Interesting observations by KC Joyner

[Apollo Creed]

I'm not sure I trust their rankings very much, if at all (for various reasons), but ProFootballFocus.com graded our offensive linemen's run blocking this way --

1. Davis 10.4
2. Gurode 9.2
3. Holland 2.7
4. Colombo 2.4
5. Adams 1.4
6. Kosier 0.0
7. Procter -4.2

I thought Adams and Colombo were much better run blockers than that. Wonder what there scale is.

Procter's is a little high.

I thought Adams and Colombo were much better run blockers than that.

They might be. Like I said, I'm not sure I trust their grades at all, because the grades are subjective, and I have no idea how qualified they are to grade anything.

According to them, Stacy Andrews allowed 10 sacks last season, and Ryan Clady allowed zero. But they graded Andrews' pass-blocking ninth-highest among all OTs, they graded Clady's pass-blocking barely average. (Andrews' run-blocking, though, was ranked dead last by far.)

DeMarcus Ware had 20 sacks, but they graded his pass-rushing behind Bert Berry's (he had five sacks) and Greg Ellis' (eight sacks). They graded Anthony Spencer's pass-rushing (he had 1.5 sacks) ahead of LaMarr Woodley's (11.5 sacks). (Ware, though, was No. 1 by far among all 3-4 OLBs in both coverage and run defense.)

Oh, and to top it all off, they graded Jim Kleinsasser as the No. 1 tight end in the league, overall, by a good margin. He had six catches for 92 yards and zero touchdowns last season.
