Skins Stats & Snaps: Redskins @ Eagles (Offense)

The Washington QB Carousel- McCoy’s injury will mean that Mark Sanchez will start for the Redskins at quarterback next week. It will be his first start in over three years. Sanchez will be the team’s ninth starting QB in the last decade, which equates to just under one starter per year.

This will also be the third season since 1995 that three players will have started for the team at quarterback in a single year. McCoy, Robert Griffin and Kirk Cousins each started for the Redskins in 2014. Danny Wuerffel, Patrick Ramsey and Shane Matthews all started games in 2004.

Mark Sanchez (Traditional Stats)- Mark Sanchez took over for Colt McCoy and played the final 32 offensive snaps for Skins. On his very first snap, Sanchez handed off to Adrian Peterson and watched as AP took the rock 90 yards to the house. Sadly, handing the ball to Peterson might’ve been the most impressive thing he did all night.

He completed 13 of his 21 passes (61.9%) for 100 yards (4.76 YPA) for 4 first downs, no touchdowns, an interception, 2 sacks and an 8-yard rushing first down. His 53.7 passer rating ranks second-to-last by a Redskins QB this season (Alex Smith 29.1 vs. Texans).

This was the 20th time in his career that he has posted a QB rating under 60 in a game he threw 20 or more passes in. Only Joe Flacco, Eli Manning and Ryan Fitzpatrick have done that more since 2008, and they’ve had a lot more opportunities to do so.

He fumbled on one of his sacks and recovered it with the help of his butt (the butt recovery). Sanchez’s redemption of his infamous butt fumble means his career has now come full circle. He also made the tackle after the interception he threw.

The offense gained 90 yards and scored 7 points on Sanchez’s first snap, but gained just 89 yards and scored 3 points on his final 31 plays (2.87 yards per play)

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

defensive snaps

 

[skinsdad62]

Stacy McGee- Stacy McGee filled in for the banged up Matty I, his first start since Week 16 of last season, and boy, did he disappoint.

McGee set season highs in snaps played (26) and snap percentage (34.7%), but failed to record a single traditional statistic or to register a pressure of any kind. Here is the full stat line in his four games this season: 62 snaps, 2 solo tackles and one QB hurry. Last year he did make 44 tackles and registered 4 hits and 11 total pressures, but he did not record a single sack or create any turnovers.

I like Stacy McGee, but this production is simply not worth the $5M per-year contract the team gave the soon-to-be 29-year-old. In all honesty, the Redskins probably went 0-for-2 with their defensive linemen signings in the 2017 offseason (Terrell McClain).

dean touted these 2 when they were signed . both are/were overpaid . he was told they werent all that great either but he listened to hype pundits and doesnt look at film

 

[skinsdad62]

Ryan Anderson- Anderson played 10 snaps, registered one pressure (a hurry) and recorded a solo tackle on a 17-yard Zach Ertz reception before being forced from the game with a hamstring injury. His newly acquired bulky hammy will likely sideline him for a week or two

dean touted this bust as a replacement for TM

 

[skinsdad62]

Pernell McPhee- Anderson’s departure from the game, didn’t materially affect McPhee’s playing time (24% snap rate). The veteran outside backer hit Carson Wentz on the second official pass of the game and made a tackle on a 3-yard Josh Adams run, but was quiet, outside of that.

The hit was McPhee’s sixth of the year, which ranks third on the team and is very solid for a backup pass rusher; the problem is that he hasn’t sacked a quarterback in almost 14 months (10/22/2017 vs. Panthers). He’s also missed tackles (2) as often as he’s made a stop or recorded a TFL (2 combined) this season.

another bust dean advocated for as a replacement for trent

 

[skinsdad62]

Josh Harvey-Clemons- Josh Harvey-Clemons only played one defensive snap against the Eagles, which was easily a season low. He had seen the field for at least 8 snaps in every other game this year and had hit that number in all but one of his last 17 games (3 snaps at Chargers in Week 14 of last year).

Tell me why the team’s top coverage linebacker was in for one play when their opponent passed the ball nearly 40 times (39), because I’m not quite sure what prompted this drop in playing time for JHC (18 snaps at Cowboys).

Unsurprisingly, Harvey-Clemons did not crack the stat sheet for the first time this season

 

[skinsdad62]

Fabian Moreau- The uber-athletic Moreau has gone back-and-forth between good and bad games over the past month, fortunately, this was one of his plus showings.

He was targeted a team-high seven times, but only surrendered 2 receptions for 21 yards and a single first down on those throws. Moreau also scored a team-best 2 pass defenses, one of which came on third down. Those were, surprisingly, just the third and fourth PDs of his career.

The former UCLA DB made a game and career-high 9 tackles (7 solos). He forced a fumble inside Washington’s red zone on one of those plays, but Corey Clement recovered the ball and the Eagles found the end zone three plays later. Moreau’s career-best 3 forced fumbles are tied for the most on the team (Josh Norman and D.J. Swearinger).

His 68.3 PFF grade ranked third on the defense.

so why did Moreau play so well against the Texans and Eagles and so poorly against the Bucs and Cowboys? Well, one thing we can point to is that he plays primarily as an outside corner in the former set of contests and lined up mostly in the slot in the other two games

dean said this guy was a replacement for fuller . to bad he doesnt play slot well

 

[skinsdad62]

Greg Stroman- The rookie seventh-round pick played on 61 defensive snaps and an 81.3% snap rate against the Eagles, both numbers represented were the second-highest of Stroman’s young career. He lined up in the slot on 42 of his snaps (69%).

He had 6 targets thrown his way and allowed 5 receptions for 57 yards, 2 first downs and a touchdown on those passes. Most of that damage was done by Golden Tate, who caught a 6-yard TD against Stroman and beat him for a 32-yard gain on a 3rd-and-9 play, which was the Eagles’ second-longest play of the game. He has given up at least 40 receiving yards in every game he’s played more than one defensive snap in.

Stroman hit Wentz on his lone blitz of the night, but was flagged for roughing the passer for it. The penalty set the Eagles inside the Washington red zone and they scored on the very next play (14-yard Sproles run).

He did, at least, set new career highs in both solo (6) and total tackles (7). Two of those tackles were counted as stops, as he shut down a 1st-and-10 run for no gain and made a tackle a yard shy of the sticks on a third-down reception by Agholor.

this guy has had to step in early dean , why ? because fuller is gone adding to the weakness at CB

 

[skinsdad62]

Adonis Alexander- Alexander finally made his first career appearance on defense. He was inactive for seven of the team’s first 11 games and only worked in on special teams in four games he had suited up in.

The rookie supplemental draft pick out of Va. Tech played 10 snaps against the Eagles, seven of which came in coverage. He was targeted twice and gave up a chain-moving third-down reception to Zach Ertz on one of those plays. Alexander tackled Ertz after he had gained 6 yards on the catch.

should get more playing time vs giants

He also made a tackle 3 yards shy of the line to gain on a 2nd-and-10 Josh Adams rush.
