 It looks like PFF has two rookies, Williams and Marlowe, leading the pack. Not a bad start for the class of 2015.

Boomer fuging Sooner.

Could Marlowe push out Boston? Boston seems to be with the 2s right now and Marlowe seems to be on the rise.

But,  but,  what are Devin Funchess and especially Cam Newton doing on this list?

This has real value. 

It might not grade "your" player well, but on average, it's a set of skilled eyes grading things like blocking in a way no one here can.  It doesn't mean, in 20 plays, for instance that a career is over.  Game 1 of preseason isn't the end-all, be-all determinant (I saw a "cut Ealy" in the other thread and an all but "it's OK that Lee Ward had a -1" - turns out falling off your man in the hole isn't universally accepted) of a player's career.   Right now, positive is a nice thing to have, but a few negatives aren't catastrophic.

This years robert lester.  solid PS player they could bring up later. 

[WUnderhill]

Cam really needs to improve his pass block for me to be sold on him as a franchise QB.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Boston has had a quiet camp, didn't hear a lot of bad so surprising to hear that he's not running with the ones

[Kuech the Sneak]

Also, love me some Daryl williams, might have been my favorite pick

[Ace_Aladdin]

He needs to be the starting RT by  the 1st regular season game.

[WOW!!]

Pff breakdown and Grain of salt should always be connected one way or another. ..

Trusnik makes the list but Glanton doesn't. Classic PFF.

Glanton did make the list...

 

Of the bottom 10. Sometimes players have a few bad snaps. Don't read too much into a quarter of one preseason game.

[DeeJay]

Darly fuging williams ladies and gents!!

LULZ

Trusnik makes the list but Glanton doesn't. Classic PFF.

Rivera himself said he was dissapointed and disgusted by the defense. Glanton was a big part of that in terms of snapcount and many here said he didnt look great. Why is that "LULZ"? It fits with the coaches reaction and what happened on the field.
