[TheSpecialJuan]

Best of the offense

 

1. WR Jalen Coker: 84.4
2. RB Miles Sanders: 72.5
3. RT Taylor Moton: 69.4
4. WR David Moore: 66.8
5. WR Xavier Legette: 66.0

Coker went for a career-high 78 receiving yards and pulled in his first NFL touchdown pass. His 84.4 grade is also a career-best.

Fellow rookie wideout Xavier Legette also visited the end zone, beating All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain II for a 6-yard score on Carolina’s opening drive.

Worst of the offense

 

23. WR Jonathan Mingo: 51.5
24. TE Ja’Tavion Sanders: 49.0
25. C Cade Mays: 47.7
26. C Brady Christensen: 45.9
27. TE Ian Thomas: 35.7

Mingo, on the other hand, recorded zero receptions for the second straight outing. He’s totaled one catch for one yard over his last three games.

Christensen, who has been rock-solid since taking over starting duties at center, had his roughest showing of the campaign. He was charged with three pressures.

Worst of the defense

 

18. DL DeShawn Williams: 53.5
19. DL LaBryan Ray: 53.4
20. ILB Trevin Wallace: 49.8
21. DL A’Shawn Robinson: 44.0
22. CB Chau Smith-Wade: 37.0

Despite his game-high 2.0 sacks, Robinson was charged with a team-worst 29.5 tackling grade.

Smith-Wade, in his second contest as the defense’s primary slot corner, was hit with a team-worst 38.0 coverage grade.

[TheSpecialJuan]

Best of the defense

 

1. DL Shy Tuttle: 89.9
2. OLB Jadeveon Clowney: 70.6
3. CB Mike Jackson: 69.0
4. DL Nick Thurman: 67.9
5. S Demani Richardson: 67.5

Tuttle was very active on Sunday—notching seven tackles, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.

Clowney was tied for team-highs in pressures (two) and stops (five).

What was Bryce's and Chuba's grade?

Random, but that false start on Brady was horseshit

Can someone explain the Wallace love to me bc I dont get it?

I just dont see it (talent), he comes across as unathletic and slow. But, maybe its just because this entire franchise has me jaded and I have no optimism...

I hope I am wrong

He started fine as a rookie and picked up the green dot which is a lot of added responsibilities.

I'm with you. I was hoping it was adjusting to the speed at this level but it's starting to look a little meh on his physical ability. I'm hopeful he can get better but that might be who he is on the field. TBD

Thomas is such trash. They could have saved millions by not having him around anymore lol.

Double digit tackles his first couple starts. I thought he caused that goal line fumble but I could be wrong. Athletically he has everything you want. He was considered pretty raw and needing time to develop at this level. The fact that he is playing and contributing now is impressive. Looks like he had a bad game which is expected thus early. 

9.5 RAS score. He might be slowing down on the field to try to figure it out.

No one can say Bust Young does not have weapons now. All this and he still looked like hot garbage. 

27. TE Ian Thomas: 35.7

Bam, old shitballs looks bad once again. Just stash him on the practice squad and be done with it. Why is he still here???

I am sort of gratified to see Christensen grade so poorly because I have not been impressed like others say they are.  
 

And Wallace, I liked the pick but I have lost faith that he will be anything. Slow, non instinctive, and that fumble he “caused”, he was standing there and the guy had his arms extended and rammed the ball into Wallace’s shin and it came out. Look what I found. 
And he wasn’t saddled with the green dot Sunday so I was watching for him a lot to see if he was any better without worrying with it. Not that I noticed.

He ain’t it. He makes a bunch of tackles because teams are attacking him directly but he’s having no discernible positive impact on the game.
