Spencer was also hauling aver 100lbs more than CT!I didn't understand why Amerson caught CT but then I saw the replay and saw he ran out of gas. While watching the replay for the 4953953535735545803853447 time because it was fun to watch I noticed CT and Long ran out of gas about the same time. Spence was hauling ass though.
Here's another clip I just can't stop watching...worth posting again imo
The dude is a true shut down corner. I bet they didn't even throw at him more that a couple of times sunday night. Although that might have to start changing. They keep trying to throw at Fuller. That ain't working at so well, either.
Washington opened the scoring with a HB Chris Thompsontouchdown catch from QB Kirk Cousins. They would follow that up with a TE Vernon Davis touchdown catch to go into halftime up 14-0.
The Raiders would get on the scoreboard in the second half, with a TE Jared Cook touchdown catch from QB Derek Carr. They would add a field goal in the fourth quarter, but a WR Josh Doctson touchdown catch and a pair of field goals would give Washington the win, 27-10. With that, we give you our PFF exclusive takeaways from the contest for each team.
TOP 5 GRADES:
S Montae Nicholson, 88.3 overall grade
TE Vernon Davis, 88.2 overall grade
CB Kendall Fuller, 85.8 overall grade
QB Kirk Cousins, 84.1 overall grade
WR Jamsion Crowder, 81.2 overall grade
PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:
HB CHRIS THOMPSON, 80.7 OVERALL GRADE
Thompson showed what a forceful player he can be with the ball in space. Thompson gained 145 yards after the catch against the Raiders, as the Washington screen game was too much for the Raiders to handle. His 8.82 yards per route run was more than three yards higher than the next closest qualifying running back this week.
QB KIRK COUSINS, 84.1 OVERALL GRADE
Cousins was at his best against the Raiders, completing 83.3 percent of his passes, however what made this possible was the dominant performance of the offensive line. Cousins was only pressured 6 times on 32 dropbacks as the offensive line allowed Cousins time to get into a rhythm. He had a perfect 158.3 passer rating when throwing from a clean pocket tonight.
S MONTAE NICHOLSON, 88.3 OVERALL GRADE
Nicholson did not do much in run defense, but he also didn’t need to as the Raiders ran the ball just 13 times on the night and had just one run of ten yards or more. However, Nicholson was impactful in coverage with just one target on 34 cover snaps, which he was able to pick off.
CB KENDALL FULLER, 85.8 OVERALL GRADE
Fuller had a similarly good night in coverage. On 37 snaps in coverage, he was targeted four times. He allowed two catches for a total of 17 yards, intercepted a pass, and allowed a 21.9 passer rating into his coverage. His passer rating allowed into his coverage on the season is now down to a 46.4 rating, nearly 80 points lower than last season.
He is however, not good enough to be a REDSKIN!
