Trailing 20-7 early in the third quarter on Sunday HaHa Clinton-Dix Jersey , the Eagles faced fourth-and-1 at their own 34-yard line. Doug Pederson is not like most coaches.Pederson kept his offense on the field and called a quarterback sneak for Carson Wentz, who picked up the first down. The Eagles would then march down the field for a touchdown on the possession, and from that point on they took control of the game and won going away.The FOX announcers said during the game broadcast that Pederson should punt, but Pederson said he didn’t consider that for a moment.“It was about a half a yard, so there was no hesitation. I was going for it there,” Pederson said after the game.Pederson has consistently shown a willingness to go for it on fourth down at times when other coaches won’t, and the results speak for themselves: He took over a moribund franchise and won a Super Bowl two years ago, won a playoff game last year and is 1-0 this year.Perhaps we need to start thinking of Pederson as the coach who does the safe thing, and the coaches who take the ball out of their quarterback’s hands on fourth-and-short, and give it to the punter instead, as the ones who are taking a risk. Johnathan Abram, SafetySchool: Mississippi State | Conference: SECCollege Experience: Senior | Age: 22Height / Weight: 5-11 / 205 lbsProjected Draft Status: 2nd or 3rd RoundNFL Comparison: DJ SwearingerCollege StatisticsPlayer OverviewJohnathan Abram is going to be a savage in the secondary for the team that drafts him in April.The Columbia, Mississippi native was considered a three-star recruit coming out of East Marion High School.Abram originally committed to playing for the University of Georgia as a result of heavy recruitment by defensive coordinator Chase Roullier Jersey , Jeremy Pruitt.Abram played his Freshmen season in Athens before current Head Coach Kirby Smart was hired by the Bulldogs and Pruitt left to become the defensive coordinator at the University of Alabama.After this coaching personnel shift, Abram decided to leave Georgia.For his Sophomore season he would play at Jones County Junior College in Mississippi.After that year 24/7 Sports ranked him as the 10th overall JUCO prospect.By leaving the conference completely, Abram was allowed to play in the conference of his choosing for his Junior and Senior seasons. For Johnathan’s Junior and Senior campaigns he returned to the SEC Conference, enrolled at Mississippi State University, and became a terror on the back end of their defense.Abram quickly became known as a big-hitter and enforcer in the SEC.In 2018, the Mississippi State Bulldog defense was the number one scoring defense in the country.Abram was a big part of that, along with his fellow draft prospect teammates Montez Sweat and Jeffery Simmons.Abram’s outstanding Senior season earned him AP First-Team All-SEC & Third-Team All-American honors.Abram is a downhill force against the run game and a more than acceptable coverage man in the passing game.He is a Safety who appears to diagnose a play quickly and get to the ball in a hurry.And in watching film, one thing is certain, he is not afraid of contact.However, his aggression can get the best of him at times as his adrenaline seems to send him into plays a bit out of control.With the correct coaching and patience, this should be able to get cleaned up at the next level.Strengths Hard hitting classic Strong Safety who plays with violent intentions. His coaches and teammates love his high motor and energy.Was not observed “taking plays off” on film Vocal team leader on the back end of the defense and in the huddleHas the range and speed in run support to get downhill in a hurry. Had 9 tackles for a loss as a Senior Above average blitzing skills that are ideal for an in-the-box type SafetyConsistently observed attempting to strip the ball away from the ball carrierPossesses a thick frame, which should help him stand up to the violent contact that comes with playing Safety in the NFLWeaknessesNeeds to improve his ball skills, only generated two interceptions in his college career. Seems to struggle with tracking the ball in the air. Aggressive style at times has led him to overrun plays and take bad angles. Needs to do a better job of playing under control and cutting down the missed tacklesPlays with stiffness in his hips Quinton Dunbar Jersey , which can be a liability in man coverageHe could stand to raise his target as many times he just throws himself at the ankles of the running back or receiverLet’s See His Work:How He Would Fit On The RedskinsWith a hole at Safety created by the release of defensive captain DJ Swearinger the Redskins could look to the draft to fill a need.Currently the roster has Montae Nicholson (probable suspension coming for involvement in a physical altercation), Troy Apke (a project at the position who would need to make enormous strides to be a large contributor this year), Adonis Alexander (Another project and former supplemental draft pick), and Deshazor Everett (meh) slotted as possible starters at Safety for next season.Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is an unrestricted free agent and may decide to sign elsewhere.Even if they were to re-sign Clinton-Dix, more help is needed.Abram could come in and immediately start at Strong Safety for the Redskins.His playing style is eerily similar to Swearinger, so the defense could move forward without missing much of a beat.While he may not have the “swag” or the mouth that DJ had, he has the potential to be an early contributor and future defensive leader.Plus, it would be wise for the Redskins to bring in a player with his prowess for attacking running backs.After all, we play in a division that features Ezekiel Elliott and Saquon Barkley.Should he be available when the Skins are picking on day two of the draft, Abram could be just what the doctor ordered for the team’s secondary.Will he even still be on the board by then?Stay tuned Skins fans.
