— QB Kirk Cousins (+0.9) did what he needed to do to win this game, but not much more than that. He finished with a +0.4 passing grade, throwing plenty of short throws and letting receivers do the rest. Of his 27 attempts, only five of them were thrown beyond 10 yards downfield, of which he completed two for 56 yards. Of his 203 yards, only 91 of them were in the air, the rest being gained after the catch. That percentage (44.8% YIA) was the sixth-lowest among QBs across the league this week.
— A great day for DE Jason Hatcher (+3.7) rushing the passer that doesn’t show up in the sack column due to the Rams’ strategy of quick passes. Hatcher had five QB hurries and finished with a +4.9 pass rush grade, which was the highest among either team. He struggled elsewhere however, finishing the game with no tackles and a -1.3 run defense grade.
— The Redskins did well to win the game considering the very poor play of C Kory Lichtensteiger (-10.0). He was constantly beaten when pass blocking, surrendering a sack, a QB hit and an additional hurry en route to a -4.3 pass block grade. His run blocking was arguably worse (-5.8). If you take away RB Alfred Morris’ (-2.4) 35-yard run (a zone play where Lichtensteiger received double team help), the Redskins ran the ball on either side of Lichtensteiger 10 times and gained 11 yards. The Redskins averaged 6.33 yards per carry (27 rushes for 171 yards) everywhere else in the game.

After listening to Cooley's film breakdown on the offense yesterday evening I put zero (0) faith in this.
He compared the grades PFF gave Trent to his own observations and said PFF was flat out wrong
He basically said if Trent played like he did against the Rams he will be in the Probowl.
He said coaches should use Trent's film from last Sunday as an example to show young tackles how to play the position.
Yet, PFF had Trent very close to 0. I believe it was a negative score but I can't remember for certain.

Hour 2 from 9-22-15
He did ding Corey on some pass plays but credited him with getting to the second level and making the block that sprung some of the biggest runs of the game.
If PFF is that wrong about Trent's play, then it, they, he, whatever, could be and probably is wrong about others.
I trust Cooley's analysis more than . . .
Not sure what goes in the blank there.
