PFF Best & Worst of the Washington game

[top dawg]

Thanks to Anthony Rizzuti of Panthers Wire

1. QB Baker Mayfield: 80.5
2. OL Cade Mays: 79.1
3. WR Keith Kirkwood: 78.4
4. WR Derek Wright: 77.2
5. TE Giovanni Ricci: 75.5

33. TE Jared Scott: 46.5
34. C Pat Elflein: 45.6
35. QB Matt Corral: 43.3
36. RG Austin Corbett: 31.9
37: TE Nate Becker: 30.3

 

1. LB Cory Littleton: 92.8
2. CB Duke Dawson: 90.1
3. CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver III: 82.1
4. LB Brandon Smith: 81.5
5. CB Tae Hayes: 77.0

31. LB Julian Stanford: 37.7
32. DT Daviyon Nixon: 37.4
33. LB Isaiah Graham-Mobley: 36.4
34. DT Bravvion Roy: 36.0
35. DT Frank Herron: 30.2

Take from it what you will. I would like to see all the grades, but I will say that it appears that the depth at DT is bad, while the same at CB looks good. Our LB corps may not be great, but its floor is probably average at worst. All in all, these grades are probably a pretty accurate reflection of the team's strengths and weaknesses at certain positions.

If you want to read the little no-account words that accompany the grades here it is:

Well Elflein and Corbett appear on the worst five list is pretty bad.

We can't afford to have more poor OL play.

Man, it's a good thing these preseason games are full of well game planned, maximum effort players!!!

It's been a hot minute since I posted mostly due to the fact that I wanted to enjoy my summer

Huddle gunna Huddle.  Overreact to EVERYTHING.

Let's not get all wrapped up in preseason performances.  Let's look at things after the first 4 games of the season.  I'd call this all rehearsal instead game play.

I don't remember Corbett looking bad at all. Unlike Jordan who was getting pushed around pretty bad.

Im surprised Thomas-Oliver III is that high. I honestly thought he would be cut in the first group after that game. He got burnt a few times and had a big holding call that was credited to Westry by mistake.

I can understand this mindset given our recent raving success.

Oh wait...

I remember specifically looking up who #69 was because of how bad he looked out there. Not surprised at all to see Frank Herron at the bottom of the list. That man did not look like he was in the same league.

These guys all somehow graded worse than CB Chris Westry.

Where's the overreaction? I said, take from the scores what you will.

We already know that we're a little thin on the D-line and probably need acquisitions. The depth for the O-line is suspect, but most teams can probably say that.

We'll know a little more after Friday evening.

Don’t like seeing that play design. The narrator is 100% right, nothing was done to move that safety out of the play. I remember watching the replay because the normal speed made it look like RA had no chance but the replay from the end zone showed him catching it before the safety “loosened” his grip on the ball. If one of the two WRs on the left goes downfield, that Safety doesn’t have a chance.

I had a sneaky suspicion that shi ran the wrong route there. Maybe I’m giving McAdoo too much credit, but that is some elementary offensive play design stuff, and I have hard time believing he didn’t design that in.

There was one Corbett play he was doing a perfect Elfein impression. He got Baker hit pretty hard.

Yeah, that's bad. 

We can't keep seeing that or it's going to be another long year of watching QB's get drilled.

I mean, it was a boom-boom play. He really didn't have a chance.

People aren't going to want to hear this but we should go ahead and  prepare ourselves to see our starting QB take some big hits behind this line because it was never going to go from disaster to perfect quickly. Definitely not the way our head coach likes to play musical chairs. Remember years ago how we used to often talk this time of year about how we have to solidify the position group now so they are better and have had time to gel when the real games begin? Funny how the Rhule fan club justify the opposite of this like it's a good thing.

Jordan looked bad at 1st team LG and really bad at 2nd team RG. How he not at the bottom who knows. Cam Erving also look bad at 2nd team RT...

I saw that on the replay, I thought it was Elf again until I saw the 69
