Gay gave up all of his yardage in the first half. Biggest chunk was the 57 yard pass to Hartline.

Peterson was tested today, and he came off second best, he gave up a 30 yard pass to Hartline down the right hand sideline on a perfectly thrown ball which amounts to over half his yardage. He also gave up a chunk to Davonne Bess on a deep dig route. Overall he was rarely thrown at, the chunk he gave up he had perfect coverage downfield then made a slight mistake. His biggest mistake was a big contributor to the 80 yard TD, but more on that in another thread.

Sam Acho was consistently pushing the pocket. He really dominated Jake Long and on more than one occasion he almost bullrushed Long back into Tannehill.

Schofield looks to be getting healthier, he showed much more explosion off the edge and got o the QB for a big sack in the redzone. The Dolphins were looking to a playaction rollout. Run Action left, hope to draw the aggressive outside backer away from his contain assignment and give Tannehill time to make a throw. Schofield did not bit and made the big play.

Campbell did not get any pressure, but he did see consistent double teams and still got his hands on a few balls in the passing game.

Adrian Wilson had a near perfect game. He was great in coverage, that was a pick and a great diving pick at that. When asked to blitz he got good pressure on the QB and on the one pass he did allow to be completed he forced a fumble. Overall great day from Wilson.

Lenon had a good day rushing the passer but Washington looked all over the place especially early. He got better as the game went on, but often times was not getting enough depth on his zone drops and was getting stoned on the pass rush. We need big time D-Wash to be a big time defense.

PFF has Peterson with 3 catches for 44 yards, where's the other 15?

PP made those yards back on his fumble return. Anyhow he won't be moved to safety anytime soon.

That's where having Darnell Dockett in the lineup makes a world of difference.

I read somewhere yesterday that Wilson graded out as PFF's best coverage safety last year, have we underestimated Wilson's coverage ability and impact on the defense since his one bad year?

Wilson One on one against a TE never worked. I have noticed that Wilson has been very good in coverage this season though.
