PFF Pittsburgh game grades

Joe Webb earns solid grade in four quarters of action

Quarterback grade: Joe Webb, 65.8

The Panthers gave us four quarters of Joe Webb, and the results were a surprisingly-solid performance overall. He missed on a few throws, including a near interception in the red zone by Steelers rookie Artie Burns, but Webb also dropped a couple of excellent passes just over the underneath zones of the Pittsburgh defense, particularly on a post route early in the fourth quarter to WR Brenton Bersin.

Top offensive grades

G Chris Scott, 78.8

WR Brenton Bersin, 78.7

T Donald Hawkins, 76.4

T Jordan Rigsbee, 71.0

HB Jalon Simmons, 68.1

WR Brenton Bersin puts forth another strong preseason showing

In catching six of the seven balls thrown his way last night, Brenton Bersin climbed to 10th overall in receiving yards this preseason despite playing only three games. He does have one dropped pass thus far, but he’s caught 80 percent of his targets, and eight of his 12 catches have moved the chains.

Top defensive grades

LB Jared Norris, 81.8

DE Larry Webster III, 79.7

CB Bené Benwikere, 78.8

CB Lou Young, 76.7

LB Jeremy Cash, 75.6

DE Larry Webster plays well in first preseason action

Third-year defensive end Larry Webster logged one of the Panthers’ highest grades, doing so despite playing just 21 snaps in this game. He was a force in the running game, logging two defensive stops on 11 snaps against the run. Webster laid waste to Wade Hansen on the Steelers’ two-point conversion attempt, even if the sack he registered there won’t show up in the official stats.

Say what you want about Bersin but he's almost automatic when the ball is thrown his way... surprised Mayo isn't on the list, from what I saw he played a pretty good game.

It looks like Chris Scott and Donald Hawkins have secured their roster spots on the team with their performance last night.

It will be interesting to see if we keep 4 backup 0-lineman with Gradkowski and Daryl Williams.

I was surprised by how well the backup oline performed. I was more worried about them before yesterday. However, I don't like our tight end depth at all. None of them can block well enough imo.

It is pretty amazing what getting rid of one or two really bad players will do

Larry Webster > which Delaire or Horton but Larry needs to take one or other because on PS he will be scooped.

I can't believe people still trust these ratings. The fact that Butler wasn't one of the top defensive players in the game shows they don't actually watch these games.

Maybe we give Webster a shot shlt idk we need consistent pass rush damn..

Webster had violent hands and quite a first step. Sure it was against 3rd string, but at least he looked clearly more talented than the tackles he faced.

I also saw some of those run plays he was on. If only he was able to play all preseason.

Did he play as much as those guys? I'm pretty sure the grade is  a sum. That's why the big numbers go to players who played the longest it appears.
