PFF Grades vs Rams

[CowboyRoy]

Zeke used to frequently gain seven yards running behind Travis Fredrick. With Biadasz it's only two. No wonder Zeke's production seems to be taking a nose dive. His blocking isn't there like it used to be.

The ONLY flaw in your theory is that Pollard has no problem averaging over 5 ypc behind Biadasz. So the problem is your hero Zeke. Just too old and slow these days.

Has already played against Bucs DT's and Rams. He has done well. I think its safe to say he has taken that next step. Most people counted him out after only his first real season starting.

That's what fans tend to do, they take a position on a player and don't let go of it no matter what the player does.

Darren McFadden ran for 1k yards behind that OL that blocked for Zeke. Pollards going for 6 YPC and ripping off big runs. Its not all on the OL. Zeke just isn't the same rb he was in 2016-2018.

Yep, just like @CowboyRoy has done with Zeke. If Zeke can get enough carries to showcase that thumper style of his, he would match his 2016 production. But, he's not getting 322 carries like that anymore so, CowboyRoy treats him like a red headed step child.

They take a stance and insult other people for seeing it differently. Now they will look bad if the players turns out to be better then they thought he was. So they develop an agenda. Rarely do you see anyone make enough to admit they were wrong.

Martin won’t be happy about his grade

I say sell high and get a 6th Round pick while the gettin's good.

Difference is that I am right about Zeke AND Pollard. That continues to unfold before our eyes year after year. Continues to get worse actually. Zeke gets worse and Pollard gets better. If you look at zeke its much more than # of carrries. Its his average that pretty much has gone straight down since his rookie year. Zeke doesnt get the carries because there is a better back on the team that can no longer be ignored.

He's been off this year. He is normally in PFF's top 3 at G. So far this year, he's ranked 14th and grading about 10 points lower than previous years.

Ouch!

Once again, PFF is a joke! They clearly suck at properly analyzing what they are watching on the Oline, and I'm pretty sure it's because none of them ever played Oline. Bunch of idiots over there. The Oline played much better than the low ratings these PFF clowns keep giving them.

Here is why...

I posted on another thread McGovern played better than expected. Smith also settled in nicely in the second half after getting beat up by Donald in the first half.

Nope. Lies, falsehoods, and tall tells added together don't outweigh the truth. Zeke is a thumper and thumpers need 22 carries a game to be affective. He just not getting enough carries.

I normally only post scores from guys who played at least half the snaps, but we got tremendous scores from 2 guys who never play that many snaps : Tony Pollard scored a 92.4 in his 23 snaps. While Sam Williams scored a 91.6 in 26 snaps. They deserve a special mention. Just as a reminder, anything over 70 is a really good game. Anything over 80 is considered pro bowl level. The offensive scores with the exception of Pollard were predictably low.

Defense

1. Micah Parsons 90.7
2. DLAW 85.9
3. Dorrance 84.6
4. Hooker 78.8
5. LVE 76.5
6. Barr 75.1
7. D Wilson 74.8
8. Kearse 71.7

Offense

1. Gallup 69.9
2. CD 65.7
3. Steele 64.9
4. Biadaz 64.4
5. Rush 62.9


Other Notables

Connor McGovern 35.8. - horrible game but against a lot of Aaron Donald.
Tyler Smith 49.9 - Aaron Donald beat him up too.
Zach Martin 51.3 - He scored a 19.9 in pass blocking which has got to be the lowest grade of his entire career.

I think that was the least amount of time to pass that Rush has faced. Last week was not great either.

Not that they dominated Donald because no one does so i can see the low grades...but Connor played much better than what it says..i guess they wanted Donald pancacked 80% and thats just not going to happen against anyone even Zack.

Connor made a nice block on Pollards long run. Other than that, he was dominated. We only threw the ball 16 times for a reason: The left side couldn't block Donald.
