http://www.washingtonredskinsteamonline.com/adrian-peterson-jersey , QBSchool: Purdue | Conference: BIG 10College Experience: Senior | Age: 22?Height / Weight: 6-1 / 205 lbsIf you’ve never heard of David Blough before I don’t blame you. Blough has been a painfully average college CB thus far in his career. But this past weekend in primetime he played what is without a doubt the best game of his career. Blough picked apart one of the best defenses in the country and helped pull off a major upset of Ohio State. Blough played smart, cool, and composed on what probably was one of the biggest stages of his college career thus far and took advantage of a cocky Ohio State team who never recovered after he threw his first touchdown. Blough’s future as an NFL QB is very much up in the air but if there ever a performance you wanted to put on tape for scouts this was it. He finished this game going 25/43 for 378 yards and 3 TDs. Checkout timestamps: 3:56, 8:48, 9:02, 11:34, 17:23D.J. Knox, RBSchool: Purdue | Conference: BIG 10College Experience: Senior | Age: 22?Height / Weight: 5-7 / 210 lbsKnox has been putting together a solid season and he too was a big part in the upset win over Ohio State this past weekend. Knox is a short stocky running back but he is quick and has real break away speed. He has NFL skills and put them on display against certain future NFL players on the other side of the ball. Knox grinded out tough yards against OSU’s stout defensive front but it was when he got to the second level where he did his damage. Knox pulled of a few crucial long runs for touchdowns and helped cement Purdue’s decisive victory over the Buckeyes. He finished the evening with 16 carries for 128 yards 3 touchdowns and a reception for 26 yards. Kyler Murray, QBSchool: Oklahoma | Conference: BIG 12College Experience: Junior | Age: 21?Height / Weight: 5-10 / 195 lbsKyler Murray has been putting up crazy numbers in the BIG 12 and could have been featured in this series several times already. He’s featured today because he put up more crazy numbers against probably the best defensive team in the BIG 12. Murray and the Sooners embarrassed TCU who have a whole host of problems with their QB position among other issues. Murray is probably a bit of a polarizing player. He was drafted in the 1st round of the MLB draft by the Oakland A’s and his agent has hinted that Murray may go to the MLB after this season and not pursue football. With how well Murray is playing it would be difficult to believe that Murray and his agent would not be interested in leveraging his college football success against his prospects in the NFL as opposed to the MLB. Murray wouldn’t be the first player to chose the MLB over the NFL anyone remember what a good receiver Jeff Samardzija was for Notre Dame? But I think it would be strange if he just left the game of football and didn’t explore the best option. His journey will be interesting to follow as I am a fan of football and baseball. If he keeps putting up numbers like he did at TCU he may just be spoiled for choice in his options for future employment. Murray finished this game going 19/24 for 213 yards and 4 TDs along with 9 rushing attempts for 51 yards. Dezmon Patmon, WRSchool: Washington State | Conference: PAC 12College Experience: Junior | Age: 21?Height / Weight: 6-4 / 220 lbsGardner Minshew was featured in this series a couple of weeks ago for his ability to operate so prolifically out of Washington State’s Air Raid offense. Dezmon Patmon gets his feature now as he is one of Minshew’s top targets and he had an amazing 4th quarter catch for a TD’s to seal the game for Washington State against Oregon and he is putting together a nice season. Patmon is a height, weight, and speed guy and really fits the prototype physically when it comes to big bodied deep threats. Patmon runs ton of go routes and deep posts in Washington State’s offense and he has good enough athleticism that he can usually get a step on the coverage man as well as use his length and body to block out defenders to make the catch. The Redskins seems to like these types of players (see Josh Doctson, Robert Davis, Maurice Harris) and guys like this have been associated with pre draft buzz (see Josh Reynolds, Tajae Sharpe etc). Patmon will definitely be a player to keep an eye on the rest of the season and even more so if he decided to declare. He finished this game against Oregon with 6 catched for 81 yards and a touchdown. DefenseAntonio Blackmon, CBSchool: Purdue | Conference: BIG 10College Experience: Senior | Age: 22?Height / Weight: 6-0 / 195 lbsBlackmon was a key piece on the defensive side of the ball that helped Purdue in their upset. Blackmon much like his teammate Blough has virtually no household name recognition among those who watch college football unless you are a Purdue fan. Blackmon brought his A game in this one and for the better part of the evening stuck in coverage to Ohio State’s receivers. Blackmon’s most impressive feat though was breaking up not one, not two, but the potential touchdowns for Ohio State in the end zone. Simply put he never gave up on any play and even when he got beat off the LOS he worked his way back into position and fought for the incompletion. I love corners like this. To put a cherry on things Blackmon did this against who some consider the second best QB in college football and against one of the best teams in college football. He will definitely be one to watch and luckily for him he has the attitude along with the physical measurements to play at the next level. What’s left to determine is if he can do this consistently the rest of the season. Blackmon finished this game with 8 tackles and 2 passes defended. Checkout timestamps: 4:50, 7:55, and 13:00Josh Allen Authentic D.J. Swearinger SR Jersey , EDGESchool: Kentucky | Conference: SECCollege Experience: Senior | Age: 22?Height / Weight: 6-5 / 260 lbsYou guys have no idea how many times I searched ‘Josh Allen’ last year for clips, stats, and other information on Josh Allen the former Wyoming QB and got results for Josh Allen the EDGE out of Kentucky. Even though Josh Allen (QB) is in the NFL now I still expect the reverse to happen to me now during profile time. Its nice to be able to focus on this Josh Allen (EDGE) now as I think he is one of the best prospects at his position in college football. Allen was wise to return for his senior season instead of come out early because he is putting some of the best football he’s played on tape. Allen is a game changer on the defensive side of the ball and he showed up in force against Vanderbilt and helped Kentucky get a win in a close game. Allen has the length and flexibility NFL scouts covet at the position but he also has good speed off the EDGE and can make OTs look silly. He still needs to work on his counter moves but he has all the physical tools that give him dominant potential. Allen finished this game with 8 tackles (2 TFLs), 2 sacks, 1 FF, and 1 pass defended. Check out these timestamps: 0:20, 5:35, 12:28Parker Hesse, EDGE/LBSchool: Iowa | Conference: BIG 10College Experience: Senior | Age: 22?Height / Weight: 6-3 / 261 lbsHesse will get his feature this week because just like Josey Jewell last year Hesse is the typical Iowa Hawkeye. He is hard-working, relentless, tough, reliable, and consistent. Hesse is not going to blow people away with his 40 time but he may be in a bit of a better position as a prospect than Jewell was because of the position he plays. Hesse has played defensive tackle, defensive end, and linebacker at Iowa. He is likely too slow and big to play LB and he is likely too small to play defensive tackle in the NFL. Hesse could have an NFL future as an EDGE/DE prospect though and is likely a great fit for a 4-3 defense with the right scheme. He played a big role in blanking Maryland by putting constant pressure on the QB but he also plays the run well. Hesse finished this game with 5 tackles (2 TFLs) and a sack. Devin Bush, LBSchool: Michigan | Conference: BIG 10 College Experience: Junior | Age: 21?Height / Weight: 5-11 / 233 lbsBush has been a star linebacker for Michigan the past couple years. While this year’s EDGE class is potentially very solid when considering potential underclassmen who may declare the prototypical 4-3 OLB position is not well represented at the top of the draft outside of Bush. He definitely has the demeanor and attitude you want out of your outside linebacker and is a hailed as one of the leaders of the Michigan defense. Bush is fearless on the field and frequently takes on offensive lineman one on one and fights through blocks. I don’t think he’ll be as good of a pass rusher as he is in college but I think he still has some skills that will translate when getting to the QB at the next level. Bush finished this game with 4 tackles (1 TFL) and a sack. To be honest, there was no way for Washington to come out any worse than they did in their outing against the New Orleans Saints. Forget the “Primetime” element of the football game that is secondary to the issue at hand; with a great opportunity that rarely comes for Washington, they flat out wet the bed. Whether or not one thought the Redskins were going to win or lose coming into the game, the last thing that would have been taken into consideration would be the minimal effort by the players and coaches. There are a few things that need to be brought to light and discussed after such a game.An ugly loss against the Saints exposed a Gruden tenure coaching flawOver the five years Washington has been led by Gruden, opportunities such as a chance to take an early two-game lead on the rest of the division D.J. Swearinger SR Jersey Elite , or compile a decent win streak early in the year come very seldom. However, this is what makes these games most memorable; the Gruden-led Redskins came out flat and unprepared. This was one of the worst outings his teams have shown in some time but the point of preparedness, or lack thereof, remains. Post-game Gruden stated that his team played poorly and it was a reflection on himself, and he is absolutely correct. The issue with Gruden acknowledging the lack of preparedness by him and his staff is a flaw that can prove to be fatal. The rate in which he has admitted this post-game after blown opportunities in big spots continues to grow.The Players have a flaw too - Urgency and Awareness of what is at stake is not presentGruden has his issues that only he can worry about; however, the players run into issues in big games consistently as well. The Saints offense could do anything they wanted against the Redskins defense, the execution by the Saints along with the Redskins effort, resulted in a brief second-half benching of cornerback Josh Norman. It was terrible; the Redskins had a better team on the field than 2017 heading into this Monday night matchup against the Saints and found a way to lose the game in the first two quarters. The Redskins offensive line could not handle the Saints defensive front or their blitzes, and neither could quarterback Alex Smith, who played poorly, to say the least. The Redskins have time in and time out no matter who was the coach, underperformed in spots to prove they are better than the perceived thoughts of them and Monday Night was no different. The defense is not ready to shoulder the load for this team yetComing into the game the Redskins had the first-ranked defense in the NFL in points and yards, and obviously due to the early bye week, it looked better than what they were. The Redskins defensive line was a staple of this defense, controlling the line of scrimmage and making it difficult on opposing quarterbacks to sit in the pocket with little concern. Their most significant test of the season to date was against the Saints and it was a gauge to see where they truly stood in the ranks of other NFL defensive fronts. They are not ready yet. Jonathan Allen, Matt Ioannidis, and Daron Payne did not have to dominate the entire game to prove how good they were. The trio is young; dominating a good offensive line an entire game should not be an expectation, however making a noticeable difference should be expected. That was not the case; they still have a ways to go before being considered a top defensive front, because there are offensive lines just as good as the Saints the Redskins will face this year. “Pressure Percentage” ratings are overratedFor those who have made excuses for the edge rushers not being able to get sacks to this point in the season, the Saints game showed why pressure percentage ratings are overrated. All the pressures in the world mean nothing if you are unable to get home to the quarterback http://www.washingtonredskinsteamonline.com/d.j.-swearinger-jersey , and last night was another example of why many need to see the production of Ryan Kerrigan and Preston Smith for what it is. Their impact is minimal, and it is a problem. Playing with leads is essential for the Redskins offenseAlex Smith is a good quarterback, no question about it, but he is also a limited quarterback. Smith is incapable of keeping up in a shootout or getting a team back into games if the lead is too big, and a 20-point first half deficit was proven to be too costly. Smith is a quarterback who works well with a productive running game and balanced offense overall. If the Redskins struggle to run the ball effectively and even protect Alex, which was the case Monday, the Washington offense will struggle. Overall, it just was not a good game for Alex, even when things were going well during drives, he looked flustered and was off on throws he was not pressured on. It is imperative that Washington continue to emphasize getting ahead early in games moving forward, trailing and getting behind in games will be a great challenge for this team.Do not overreact too much this week, the Saints are Super Bowl contenders and showed whyBefore the start of the season, I firmly believed the Saints would contend and come out of the NFC to play for the Super Bowl in our season prediction article. The Saints showed why they are a force to be reckoned with Monday night, an elite offense with great balance alongside a defense that has the capability of settling down and getting back to their 2017 form. The Redskins did not even face them at full-strength and still experienced how great of a team they are, especially with a leader as great as Brees. Do not overreact as many do after losses, and the Redskins are not as bad as they showed against the Saints. The bigger question is; wherever you saw them before the start of the game, are they truly as good as you thought they were? One thing is for sure; they are not on the level of New Orleans.
