This isn't normal statistics though. I don't see how Olsen's pass catching impact could have been offset by his run blocking. I'm not doubting he wasn't good at blocking, I just doubt that his performance was equally as bad as his receiving was good. 

he probably didn't block much at all.  He was Cam's main target all game.

This is why PFF should be taken with a grain of salt... Olsen had a career day and is a .2

Olsen's 0.2 amuses me.

Who gives a poo how he blocked when he's going for 150 yards and two touchdowns 

I was thinking the same thing.

How was olsen downgraded so much due to pass blocking?

Olson must have missed an assignment or something, but he usually isnt used as a blocker.

I was wondering how much relevance should be put into these charts. I think maybe they are meant to help newbs who dont understand football because anyone watching the game knew that Olsen was the second best player on the field yesterday.

he probably didn't block much at all.  He was Cam's main target all game.  

He was in for 36 pass snaps and 29 run snaps, which means he's being asked to run block as half of his job.  If they run to his side on a third of those snaps and he's terrible, that means that 10 plays are potentially out the window.  Not an insignificant number.

That said he had a fatastic game as a receiver and it did not go unnoticed.  However, these ratings are on overall performance and we all mnow that Greg isn't a very good run blocker.

We got Richie Brockel for the run blocking.    Oh wait a minute. . .what exactly do we keep broccoli for?

I seriously doubt this coaching staffs evaluation talents when they keep Brockel over Swole Bones. They both play STs both TEs. Except Swole can actually play ST and can catch and block.  Brockels  a wasted spot must be married to or kin to a Rivera or Richardson

PFF stuff with a grain of salt

almost the whole Oline is in the positive yet we cant run the ball for poo. some of that has to fall on Stewart he seems to be slowing down in the whole. 

I think only a little bit is due to Stewart.   Like 1 in 3 runs for < 2 yard gain he might be missing a small hole he could have run through.  But for the most part it's just not there.  The line is just a big jumble of bodies with no real holes opening up.  Some RBs would bounce the ball outside every time they see that, and who knows...maybe that would be more successful for us right now.  But that's not Stewart's game and I don't think it's the game our coaching staff wants from their RBs.  That style requires good run blocking WRs (we don't have those), and gives you a much higher percentage of truly negative running plays.  Those are drive killers for this offense.

This!  But obviously, he's got a strong positive grade for his receptions, it's his run blocking that negates it.  Anyway, I'll take lots more games like this from Greg, no matter how PFF rates him!

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd edited to be more clear where he was ahead of league average, but realize it was easily missed, sorry.  I do hope he falls off a cliff production wise because if he actually continues at this pace it's highly likely the TDs come and then he'll be a real problem. Anyway, to the stats... Shough is substantially better than the average in completion percentage, YPG, and INT% (68% vs 64.4% and 237 vs 215 and 1.7 vs 2.2). He is pretty close to the average in Y/A (7.14 vs 7.1) and rating (91.63 vs 91.8). He is a bit below the average in TDs per game (1.3 vs ~1.5, which is hard to average exactly due to the number of players that are part of this stat), QBR (51.54 vs 54.7) and quite a bit below in TD% (3% vs 4.7%). In advanced stats, he's above the league average in intended air yards/attempt (8.1 v 7.7) and on target % (76.8 vs 74.6), while barely below is in bad throw % (16.1 vs 16.0). This jives with what I've seen - decent young player, playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter, on a bad team. I've always said (and this is true of Bryce too, I even mentioned it this year) that I am less concerned with 30+ yard bombs than consistency at 15+ yards, because you need to be able to threaten past the sticks. Shough is doing that. Vs us in week 15 he had ~one third of his passes 15ish or more yards and he was money on them, and that wasn't really an exception, he has had some nice throws outside of that.  All that said, dude is just super new to the league, and once film gets out, if he does have limitations they will be exploited. No way he can get OROTY. And thanks for the kind words - I am prone to hyperbole at times, but I'm also just impressed by Shough. We'll see if he can keep it up (I hope not, unless the Saints randomly trade him lol)

      To be fair, going from 2 wins, to 5 wins, to 8 wins at least is a pretty big positive no matter how insufferably miserable a select handful in this group want to make everything.

      Yeah Moore is definitely going to be a problem.  I remember he was the favorite for our job at one point in time.
