Oh yeah. Tremayne jumps out at you as a run blocker when he's on the field. I've seen him pin DEs. 

He and TMac damn near got Etienne a TD vs Miami. Both were downfield laying wood!

Rico did have some misses in pass blocking and that may be where Chuba sneaks back in.  82 feels low for his rushing still hahahaah 

As I pointed out in another thread, run grades are not simply based upon statistical production---even the running part. They look at expectations based upon how well the line and other skill players blocked for you as well on each play. The O-line has been blocking extremely well making things a lot easier for RBs.

And that's a great grade by the way.

I know it's a great grade, and I get how PFF does their grading, that's why I had said "still" in there, as in "despite that being a great grade it still feels low given his production and how he did it".

All three of the TE’s are playing well. I wonder if they will keep all four on the roster when JaTavion comes back.

The pass rush was disappointing. The pass rush grades reflect that. 

It was inconsistent. It would be nice to get players up in the mid 70s.

Also lol what if we have always had 2 elite LBs on this roster and just had them playing the wrong spot 

Putting players in a position to succeed isn't just football rhetoric, it's a thing that great coaches do with consistency.

Those two are at the top of the Defense grades!!?

He was awful pass blocking. Only thing he did wrong but it was bad. I think he gave up at least one sack and multiple pressures. It wasn’t even mediocre, it was barely touching blitzers, almost like he was trying to slide by them and not actually make contact.

Yea, his pass pro has been rough. Makes me wonder if that's why we're seeing Deejay Dallas as much as we are.

Fortunately, Rico's also been running angry as Hell and has more than made up for it with his production on the ground!

Yes, it was another amazing  career day for Rico, but what makes me even more optimistic for the Panthers going forward was the unbelievably improved play from our middle linebackers, Wallace and Rozeboom!! These guys had been our most glaring liability prior to playing the Cowgirls, let's hope they can continue to play well.

I thought Legette would be higher too. He's normally pretty good blocking for the run. 

Some of these grades are inevitably inexplicable. In his case I am guessing the lateral may have pissed someone off. 

I think they really need to revamp their criteria for running backs. That is lower than last week for the game’s MVP. 
 

It seems as if the OL doing their jobs (which they did very well) takes away from a RB killing it. That is not right IMO.

I agree, but I also think coaches take a little while to determine what position is best for a specific player.  Regarding Wallace, he started this year with 11 games under his belt, so it might have taken the staff a little while to determine where he is best.

I really don’t understand the turnaround of Wallace and Rozeboom after they swapped roles. 
 

Like can Rozeboom just not think and just hits stuff or is Wallace just damn good at calling defenses.

Both can be true.

Everybody isn't made for the mic.

I don't know who was responsible, but somebody has an eye.

In his case, based off of last year, more like how they could best work around him.
But he is finally getting it in forward gear a little. Glad to see it.

IIRC one of the reasons the took him was they thought he had a brain in his head. And he was a captain in school which indicates some leadership qualities, ie a certain amount of intelligence.
