Early PFF grades - week 16

[NAS]

Offense

[Jon Snow]

Mitchell Evan’s put a block on someone that he drove them all the way out of bounds and to the bench. He absolutely destroyed the guy. He’s gonna be a beast for us if he keeps that up.

XL should be just about 0. Wiffed on blocks dropped a routine catch, no field awareness on another target. 1 catch for 11 yards. Dude stinks

He was so bad today. I’m not sure he’s going to make it in the league at this point. I’m not sure he’s even wants to.

That’s the key point. I hope he’s saving his money because I don’t see him getting any sizable second contract.

The sad part is he actually gets open.

If you watched him on the field when the cameras weren’t on he just appears to go through the motions. Canales is trying hard to force him to be a receiver and it’s obvious if you’re at the games. Why I do not know unless it’s draft related. Which to me is ridiculous in itself. But I guess that’s what we do now.

Corbett gotta go.

All of our receivers do I think, the play calls aren't bad in that regard.

But XL just doesn't seem to care, it sucks.

We're lucky Coker has looked so good. Hopefully Horn takes off too!

Open is a relative term in this case. It’s when they are open that is one of the issues with this offense. It’s as if each play is predicated on it being for one outcome or one player. Sometimes is see a hint of Frank Riechs route trees in there. There were times today that I knew where the ball would go just by how these guys lined up. Jimmy Horn is grossly missused.

Surprised Nijman’s score is so low.. I thought he played very well.

He was getting tossed around. Worst game I recall seeing us have with him at OG.

In fairness, if he is willing to be a backup on a reasonable deal, he's easily a guy I would bring back.

[cranky]

I think Nijmans' run blocking was pretty bad
