[Plankton]

OFFENSE
Dak Prescott - 90.0 (61 snaps)
Brevyn Spann-Ford - 83.6 (10 snaps)
Cooper Beebe - 70.4 (61 snaps) - 66.3 pass blocking grade - seems high to me.
CeeDee Lamb - 68.0 (56 snaps) - too many drops
Javonte Williams - 66.8 (47 snaps) - 73.6 running game grade, 19.2 pass blocking grade
Hunter Luepke - 65.4 (8 snaps)
Terence Steele - 64.5 (61 snaps) - 78.9 run blocking grade, 44.4 pass blocking grade
KaVontae Turpin - 63.8 (28 snaps)
Luke Schoonmaker - 63.6 (15 snaps) - 66.0 run blocking grade, 74.8 pass blocking grade
Tyler Smith - 62.4 (61 snaps) - 55.0 pass blocking grade
George Pickens - 58.1 (56 snaps) - got dinged for the PF penalty
Tyler Booker - 55.7 (61 snaps) - 50.9 run blocking grade, 63.8 pass blocking grade
Jake Ferguson - 54.5 (47 snaps) - 68.9 run blocking grade, 70.3 pass blocking grade, 51.7 passing game grade - drops hurt here.
Jalen Tolbert - 51.6 (27 snaps) - often times, wouldn't know he was on the field
Miles Sanders - 48.4 (11 snaps) - 44.7 running game grade, 76.0 pass blocking grade - fumble turned the game away from Dallas
Tyler Guyton - 42.2 (61 snaps) - 53.9 run blocking grade, 26.1 pass blocking grade - I don't remember many busts from him with the exception of a rush from Josh Uche where he blindsided Prescott. I thought he was solid.

Trevon Diggs - 70.2 (26 snaps) - 30.1 tackling grade, 76.1 coverage grade - still can't tackle
Donovan Ezeiruaku - 67.5 (22 snaps) - 55.0 pass rush grade, 72.2 rush defense grade - looked underpowered on a lot of downs
Kaiir Elam - 65.0 (62 snaps) - 63.6 coverage grade, 78.9 tackling grade - allowed a huge completion to Jahan Dotson, otherwise solid game
Damone Clark - 61.0 (41 snaps) - 59.7 tackling grade, 65.8 run defense grade - not aggressive enough against the run in the first three quarters
Kenny Clark - 60.7 (40 snaps) - 59.7 tackling grade, 65.8 run defense grade
James Houston - 58.9 (9 snaps) - 71.5 tackling grade, 57.9 pass rush grade - nice stop of Barkley for a four yard loss
Dante Fowler - 55.8 (27 snaps) - 44.6 run defense grade, 64.9 pass rush grade - he is what he is, a one trick pony
DaRon Bland - 52.9 (62 snaps) - 28.6 run defense grade, 25.1 tackling grade, 70.4 coverage - Diggs like grading
Sam Williams - 52.0 (39 snaps) - 47.2 tackling grade, 56,7 run defense grade, 52.9 pass rush grade
Solomon Thomas - 47.1 (25 snaps) - 43.4 tackling grade, 49.8 run defense grade
Jack Sanborn - 47.0 (47 snaps) - 78.9 tackling grade, 51.1 run defense grade
Kenneth Murray - 30.0 (62 snaps) - 27.8 run defense grade, 62.3 tackling grade - plays way too soft
Jay Toia - 29.3 (20 snaps) - 29.7 run defense grade, 66.8 tackling grade - ~cross off Mazi Smith, insert Jay Toia, no difference on field~

Kenneth Murray rated what my eyes showed. More Marist Liafua, please even though he's not listed so I don't know what his score was.

 

[CarolinaFathead]

Man…

Guyton looked so much better to me. That grade says otherwise.

68.5 but only had 6 snaps.

They have him giving up 5 pressures. Seems dubious

I think Guyton (and Booker also) made a # of mistakes on blitzes and stunts. Like on the 3rd and 1 where Dak hit Lamb underneath for an easy 1st down, Guyton started to block the outside rusher, the blitzer ran inside of him, and he reacted too slow to block either of them. IMO, he wasn't as bad as his grade because most of the time, Dak had enough time to throw, even if just barely.

I don't put a ton of stock in their grading. Braun was all over the field last night saving Philly's hide, and they gave him a 71.

 

[Jarntt]

Thanks for posting. We all know the grades aren't perfect because PFF doesn't know the exact responsibility at times and doesn't exactly hire ex-NFL coaches to do this, but I always find the grades interesting

Having to keep our TE's to block way too much to help our Tackles, is not a reflection of our TE's in the passing game.

I can't imagine Mazi being worse the Toia.

 

[jterrell]

thanks for sharing.
like a lot of others was surprised Guyton wasn't higher.

LBs were visibly bad but the Eagles run game can force that. Not much fun tackling Barkley and Hurts.

[CT Dal Fan]

Beebe's pass blocking was very good, the pressure last night was from the outside.

Murray has all the physical ability in the world, but his instincts are bad. The Chargers and Titans already knew this.

That was a stout DL. Our interior OL should keep improving throughout the season.

There may be 1 or 2 teams equal to or better than Philly (NY is one of them) that we have to go against.

 

[Rayman70]

Murray needs gone. He's trash

 

[Rayman70]

Guyton I thought was impressive.

 

[Carson]

Murray needs gone. He's trash

Yeah, he's a one trick pony that isn't too good.

Team needs to get Liafau and James going until Agent 0 is back.

 

[Rayman70]

At this point Buddy Johnson is better than Murray

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Murray needs gone. He's trash

Maybe he goes when the injured players (Mingo, Carson, Revel, Overshown) start coming back.

I know it's only one game but Liufau needs to play over Murray. And Shamar James needs to be on the active list soon.

Yip, the youngins need to play alot starting next game.

Agreed. Hopefully this coming game

I don't believe they will cut him. They guaranteed his contract when they traded for him at like $8 million. You know Jerry won't like that
