ran across this, has a lot of useful ranking and numbers, especially for the o-line

If you're trying to figure out the grades, read this

BTW if you want to only include the reg season, you'll have to change the option, because default is reg season+playoffs

Just a warning: their grades aren't very credible, if at all.

In Week 17, facing an Eagles team that was playing for a division title and the No. 2 seed in the East, had won six straight and had one of the most potent offenses in the league, we dominated in all phases of the game and won 24-0. Pro Football Focus gave us a negative grade on offense and a negative grade on defense.

A Week later, our offense put up 426 yards and 34 points on the Eagles and got an even more negative grade.

But hey, our defense did get a positive grade for allowing 450 yards and 21 points to the Bucs in Week 1.

Well, based on these stats/rankings, Spencer is by far the best run-stuffing 3-4 OLB in the league.

A couple things worth noting

-According to these numbers Doug Free was just about as good as a healthy Marc Colombo. Both played better than Flozell Adams.
-For all the flak Martellus Bennett gets, he dominates as a run blocker. But Anthony Fasano is better
-Kyle Kosier is our best pass blocker and best linemen on screens.
-Romo has a 77.9 QB RTG when pressured. Peyton Manning has a 80.5 QB RTG when pressured.
-Ratliff was less productive/effective than last year. Also had more snaps.
-Anthony Spencer wasn't good at playing the run, he was dominate (ranked first among 3-4 OLBs).
-Bobby Carpenter, according to these numbers, was not as effective as Kevin Burnett was last year (definately cheaper though)
-For all the flak Newman gets, he's still a pretty good CB

Sounds like there is a few bugs in the system....

Doug Free never should have lost his job; he earned it. It was better for Columbo to sit out. Does anyone have any theories as to why Columbo was given the nod to start?

Personally, I thought it was silly. I called into The Fan after his first game and was like, "whoa, that guys is good."

-For all the flak Martellus Bennett gets, he dominates as a run blocker. But Anthony Fasano is better

The guy is crucial on run blocks and if nothing else can keep doing what he's doing there. We'd be hard pressed to find a better group of TEs than the ones we have, which include Bennett.

-Romo has a 77.9 QB RTG when pressured. Peyton Manning has a 80.5 QB RTG when pressured.

Those in the know are finally seeing what kind of player Romo really is.

-Ratliff was less productive/effective than last year. Also had more snaps.

In the grand scheme Ratliff played outstanding and he stayed injury-free,t o.

-Anthony Spencer wasn't good at playing the run, he was dominate (ranked first among 3-4 OLBs).

He is my favorite defensive player. Love the guy.

-Bobby Carpenter, according to these numbers, was not as effective as Kevin Burnett was last year (definately cheaper though)

Bobby has had a slow learning curve, but I think he's finally showing something....

-For all the flak Newman gets, he's still a pretty good CB

You bet he is
