Troy Dye, now suiting up for the Los Angeles Chargers, racked up a tackle, a sack, a tackle for loss, a QB hit, AND a forced fumble against our Seattle Seahawks this past Week 4. It’s tough to watch an opponent put up those kinds of numbers when they’re playing against the green and blue.
When a Former Viking Comes to Play (Against Us!)
Yeah, our Seahawks were on the field for Week 4, and while the main story out of the source material isn’t about *our* guys, it definitely caught my eye that a former Minnesota Viking, linebacker Troy Dye, absolutely showed out against us. Dye was on the field for 33 total snaps, split between defense and special teams. And get this: 1 tackle, a full 1.0 sack, 1 tackle for loss, 1 QB hit, and he even forced a fumble! Add in a special teams tackle and an assist, and that’s an 89.5 PFF grade. That’s a disruptive performance, and seeing those stats against our squad stings a bit, no doubt. We’re always watching the opponents closely, especially when they come into our house.
Old Friends Still Making Noise Around the League
Beyond the sting of Dye’s performance against the Hawks, a few other familiar faces from their old team made some noise around the league in Week 4. Over in Vegas, Kirk Cousins, quarterback for the Raiders, had himself a big day, slinging it for 365 passing yards, tossing 2 touchdowns, even with 1 interception, on 31 completions out of 52 attempts. His 74.9 PFF is solid.
Then you had defensive end DJ Wonnum for the Detroit Lions grabbing a sack, two QB hits, and a tackle on 42 snaps. Cam Bynum, the safety for the Indianapolis Colts, was all over the field with a tackle, a pass defensed, and a QB hit, pulling in an impressive 80.3 PFF. And Dalton Risner, the guard for the Cincinnati Bengals, put in a full game with 77 snaps and a strong 75.2 PFF. We even saw wide receiver Laquon Treadwell reel in 5 receptions for 42 yards for the Colts. It’s always interesting to see where these guys land and how they perform.
It was an active Week 4 for a bunch of these players. We’ll be keeping an eye on how they continue to impact their teams as the season rolls on.
