Do you know what Mazi got?

 

[exciter]

And that there is why you try to leave Tyler at guard… domination!

Zack playing through injury looks like.

42.2 on 17 snaps

LB's are supposed to be weak but they are all top 5.

He did not grade well pass blocking in this game.

This was the first game where I saw Clark make a few nice plays. Hopefully he keeps it up

I'm expecting a consistent trajectory from him. He surprised a lot of people last season coming back early from that surgery. Now that he should have more confidence in his body, I expect to see more of what I saw on Sunday.

Safeties all so-so in a game where we gave up just 3 points makes me feel these rankings are kind of irrelevant. But we all knew that.

It is interesting to see, but hard to take serious.

Edoga with a solid outing.

 

[Creeper]

Hankins does what he is supposed to go. He clogs up the middle most of the time. He is much more effective than the PFF grade gives him credit for.

Martin is obviously not 100%. But I thought he had a pretty good game until late when he came out.

Can't blame Cooks for his low grade. They don't use him correctly.

Steele had to face one of the best pass rushers in the league in Judon. He did what he had to do.

Not sure why Pollard was so low. He only got 11 carries and averaged 4.3 yards. He also had 3 receptions. They took him out fairly early in the game as well.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Hankins and Mazi rated so low yet the Pats only had 46 yards, and if you say it’s because we jumped out early, they only averaged 2.3 a carry. They really need to spend time explaining why they rated them these scores.

 

[stiletto]

Edoga with a solid outing.

Edoga is better at Guard. Why don't they swap Tyler and Edoga? Seems like it would solidify things a little more.

I wondered the same but my guess is that Tyler is playing at an elite level at guard and they don't want to move him.

It's just random people using their "eye test" to assign a grade, right? I don't think there is really much explanation to it.

Sad how this thread has stayed stuck with only 1 page of comments. I'm pretty sure Dak getting a 90 PFF rating has a lot to do with such few traffic in here.

Fear not.. if he lays and egg and comes out with a low grade next week this post will set records for participation! LOL!

Not really. PFF uses a set of criteria to issue grades. Below is a link to an explanation of how they arrive at grades:

Time to trade Wilson for a guard?
