falcons pre game

[skinsdad62]

another big game with new challenges . ryan , jones and ridley are tough nuts to crack and a fast defense

 

[skinsdad62]

On Redskins D-line, the plan is 'starting to come to fruition'

you will see more of the d/line

settles and brantley got a few snaps as well so i like our depth here

Not until it was over. I would like to see each Settle & Brantley rotated in more along with McGee when fully healthy.

Should be an interesting game. Falcons D is not that good, it will be interesting to see how our offense does against them. On the other hand Ryan and those WRs can light it up at times. I am very interested in seeing how the D does against them.

the falcons defense is fast much like the colts defense which gave us issues

The falcons offer this challenge

 

[skinz2winz]

Think this games goes as our DL goes. If they can get Ryan off his mark on play action, if they contain a very under rated Tevin Coleman, if they can pressure Ryan enough to affect they're really good air attack. If not, Ryan could have a field day and our defense may be tired by the 4th.

Will ATL's defense pose as many issues to the Skins offense as Alex does?

Im not feeling it guys Falcons 28 skins 14

So you are expecting two TDs from our defense? Because Alex Smith hasn't shown he can lead this offense to score 2 TDs in the same game.

Looks likely we will see Dunny back for the Falcons game...

good news on dunny

 

[skinsdad62]

if this game goes shoot out we could be in big trouble . last shootout we got into vs the saints BKL layed an egg

This I can say for sure...adding Dix to the backend with Swearinger is an improvement. As the defense currently stands, our CB position is the weak link moving forward on that side of the ball.

Nice change of pace to be able to find the few weak links on the Skins D as opposed to in the past only being able to identify a few consistently high quality players.

Skins Stats & Snaps: Redskins @ Giants (Offense)

Alex Smith (Traditional Stats)- Alex Smith completed 20 of his 32 passes (62.5%) for 178 yards, 10 first downs, a touchdown and no interceptions. He was not sacked for the second time this year, after only being sacked once last week against the Cowboys.

This was the third straight game in which Smith failed to throw for more than 180 yards. He has now failed to top 180 yards in 57 career regular season games (minimum 10 attempts), which is 12 more than the number of games in which he passed for 250 or more yards (45).

It was the fourth game this season that he tossed one or zero touchdowns in. He has thrown multiple scores in 57 of his games as a pro, while throwing for one or less TDs in his other 106 games.

Smith’s 5.56 YPA average and his 87.8 passer rating were his second lowest marks in both categories this season.

He has done well to avoid throwing costly interceptions this season, and his 0.88% interception rate ranks fourth in the NFL. However, his TD rate of 3.51% has him at 27th among 34 qualifying quarterbacks. Alex Smith ranks in the bottom ten in that statistic and in completion percentage (63.2%), yards per attempt (6.8), yards per completion (10.8) and yards per game (223).

On the bright side, Smith made a touchdown-saving tackle on the Giants’ 43-yard fumble return. New York turned the ball over on downs four plays later. This was his first tackle since 2014.

Alex Smith (Rushing)- On his two runs against the Giants (non-kneel downs), Smith gained 14 yards. He picked up his only first down with an 11-yard scamper on a 1st-and-10 play. He sits at 18th among all quarterbacks in rushing yards per game (13.9).

Alex Smith (Advanced Stats)- Smith’s 64.1 QBR ranked 13th among all QBs in Week 8, and was his best showing in this advanced metric since Week 3 (vs. Packers). His 60.7 PFF grade, on the other hand, ranked 19th at the position this week, and is right in line with his ratings in each of the past five games (all between 60.1 and 61.3).

None of his production came via the deep passing game. He attempted just two throws that traveled 20 or more yards in the air and both passes fell incomplete. His average depth of target of 6.9 yards was the third lowest average by a QB this week. This was his lowest aDOT since Week 1, when he did not attempt a single deep pass.

this is the kind of QB play dean believes wins playoff games and that a qb with this kind of stat line deserves majority credit for wins

deans 's failure to understand basic pro football and how to judge qb play without cliches from the 50's continues to astound me

wins are because of the TEAM as a hole except when referring to KC in which case all losses are on him and all wins suddenly are team wins

been his standard for 3 plus years

stats showing a qbs performance are nothing to dean hate . yet he will use these useless stats when it bolsters his debate

there are quite a few very good qbs with sub 500 records as starters throughout NFL history , some like sonny jurgenson , and joe namath are HOF qbs
