In Season Redskins Roster Grades

[Bangee7]

Matt Jones is definitely improving, but 3rd seems high.

I would have him closer to 7 or 8 overall...

DeMarco, Devonta Freeman, David Johnson, Isaiah Crowell (that kid is tough), Christine Michael , LeSean McCoy (I'd flip a coin between him & Eddie Lacy)

But, he's definitely improving and hopefully keeps moving upwards

I don't know why this made me LUL, but it definitely did. Most random thing I've seen since those boobs with faces on them that got posted here a few years ago.

Me too, but no way that lasts. No one just comes in and dominates the league for an entire season as a rookie. He'll even out.

Cooley's Grades for the offense against Baltimore from his film breakdown on 980:

10 Hall of Fame
9 All Pro
8.5 Pro Bowl
8.0 Really Good NFL Starter
7.0 Average NFL Starter (everybody starts here)
6.0 Back Up
Less than 6 looking for a job.
His grading scale seems to be tweaked from week 1 with the distinction between All Pro and Pro Bowl.

Cousins 6.9

Jones 5.4
Thompson 8.0

Djax 8.5
Garcon 9.0
Crowder 8.3

Reed 7
Davis 7

Trent 9.4
Lavau 6.6
Long 7.2
Scherff 7.3
Moses 8.0

Jones is the glaring weakness according to Cooley from the game. He has been predicting all week that Kelly will see a lot more snaps against Philly.

He docked Kirk for leaving a lot of yards on the field for choosing the wrong receiver and of course the interception but was also inaccurate on several balls. He didn't kill him though.

The most interesting criticism was on Scherff. Says he is at his worst when he has to loose on screens. Is really good on most everything else.

Cooley's Grades for the Defense against Baltimore from his film breakdown on 980:

10 Hall of Fame
9 All Pro
8.5 Pro Bowl
8.0 Really Good NFL Starter
7.0 Average NFL Starter (everybody starts here)
6.0 Back Up
Less than 6 looking for a job.

Murphy 9.4
Smith 8.5

Baker 8.2
Ioannidis 8.1
Hood 8.0
Francois 7.5
Jenkins 7.4

Foster 9.0
Compton 8.9

Norman 9.0
Toler 8.5
Fuller 8.5
Dunbar 7.3

Ihenacho 8.4
Blackmon 7.5

Everybody on the defense he says was above average.

Awesome stuff, thanks for posting Jelly

I've thought for a few weeks Ihenacho should be starting.. Also glad to see Cooley thought so highly of Ioannidis, did not think he would contribute much this year

Btw I had plenty of reservations about the signing, but I'm finally on Norman bandwagon, he gets beat sometimes like anybody but he's a damn good playmaking corner and brings so much character to this defense, through 5 weeks he is definitely worth the 75 million imo

Thanks.

What he mentioned about Ioannidis was his motor and hustle. He says he is slow, and is never going to be a guy who can get to the QB but plays gap responsible and is strong. He was in on several tackles out of pure determination.

[Evilgrin]

I knew Murphy was good from the eye test, didn't think he was that good. Really surprised.

From PFF yesterday after the game:

Trent Williams earning All-Pro billing

Trent Williams has consistently graded amongst the league’s top tackles, but has always been somewhat overlooked due to the proximity of elite talents like Jason Peters and Tyron Smith. Should this form persist, however, Williams’ exploits will be hard to ignore. He gave up only one hurry on 41 dropbacks, and facilitated a number of long runs with cutoff blocks on the backside of Washington’s trademark outside zone. Williams’ athleticism makes him a match for any linebacker at the second level, and his power ensures he’s rarely beat once in position. Rarely does a tackle inflict fear in opposing defenses, but Williams is a special player.

[JoeRedskin]

With the exception of 96-99, and since 1981, we have had some kick ass left tackles:

1981 - 88 Joe Jacoby (Four Pro-Bowls, Two All-Pro)

1989 - 95 Jim Lachey 89-95 (w/ Skins - Two Pro-Bowls, Two All-Pro)

1996 - 99 [Ed Simmons/Shar Pourdanesh/Tony Drake/Andy Heck]

2000 - 09 Chris Samuels (Six Pro Bowls, One All-Pro)

2010 - ?? Trent Williams (Four Pro-Bowls).

That's a pretty impressive run.

good call, i forgot williams came in right when samuels retired.

i was just thinking about tre johnson today, that made me think about good ol' shar.

[JoeRedskin]

According to Wikipedia, Tre' Johnson is now a history teacher and coach at an upscale private school in Bethesda, MD. Just a random FYI. He was one of those guys who would've fit right in with the Hogs.

Shar Pourdanesh - still the only Iranian American NFL player.
