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

lol. you are already wrong about this front office and this team. When we get 10 wins and get a playoff birth you should go run and hide b/c you have been hating since the trade.

In no way am I saying the offense couldn't do better....Smith couldn't perform better, but I'm not sure the sky is falling just yet.

I'm happy with the 5-2 record. I'm happy with the time of possession advantage we have every week. I'm happy with the turnover differential, and I'm pleased with the redzone offense. I'm also happy that teams generally have to drive 75 yards to score on us because we take care of the football.

AP is no doubt making this thing go, but if Alex can just get back to what he's been his whole career and not this version that we are seeing, we are gonna be a tough out if we can get in.

Everyone is waiting to see if the D can hold up this week. I'm also interested to see if Alex can throw on Atlanta. If he can't, that is gonna say a lot.

i havent been wrong , my prediction was 10 -6 . and i have stated that a playoff birth is what KC would get us plus a win and for BKL to be better he needs an NFC title game appearance

and i wont run and hide because i have 3 more years of this truth attacks ready to go

This is what AS has been his entire career...after he stopped throwing to the wrong team early in his career. Last year was the anomaly.

I'm not looking for last year. Hill, Hunt, Kelce, and for that matter Andy Reid aren't here. Plus that was his 5th year in the system. Could be wrong on that. We just need him to make throws that we have seen him make in the past. The pass to Sprinkle. The 3rd down pass to Reed that sailed. Stuff like that. If he can clean that up and use his legs a little more I'd be content. Not satisfied, but content.

That isnt what you said. He is capable of making those throws, but historically, you are getting what he has always been. People are just blinded by what he did last season.

 

[kbso83432]

What did I say that you are referring to? Respectfully curious.

well I don't remember that prediction when the trade was made. All I remember was you hating on the trade and losing Fuller was the end of the world. what truth? You blasted a trade that is going to send us possibly to the playoffs.

 

[chillerdab]

YOu don't remember that prediction, because he didn't make that prediction.

Or.....

Skinsdad made several predictions to hedge his bets.

Post 25.

[kbso83432]

Yeah, his whole career he has been able to make the throws he missed to Sprinkle two weeks ago and the one to Reed last week.

 

[Skin'EmAll]

I believe we win with a gameplan that mirrors the Eagles victory over the Falcons.
AP and CT - if he can go -- will be key.
Julio's jersey will likely be sent to Canton after the game, i'm sure his numbers will be stupid.
But I foresee another ugly win.

Well you search engine then up and if that is the case I will eat the crow . I don’t think it is . I have been clear nfc title game is my standard . 10 - 6. Was my prediction after the draft . Now if you can find something different then. I am all ears
