PFF Grades - Week 14 2025

[Plankton]

OFFENSE
Cedarian Lamb - 83.6 (38 snaps)
Ryan Flournoy - 82.0 (53 snaps) - really stepped up last night. Looks like a good #3 WR - nice development by Junior Adams.
Tyler Smith - 71.7 (82 snaps) - 65.8 run blocking grade, 77.1 pass blocking grade
Dak Prescott - 67.9 (82 snaps) - overall, he played well. Couple of bad throws/decisions, but hung in there with his tackles being turnstiles last night.
Luke Schoonmaker - 65.6 (17 snaps) - 52.2 run blocking grade, 70.2 pass blocking grade
Jake Ferguson - 62.5 (66 snaps) - 85.5 run blocking grade, 73.1 pass blocking grade, 59.4 passing game grade - made some good plays, but had critical errors (fumble and two penalties) that contributed to the loss.
Tyler Booker - 61.6 (82 snaps) - 61.1 run blocking grade, 57.8 pass blocking grade
Terence Steele - 61.5 (82 snaps) - 90.4 run blocking grade, 33.1 pass blocking grade - his grade should have been much lower. He was terrible in pass blocking last night.
KaVontae Turpin - 60.2 (43 snaps)
Hunter Luepke - 55.6 (21 snaps) - 58.0 run blocking grade, 77.5 pass blocking grade
Cooper Beebe - 54.6 (82 snaps) - 50.5 run blocking grade, 60.8 pass blocking grade
Javonte Williams - 53.1 (65 snaps) - 55.9 running game grade, 36.5 pass blocking grade
George Pickens - 50.7 (69 snaps) - with Lamb hurt, and the season on the line, the Cowboys needed Pickens to step up, and he stepped aside. Terrible effort last night.
Jonathan Mingo - 43.5 (17 snaps)
Brevyn Spann-Ford - 41.5 (13 snaps) - 39.7 run blocking grade, 27.4 pass blocking grade
Nathan Thomas - 29.7 (82 snaps) - 53.2 run blocking grade, 16.3 pass blocking grade - was taken behind the woodshed last night. He was a complete liability.

DEFENSE
Quinnen Williams - 75.0 (44 snaps) - 64.2 run defense grade, 71.7 pass rush grade, 71.2 tackling grade
Sam Williams - 66.3 (31 snaps) - 69.6 run defense grade, 55.9 pass rush grade, 72.8 tackling grade
Malik Hooker - 64.7 (38 snaps) - 64.3 run defense grade, 61.9 coverage grade, 81.9 tackling grade
Kenny Clark - 63.8 (38 snaps) - 63.3 run defense grade, 59.9 pass rush grade, 68.4 tackling grade

Dante Fowler - 55.5 (23 snaps) - 77.2 run defense grade, 60.0 coverage grade, 27.6 tackling grade
DaRon Bland - 50.8 (62 snaps) - 73.8 run defense grade, 45.5 coverage grade, 64.4 tackling grade - has not lived up to the contract extension
Logan Wilson - 45.2 (26 snaps) - 71.7 run defense grade, 37.5 coverage grade, 75.0 tackling grade
Osa Odighizuwa - 39.4 (35 snaps) - 38.2 run defense grade, 68.9 pass rush grade - see DaRon Bland commentary

Solomon Thomas - 33.3 (24 snaps) - 35.4 run defense grade, 52.7 pass rush grade
Kenneth Murray - 31.9 (36 snaps) - 73.3 run defense grade, 28.3 coverage grade, 76.8 tackling grade - needs to be inactive each week. Needs to ask Santa for instincts for Christmas.
Markquese Bell - 29.5 (27 snaps) - 70.6 run defense grade, 29.5 coverage grade, 78.0 tackling grade - complete liability in coverage. Not an NFL caliber safety, IMO.
Shavon Revel - 28.5 (62 snaps) - 35.5 run defense grade, 29.0 coverage grade, 33.8 tackling grade - welcome to the NFL, rook. Was cooked like a Christmas goose all night long.

 

[Risen Star]

Oh, no. The dreaded and definitive PFF grades.

 

[Carson]

I want to know what info / gossip Murray has on Eberflus to keep getting snaps. He is brutal

 

[VaqueroTD]

At least they got the top defenders right. Quinnen, Kenny Clark, Overshown, Hooker/Donovan, EZ and (can't believe I'm going to say this) Sam W. Seem like the only guys worth building around.

I did like how he blocked that FG.

Well what is Eberflu's have on Jerry That should be the question 'cause right now Jerry should seriously consider firing him right now with a 10 day layoff you get somebody else on that defense to elevate his interim DC like our special teams coach he used to be a DC It's for five games you want to get the team's attention and tell them this is unacceptable you fire Matt, right now..

What Murray has in his back pocket is the rest of the depth chart at LB.

 

[TNCowboy]

PFF grade or not, we have a major issue at center. Beebe can’t do the job.

Special teams coach needs fired too. Outside of Aubrey, the special teams is a joke. Angerer is decent, but the coverage unit sucks so it doesn't matter.

Yeah but that's not gonna happen right now but if you're trying to get him off the special teams and get Matt out of here why not you move him to DC and Tarum and you move his assistant up to special teams coach for now..

wrong.. Guy had a bad game not a bad year he can do the job what a ridiculous statement a guy has an off game if if we're going to judge them all on the Lions game then fire them all....

He’s a total jag. He’s had a ton of “off games”, has been ragdolled by one DT after another.

 

[Rayman70]

I take PFF with a shaker of salt. But what we can take from. The game, with our own eyeball test is this, WE NEED TO BE AGGRESSIVE IN FREE AGENCY NEXT OFF-SEASON. Gotta get at least one vet CB and a safety in here. Need a vet linebacker, and most of all, need a couple edge rushers. Might need to draft them.

 

[goshann]

these actually look pretty accurate based upon what I saw.

 

[Acceptablename]

What is it the scheme or tired players

I’m shocked Murray isn’t a 0

 

[Plankton]

A Blutarski?

 

[Creeper]

A lot of poor grade on the defense and they are deserved.

 

[gtb1943]

Him with a goat?

BS. but then you have your agenda and that is all that matters
