So who you got taking Gruden's place?

That is a really good question. I have been looking around, (Pros, NCAA) and the DC Edwards in Minnesota (former stint with Skins) would be a viable candidate for me. I would also interview David Shaw, Urban Meyer, Wade Phillips, Pete Carmichael, Josh McDaniels, Dean Pees, Rex Ryan and a slew of other candidates in order to get the next hire right.

Matt Ioannidis- Ioannidis’ 72% defensive snap rate in Sunday’s game was a new season high and the second-highest playing-time clip of his three-year career.

The Ion Man tied for the team lead in both total pressures (3), tackles (7) and stops (5). His 6 solo tackles, 7 total tackles and 5 stops were all new career bests. He bested his previous personal record by two in all three of those categories.

One of Ioannidis’ pressures in this game was a sack. This was the fifth time in his career and since the start of last season that he’s recorded a sack in back-to-back contests. His 6.5 sacks this season are the most on the team and the second most among all interior defenders; Aaron Donald, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, is the only ID with more sacks in 2018 (10).

The only Redskins interior D-lineman who have ever put up more sacks in a single season are Dave Butz (11.5), Darryl Grant (8) and Dan Wilkinson (8).

It seems crazy to say relative to where they were all selected in the draft the past few years, but Matt Ioannidis just might be the best defensive lineman on the team right now.

Jonathan Allen- This was, at the very least, one of the worst games of Allen’s as a pro. The former Alabama star and Virginia native was unable to generate a single pressure on his 30 pass-rushing snaps. This was just the second time he was both unable to register a single pressure and record multiple pressures in his 13-game career.

He also committed a penalty for the first time in the NFL. His neutral zone infraction gave the Falcons back the 5 yards they lost to a false start on the previous snap. The Falcons went on to score a touchdown two plays later.

On a positive note, Allen tied a career high with 3 solo tackles, two of which were counted as stops.

All in all, this was far from the type of game we’re used to seeing from Allen. His 36.7 PFF grade ranked second-to-last on the team and was the lowest grade of his career by a margin of approximately 20 points.

Daron Payne- Daron Payne led all Washing D-linemen in snaps played for the second consecutive week and for the third time this season.

His 56 snaps in the game were the second most of his career, but yet, he somehow only parlayed his increased reps into new season lows in both tackles (1 assist) and defensive stops (0). Payne also notched just one pressure (a hurry) on his 32 pass rushes. The rookie first-round pick had recorded at least 3 tackles and 2 pressures in each of his last five games prior to this past Sunday.

Payne’s lack of production didn’t stop PFF from giving him the second-highest grade on the defense (66.7). However, I think that says more about how poorly the defense played than it does about how well Payne did.

Tim Settle- After appearing on defense in the last two games, Settle was relegated back to a special-teams only role in this one. He has not recorded any statistics on his 27 defensive and 55 special teams snaps this season.

Caleb Brantley- Brantley suited up and played for the Skins for the third time this season and in as many weeks, but didn’t take a snap with the defense after making his first appearance on that side of the ball last week. Brantley will likely become a regular on the inactive list again because of the return of our next player.

Stacy McGee- Stacy McGee was activated to the roster from the PUP list on Tuesday. He spent the last several months recovering from groin surgery.

McGee played in all 16 games last season for the Redskins and set a new career high with 432 defensive snaps. Unfortunately, he failed to record a sack, a TFL or a takeaway of any kind in 2017. He was one of the 11 interior defenders who played over 400 snaps and did not score one sack on the year. He also only registered 4 hits and 13 total hurries.

Pass rushing is not McGee’s forte, though; he is a quality run stopper and tackler first and foremost. His 44 combined tackles last year were the second most by a Washington defender in the last 10 seasons (48 tackles by Chris Baker in 2016)

The lack of pass rush (effectiveness) from Allen, Payne & Ioman are a direct correlation with coaching. You do not go from being ultra effective in 3 straight games to nothing. Either the game plan was not effective, guys didn't execute the game plan or the coaching stinks. The two teams who gave us fit up front (Colts, Falcons) is because of their speed foremost and the creativity other teams use up front. We simply do not do that and are not coached up that way.

If you remove Bergstrom and insert Cooper at LG maybe.

Payne was going up against Alex Mack, a tough assignment for anyone.

Payne was going up against Alex Mack, a tough assignment for anyone.

Agreed, a good challenge for the rookie. However, Payne has been relatively successful in his rooke campaign and actually played the MOST snaps of any defensive lineman this week but registered 1 pressure, no sacks, no tackles and was relatively invisible during the game.
Houston, we have a problem somewhere! Is it scheme, coaching or player? You tell me...

Greg Manusky: "We Got To Make Sure We Rebound Back From A Bad Performance"

If you listen to the complete video of Manusky, I would love to hear some feedback from Skins fans.
When asked about pick plays Manusky comments, "We chose the wrong way to defend picks, it's that simple". Then fix it Manusky!
"We were a little light in the box at times and they took advantage", when asked why his previous 3 week run stop performance all but no showed vs Falcons. Then your game plan stunk! Results proved that.

I'm questioning whether or not Manusky is a competent DC in this league or is he in over his head? The old adage is, you are only as good as your players, when it comes to coaching but I don't believe that. Very good coaches separate themselves and stand out from others. Granted, the defense has improved but not because of Manusky.
