strong>All four of Tress Way’s punts took place in the second half of Thursday night’s game, with three of them coming in the fourth quarter. His punts traveled a total of 184 yards (46-yard average). Three of them were returned for a total of 19 yards (41.3 net average). Way was only able to pin the Jets inside of their own 20 once, but that was because three of his four punts were kicked at or inside of the Redskins’ 31-yard line.</p>
<p id="BewzaM"><strong>Dustin Hopkins- </strong>Hopkins connected on all five of his field goal attempts and scored all 15 of Washington’s points in the game. He connected from distances of 22, 35, 36, 26 and 40 yards out. The 40-yarder was a game winner that sailed through the uprights as time expired. He was technically perfect on field goals, but it should be noted that his 35-yarder was the beneficiary of a lucky bounce off the right upright.</p>
<p id="TQPAGt">Hopkins kicked the ball off four times in the game. He booted one touchback and pinned the Jets inside their own 25-yard line with the aid of his coverage unit twice. His lone true blemish was a kickoff that rolled out of bounds at the New York 2-yard line. His mistake set Sam Darnold and the Jets’ first-team offense up at the 40-yard line, on a drive in which they would score their first 3 points of the night.</p>
<p id="GlSe1T"><strong>Kickoff Returns- </strong>Byron Marshall and Darvin Kidsy split kickoff return duties; Kapri Bibbs was also back deep on one kickoff.</p>
<p id="i5EDOU">Marshall let the game’s opening kickoff bounce out of bounds for a touchback. He returned the next kickoff 20 yards out to the 25-yard line. The play was initially ruled a fumble, but that call was reversed upon review. Marshall was injured on the third play of the ensuing offensive drive. Darvin Kidsy replaced Marshall as the primary kickoff return man after that.</p>
<p id="QD35RL">Kidsy foolishly returned the pair of kickoffs he caught two yards and a yard deep in the end zone. His returns on the plays went for 11 and 18 yards, but because of where he caught them, he only made it out to the Washington 9 and 17-yard lines on those respective returns. He basically cost the team 24 yards of field position by not simply taking a knee on both returns.</p>
<p id="dde18J">The Redskins have yet to return a kickoff past their own 25-yard line this preseason.</p>
<p id="PTmuXK"><strong>Punt Returns- </strong>Danny Johnson returned the Jets’ first punt 4 yards out to the 32, but because he was horse collared on the play, the Redskins’ offense ended up with incredible starting field position at the 47-yard line. The ensuing drive ended with, you guessed it, a Dustin Hopkins’ field goal.</p>
<p id="vHW4Qm">Mr. Irrelevant himself, Trey Quinn, operated as the team’s punt returner on the final three New York punts of the game. He wisely let the first punt he saw bounce into the end zone for a touchback. Quinn caught the next one at the 10-yard line and returned it 22 yards out to the 32. He gained 6 yards on a second return that set the Redskins up at the 40-yard line.</p>
<p id="N2jNLw">Two punt returns for 28 yards (14 yards per return) is not bad for a guy who took his six college punt returns for a total of just 20 yards (3.3 yards per return).</p>

<p>A look at the stats and snap counts for every offensive player on the Redskins in the team’s preseason matchup with the New York Jets</p> <p id="hYtjmh"><strong>Snaps</strong>- Gruden utilized 33 of his 43 offensive players over the course of 64 snaps. Nine of the 11 offensive starters played in the game, with Trent Williams and Jamison Crowder being the two exceptions.</p>
<p id="kao8PW"><strong>Starter Results- </strong>Alex Smith and the other offensive starters who suited up, played for just one drive and 10 snaps. They did, however, move the ball 71 yards down the field (56 yards of offense), pick up 4 first downs and score 3 points on that lone series.</p>
<p id="cEfpU4">The Jets’ defensive starters played for 3 drives and 23 snaps. The Redskins’ first and second stringers combined to gain 147 yards (6.68 yards per play), record 8 first downs and score 3 points against New York’s top-line defenders on those snaps.</p>
<p id="b0dEZo"><strong>Penalties</strong>- The offense was responsible for four of the team’s five accepted penalties and 25 of their 32 penalty yards. All four penalties were committed on different drives, and the offense scored just 3 points on those series. </p>
<p id="18IJaF"><strong>3rd Down</strong>- The Redskins converted just three first downs and posted a third-down conversion rate below 30% for the second straight week. This time around they went 3-for-11 (27.3%) on the money down. Three is also the number of times that the quarterback was sacked (2) or the offense committed a penalty (1) on third down. </p>
<p id="Tlmw8d">McCoy was responsible for two of the conversions and Smith picked up the other one; Kevin Hogan didn’t convert on a single third down.</p>
<p id="qvP4og"><strong>Red Zone- </strong>The Skins failed to reach the paint on any of their four trips to the red zone and instead had to settle for field goals on each drive. Washington was clearly the better team, and this would have been reflected on the scoreboard if the offense had been more successful in the red area. Instead, they had to settle for a last-second field goal in order to pull off the 2-point victory.</p>
<p id="bJwqgh"><strong>Rushing</strong>- The Redskins gained 97 yards on their 24 rushes, which gave them an average of 4.04 yards per carry. The team would’ve topped 100 yards on the ground for the second consecutive week if they had not lost 7 yards on a failed wide receiver reverse. </p>
<p id="BbWQln">What they did actually do for the second straight week was to only move the chain four times in the rushing game. Only four of their rushes gained 5 or more yards, while they lost or failed to gain any yardage on six occasions. Finally, you can’t totally discount the team’s two rushes of 30-plus yards, but it should be acknowledged that they were only able to muster a total of 31 yards on their other 22 rushes (1.41 YPC).</p>

<p id="QLtDk5"><strong>Alex Smith- </strong>Alex Smith finally made his debut as a Redskin on Thursday night. As usual, Smith avoided mistakes (no interceptions, sacks or penalties) and showcased his brand of solid, if unspectacular, football on his lone drive of the game (10 snaps).</p>
<p id="x69iF1">He completed 4 of his 6 pass attempts (66.7%) for 48 yards (8.0 Y/A) and 3 first downs; the Skins starters’ other first down on the drive was the result of a roughing the passer penalty committed against Smith. Smith’s passer rating would’ve jumped from 91.0 all the way up to 142.4 had he and Trey Quinn been able to sync up for a touchdown on the final play of the drive.</p>
<p id="0uGSMZ">Washington’s newest signal caller also went 2-for-2 on play action passes and passes thrown under pressure. He completed one of the two passes that he threw 10 or more yards in the air.</p>
<p id="iDG27u"><strong>Colt McCoy</strong><strong>- </strong>It was yet another productive preseason outing for Colt McCoy, who went 12-for-16 (75%), threw for 140 yards (8.75 Y/A) and picked up 7 first downs on those passes (43.8% first down rate). </p>
<p id="qWXQP9">McCoy’s numbers would’ve been even better if two of his attempts had not been dropped; his interception was a direct result of one of those drops. He was also sacked once, but only lost a yard on the play, and the Redskins were still able to hit a field goal on the very next play.</p>
<p id="ymoGx3">In what amounts to roughly a regular season games worth of work (65 snaps and 34 attempts) between Washington’s two preseason games, McCoy has posted the following line: 329 passing yards, 15 first downs, 2 touchdowns, 1 interception, 73.5% completion percentage, 9.7 yards per attempt and a 110.0 passer rating.</p>
<p id="j5N5ya"><strong>Kevin Hogan- </strong>Relative to what he showed against the Patriots, Kevin Hogan made something of a leap forward in this game, although that’s not saying much considering how poorly he played last week.</p>
<p id="8oq4lO">After not picking up a single first down or finding success of any kind on a single play in the preseason opener, he actually picked up 3 first-downs (2 passing and 1 rushing) over the course of his 25 snaps of action in this contest. However, it should be noted that all three of those chain movers came on the final drive of the game. Hogan’s efforts on that drive were instrumental in setting up the team’s game-winning 40-yard field goal. Per the telecast, this was his first game-winning drive since he led Stanford to a late win over Notre Dame in 2015. <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/redskins/2018-washington-redskins-53-man-roster-projection-20#slide-2">Per Rich Tandler</a>, outside of that series, Hogan has only been able to lead the Redskins’ offense to 89 net yards of offense in his nine other preseason drives combined.</p>
<p id="8GY8vC">Hogan finished the night with 58 yards on 11 passing attempts and 7 completions (5.27 Y/A and 63.6% completion rate). He was sacked once for 0 yards and gained 5 rushing yards on a scramble; his other rush (13 yards) was negated by a holding penalty.</p>
<p id="6ZpZdS">The most distressing thing about Hogan’s performance is that he put up these pedestrian numbers, despite not being pressured on any of his 13 dropbacks.</p>
<p id="ekGjN0">Again, Kevin Hogan showed some improvement in this game, but he will need to do a lot more than this if he wants to get back in striking range of earning a spot on the final 53.</p>

</table></div>
<p id="k104ZY"><strong>Josh Doctson- </strong>The former first-round pick played on all 10 snaps with the starters and on the following four-play series with Colt McCoy and the second string. Doctson corralled a third-down pass from Alex Smith for a gain of 11 yards on his only target. This will be a make-or-break season for the 25, going on 26-year-old wideout.</p>
<p id="aAmKL2"><strong>Paul Richardson- </strong>Richardson also played every snap with Alex Smith and the starters, but unlike Doctson, he exited the game after that. He was used in a variety of different alignments, including out of the backfield on the first play, when he caught the first pass of the game for a gain of 9 yards.</p>
<p id="3sMHMU">The Redskins made Richardson the sixth highest paid player on the team this past offseason ($8M APY). That is a lot of money for a player with just one 1,000-yard season in his entire football career (high school, college and the NFL). P-Rich will need to reward this faith in him if the Redskins’ offense is going to take a major step forward this year.</p>
<p id="LwW7VJ"><strong>Cam Sims- </strong>Cam<strong> </strong>Sims led the team in receiving yards (57), yards from scrimmage (57), first downs (3) and yards per route run (3.35) for the second straight week. Sims’ final catch of the night was a 20-yarder which set the team up to make the game-winning field goal as time expired. In addition to all of that, he caught a spectacular 8-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone, but it was negated by an illegal formation penalty. His 87.6 PFF grade ranked first among all offensive players on the team with more than five snaps played.</p>
<p id="QNnGkj">It wasn’t all roses for Sims, though. He failed to haul in a would-be back-shoulder touchdown pass and dropped a pass that ended up bouncing off his chest into the waiting arms of Jets safety Doug Middleton, who would return the pick 39 yards from the New York 7 almost out to midfield.</p>
<p id="FVnEoR">Cam Sims currently ranks fourth in total preseason receiving yards (131 yards) and leads all players with at least five targets in yards per route run (5.46). He ranks second among all backs and receivers with at least five targets in PFF grade (92.1). It’s getting harder and harder to imagine Sims not making the final roster.</p>
<p id="V0eUYi"><strong>Brian Quick- </strong>If Sims does make the team, then that would likely leave veteran Brian Quick on the outside looking in. Quick played 24 snaps, but only caught one ball for a 13-yard first down. It was an easy catch for Quick, who caught the ball two yards behind the lin eof scrimmage on a rollout play.</p>
<p id="AkCAFJ">Quick does not bring much as a special teamer (105 ST snaps and 3 ST tackles in his career) and he’s only caught 35 passes for 348 yards in his last 25 total contests (preseason and regular season). This gives him averages of 1.4 receptions and 13.9 receiving yards per game in that span. He will likely need to produce in the final two preseason games if he wants to stick around for another season.</p>
<p id="Ibl5Iz"><strong>Trey Quinn- </strong>After being limited to just 11 snaps last week due to an injury, Trey Quinn tied for most snaps by a Washington skill-position player in the game (33 snaps). He was out there for 50% of snaps taken by Alex Smith and the starting offense (5-of-10 snaps).</p>
<p id="oVeLGw">Quinn caught 3 of his 4 targets for 36 yards and 2 first downs, but it was the catch he didn’t make that stood out. He was unable to bring in what would have been a 4-yard TD toss from Alex Smith on the final offensive play of the opening drive.</p>
<p id="1KLyzN"><strong>Simmie Cobbs- </strong>The big-bodied (6’3” and 220 lbs.) rookie out of Indiana caught both of his targets for a total of 14 yards and 1 first down. Jay Gruden also dialed up a wide receiver reverse for Cobbs, who promptly lost 7 yards on the rush. Cobbs is only averaging 0.57 yards per route run, the third worst figure on the team. I expected a bit more from a player who has a 1,000-yard season in the Big Ten on his resume.</p>
<p id="THmiij"><strong>Shay Fields- </strong>Shay Fields played 21 snaps but wasn’t targeted until the final minute of the contest, when he was thrown to on back-to-back plays. Fields couldn’t bring in the first pass, but caught the second one for a gain of 5 yards. Unfortunately, that was essentially the only contribution he’s made this preseason. Fields’ lowly 0.22 yards-per-route-run average ranks dead last on the team.</p>
<p id="yMNAUW"><strong>Darvin Kidsy</strong><strong>- </strong>Kidsy took 19 snaps with the offense and caught one of his three targets for 21 yards. That reception came on the first play of the Redskins’ game-winning-drive.<strong> </strong>He also operated as the primary return man on two of the team’s three kickoff returns.</p>
<p id="4WLSEl"><strong>Allenzae Staggers-</strong> The UDFA out of Southern Miss was just signed to the roster. He tallied 107 receptions for 1,636 yards and 12 touchdowns during his two-year stint as a member of the Golden Eagles. Before that, he amassed 66 receptions for 875 yards and 11 scores at junior college.</p>
<p id="jf5iFJ"><strong>Jamison Crowder- </strong>Crowder was one of the few Washington starters who did not suit up for this game. He is currently battling a groin injury.</p>
<p id="s4lbRQ"><strong>Maurice Harris</strong><strong>- </strong>Moe Harris sat this one out because of an ankle injury. I suppose <a href="https://twitter.com/Matthew_Paras/status/1026114730967134210">his exploits</a> in this past week’s practices against the Jets will have to do.</p>
<p id="oUtiIx"><strong>Dan Williams- </strong>When the Redskins placed Robert Davis on injured reserve this past Monday, they signed Dan Williams in a corresponding move. The 6’3” 200-pounder out of Jacksonville State did not sniff the field on Thursday and figures to be nothing more than camp fodder.</p>

</table></div>
<p id="cRxInO"><strong>Vernon Davis- </strong>The Redskins’ oldest player suited up for the first time in what will be his 14th NFL season. Davis played on 8 of the 10 snaps taken by Alex Smith and the rest of the offensive starters. He caught his only target of the night for a 16-yard first down. Fellow freak tight end, Travis Kelce, is the only player who has caught more passes from Alex Smith than Vernon Davis has.</p>
<p id="H2ity0"><strong>Jeremy Sprinkle</strong><strong>- </strong>Sprinkle started alongside Davis and took 7 of his 25 snaps with the first-team offense. He was not targeted on any of his 12 passing snaps and was used as a run blocker on the vast majority of his other plays.</p>
<p id="cDCw3C"><strong>Matt Flanagan- </strong>Matt Flanagan led the tight end corps with 33 snaps played against the Jets. He caught one of his two targets for 5 yards and dropped the other one. Flanagan’s 40.0 PFF grade ranked second worst among the 33 players who took offensive snaps for the Redskins in this game.</p>
<p id="CdwbkJ"><strong>Garrett Hudson</strong><strong>-</strong> The rookie tight end only played 8 snaps on Thursday night. He was not targeted in the game and has yet to have a ball thrown his way this preseason. Hudson spent five of his eight snaps against the Jets as a run blocker.</p>
<p id="xY18Vp"><strong>J.P. Holtz</strong><strong>-</strong> This was the first appearance with the team for the third-year tight end from Pittsburgh. Holtz only played five offensive snaps, but he made the most out of his limited opportunity. He made the key block on Samaje Perine’s 30-yard rush and earned the highest PFF grade among Washington offensive players in the game (89.5). He was used as a blocker in the running game on all five of his snaps.</p>
<p id="f8iYUt"><strong>Jordan Reed- </strong>Reed has played in Week 3 of the preseason every year since 2015. He also hasn’t played in any other week of the preseason in that span, so I guess, why change things now? In case you’re wondering, Reed averaged 30 snaps played a 41% snap rate across those three games.</p>

<p id="ZqCs15"><strong>Robert Kelley- </strong>Rob Kelley was your starting running back for the second straight week, and he was on the field for 9 of the 10 snaps taken by the first-team offense. Kelley took his final 3 snaps of the night with Colt McCoy and the other backups.</p>
<p id="AjQaJv">Once again, his production left a lot to be desired, as he gained just 17 yards on his 7 carries (2.4 YPC). He did not move the chains once as a rusher and only one of his seven rushes was considered successful. His longest gain of the night was 4 yards, which is just a yard shy of his 2018 preseason long of 5 yards. </p>
<p id="Sm21f5">Here’s Kelley’s rushing numbers through two weeks of preseason action: 11 carries, 23 yards, 2.1 YPC, 1 first down, 9.1% first-down rate, 0 touchdowns, 2 successful rushes, 18.2% success rate.</p>
<p id="wY4JhL">This isn’t a new problem, either. In his 10 total appearances last season (7 regular season and 3 preseason), Kelley rushed for more than 30 yards and/or averaged better than 3.30 yards per carry just twice, and one of those games came in the preseason. The soon-to-be 26-year-old has gained 100 or more yards from scrimmage just once in his entire NFL career and twice in college.</p>
<p id="IjfIMI">He was at least able to save a little face on Thursday night by taking an Alex Smith pass for a 13-yard first down (the 10th receiving first down of his career). That reception set the Redskins up in the red zone.</p>
<p id="LQzqqT"><strong>Samaje Perine</strong><strong>- </strong>Samaje Perine came in and smashed Rob Kelley’s entire preseason rushing total on his first carry of the game. Perine was given a big hole to run through and he made the most of it by gaining 30 yards on the rush, which ended up being tied for the second longest play of the game. The run was tied for the longest play of Perine’s career.</p>
<p id="CKAlsz">Unfortunately, that was also Samaje Perine’s only carry of the night, as he twisted his ankle at the end of the run. The injury will likely sideline him for the rest of the preseason.</p>
<p id="HdwODL"><strong>Byron Marshall</strong><strong>- </strong>The injury bug plagued the Redskins’ running back corps yet again, as Byron Marshall also suffered sprained ankle. His injury occurred on just his second offensive touch (third touch overall) of the game. He is expected to miss about twice as much time as Perine is (2 to 4 weeks).</p>
<p id="pElESl">Marshall only gained a single yard on his two rushes, which gives him a total of just 3 yards on 4 preseason carries. Like with Kelley, this is a recurring problem for the third-year receiving back out of Oregon. Marshall has only gained more than 42 rushing yards once in his NFL career (56 yards in Week 4 of the 2017 preseason) and the longest run of his entire pro career went for just 12 yards.</p>
<p id="5nZ89K">He took one snap with the starters and was not targeted on the night.</p>
<p id="a0eVJW">At this point, Marshall, who looked like a roster lock last week, could easily lose his spot to Kapri Bibbs.</p>
<p id="cPATZ8"><strong>Kapri Bibbs- </strong>Bibbs played more snaps in this game than the rest of the running backs on the team did combined (35 to 29), which marks the second consecutive week that he led the RB corps in snaps.</p>
<p id="51ZLjN">After impressing as a runner against the Patriots, he only gained 6 yards on his 5 rushes this week; however, two of those runs were successful and one picked up a first down. He broke a pair of tackles in the running game, as well.</p>
<p id="rlK78T">Bibbs did most of his damage through the air. He caught 7 of his 8 targets against the Jets on Thursday night. Both of those numbers are preseason highs for a Redskins player, and the reception total actually more than doubles the next highest mark (3 receptions). He gained 47 yards on those catches, with 29 of those yards coming on a screen pass.</p>
<p id="BwqoOr">He also excelled as a pass blocker by not allowing a single pressure on his 9 pass-blocking snaps (12-for-12 in the preseason).</p>
<p id="fSd654"><strong>Martez Carter- </strong>It was rookie Martez Carter, and not Perine or Bibbs, who had the longest play of the game. On one of his 11 snaps, Carter made a couple of nifty cuts en route to a gain of 33 yards on the ground. That rush came just after Carter picked up 9 yards on what was the first NFL carry of his career. Unfortunately, the diminutive rookie (5’7” and 195 lbs.) was only able to gain 3 yards over the course of his final five rushes in the game. </p>
<p id="ZEWuKs">He finished the night with 7 attempts, a game-high 45 rushing yards, 2 successful runs, 1 first down and a 6.4-yard rushing average. </p>
<p id="AYqkgH">Unfortunately, Carter’s first NFL game of 2018 was also his last. He was injured in the game and waived with an injury designation today. The Redskins’ running back depth is currently frighteningly thin. Expect the team to sign a new back in the coming days.</p>
<p id="K4pqKk">The team is reportedly bringing in veteran Orleans Darkwa for a workout on Sunday.</p>

<p id="RWzGjv"><strong>Offensive Line (Team)- </strong>The Redskins’ line play was by no means outstanding in this game, but it was far better than what we saw last week against New England. </p>
<p id="jGdHt6">Washington’s passers were sacked twice, but the team only lost 1 combined yard on those plays and both sacks came on scrambles. No offensive linemen were credited with a sack allowed on either play. The trio of Smith, McCoy and Hogan were only pressured on 6 of their 36 combined dropbacks in the game (16.7%).</p>
<p id="xyW6zj">There was also an improvement in the run-blocking, as the team’s running backs averaged 2.27 yards before contact per attempt (1.35 last week).</p>
<p id="WGoFRQ">On the downside, linemen were responsible for committing three of the offense’s four penalties (20 of the 25 offensive penalty yards). </p>
<p id="lr6cwx"><strong>The Regular Starters- </strong>The entire starting offensive line, sans Trent Williams, played on Thursday night; however, they were only out there for a drive and 10 snaps.</p>
<p id="s0mZS5">Left guard Shawn Lauvao suited up for the first time since Week 11 of last season (at New Orleans). He picked up where he left off by allowing a QB hit on one of his six pass-blocking snaps.</p>
<p id="rlr1fB">Fellow starters Chase Roullier, Brandon Scherff and Morgan Moses didn’t allow any pressures or commit any penalties. Moses earned the highest PFF grade by an offensive lineman on the team (72.2).</p>
<p id="klF7ro"><strong>Geron Christian- </strong>Geron Christian started in place of Trent Williams and Ty Nsekhe at left tackle and played all 64 offensive snaps. Christian was the only player in the contest who was in on every snap, and he led all players in snaps from scrimmage (offensive and/or defensive snaps) and total snaps (offensive + defensive + special teams snaps). </p>
<p id="45TEXx">This, however, was yet another case of preseason playing time not being an indicator of success. Christian surrendered 3 pressures (all hurries) and was penalized for a false start. His 33.8 PFF grade for the game ranked dead last among Washington offensive players.</p>
<p id="eC1c0D"><strong>Isaiah Williams- </strong>Williams took over at right guard when the starters went out and he stayed there for the remainder of the game (54 snaps). He didn’t allow any pressures for the second straight week and combined with Kapri Bibbs to shut down Doug Middleton’s 39-yard interception return.</p>
<p id="6CHR3a"><strong>Kyle Kalis</strong><strong>- </strong>Kyle Kalis manned the right guard spot for 39 snaps against the Jets. Unfortunately for him, his showing in this game was only mildly better than his abysmal performance last week against the Patriots. </p>
<p id="QLVQlS">He didn’t commit any penalties this time around (3 in New England), but he did allow a hit and a hurry as a pass-blocker. Pro Football Focus gave him an absolutely horrid 15.6 pass-blocking rating and an overall grade of 42.3; those figures ranked worst and third worst on the offense, respectively. </p>
<p id="yzfe31"><strong>Tony Bergstrom- </strong>Backup center Tony Bergstrom didn’t have a particularly good night, either. He committed a holding penalty that negated a 13-yard Kevin Hogan run on third down and earned subpar marks from PFF as both a pass (43.4) and a run blocker (58.7).</p>
<p id="055vo5"><strong>John Kling- </strong>John Kling took over the right tackle spot after Morgan Moses departed. Like Bergstrom, he played the next 39 offensive snaps of the game. Not allowing a single pressure on his 21 pass-blocking snaps is a big part of the reason he was given a team-best 82.3 pass-blocking grade. </p>
<p id="PUQdf6">Kling didn’t fare nearly as well as a run blocker (51.0), but he did make a key block on Samaje Perine’s 30-yard run.</p>
<p id="JhIFuZ"><strong>Third-Team Offensive Line- </strong>Casey Dunn, Demetrius Rhaney and Timon Parris were the last O-linemen to come off the bench. They played the final 15 snaps of the game at center, right guard and right tackle, respectively. The majority of their work came as blockers in the passing game (12 snaps). </p>
<p id="xEQKqN">None of them allowed any pressures, but Parris was flagged for a false start penalty.</p>
<p id="kT3cxK"><strong>Kendall Calhoun- </strong>The former Cincinnati Bearcat was signed to the roster today.</p>
<p id="dEcach"><strong>Other Offensive Linemen- </strong>Trent Williams was the only projected starting offensive linemen who didn’t play for the Skins on Thursday night. He and Ty Nsekhe, Tyler Catalina, T.J. Clemmings and Cameron Jefferson all stayed on the sidelines for this game.</p>

<figcaption>Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>Mark Tyler gives you his Studs and Duds of the Redskins game against the Jets on Thursday night.</p> <p id="wI7Ya8">First of all, let me just say this was one hell of a boring game to watch. But second, we appeared to come out of the game with no major injuries - so that in itself was big.<strong> </strong></p>
<p id="HUEfZk"></p>
<p id="ZHwx2D">My guess was that these two teams were sick of seeing each other after the week of joint practices, and just wanted it to end. </p>
<p id="oiwl6M"></p>
<p id="mtVrJs">Below are my Studs and Duds of the game, followed up by some notes. </p>
<p id="VxhB6v"></p>
<h2 id="UT79Em"><strong>Studs:</strong></h2>
<p id="0slQet"><span><strong>Cam Sims</strong></span> - This is a bit of a tough one, because Sims dropped one that hit him right in the hands, leading to an interception, BUT, I look at how these young guys bounce back after a mistake, and I felt Sims did an excellent job of putting that behind him, and moving forward. The touchdown that got called back for an illegal formation was simply an amazing effort. We saw his route running ability, length, hands and toughness all on that play. If that doesn’t excite <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/washington-redskins">Redskins</a> fans about our undrafted rookie, I don’t know what does. Should he have made the catch on the fade the next play - maybe, but the DB did a nice job of getting a hand in there as well. He made an outstanding catch on a back-shoulder pass to put the Redskins into field goal range with four seconds left in the game. Sims had three catches for 57 yards on the night. You can contest this rating, but to me, he was impressive. </p>
<p id="agFzut"></p>
<p id="ZtcZIM"><strong>Da'Ron Payne/</strong><span><strong>Jonathan Allen</strong></span> - The duo was simply un-blockable Thursday night. It’s going to be a fun season watching these two!</p>
<p id="v1zdGs"></p>
<p id="2bCA2l"><span><strong>Trey Quinn</strong></span> - Trey Quinn is as advertised folks! He showed good route running ability, solid hands, and the ability to come away with the ball in traffic and on contested catches. I didn’t like the route he ran at the goalline on the slant, as I though that could have been a bit crisper, and broken that more shallow across the corner’s face...but he’s a rookie; he’ll learn. Otherwise, a very solid night for Mr. Irrelevant, who also added a nice punt return in the second half. </p>
<p id="fZPEPF"></p>
<p id="WpDADb"><span><strong>Kapri Bibbs</strong></span> - Bibbs couldn’t really get it going on the ground behind our reserve offensive line, but he showed how dangerous he could be in the passing game, hauling in seven receptions for 47 yards. He had a beautiful 29 yard catch-and-run in the first quarter. He did run hard, and was able to fight for some yards after contact despite the lack of holes opened up by the line. he had a great blitz pick-up on the Skins last scoring drive to end the game. </p>
<p id="WrWdkS"></p>
<p id="ly1WAQ"><span><strong>Martez Carter</strong></span> - Carter broke off some nice runs, making something out of nothing when the blocking was less-than-stellar. He showed nice speed to get to the outside and a devastating jump-cut. </p>
<p id="nJYghm"></p>
<p id="B2sAMS"><span><strong>Cassanova McKinzy</strong></span> - Let’s keep this in perspective - McKinzy was playing against the <a href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/">Jets</a> reserves. That being said, he looked outstanding. He was explosive, relentless and made some big plays - none bigger that his tackle for loss at the goal line late in the game. He may not make the Redskins 53 man roster, but this guy has a place in the league. </p>
<p id="9JrMcs"></p>
<p id="gYWF9s"><span><strong>Dustin Hopkins</strong></span> - Although he hit the upright on a pretty easy field goal attempt, he was a perfect 5-5 on the night, and hit the game winner as time expired. </p>
<p id="PVSLBS"></p>
<h2 id="vSs7JC"><strong>Duds:</strong></h2>
<p id="JKEOzn"><span><strong>Tony Bergstrom</strong></span> - Bergstrom did not look good at center, even against some of the Jets reserve defensive linemen. He gave up a lot of interior pressure on passing plays, and generated almost zero push up the middle when the Skins tried to run the ball. A very poor showing by the veteran. He was also called for holding late in the third quarter when he and Kalis didn’t communicate well in pass pro. </p>
<p id="om9YUF"></p>
<p id="APw0RK"><span><strong>Ryan Anderson</strong></span><strong>/</strong><span><strong>Pernell McPhee</strong></span> - Neither player did much of anything when they were out on the field (and Anderson was playing late in the game against the Jets second and third teamers). <span>McPhee</span> missed a tackle in the backfield, and Anderson struggled in coverage when he was asked to drop. </p>
<p id="UoZ2pb"></p>
<p id="cPcNy7"><span><strong>Fish Smithson</strong></span> - He was not good in coverage, and not good at making tackles in space, and this is against reserves. Smithson was called for lowering the head in the fourth quarter, which resulted in a 15 yard penalty. </p>
<p id="nlMfSb"></p>
<p id="YcrmZW"><span><strong>Ranthony Texada</strong></span> - Too many missed tackles for my liking where he was diving at guys ankles. Some of these were on special teams - an area he’ll need to make an impact if he hopes to make this team. </p>
<p id="KtePq6"></p>
<p id="YyPCkz"><strong>0</strong> - How in the hell do you not call “lowering the head” AND throw out <span>Luvu</span>, the Jets linebacker, for that vicious hit on <span>Colt McCoy</span> late in the second quarter? That’s the exact play they are trying to stop in the NFL this season, and that hit could have SERIOUSLY injured McCoy! <span>Luvu</span> was called for lowering the head later on during the game when he ear-holed Carter at the end of a run. There is no place in the league for that kind of play! I hope he’s heavily fined for those two hits, and the refs are fined as well for the blatant missed call earlier in the game. </p>
<p id="JEnZxy"></p>
<h2 id="lFmOi7"><strong>Notes:</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li id="udltrI">
<span>Martrell Spaight</span> as usual, made some big splash plays, but also missed some tackles and took some false reads and poor angles, and lost his man in coverage on two occasions I counted. It’s the second part that continues to hurt him. </li>
<li id="xdKLWM">
<span>Samaje Perine</span> looked EXPLOSIVE on his lone run of the game. It’s too bad he tweaked his ankle on the play. I’d have liked to see what he could do with some more snaps. </li>
<li id="FXf2AY">
<span>Geron Christian Sr.</span> looked a bit better at left tackle against the Jets, although he’s still a MAJOR work in progress. </li>
<li id="EF999Q">
<span>Tim Settle</span> continues to show well with the back-up linemen. He did a nice job collapsing the pocket, and had a nice batted ball while going against <span>Spencer Long</span> in the second quarter. </li>
<li id="LVzp2k">
<span>Troy Apke</span> showed that 4.3 speed on the interception off the Everett tip late in the second quarter. Great effort by the rookie! I also saw some poor tackling, especially on an open-field attempt to start the fourth quarter, when he just dropped his head and completely whiffed on the ball carrier. </li>
<li id="E67Fwt">
<span>Shaun Dion Hamilton</span> just plays much smarter and takes better pursuit angles than the other reserve linebackers. He doesn’t miss many tackles when he gets there. </li>
<li id="551W3m">
<span>Prince Charles Iworah</span> played the receiver and the ball perfectly on his interception off <span>Teddy Bridgewater</span> in the fourth quarter. </li>
<li id="tzMgJz">I like the way <span>Casey Dunn</span> anchors and operates in space. </li>
</ul>

<h3 id="1qOdQ5"><strong>Cam Sims’ performance:</strong></h3>
<blockquote><p id="aueIfK">”Yeah exactly, I mean it’s not always going to be perfect in pro football. Sometimes you’re going to have some things happen to you that you didn’t expect but he bounced back and made some big plays. Even the touchdown that was called back was an unbelievable catch. So, I was glad to see him show up. He didn’t hang his head, he just came back and kept fighting. What a great sign for a pro athlete because that will happen from time to time with a key drop.”</p></blockquote>
<h3 id="ttIRUF"><strong>Danny Johnson:</strong></h3>
<blockquote><p id="gPR0B7">”I think what you’re looking for from these young players is when they get their opportunity to play in a team situation or individuals, you see them and you want to see them flash and you want to see them just continue to get better and continue to make the plays that they started to make. And Danny [Johnson] has been consistent you know – he’s been both inside and outside and Cam [Sims] has done a good job in both Xand Z position for us. So, both impressive kids. We got another big game against Denver next week and still some more evaluating time, but very impressed with both of them.”</p></blockquote>
<h3 id="O1tRNg"><strong>Kevin Hogan:</strong></h3>
<blockquote><p id="p1z0hM">Obviously [Kevin] Hogan did a great job leading the troops, Cam [Sims] made a big play, offensive line gave him some protection. Kevin had a big scramble for first down and got out of bounds, so a lot of guys made plays in that drive and it was good to see and of course [Dustin Hopkins] drained the kick.”</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p id="NeVcsO">”We evaluate all the situations, so it’s important. It’s a big kick for [Dustin] [Hopkins], a big snap for [Nick] Sundberg, and a big hold for Tress Way. I don’t care, its still good work for them. There’s big time protection on that play. And great situational work for the offensive line, two-minute, handling all the stunts and the new guys are picking those up. Daron [Payne] did a good job throughout the course of the game. He got beat a few times, but finding good things to look at. There are a lot of things to evaluate and it won’t stoptonight. It will just keep going for another two weeks.”</p></blockquote>
<h3 id="mX3SNd"><strong>Alex Smith getting hit on his first play:</strong></h3>
<blockquote><p id="oFhZoS">”I tried to call a simple play, a little bootleg away from all the pressure and he got hit right in the mouth so that was another great call by me [sarcastic tone]. I think he can handle a hit. He’s been playing for 25 years, he’ll be fine.”</p></blockquote>
<h3 id="pbWI5L"><strong>Alex Smith’s overall play:</strong></h3>
<blockquote><p id="pg-2pf2">”I thought it was good. The first play was a great play. You know, you always expect the worst case when you do a naked bootleg or a peep around the end. We messed up the block there on the play side that he booted too, but he made a great throw to Paul [Richardson Jr.] and Paul made a good job making something happen. He made a couple other good throws. I was impressed. It was good, a good tempo.”</p></blockquote>
<h3 id="jGQYyf"><strong>Cam Sims’ development:</strong></h3>
<blockquote><p id="GFMyOB">”He’s not developed yet. He’s still as raw as can be. He’s a big, talented guy. He’s got big strong hands, he’s a size mismatch for some of these corners. He can high-point and jump. That’s good. We still got to clean up some of his routes, some of those stems, some of his alignments. But overall, you just look for a young guy like that to make steady progress and he’s done that. And when the ball’s in the air, he’s made more plays than he hasn’t. We’ll keep looking at him. We still have a lot of guys in that receiver room that are impressive to me. He’s one of them.”</p></blockquote>
<h3 id="Z42OWe"><strong>Resting starters and their potential injury status:</strong></h3>
<blockquote><p id="0RYdEr">“[Jamison] Crowder’s got a little bit of a groin he’s been working with. Chris Thompson is obviously still recovering. Same with Jordan Reed, same with Trent Williams. I think those are the big four, right?”</p></blockquote>
<h3 id="ncm1yj"><strong>RB depth:</strong></h3>
<blockquote><p id="0iGTnw">“We’re still in the process of trying to figure that out. Rob Kelley and [Samaje] Perine. We wanted to get Samaje some good looks, he got hurt on his first run. Had a great run. 30-yard run but hurt his ankle. I wanted to try and get a good look at Byron and he kind of got dinged up there. Rob Kelley got a few touches and obviously, Martez [Carter] had a couple good looks. Kapri Bibbs continues to be consistent. His job is protecting, running routes and running the ball. It’ll be a tough deal for us to figure that all out but we will.”</p></blockquote>
