How Many Sacks is the over/under Griffen V. Clemmings?
- From PFF
- T T.J. Clemmings vs. Edge Everson Griffen – With All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams set to miss another game as he recovers from a knee injury, the stage is set for T.J. Clemmings to make his third consecutive start. Clemmings has been far from perfect in pass-protection so far and has allowed two sacks, two hits and four hurries on the 79 pass-blocking snaps he’s played in the last two weeks, resulting in a pass-blocking efficiency of 91.8 that ranks 32nd of 37 offensive tackles with at least 50 snaps during that span. Entering the contest, Clemmings will have considerable experience squaring up against Everson Griffen, so hopefully he can use that to his advantage. Any prior experience against Griffen can be helpful, as the eighth-year pass-rusher is playing at an extremely high level this year. Through nine weeks, Griffen has produced 35 pressures from 273 pass-rush snaps, and his nine sacks from the right side of the line lead the league’s 4-3 defensive ends.

I'm gonna go 2.5, though I'm sure they'll give Clemmings help.
Expect the Redskins to give Clemmings TE help on Griffen. Clemmings is fundamentally unsound. And no way that Washington has solved that im since Clemmings was cut at the end of training camp

And no way that Washington has solved that im since Clemmings was cut at the end of training campI dont care who is playing LT, as hot as Griff has been this year in getting after the QB I would be expecting help for the LT on any pass play that is looking to pass more than 5 yards downfield.
I’m pretty sure their All-Pro, Williams, is playing this week...
NFLN reports all 5 of the Redskins regular starting OL will be out there today....no free pass for Griff.

Not feeling the most confident. But time for Minnesota to start solidifying themselves as a contender in the NFC for the 2nd half of the year and a win in this game will prove that.

I think this is really going to come down to us getting a lead early and then being able to establish a running attack. Murray could be the X factor in this game IMO.@"JimmyinSD" said: NFLN reports all 5 of the Redskins regular starting OL will be out there today....no free pass for Griff.

The Redskins have had a difficult schedule the first eight weeks, with six games against teams who are a combined 38-13; the Vikings have played two games against teams above .500. That's not to say the Vikings aren't good -- it's to put each of their records into perspective. The Redskins' defense has played six QBs ranked among the top 12 in Total QBR; the Vikings have faced one (they get their second on Sunday). So there might not be a big gap at all between these teams based on what they've faced to this point. Redskins 20, Vikings 17 -- John Keim
Norman has only covered the slot 3% of his snaps. That's huge as it means he'll primarily be on Diggs instead Case's security blanket Thielen.
Washington has not been strong against Slot WRs and TEs. If Adam and Kyle have big games that will go a long way towards a win.
Kerrigan vs. Hill will also be big. I'm with Sticky (a sure sign of an impending apocalypse), this game makes me nervous. Expecting a close loss for the Vikings today.
To echo others, this will be a tough game. The Vikings can win this game, but the defense needs to get after Kirk Cousins and stop Thompson out of the backfield. Kendricks and Barr need to have big games in coverage.
Ioannidis is out and is their best run stuffer. Murray needs to make the most of his opportunities between the tackles. The Vikings can win this game, but need to avoid costly penalties and turnovers to come home with a victory (I know, Captain Obvious).
Hopefully the Vikings can get a big conference road win this week!!!
BOOM
Just saw him on the team bus congratulating our military. I'd say he's good for 2 sacks!
