PFF Grades for Preseason Game 1

Always interesting:

Top 5 Grades
S Corey Moore, 85.8 overall grade

LB Zach Cunningham, 84.5 overall grade

EDGE Gimel President, 82.7 overall grade

DI Brandon Dunn, 81.3 overall grade

S Kurtis Drummond, 79.7 overall grade

Performances of note:
QB Deshaun Watson, 79.0 overall grade
Watson’s debut was solid, albeit unspectacular. While he completed 15-of-26 aimed passes, he went just 4-for-12 on throws that traveled at least 10 yards through the air. This was largely due to him sailing several seam routes, something he was prone to do at Clemson as well. While he also seemed to struggle processing information in the secondary, and vacated the pocket early on a number of instances, the Texans have to be encouraged by the fact he didn’t force a single ball into a bad spot tonight.

RG Josh Walker, 79.5 overall grade
Walker put in a strong performance, surrendering just one hurry on 32 pass blocking reps. He also performed well in the run game, as his 81.2 run blocking grade was second-best on the Texans’ roster.

LB Zach Cunningham, 84.5 overall grade
Cunningham didn’t leave notions of his progress to the imagination on Wednesday night, as he took the field in his first NFL game, and led the team with eight total tackles. Not only that, but he also closed out the night without missing a tackle, and permitted only four yards on 19 coverage snaps to average a paltry 0.21 yards per snap in coverage.

S Corey Moore, 85.8 overall grade
Speaking of impressive performances in coverage, Moore saw 16 snaps without allowing a single reception, and also came away with the interception thrown by Panthers QB Joe Webb as time wound down at the end of the first half. His coverage grade following the conclusion of the first preseason game: 89.0.

PFF Game Ball: Zach Cunningham

With his oustanding play against the run (87.1 run defense grade), the Texans’ rookie backer is tonight’s top player. He produced eight total tackles tonight (five of them of the solo variety), and in coverage gave up just one catch for four yards.

Glad to see Cunningham as the top graded guy... we really need him to step up and be a viable replacement for Cush.
