Darnold not good with a clean pocket

Darnold is so used to playing under duress he doesn’t seem to know how to throw in a stable situation. The Jets quarterback has the second-worst Pro Football Focus passing grade with a clean pocket (67.0) and three “turnover-worthy plays.” Darnold didn’t play poorly against the Giants, though, despite eight quarterback hits and two sacks.

Darnold could see a decent amount of pressure against the Redskins, which could play more into his style of play than a clean pocket. Though the Redskins have the fifth-lowest quarterback knockdown percentage (only 6.0 percent per pass attempt), they rank ninth in pressure percentage with 25.5 percent.
