How did Rico Dowdle get a 67.1 when he ran for 112 with a TD and a 5.1 avg?

Fergi, Schoon and BSF look like a pretty decent TE room. And on the cheap, just like big and little Enos like it

For whatever it’s worth a 67 from PFF is a solid RB just not a great one, which I think most people would agree is fairly accurate if Dowdle.

This is maybe the best run blocking grades the cowboys have been given from PFF all year too, so I would have to believe in their film review they concluded that a lot of that success gets credited to the OL.

I haven’t done a full rewatch of dowdle yet but In watching the interior OL they really did have a great game. My guess is they may have been a little harsh on dowdle but it may not be too far off.

have very little respect for PFF and I am looking at the Overshown numbers and I say BS

90% of their numbers don't make sense 85% of the time.

The credit him with 3 missed tackles

 

[RonWashington]

Bland after missing all year ranked third in defense on the list . Wonderful he’s back . Need both Bland & Diggs , Lewis all healthy for the Bengals passing game .

Carl Lawson again ranked right up there . This FO better resign him as Edge in 25 it’s one less DL you have to go out and find . He’s a veteran with skins on the wall from 2 other stops .

Honestly despite the big plays he made I really can't say PFF is wrong on his grade. I've only done a complete deep dive on the 1st half of the defense so far, but Overshown was a mixed bag in this game from what I've watched. He has been a total impact player sideline to sideline when he isnt missing tackles, but he still struggles as a north/south LB. Both in the run and pass game if an OL get their hands on him he's done. He has actually been a major help in getting the run game under control as he is executing these gap exchange concepts beautifully with the DEs, something he wasnt doing well at all earlier in the year.

The one area I might push back on PFF here is his coverage grade only being a 39. I'm not seeing many issues other than him being slow to cover in the flat. Most of his coverage snaps are just him standing in his zone with no one around him. This could be his issue though has they probably give him a 0 for those snaps and then penalize him hard for the two bad plays he had. It could just be a sample size issue.

the biggest disappointment of this season is Guyton,there was so much hope after preseason but he is not getting better and we cannot afford him to be a bust,maybe see if he can play well at RT consistently.

 

[RonWashington]

With 5 games left and a fraction of a chance at playoffs now would be the time to go Smith LT Guyton RT Hoffman Bass guards and Beebe C

 

[My3Sons]

PFF hates Overshown. Meanwhile, I love him.
