This makes no sense. He was better at pass blocking than run blocking yet he had an overall grade lower than his run blocking grade. I wonder why many don't trust PFF grades or think they're horse shit.
Hey AI said so lol.....my guess is maybe there's other metrics used to calculate the grade that aren't included as this is a summary. Regardless, he sucked ass at running blocking. Also I'd hope Limmer would improve on pass blocking after completely fucking up the passing assignment at the worst possible time during the playoffs against Philly.
The problem with PFF grading, is that if one questions it ... and, personally, I REALLY do ... you can't turn around and use it to support your opinion when their grade happens to agree with your opinion.
I'm with you, need to see Avila step up his game vs last year. Need that big boy to clear some paths and pancake any trespassers.
I think, if you look at all the team stats from the 6th game on you will see improvement. Both offense and defense. So yes to some extent a coincidence. He was definitely part of the problem. I just don't like dumping the whole thing on him. I mean come on. The Ol for the lions crushed our front 7 in the overtime.
Yeah. I just see some of the grades after watching a game and it seems they were watching a different game entirely. Just not a fan of all these grading "systems". They all need to find a new method that has never been used before and is a newer and better mouse trap. IMO PFF is the worst in this respect.
Think both Avila AND Dotson dipping in play had to do with that, it looked to me like Dotson was making the calls at times during the season too. Whole trickle down effect for the whole line.
I think it's useful but it's kinda like looking at combine numbers. I use them to check against what I see in the games and if there's a big variance, I try to dive a little deeper to see if I'm missing something.
No, but still it's kind of a get back at Snead.
If you read my other posts, I put 50% of the blame on the 1-4 start due to the combo pairing of Reeder and Rozeboom as ILB. They were the absolute worst pair of ILB in the league those first 5 games. I don't put the entire blame on Reeder. But he was NOT an asset during those games. He made a play from time to time but they were more than offset by frequent horrible plays the rest of the game. My wife who watches the game with me always asked me - why do they play Reeder. He is horrible. And for her to notice how poorly he is playing just shows how bad he was playing. My wife has MS and it is really tough for her to pay attention to everything that is going on.
Sometimes PFF overall grades are lower than the individual run block or pass block grades due to penalties by the player being taken into account - as they should be.
