Redskins Vs. Giants - Studs and Duds

about sums it up

 

[skinsdad62]

The Redskins allowed 18 points on Sunday, which marks the third consecutive game in which they’ve allowed under 20 points. That wasn’t good enough to help their overall 2017 ranking, though.

Washington allowed 388 total points this season, which ranked 27th in the league. Not many people would’ve expected the team to drop 8 spots from their 19th-place finish last season (383).

27th in points allowed

 

[skinsdad62]

the Washington defense ranked 9th in passing yardage allowed (3,420), 10th in passer rating against (81.0) and 16th in yards per attempt (7.0).

 

[skinsdad62]

The Washington defense allowed tight ends to catch 79 receptions for 970 yards and 8 touchdowns this season. Those are numbers ranked 7th, 4th and 7th worst in the NFL this season, respectively.

I wish I could say I was surprised, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Here are the team’s yardage rankings against the position from 2011 to 2016: 6th worst, worst, 11th worst, 4th worst, 7th worst and worst.

Meh. Whatever.

Losing Allen, Murphy, Cravens, Hood, Nicholson, Foster, Compton, Ionman, Norman, and Zac Brown for anywhere between a few games and the entire season will do that to you.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some....

The Burgundy and Gold have only given up first downs on 13 of the last 52 third downs they’ve faced (also 25%). If you look all the way back to Week 11, opponents have only picked up conversions on 32 of their 107 third downs (30%).

The Redskins’ third-down conversion rate allowed of 36.7% on the season ranked 9th in the NFL. The team ranked dead last on the money down in 2016 with a historically awful 46.4% against.

This was one of the front office and coaching staff’s biggest priorities last offseason. You may not be able to in any other regard, but you have to give the Redskins’ brass major props for this

Overall, the Burgundy and Gold’s 50.9% red-zone success rate ranked 13th in the NFL, which constitutes a massive improvement over the 59.3% clip and 26th-place ranking from last season.

The Redskins focus on improving on third down and in the red zone (on both defense and offense) paid off in a major way this season. That’s great and all, but I really wish they would have taken the same care to address their rushing defense woes. The fact that they didn’t really shows.

 

[skinsdad62]

The 2,146 yards and 4.55 YPC average they gave up on the ground this season represents their 4th worst showings in both departments in the last 20 years.

I’ll wrap this sad story up by giving you their rankings in rushing defense one more time: last in rushing yards (2,146), 29th in YPC average (4.5), 18th in rushing touchdowns (18), 28th in rushing first downs (105), 22nd in first down percentage (22.2%), 29th in rushing DVOA, last in adjusted line yards allowed (4.91) and last in success rate allowed (53%). Like I said, wow
