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.

 

 

Fans notice the OL that give up splash plays. You just want consistently from OLmen.

Stop with the data-driven analysis.  You will confuse some people.

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???

The coaching staff was/is hoping to scheme their way out of this issue. It seems that their idea is to utilize a short and quick passing attack with CMC spoiling the pass to take the pressure of of the O-Line. It may work with average to below average teams, but good teams will not be as susceptible.

It's not "data-driven analysis." Nerds want to believe it because they like the idea of playing sports on spreadsheets, but it isn't analysis of data. All it is is a bunch of keyboard warriors who never played football giving "grades" to football players without knowing the play call or the player responsibilities.

PFF has valuable tracking stats. These grades are worthless.

    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
    • I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
    • I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
