Game Thread: Redux??? Giants Visit Commanders Part II (2023)

[Stymietee]

1. Does the team benefit and are there personal benefits (for him) if Ron Rivera finishes the season strong?


2. Will you be upset if the N.Y. Giants win this game? How about Washington winning a close one?

3. To what degree of certainty do you believe that the players know that their head coach and others won’t be here next year? Will such certainty or uncertainty among players have any effect on their play on the field?

IMO ... doesn't matter, next season doesn't start until this one ends. I believe RR will finish the season.

2. Will you be upset if the N.Y. Giants win this game? How about Washington winning a close one?

Upset no, cuz I'll make a small M/L wager the Giants will win. Any win over the Giants is acceptable after they're recent past.

3. To what degree of certainty do you believe that the players know that their head coach and others won’t be here next year? Will such certainty or uncertainty among players have any effect on their play on the field?

Players know it's a business. There's film on every player every time they step on the field. If it has an negative effect, they're foolish.

I would think twice about firing RR because a new coach may get us more victories THIS season.

Skins lose 4-3. Two safeties and 17 sacks are too much to overcome.

The Commanders’ 26-29 loss to the Seahawks was their 4th loss of the season in 4 games against teams that currently have winning records.

Washington’s struggles to contain explosive plays continued in Seattle. The Commanders’ defense allowed 8 passing plays of greater than 15 yards, for 196 total yards, including a 64 yard TD reception by RB Kenneth Walker. In run defense, they allowed 3 rushing plays of 12 or more yards (12, 13, 13).
Sam Howell as shown dramatic drop in sacks taken over recent weeks, coinciding with some substitutions on the offensive line, which raises the question of whether Sam or the OL is getting better. Let’s have a look at the numbers.

Through Week 8, Sam Howell averaged 5.4 sacks per game with an average sack rate of 14.1% of dropbacks. In the 3 games since Chris Paul replaced Saahdiq Charles and Tyler Larsen replaced Nick Gates, those figures dropped to 2.3 sacks per game and 4.8% sack rate.

Did the OL player substitutions lead the reduction in sacks? Through Week 8, the OL allowed an average of 12.25 pressures per game. In the three games since, that went up to 16.33 pressures per game. The OL has actually allowed more pressures since the substitutions.

How about Sam Howell? Through Week 7 (1 week before the OL adjustment), Howell had an average time to throw of 2.91 seconds and was very consistent from game to game (low 2.81 sec, high 3.02 sec). Starting with the Giants game, something seemed to click and his average time to throw suddenly dropped to 2.6 seconds. For the last 4 games, he has averaged 2.67 seconds.

It appears that Howell has improved at getting rid of the ball quickly, while the OL has got worse in pass protection.
So howell is making the o/line look better , you know like a franchise qb would
Sam Howell continued to look the part against Seahawks, as he has done for three weeks in a row. Howell completed 29 of 44 passes (65.9%) for 312 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INTs and ran twice for 17 yards, while taking 3 sacks for 24 yards and giving up 1 turnover on a strip sack.

This was the third game in a row that Howell threw for over 300 yards. The last time a Washington QB had three games in a row over 300 passing yards was the first three games of the 2016 season, with Kirk Cousins throwing to Pierre Garcon, DeSean Jackson and Jamison Crowder and Sean McVay at OC.
In Week 10, the Commanders’ OL allowed 17 total pressures, their third highest total of a season. In last week’s Stats and Snaps I made an error. Last week’s total of 18 was the second highest of the season after their season high of 21 in the first Eagles game. Therefore, two of the three highest pressures allowed totals have come in the three games since the OL substitutions. The pressures allowed in Seattle were distributed as follows:

• Tyler Larsen: 4 hurries, 1 sack
• Sam Cosmi: 4 hurries
• Andrew Wylie: 2 hurries 1 sack
• Charles Leno: 2 hurries, 1 QB hit
• Chris Paul: 1 hurry, 1 sacks

Against Seattle, Antonio Gibson averaged 2.8 yards before contact per rushing attempt, which ranked 19th among 47 RBs with a minimum of 4 attempts in Week 10. Brian Robinson averaged 1.6 yards before contact, which ranked 33rd out of 47 backs. It does not appear that Washington’s O-Line is doing anything special in the running game.

Skins lose because of course they do.

The skins with next three because pf course they do that too.

Then skins lose the reat of their games, ensuring that they lose out of both the too prospects in the draft and the playoffs, because of course they do that too.

They seem overconfident so I think the Midgets pull the upset.

Can see that happening.

 

[PDay8810]

i'd fire um all if overconfident becomes the storyline.

No?

 

[skinsdad62]

this team will come out flat and unprepared is my guess and that is on coaching

 

[duke1861]

No?

No, EB is the best offensive mind in the game.

We would be averaging 50 points a game if we had an oline.

You are in for a butt kicking Thanksgiving day PDay. You have been warned.

Commanders 65
Cowboys 3

Howell
39-41
600 yards
