yan Kerrigan- Ryan Kerrigan’s 61 snaps and 91.4% rate this past Thursday, represented his highest playing-time numbers in a regulation-length game since the 2015 season.

The veteran outside backer made four tackles, all of which were behind the line of scrimmage or within 3 yards of it. He pressured Prescott twice, with one of them going for a half-sack inside the Redskins’ own 5-yard line; Dallas was forced to settle for a field goal on the drive.

After this game and a correct stat correction gave him a second sack against the Texans, Kerrigan is now up to 8 sacks on the year, 7 of which he’s recorded since Week 7. Aaron Donald (10.5) is the only player with more sacks than RyKer in that span.

He joins Derrick Thomas, Jared Allen, Demarcus Ware and Reggie White as the only players in NFL history who have ever recorded 7.5 or more sacks in each of their first eight seasons. He is also one of just 15 players who have recorded 8-plus sacks in seven consecutive years, at any point in his career. All of the aforementioned players from the last statistic and former Redskins Dexter Manley and Bruce Smith, among others, share that honor.

Kerrigan is three sacks away from passing Charles Mann (82 sacks) in the franchise’s career sack rankings


the bolded areas are answers to those who think RK isnt doing well . he is . now that doesnt mean i dont feel we need to groom a replacement

Preston Smith- Preston Smith continued to play like a man on a mission ($$$). He set new personal records for snap share (89.1%), total tackles recorded (8) and defensive stops (5). The Cowboys lost a whopping 16 combined yards on his tackles.

A big part of the reason for the negative yardage figure is that Dallas lost 20 yards on his 1.5 sacks in the game. Smith also hit Prescott on multiple third-down passing plays. He led all players in the game with 5 total pressures.

This was his third straight game with a sack (3.5 in that time frame). Aaron Donald (36), Fletcher Cox (28) and Trey Flowers (28) are the only players who have racked up more QB pressures than Smith has since Week 7 (25).

His 86.9 PFF grade ranked second on the team and third in the game.

issue will always be consistency

Mason Foster- Foster tied for second on the team with 8 tackles, but he needed a lot of help to do it, as 6 of his takedowns were assists. His 2 solos tackles were tied for a season-low (Week 3 vs. Packers).

One of those helpers came on the Dallas 4th-and-1 rush that was stopped for no gain, and another one was made on a 1-yard run. However, none of his other tackles were made within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage.

He also whiffed on an attempt after a Dallas reception. Foster’s 7 missed tackles on the year are the most among the team’s defensive starters (Nicholson with 9 MTs).

Mase made the takedown after all three of the receptions he surrendered. The Cowboys picked up a total of 23 yards and a first down on those plays.

Foster is a far from perfect player. He’s not great in coverage by any stretch and he misses his share of tackles. That being said, he has still done very well for himself when it comes to racking up big tackle numbers. His 97 takedowns on the year are tied for the second-most in the league (Blake Martinez).

Shaun Dion Hamilton- After appearing solely on special teams in all 10 of the Redskins’ previous games, Shaun Dion Hamilton finally took his first snaps with the defense (4). SDH did not make any tackles in Thursday’s contest, but he did score a QB hit on Dak Prescott on one of his two plays as a pass rusher.

we need to see more of him

Fabian Moreau- Fabian Moreau only had a few bad plays against the Cowboys, but the result of those plays had a massive effect on the outcome of the contest.

After seeing over 90% of the snaps in each of the last two games, his playing time fell back to what is a normal range for him (65.7%).

He was targeted four times on his 29 coverage snaps, and allowed 3 receptions, 2 first downs, a touchdown and a whopping game-high 105 yards.

The bulk of those yards were recorded on a 90-yard Amari Cooper touchdown. The sad thing is that Moreau was right there to take Cooper down for what would’ve only been a 24-yard gain, but he tried to force a fumble instead and ended up missing the tackle altogether.

It was the longest offensive play and touchdown allowed by the Redskins this season and their longest allowed since Mario Manningham and Eli Manning hooked up for a 92-yard bomb in the final game of the 2011 season. This was also the ninth-longest TD of any type in the NFL this season. The second-longest score of the year was Justin Reid’s 101-yard interception return against the Redskins four days earlier.

Moreau was the main reason that Cooper racked up 180 receiving yards on the day, which is the fourth-highest receiving yardage total by any player this season.

The second-year DB was also flagged for a defensive holding penalty on a Cowboys’ third-down play that had ended with an incompletion. The penalty allowed Dallas to burn a full three extra minutes off the clock in the fourth quarter.

His season-worst 48.7 PFF grade was the third-lowest rating on the defense

deans , all pro

So I'm now even more flummoxed. Our 3 down linemen have played well and did so again against the Cowboys. The numbers speak for themselves. So how did Dallas rack up over 150+ yards rushing against us? Its becoming clear that our ILBs are the weak link. And possibly the coaching.

Didn't you predict Smith was going to be at least a parallel if not better answer to Cousin's? Oh wait! You have a history of those kind of predictions.

I have acknowledged that Smith wasn't playing well. Not the point with Bergstrom.

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

Was NEVER a healthy offense after 2 games.

yep , i think manusky is an issue and the lb coaches

REally, because Kirk O is one of the most respected LB coaches in the entire NFL. A coach is only as good as his pupils. M. Foster sucks (backup/ST player) and Brown is weak in coverage. As for Manusky, he is not the leader we need on defense imo.

Not filling the right gaps could be coaching
