Who? Well Levani may be unknown he at least made hisself known to Trey Lance with his 1 pressure!

Advanced Coverage Stats
I’ve added to this since the last one. In this we will breakdown the amount of attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns, interceptions, blanketed coverage (0 yards of separation) and Target Share (Total attempts thrown their way while in man coverage compared divided by the total amount they were in man coverage completely). Trying to show how often a certain player may be avoided or not thrown at either do to their sticky coverage or name!
Dallas Cowboys- Tre White
Tre White was tied with targeted the most out of anyone while in man coverage with a 33% target share. In that he was targeted 6 times total in 18 man coverage opportunities. In those 6 targets he allowed 3 catches for 24 yards and 1 interception. In those 6 attempts he also was attached to the hip with 4 blanketed coverages! Very sticky!
Dallas Cowboys- Trevon Diggs
Tre Whites counterpart Trevon Diggs wasn’t nearly as active as White was. In 18 man coverage opportunities the younger Diggs was only targeted 3 times for a 17% target share. In those 3 attempts made his way he allowed 2 receptions for 20 yards and blanketed his receiver on 1 of those routes!
Dallas Cowboys- Jessie Bates
Former Falcon Jessie Bates was in man coverage 9 times and was only targeted 1 time for a target share of 11%. He did however allow a catch in that 1 target for 32 yards.
Dallas Cowboys- Damone Clark
Damone Clark was targeted 3 times in 11 man to man opportunities for a target share of 27%. In those 3 targets he was BBQ Chicken! Receivers went 3 for 3 with 121 yards and 1 touchdown!
Dallas Cowboys- Eddie Jackson
Eddie “Lockdown” Jackson had 15 routes guarded in man to man coverage and was only targeted 1 time! That gives him a target share of 7%. With that 1 target he didn’t allow a single reception!
Dallas Cowboys- DaRon Bland
Bland wasn’t involved much but had 3 man to man opportunities and 1 target in those opportunities tying Tre White with the highest target share of 33%. That 1 target was completed for 29 yards!
Dallas Cowboys- Malik Hooker, Leighton Vander Esche, DeMarvion Overshown, Donovan Wilson
All received man to man responsibilities and didn’t get targeted 1 time. Vander Esche had the most volume out of the bunch with 6 opportunities.
Denver Broncos- Nik Bonitto
Not a very man heavy scheme in Denver. Bonitto had 1 man to man opportunity in which he did get targeted for a 100% target share when put in man coverage. In that 1 attempt he allowed a completion for 11 yards total.
Denver Broncos- Keon Sabb
Sabb unlike Bonitto saw more than 1 man to man opportunity with a total of 2. In those 2 man to man attempts he had 1 target for a 50% target share. Receivers went 1 for 1 against him with 13 yards but they were blanketed by Sabb in the process!
Denver Broncos- Damarri Mathis, Jacoby Matthews, Marshon Lattimore, Patrick Surtain II
All these players had 2 or 3 man to man opportunities against the pass and didn’t get picked on once!
Conclusion!
Denver Broncos being very zone or match heavy against the Cowboys didn’t allow for a lot of coverage stats from the Broncos or Separation Stats from the Cowboys! In the end the man to man Cowboys were extremely effective (besides Damone Clark). Let me know if you’re enjoying the series and would like to see a breakdown like this of your next game!
