PFF Grades - Panthers defensive line.

[Zod]

#Panthers DL grades through Week 2, per @PFF. 

- Brian Burns: 71.3
- DaQuan Jones: 75.4
- Derrick Brown: 74.4
- Morgan Fox: 79.4
- Yetur Gross-Matos: 58.6
- Daviyon Nixon: 65.8
- Marquis Haynes: 71.8
- Bravvion Roy: 57.3

 

 

Pretty huge contrast with the offensive line.

Imagine getting pressure on half your snaps and only scoring a 79

Nixon looking like a steal.  YGM?  It's time, son. 

Roy is probably peaking.  Fox ate all day.

I'm not subscribed so can't confirm/compare, but aren't these individual grades all relatively low? Aren't the best players in the 80s/90s? If it is like I suspect, further proof that PFF is full of poo a fair amount of the time.

Im not familiar with how they determine a number score but most of these look like they graded out as C or C+ so...average?

If so, thats garbage.

I think it shows what you can do with guys that don't show up on the stat sheet.

Roy is depth and that’s it. Nothing wrong with that. Nixon is better though.

YGM got hurt so not sure if that impacted his score.

Shaq Thompson’s week one grade was a 75.7 and he had arguably his best game as a Panther.

Roquan Smith in week 2 had a grade of 90.2 having similar stats to Shaq in week one except he took his int to the house which has more to to with his teammates block than him individually. 
 

Is PFF really going to bump a rating by almost 15 points for a defensive TD?

I really wish we would just ban PFF and their blatant favoritism in their magical ratings. Not having anyone from this defense rate above an 80 so far this season is enough evidence for anyone to realize PFF is a full of poo.

Roy had a series (i think in the 3rd) where he solo stopped the iants. He got pressure, stuffed the run, and batted down the 3rd down attempt. 

DL is my fav foozeball group, its been a joy watching this year. Every single DLmen in one or the other game has brought the pain.

Foozeball is the devil.

Chinn was rated in 50s until he got rookie of the month.....then magically his number improved..... You got a grasp on PFF, it is what it is....... its does help forum talks. I value them like a decent poster on the huddle. Plus if I have NO CLUE at all, I will at least read what PFF thinks (if i hold a interest).

Not having paid too much attention to PFF what grade is considered elite?

[Dave Gettleman's Shorts]

I feel that it is more important that multiple players on the d-line is able to contribute and pull their weight as opposed to only one player doing all of the work (Julius Peppers). It makes it harder for opposing offenses to prepare and scheme who to focus their attention on when pressure is coming from all directions.

90 is elite, 80 is great, 70 is good, 60 is average and so on

very few players actually get a 90 for an entire year. The large majority of players are in the 50-79 range
