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

Matt Ioannidis- Matt Ioannidis has struggled since suffering a shin injury in Week 12 (at Cowboys), and it showed again on Sunday.

He was only out there for 22 snaps (42.3%), which was his fourth-lowest total of the year. Three of Matty I’s four lowest snap counts and percentages have come in his last three games.

Ioannidis made a tackle that stopped a Jacksonville run after a gain of a yard, but that was his only tackle on the day, which is tied for his lowest tackle figure in a game he played more than 3 snaps in this season.

He rushed the passer 14 times in the contest, but only generated pressure on one of them (a hurry).

The Ion Man racked up 4.5 sacks, 2 QB hits, 17 total pressures and 14 tackles between Weeks 8 and 11. Since suffering his injury in Week 12 he’s not recorded a sack or a hit, has registered just 3 pressures and has only made 5 tackles. Clearly the injury has taken a toll on his production

Tim Settle- Tim Settle received his lowest snap total (11) since Week 11. Like in that game against the Texans, Settle did not record a single traditional stat and was unable to generate any pressures.

Settle’s career-low 28.9 PFF grade ranked dead last on the team and 2nd worst among all interior defenders in Week 15 (min. 10 snaps).

Caleb Brantley- Brantley, like Settle, was a total zero in terms of statistical production, he just had two fewer snaps to work with (9). You would think that at least one of them would’ve cracked the box score between their 20 combined player snaps

Shaun Dion Hamilton- Shaun Dion Hamilton started and played exactly 28 defensive snaps for the second consecutive week. His snap total may have been the same, but he saw his snap share jump for the fourth consecutive game: 0% (Week 11) > 5.7% (Week 12) > 6.7% (Week 13) > 43.8% (Week 14) > 53.8% (Week 15).

SDH finished the game with 4 tackles (2 solo), with three of those being made within 2 yards of the line of scrimmage or behind it.

The tackle made behind the LOS was a sack that Hamilton split with Preston Smith. This was the rookie’s first career sack of any kind. The play was made on his only pass-rushing snap in the game. He’s generated pressure on 3 of his 5 pass rushes this season (60% pressure rate).

SDH’s career-best 85.6 PFF grade ranked second on the team.

Josh Harvey-Clemons- Hamilton’s emergence has coincided with Josh Harvey-Clemons seeing his playing-time on defense take a nosedive. Here are JHC’s snap counts and percentages since SDH made his first appearance on defense in Week 12: 18 (25.7%) > 1 (1.3%) > 8 (12.5%) > 6 (11.5%). He’s seen two of his three lowest snap shares in the last year come in the past three weeks.

Harvey-Clemons was targeted on one of his 4 coverage snaps and did not give up a catch on the play. He’s only given up one catch (7 yards) in the team’s last five contests.

He rushed the passer on his other 2 snaps and registered a hurry on one of them.

ok my focus on defense was on some of our young guys at ILB and the d/line

the reason for this will become clear in my after season review

Skins Stats & Snaps: Redskins @ Jaguars (Offense)

osh Johnson (Starting to Win)- This was Josh Johnson’s first start since Week 13 of the 2011 season, which took place 7 years and 12 days before Sunday’s game. That is the longest gap between starts for a player since Todd Collins went 10 years and 2 days between starts (1997-2007).

Not only was this the first start in forever for Johnson, it was his first ever career win as a starter. He is the oldest QB to win his first start since Jamie Martin with the Rams did it in 2005 at the age of 35. Johnson was 0-5 as a starter prior to Sunday’s game. In fact, he was 0-10 in games in which he threw three or more passes in.

This was also the first time a Washington QB led a fourth-quarter comeback and a game-winning drive since Kirk Cousins did it in Week 9 of last season (at Seattle).

Josh Johnson (Traditional Stats)- Johnson completed 16 of his 25 passes for 151 yards, 11 first downs, a touchdown and no interceptions. This was just the first time since Weeks 4 and 5 of the 2009 season that Johnson threw TDs in back-to-back games.

His 93.9 passer rating, 64% completion rate and 6.04 YPA were his second, third and fourth best results in a game he attempted ten or more passes in (out of 8 games).

one wonders how we didnt play him over sanchez

Jeremy Sprinkle- This was easily the most productive game of Jeremy Sprinkle’s career, who was the primary beneficiary of injuries to Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis.

The second-year tight end set new season highs in both snaps (41) and snap share (60.3%); he topped his previous highs by 7 snaps and 15.5 percentage points.

In his first 24 career games, Sprinkle had only tallied 2 receptions, 13 receiving yards, 2 first downs and 1 touchdown. He matched or exceeded all of those totals in Sunday’s game alone.

Matt Flanagan- Rookie Matt Flanagan started and played 22 snaps in what was the first game of his career. He was used as a fullback on ten those of plays, which is the same number of snaps Ryan Anderson had taken at that position all year.

Flanagan did not get any touches on the day, but he did earn a 70.7 grade from PFF, which was the third-highest rating on the offense.
He corralled all three of his targets for 19 yards, 2 first downs and a touchdown. His non-scoring first down and his game-tying TD both came on the final three plays of the team’s penultimate drive. No other player scored an offensive or defensive touchdown in the contest. good game blocking

Chase Roullier- Like Nsekhe, Roullier only surrendered one pressure in the game, but it was his third QB hit allowed of the year. underrated

JJ was sacked three times and fumbled on one of those plays, but the ball was recovered by a Washington lineman. This was the first time in the last five weeks that a Washington signal caller did not commit a single turnover.

He was particularly clutch in this one, as he went 6-for-7, gained 71 passing yards, picked up 5 first downs and scored his only touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Josh Johnson (Advanced Stats)- Johnson did not throw a single-turnover worthy pass per PFF and he posted the eighth highest QBR in Week 15 (70.6).

Josh Johnson (Rushing)- Johnson set new career highs in rush attempts (9) and yards (49) in this game. Two of his runs went for 10 or more yards, one of which went for a first down. He also had an 18-yard rush get negated by a penalty.

In all, he produced 200 yards of offense and 12 first downs in the contest.

Johnson is on pace to rush for 188 yards this season, which is just 51 fewer yards than Alex Smith, Colt McCoy and Mark Sanchez gained on the ground this year combined.
