Jadaveon Clowney - 59.8 (27 snaps) - 71.1 run defense grade, 60.7 pass rush grade, 71.7 tackling grade - never became the force he was projected to be coming out in the draft, but he hustles like he's a UDFA fighting for a spot. He lifts others efforts up.

Span-ford needs more time special teams is only how many plays out of a game, that shouldn't harm him from getting more time. He doesn't need to be in for every play, but an increased role absolutely

Shavon Revel - 53.0 (39 snaps) - 62.1 run defense grade, 51.3 coverage grade, 29.5 tackling grade - his burst has not come back as of yet

He's thinking too much. Reps are his best friend right now. He has shown some good signs in coverage though. Id say future is still bright for him

Of course, he's a rookie in his second game as a pro after over a year off and zero training camp.

Chasing CD and Pickens around in practice only helps the kid.

 

[Sydla]

55 for Lamb seems............ generous. LOL.

 

[America's Cowboy]

What is CeeDee's rating?

 

[CT Dal Fan]

This about matches what we saw on the field yesterday.

Probably the best game Sam Williams ever played; though the forced fumble probably elevated his grade immensely. I've been tough on Sam and I hope he continues to prove me wrong.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Malik Davis' grade looks a little low. What did he do wrong?

 

[dupree89]

all I care about is Georgie P. I think he is the most talented guy on the roster- offense or defense. The guy is incredible.

 

[big dog cowboy]

What is CeeDee's rating?

OFFENSE

Cedarian Lamb - 55.0 (63 snaps) - needs to wake up and fast

7 drops the last 2 games.

 

[thunderpimp91]

Malik Davis' grade looks a little low. What did he do wrong?

I would assume just a product of a low snap count. Without a standout type of play to push the grade up its tough to really get a high grade. Kinda the opposite for Sam Williams who only had about 20 snaps, but that FF helped get him a nice little boost to get an elite overall grade despite some not so great run/pass scores.

I don't understand how he isn't taking Schoonmakers spot. Schoon offers nothing. He should be able to take all off Schoonmakers snaps. Heck if we move Luepke to play some TE I can see us making Schoonmaker inactive on game day, if needed.

 

[jblaze2004]

Kenneth Murray and Donovan Wilson those tackle grades are terrible. And Bland if you are going to be that bad at tackling you better be a beast at covering a WR and getting turnover lol.

 

[plymkr]

I never thought I’d see the day that Sam Williams had a 94 rating.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I didn’t even know some of those guys played. Thought Solomon was still hurt and didn’t see Trickweze….

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

55 for Lamb seems............ generous. LOL.

The catch on Dejean must’ve boosted his grade:

 

[Xizor]

Might be time to make Nate Thomas the permanent starter.

 

[Coogiguy03]

I don't understand how he isn't taking Schoonmakers spot. Schoon offers nothing. He should be able to take all off Schoonmakers snaps. Heck if we move Luepke to play some TE I can see us making Schoonmaker inactive on game day, if needed.

maybe he doesnt' have the best hands, maybe it's the 2nd round pick status, but hey, coach has been changing things up, I don't see why we can't change up things at TE

 

[McKDaddy]

Ask yourself honestly, was Booker was the 5th best OL on the field yesterday?

Granted, I do agree Tyler & Terrence probably played their best games yesterday ... but I can't get on board with grades saying he & Beebe are the least effective run blockers.

Anyone with quarter a brain can see they are the engine for the running game.
