Skins Stats & Snaps: Redskins @ Cowboys (Offense)

we will start it off with the snaps on offense and a breakdown

 

[skinsdad62]

Points- The Redskins scored 23 points against Dallas in their Turkey Day matchup. They have scored 24 or fewer points in 10 of their 11 games this season, which is the most such games by any team in the league. The Cardinals and Eagles are the only teams within a game of the Skins, in this regard (9 games each).

After hearing that, it should not surprise you to learn Washington ranks 26th in points per game (20.0).

this is what a healthy CDC offense brought us 26th in points , not what we paid for ABC crowd

 

[skinsdad62]

Colt McCoy (Traditional Stats)- McCoy, who made his first start since Week 15 of the 2014 season, completed 24-of-38 passes (63.2%) for 268 yards (7.05 YPA), 12 first downs and 2 touchdowns. Clearly these are bigger numbers than what we saw from Alex Smith for most of the year. Those completion, yardage and touchdown totals are the third most, fourth most and tied for the most by a Redskins quarterback this season, respectively.

His first TD pass went for 53 yards, which was the Redskins’ longest completion of the year and the third-longest touchdown throw in McCoy’s pro career.

However, his performance included just as many, if not more, downs as it did ups. McCoy threw 3 interceptions, two of which involved either a very bad decision or a very poor throw on his part. This was the most picks thrown by a Redskins’ signal caller since Kirk Cousins was picked off by the Giants three times in his final game in the Burgundy and Gold (Week 17 of last season). There were at least two other McCoy throws that could’ve been caught by the Cowboys, as well. He is already only two picks away from tying Alex Smith with 5 interceptions this season, despite having thrown 278 fewer passes than Smith.

The veteran backup turned starter also fumbled the ball on the first of the 3 sacks that he would take on the day. Fortunately for him, the ball was recovered.

Colt McCoy (Rushing)- He gained 28 yards on his five runs on Thursday (5.6 YPC). Those numbers move up to 29 yards and a 7.25 YPC when you exclude his 1-yard kneel down at the end of the first half. This was the third-highest rushing total by a Redskins’ signal caller this season; McCoy’s 35 yards last week rank first.

His rushes of 11 and 12 yards were the Skins’ longest runs of the day and gave him a team-high 2 first downs on the ground. The 12-yarder came on a 3rd-and-10 play just four snaps before a Dustin Hopkins field goal.

McCoy is averaging 21 rushing yards per game through his first two contests, which ranks 11th among current starting QBs.

Colt McCoy (Advanced Stats)- Colt McCoy’s 53-yard TD was thrown 30 yards in the air; Alex Smith only had one TD pass all season that traveled 30 or more yards through air. McCoy’s 10.4 average depth of target this season ranks second among all starting quarterbacks (Jameis Winston has an 11.4 aDOT). Smith’s 8.6 aDOT ranked 16. However, throwing it deep doesn’t necessarily mean that the results will be better.

The former Longhorn earned a 54.1 PFF grade and a 24.3 raw QBR score for the game, both of which were the lowest marks by a Washington quarterback this season. His 68.7 passer rating against the Cowboys is the second-worst showing by a Redskin this season.

those in bold showed what CDC didnt do well at all but colt's first start wasnt good . at all . probabaly should have guessed that with no real practice

 

[skinsdad62]

Trey Quinn- The legend of Trey Quinn continued to grow in Thursday’s game. He played on over 70% of the snaps and out-snapped every back, receiver or tight end on the team besides Josh Doctson and Jordan Reed.

Quinn set new career highs in both targets (6) and receptions (5) and caught his first touchdown as a pro on a 10-yard pass from Colt McCoy. He set that scoring drive up with a 30-yard punt return, which means Quinn was responsible for 40 of the 60 yards (66.7%) the team needed to reach the end zone.

Things didn’t always go perfectly to plan for Mr. Irrelevant in Thursday’s game, though. He lost 3 yards on a screen pass and was the target on one of McCoy’s interceptions. He gained at least 5 yards (5, 7, 7 and 10) on his four other targets.

It will be very interesting to see what happens with Quinn’s playing time and target share when Jamison Crowder returns to the lineup.

i hope crowder can beat him out but truthfully quinn is a breath of fresh air

 

[skinsdad62]

Jordan Reed- Jordan Reed was on the field for 74.6% of the offensive snaps, his second-highest snap rate in the last year. He matched the season-high in routes run that he set last week, with 39 of them.

And after going 724 days without topping 65 yards in a game, Reed went for over 70 yards for the second time in five days. His season and team-high 75 receiving yards came on 8 targets, and he tied Josh Doctson for the most receptions (6) and first downs (4) by a Redskin in the game, as well.

Half of his targets and first downs came on third down, as did a third of his catches and 41% of his yards. In fact, Reed moved the chains on 3rd-and-long plays twice in a four-play span, with the first of those catches going for 20 yards, which was tied for the Skins’ second-longest play of the day.

Reed probably would’ve hauled in another first-down reception on third down (for about 5 yards) had he not been the victim of an egregious helmet-to-helmet hit by Xavier Woods. The referees somehow missed the blatantly obvious call, but we should still expect to see Woods get hit with a hefty fine, and rightfully so.

Reed looks like a totally different player with Colt McCoy at quarterback, and that new player is the old and highly productive Jordan Reed we all remember. Now that he is rounding back into form, I fully expect him to get injured again. Just kidding (knocks on wood).

lost in the shuffle is the fact that CDC couldnt find ways to use this weapon and colt has

 

[skinsdad62]

davis
It was the Redskins’ longest completion and the second-longest play overall this season (Adrian Peterson 64-yard rush TD at Giants). The catch was Davis’ longest since he caught a 61-yard score with the 49ers in Week 6 of 2013.

He hit a top speed of 21.44 mph on the play, which is the 13th fastest speed recorded by a ball carrier this season and the fastest by a tight end in at least the last three seasons.

let that sink in

 

[skinsdad62]

Chris Thompson- Chris Thompson sat this one out and missed his sixth game of the season. He also missed six contests last year, which is tied for his most absences due to injury since he tore his labrum as a rookie in 2013. We found out on Friday that Thompson’s ribs aren’t just bruised and that there is a crack/fracture involved. This explains why he has had to sit out for so many games.

Whenever CT returns, he should provide a big boost in pass protection. Thompson has pass blocked on over 175 snaps in his career, and he has only given up a total of 4 sacks on those plays. Meanwhile, Kapri Bibbs has allowed 2 sacks on just 6 pass-blocking snaps in the last two weeks.

this guy cant stay healthy

 

[skinsdad62]

Trent Williams- Trent Williams returned to the lineup and played on all but one snap, after missing the last three games with a dislocated thumb. The only pressures Williams gave up on the day were a pair of hurries. The Silverback has only allowed one sack in his last 23 games.

His 75.8 PFF grade against the Cowboys ranked second on the offense.

Williams was checked for a rib injury after the game, but his x-rays came back negative

shows how good he is

Bad game by dix

 

[Sportster 72]

Anyone remember how he got his rib hurt? Smith through a less than 10 yard pass to him near the end zone right over the middle. The pass was so bad that when CT turned, opened up and reached for the ball he got killed.

Skins Stats & Snaps: Redskins @ Cowboys (Defense/ST)

not real good here

 

[skinsdad62]

ards- The Cowboys dropped 404 yards on the Redskins’ defense, which marks the third time in the last four weeks that Washington has allowed their opponent to gain 400-plus against them.

Dallas also gained a season-best 258 yards through the air on Thursday. The only other time the Cowboys gained over 238 passing yards this season was against the Redskins in Week 7 (250). Even after this game, Dallas still ranks 28th in the NFL in passing yards per game (200).

Washington’s defense has been very accommodating to opposing passing attacks this in 2018. They rank 23rd with an average of 261 passing yards allowed per game.

now dean is in the business of selling us that fuller COULDNT BE AN INFLUENCE ON THESE NUMBERS and would make no difference in his never ending quest to JUSTIFY the ASS trade

 

[skinsdad62]

Matt Ioannidis- A calf injury limited Ioannidis to his second-lowest playing time numbers of the year (20 snaps a 28.6% snap rate).

He tied a season low with 1 tackle and registered fewer than 3 pressures (2 hurries) for the first time since Week 7 (vs. Dallas).

All indications are that he’ll be good to go for next Monday’s pivotal showdown with the Eagles.

good news here

 

[skinsdad62]

onathan Allen- This was easily one of Jonathan Allen’s best games of the year. Four days after going o-fer in the pressure department against the Texans, the second-year lineman generated a pair of QB disruptions, one of which was his first sack since Week 8 (at Giants). He made the play on a Dallas third down just shy of midfield.

Allen is one of 15 interior defenders with 5 or more sacks this season. He and Ioannidis join Chris Jones and Allen Bailey as the only pairs of teammates on this list.

He led the game and set new career highs in both total tackles (9) and defensive stops (7). Six of his takedowns were made within 2 yards from the line of scrimmage or behind it. The Cowboys gained a total of 11 yards on his 9 tackles (1.2 yards per play). His lone major gaffe of the game was a missed tackle on Dak Prescott’s third-down rushing touchdown.

He earned the third-highest PFF grade of his career for the performance (81.2)

 

[skinsdad62]

Daron Payne- Jon Allen’s buddy from Bama, Daron Payne, led all Washington D-lineman with 57 snaps played, which was the second-highest total of his young career.

Like Allen, he recorded his first sack since Week 8 and registered a total of 2 pressures. Payne also scored a pass defense on a batted pass at the line of scrimmage. His only other PD of the year came against Dallas in Week 7.

Three of Payne’s 4 tackles were recorded within 3 yards or behind the line of scrimmage.

 

[skinsdad62]

Tim Settle- Tim Settle had a mini-breakout performance against the Cowboys. The youngest defensive lineman in the league was the biggest beneficiary of Matt Ioannidis’ injury, as it allowed him to get onto the field for a career-high 21 snaps (30%). That total is nearly double his next-highest total (11 snaps) and it exceeds his snap total in the last six games (18) by three.

Settle didn’t just record the first tackle of his career, he made 3 solo tackles, with two of those stopping Dallas rushes short of the marker on second-and-short plays. One of them was a 1-yard TFL.

His hurry on Dak Prescott essentially handed Preston Smith a sack on a silver platter.

Settle’s impressive showing on Thanksgiving earned him a career and team-high 87.1. The only player in the game who received better marks from PFF was Amari Cooper (91.6).

Sty look at this ! you and i have been high on this kid
