Safeties​

Quan Martin trying to cover Tyreek Hill in man coverage was criminal. You can see the frustration on Kamren Curl’s face throughout the game. Percy Butler is trying, but he is simply better for depth purposes and is not a starter.

Stats:

Curl – 4 tackles, PFF rating 52.0

Butler – 5 tackles, 1 pass defensed, PFF rating 72.2

Martin – 7 tackles, PFF rating 26.9

Kendall Fuller has been struggling in recent games. Benjamin St-Juste is a bust and penalty-magnet. Danny Johnson is a practice squad player.

Stats:

Kendall Fuller – 6 tackles, PFF rating 70.0

Benjamin St-Juste – 2 tackles, PFF rating 54.7

Danny Johnson – No stats, PFF rating 49.0

fuller has quit as well

The schemes on either side of ball are not working. Firing the defensive coordinator and secondary coach a week earlier had no positive effect. Commanders coaches haven’t lost the locker room, but the players and coaching staff are basically apathetic at this juncture of the 2023 season.

no one is playing well, and no one is coaching well.

That is why I have reached a point that I am just not going to worry about what is going on anymore. Once the FO is put together I will start again. This coaching staff just doesn't have a clue.

Valid criticisms, true.

OTOH, nobody would play any better behind the worst offensive line in the league.

Sam Howell set a new milestone in his short pro career on Sunday by throwing a pick six for the third week in a row. Commanders’ fans may be relieved to learn that he did not set an NFL record. The record for consecutive games throwing a pick six is 4, set by Matt Schaub in his rookie season with the Texans.

In fact, 11 other QBs have thrown pick sixes in 3 consecutive games since 1970, the earliest that Pro Football Reference supports streak searches. Howell’s third consecutive game with a pick six puts him in good company, alongside Tom Brady (7x SB Champ), Peyton Manning (HoF), John Elway (HoF), Matt Stafford (SB Champion) and Norm Snead (4x Pro Bowl). Howell’s streak is still active, so it remains possible for him to tie and even break the record before the season is finished.
Howell had his second worst game for the Commanders, completing a season low 52.2% of passes for a season low 127 yards (also season low 5.52 yds/attempt), 0 TDs, 1 pick 6 and taking 3 sacks for 20 yards. He did run 4 times for 21 yards and 2 TDs.

His total QBR of 19.6 was the second lowest of his career. Remarkably, though, it was only the 23rd lowest out of 26 starting QBs in Week 13. He was ahead of 2022 1st overall pick Bryce Young (QBR 18.9), 2nd overall pick C.J. Stroud (QBR 17.1) and 4th round hero Bailey Zappe (QBR 16.2).

According to PFF, the Commanders’ offensive line gave up 14 pressures, including 3 sacks. While 14 pressures allowed is certainly an improvement over the season high of 24 set last week in Dallas, 4 of Washington’s starting offensive linemen have allowed more pressures in the last 2 games than Philadelphia center Jason Kelce has allowed all season (Chris Paul 10, Andrew Wylie 8, Tyler Larsen 8, Charles Leno 7).

The 14 pressures allowed were distributed as follows:

Charles Leno: 4 hurries, 1 QB hit

Chris Paul: 3 hurries, 1 sack

Andrew Wylie: 1 hurry, 2 sacks

Tyler Larsen: 1 hurry, 1 QB hit

Sam Cosmi: 0 pressures

Run Blocking

Yards before contact by running backs provides a measure of how well the OL is clearing running lanes. The league average is around 2.5 yards before contact per rushing attempt. According to PFF, Washington’s most utilized rusher Antonio Gibson averaged just 0.7 YBC/Att. Brian Robinson averaged 3.3 YBC/Att and Chris Rodriguez averaged 2.0 YBC/Att. While the run blocking seems to have improved over last week’s shellacking in Dallas, as a group, the Commanders’ backs were still below average in running room.

Brian Robinson left the game with a hamstring injury on the first drive of the second quarter. Nevertheless, he was the Commanders’ rushing leader with 53 yards on 7 attempts with 3 broken tackles. His rushing average of 7.57 yards per attempt set a new career high. He was not targeted as a receiver.

Antonio Gibson had 10 rushing attempts for 35 yards (3.5 Y/A), with 3 broken tackles and 1 fumble recovered by Washington. He also caught 4/5 passing targets for 37 yards, making him Washington’s second leading receiver last week.

Chris Rodgriguez had 7 carries for 29 yards (4.14 Y/A) with 1 broken tackle. He was not targeted as a receiver.
For the second week in a row, Curtis Samuel led Washington in receiving yards, catching 4/5 targets (80%) for 65 yards.

Jahan Dotson was second among the WR with 2 catches for 23 yards, but only caught 40% of the passes thrown his way and dropped 1. Through Week 14 his catch rate of 59.5% ranks second last out of 13 Commanders with at least 1 passing target.

Terry McLaurin seems to have been sucked into the vortex of despair that is enveloping the team. He was targeted 3 times and failed to make a catch. Over the past 4 games he has been targeted 29 times and made 13 receptions (45% catch rate) for 126 yards (4.3 yards/target) and 0 TDs.

Dyami Brown was targeted once and made 1 reception for 0 yards.Terry McLaurin wasn’t the only Commanders’ who disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle against Miami. Cole Turner led the group by catching 1 target for 2 yards. Logan Thomas and John Bates had 1 target apiece with no receptions.

 

[skinsdad62]

The DEs seem to have gone missing with the TEs and Terry. K.J. Henry made 2 tackles and 1 tackle for loss. Casey Toohill had 1 tackle for a loss of 6 yards on a screen pass. Andre Jones had 1 assisted tackle. Jalen Harris really got after it with 1 solo tackle.

DTs

Daron Payne led the DTs with 2 solo tackles and 1 assist with 1 tackle for loss and 1 missed tackle. Jonathan Allen had 1 solo tackle, 1 missed tackle and 1 QB hit. John Ridgeway made 1 solo tackle.

Phidarian Mathis did not record a defensive stat.

allen needs to stop running his mouth and do something mathis for the umpteenth time this year didnt record a stat huge bust in round 2
Cody Barton led the Commanders in tackling with 5 solo tackles and 6 assists. He was targeted once in coverage, allowing a 6 yard completion.

Jamin Davis had 5 solo tackles, 3 assists, 2 tackles for loss and 1 pass broken up. He was targeted 4 times in coverage, allowing 2 receptions for 9 yards, his lowest receiving total allowed since Week 5.

Khaleke Hudson had 3 solo tackles and 1 assist, while missing 2 tackles. He blitzed once and had a QB knockdown. He had 1 target in coverage and allowed 1 reception for 21 yard

Coverage Alignments

Kendall Fuller played 59 snaps at boundary corner and 2 in the box. BSJ spent 55 snaps out wide, 4 in the box, 1 at slot CB and 1 on the DL. Quan Martin played 17 snaps at slot CB, 10 lined up in the box, 2 at free safety and 1 on the DL. Danny Johnson played all 6 snaps covering the slot.

Coverage Performance


It is hard to imagine how the Commanders’ CBs could have played any worse. One can only imagine whether the Dolphins would have completed any fewer passes if they had simple stood on the sidelines.

Kendall Fuller made 6 solo tackles and 1 assist. He was targeted 3 times in coverage and allowed 2 receptions for 63 yards and 1 TD (opposing passer rating 149.3). Ouch!

Benajmin St-Juste made 2 solo tackles. He had 2 targets in coverage and allowed 2 receptions for 21 yards (opposing passer rating 110.4). He was also penalized 16 yards for pass interference. Meh.

Quan Martin made 5 solo tackles and 2 assists with 1 tackle for loss and 2 missed tackles. He was targeted 7 times in coverage and gave up 7 receptions for 120 yards and 1 TD (opposing passer rating 158.3). Yikes!

Danny Johnson failed to record a defensive stat. This was by far the best performance of any of the Commanders’ CBs. This season, however, he has allowed receptions on 72.7% of targets and has an opposing passer rating of 143.4.
Coverage Alignments

Kam Curl played 33 snaps at free safety, 22 in the box, 3 at slot CB, 2 at boundary CB, and 1 on the DL. Percy Butler played 41 snaps at free safety, 11 in the box, 5 at slot CB and 2 at boundary CB. Terrell Burgess played his 2nd and 3rd defensive snaps this season at free safety.

Defense

Kam Curl made 4 solo tackles and missed 2 tackles. In coverage, he was targeted twice and allowed 1 reception for 20 yards (opposing passer rating 85.4). Percy Butler made 3 solo tackles and 2 assists with 2 missed tackles. In coverage, he was targeted 3 times and allowed 1 reception for 13 yards, with 1 pass breakup (opposing passer rating 47.9).

Terrell Burgess only played 2 defensive snaps and recorded 2 solo tackles. At that rate, if he had played 6 defensive snaps, he would have led the team in tackling. He was also targeted once in coverage and allowed a reception for 16 yards. That is a lot of action for just 2 snaps.

Young guy, learning. Perfect build for the corner position who received absolutely terrible coaching. I want to see him under the new regime along with Forbes.
