Take with a grain of salt. 

Cam Erving 60.0

Pat Elfelin 51.3

Matt Paradis 73.2 (wtf?)

Dennis Daley 54.1

Taylor Moton 74.7

The Saints DL is looking at this an licking their chops.  Oh, and who didn't see this hot mess coming?  Most of us did, but the somehow caching staff didn't???

They basically held up against probably the strongest positional group for the Jets. One sack for the game is an acceptable level I guess and pressures (7) happen. 

Rushing plays, however, lacked any sort of steady push and pulling guards were so bad that the whole idea of it was shelved quickly, turning the run game one dimensional. Luckily, CMC finds a way no matter what.

Do we even send our O-line guys to the weight room or just down to Golden Corral after practice?

I held my breath a lot after each snap.  PFF ratings aside, I think it's really obvious that our OL is not good enough.  Rhule needs to light a fire under some butts this week.  They are going to have to play better if we're ever going to have a convincing play action game plan.

Golden Corral buffet is highly under rated on a price/volume basis...  Just saying.

I went back and watched clips a little bit more. Overall, the guards weren't that bad. A lot of their bad plays was the result of a difficult assignment. You can clearly see that the Jets DT are extremely good and there's only so much an average/above average Guard can do against those too.

I can't say who is who, but Elflein went against the better DT most of the game and it clearly showed. Still, he played smart football and was good at limiting him, given his lack of strength compared to the opponent. Daley was helped most of the game by Paradis.

The only sack that was allowed? 3 D-linemen stacked 1 on 1 against our 3 inside. There is little you can do skill wise or scheme wise.

Pressures? Most of them, the result of Elflein trying to slow down a vastly superior opponent.
 

Before judging the O-Line, I'd like to see them play against more average competition.

Also, Erving played smart football and was consistent most of the game.

 

 

The run game was good for the most part. But we're not really good at mauling the opponent, and that really shows in short distance situation. Only a good scheme design can help us there, or putting a Deonte Brown in

For those of you surprised by Matt’s grade you need to remember PFF o-line grades are based on both passing and rushing snaps.

Go look at Paradis run grade vs pass grade.

Also fans tend to grade offensive lineman based off of the occasional terrible play but occasionally that doesn’t tell you the full picture.

Player A can give up 2 pressures, 1 sack, no penalties, and block great in the run game.

Player B can give up 5 pressures, 0 sacks, 2 penalties and have several missed blocks in the run game.

A lot of  fans will think player A played worse because all they notice or remember is the one sack.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
