Here's what caught my eye:

- Remmers more effective in pass blocking than run blocking (bodes well for Cam's strong side protection)

- Josh Norman's penalties cost him -3. Would like to see that drop this year with his increased maturity and decision making.

- Norwell is a road grader when it comes to run blocking. Turner is a better pass protector.

- Philly Brown 1.5 in the running game? Did he run that many sweeps/reverses?

- Kawann seems to have developed into a better player (statwise) than Star. Maybe because Star's role is as more of a space eater?

- Cason -14.7 pass coverage rating. ughh. dude was leading in votes for CB at one point last year.

Philly our best WR according to PFF...

 

And our best in pass rating is Bersin, with 0.1.

 

Wow were our WRs bad last year.

Well... I know Kelvin had some drops and not enough YAC.  But still I'll take his 1008 yards, 9 TDs, and his dangerous playmaking ability.  If that's "BAD" I'm not too worried, especially remembering how often he was double covered.  With more receiving threats, we should be just fine.

I was surprised at the negative grades for Ealy, Horton & Addison.  I didn't realize that CJ was the only one of our primary DBs last year (obviously not counting Hardy or Alexander) with positive grades.  I had assumed we were ok, not great at this position.  Now, it's looking a little weaker than I thought. 

Would love a more knowledgeable commenter to help put these stats & the currently understood strengths/weaknesses of our DBs in perspective.  Thanks.

And here's to hoping Big Frank will play lights out this year!

Addison is mainly a pass rusher, hence his poor grade in the run and pass coverage. Horton is the opposite, providing solid defense against the run, but almost nothing in the way of pass rush.

the ealy thing is me mighty concerned.  someone tell me why I shouldn't be.

Rookie DE's rarely have a strong first year. Especially with how bad the secondary was behind him most of the year.

Ealy's first year: 4 sacks, 1 FF, 12 tackles

Hardy's first year: 3 sacks, 2 FF, 30 tackles

CJ's first full year (08): 6 sacks, 1 FF, 25 tackles

I was just commenting on PFF's grades, not my opinion.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
