Season so far
Blake Cashman has delivered solid overall play through his first two games of the season, posting a 72.4 overall grade across 139 snaps. His production has been driven by elite interior blitzing, generating sacks in back-to-back weeks along with a quarterback hit that forced a fourth-down interception. In run defense, he diagnoses action quickly and reliably shoots gaps when kept clean, but he has been repeatedly vulnerable to getting sealed inside by climbing linemen and tight ends. Coverage remains his most inconsistent area, where lapses in hook zone depth and play-action recoveries are counterbalanced by timely, high-leverage pass breakups. Cashman's trajectory is positive, climbing from a 69.4 mark in Week 2 to a 73.9 performance in Week 3 on the back of his clutch fourth-quarter impact.
