Skura: Matt anchored effectively versus some big opponents. He was bulled for 2 full pressures by Nnadi (Q2, 2:17 and Q4, 7:34). He shared another pressure charge when bulled on a stunt by Jones (Q1, 7:19). He missed 4 bocks, 2 of which were less costly inability to make a block in level 2 to go with 2 loses at the LoS. He made 7 blocks in level 2, had 1 pancake, and connected on his only pull. He had a highlight combination block to tee up DT Xavier Williams for Bozeman, then blocked Hitchens in level 2 to lead Edwards 9-yard run.
Scoring: 78 plays, 71 blocks, 4 missed, 2.5 pressure, 66 points (.85 per play). That’s a
B after adjustment at center. I continue to see pleas to replace Skura at center, but his job is in no jeopardy. Matt had a C- season in 2018 at center, which was a solid contribution from a 2nd-year player who isn’t eating much cap. This year, he’s playing at more like a C+ level through 3 games, which is a significant step forward. I’ll say this…if he continues this level of play for the remainder of 2019 and takes another similar step forward in 2020, he’ll be a sought-after free agent prior to 2021.
