Of course PFF can be inaccurate and isnt the be all end all but there are some pretty interesting numbers.  I had mentioned in another post my concern about Chinn being at FS mostly and his grade kind of showed that.  Ian thomas being our 2nd highest graded player on offense and Luvu being our highest graded defensive player were both pretty surprising to me.  Safety in general seems like a pretty rough spot.

To me, PFF is completely subjective.  While it's encouraging when the grades are what you want, that doesn't make them accurate.  And fwiw, to that point, as great as Chinn was last season as a rookie, they had him graded pretty low last season as well.  They have their favorites and their guys they have an agenda against, and I think Chinn may be one of the latter.

I just worry about Chinn at FS.  Its going to be a lot harder to put the stamp on the game he did last season and it takes away some of his strengths and puts some of the things hes not quite as good at in the forefront.

Idk, I thought he played fine.  He's not going to put up the same numbers at safety as he was in the box every game last season, and thats a good thing, bc we don't want our safeties leading the team in tackles every week.  I thought he was good in coverage, and I expect he's going to get a lot more opportunities to ball hawk as the season goes on, so I look forward to that.  I'm not worried about him making the switch because it was his primary position in college and he has the physicality and athleticism to be great in coverage.

Not to mention you don't have to dread every time he comes in to support the run. No flying tackle the air behind you from Chinn.

PFF doesn't work because "advanced analytics" are such an inexact science in sports. There are so many in both NHL and NFL that just don't really work with any consistency, and then you roll those one into a score with the ones that do work, and try to grade players, and it ends up even worse.

Horn as top 5 of the worst graded player on defense? What a joke. If his arm is 3 inches higher (or lower...can't remember) on that TD pass he absolutely shuts down his man all game and even had a couple good plays on run D. 

I normally like PFF but they missed the mark big time on this game.

Agreed but I think he just needs more time to adjust. Although he missed on a couple big plays(Mims sticks out). He also prevented two additional touchdowns. 

Firmly believe that if that was Tre Boston from last season, the score would have ended around 28-19 in the Jets favor. 

P.S. How is McCaffrey not one of the highest rated offensive players when he basically was the offense?

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      By Samppson · Posted

      I know teams have been selling out to stop the run, but Ricos kind of fallen off a cliff.. not sure if hes hurt or just worn down but even when theres a hole he doesnt look anything like he did those few weeks prior.

      89 on The Pivot

      By CRA · Posted

      nah, that's basically saying people can't call a spade a spade.  Which is crazy.  89 is not a good dude.  He might have done a couple good things but it will never erase what he has proven to be in front of the world.  I tell my kid all the time not to view celebrity athletes as anything but people that play a sport well.  Lot of garbage humans play on Sunday.   And you have no clue who the good guys actually are.  PR in today's world is also powerful.  There was a window when Deshawn Watson checked every good guy box that could ever existed from the public's perspective.

      Some folks say it's because teams are playing more shell defenses preventing more longer passes.  The analytics folks would rather you pass for 7 years every down.  As you state, the crop of QBs is mixed as far as quality. I think when you put it all together, it's a recipe for less passing yards.
