[Stash]

I don’t get their hate for Guyton.

The guy is doing a serviceable job and they crush him every week.

It calls their grading system into question.

 

[Sydla]

And was Tyler Smith that woeful in pass blocking? They gave him a 14.

And Diggs 2nd highest on defense?

 

[dupree89]

the stiff I wanna see gone--like cut before sunset is Schoonmaker.

 

[jrumann59]

And was Tyler Smith that woeful in pass blocking? They gave him a 14.

I guess penalties count maybe possibly.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

33.4 tackling grade for a linebacker is birder line criminal! Wow. Sandborn is trash.

 

[jrumann59]

And then look at Steel's grade

 

[Stash]

He had several gaffes which I’m not happy about, but overall I felt the entire line did an outstanding job.

 

[jrumann59]

Ok I looked at the defensive grades way too many high tackling grades, there must be bell curve or something.....

 

[aikemirv]

And Diggs 2nd highest on defense?

I will say for the first time in his career Diggs is actually trying to tackle!

 

[Stash]

And then look at Steel's grade

It’s an indictment of their grading system.

Renders it useless.

 

[nate dizzle]

Those look like the highest overall grades our defense has received this season. Make that make sense

 

[jrumann59]

It’s an indictment of their grading system.

Renders it useless.

I think they give grades using a Chutes and Ladders game board

 

[thunderpimp91]

I don’t get their hate for Guyton.

I'm the exact opposite. It blows my mind that we continue to pretend like Guyton isnt a liability at LT. I'm rewatching the game not even to half time yet, and Guyton has been dominated multiple times...Dak Prescott is literally making this OL look decent, but in reality this is maybe the worst tandem of pass blocking tackles in the league.

 

[DoctorChicken]

You’re calling into question the grading system that says Marcus Mariota is the NFLs best QB currently?

 

[Chasing6]

And was Tyler Smith that woeful in pass blocking? They gave him a 14.

3 penalties I would imagine killed his score.

 

[Jarntt]

Nathan Thomas - 48.8 (17 snaps) - 60.3 run blocking grade, 57.2 pass blocking grade

Gets out calculator. (60.3 + 57.2)/2 = 48.8
What else is there that could possibly bring an OL grade down so much?

 

[JustChip]

I don’t get their hate for Guyton.

Yep. I was at the game and made it a point to watch Guyton and Steele. They didn’t give Guyton a lot of help and he held up well. Steele did too, but he got more help, especially when Micah was over him.

I believe the run defense grade is the main reason Sanborn is out there. We've been better against the run this year and he's a reason for that. He's just a major liability in pass coverage. He did break up the end-zone pass at the end of overtime, though, with his back. The look on his face afterward was priceless. He was like, what happened?
