Skins Stats & Snaps: Broncos @ Redskins (Defense/ST)
QB Pressure- The pass rush regressed after a bounce-back performance last week against the Jets. The Skins only recorded one sack and pressured the Broncos’ passers on just 18.4% of their dropbacks (7-of-38), which was their lowest such rate of the preseason.
Rushing Defense- This was also the team’s worst game in rushing defense. They gave up 146 yards, 9 first downs and 1 touchdown on Denver’s 30 rushing attempts in the game. The Broncos averaged 5.1 yards per carry on all non-kneel-down plays, 2.69 yards after contact and 2.38 yards before contact.
Missed Tackles- The poor rushing defense had a lot to do with the fact that the Redskins missed a preseason-high nine tackles on defense in the contest, five of which came in the running game. I wish I could say this was a new problem, but the team has missed eight or more tackles on defense in all three preseason games.
Penalties- The defense and special teams were responsible for five of the team’s six penalties and 46 of their 56 penalty yards. The defense was flagged three times for 26 yards and the special teams unit committed two infractions for a total of 20 yards.
3rd Down- The Skins’ defense allowed the Broncos to convert on 6 of their 13 third-down attempts, which equates to a 46.2% conversion rate. They moved the chains on 3-of-5 third downs (60%) when the Redskins had starting defenders in the game.
The defense has given up conversions on 18 of the 40 third downs they’ve faced this preseason, which gives the Redskins the 6th worst conversion rate allowed (45%) on the money down. Washington’s starters were even worse, as opposing offenses converted on 5-of-9 third down attempts (55.6%) against them.
Red Zone- The D may not have been clutch on third down, but they did step up in the red zone. Denver failed to score touchdowns on both of their trips to the red zone. In fact, the Broncos’ offense only gained 5 yards and failed to pick up a first down on their five plays inside Washington’s 20-yard line.
The Skins’ red-zone defense has improved in both of the last two games (100% > 33% > 0 %). They currently rank 10th in the NFL, with a 50% touchdown-conversion rate allowed. The defensive starters prevented a TD on their only red-zone series of the preseason (Jets)
