PFF: Offensive Line Rankings entering week 15

[DFWJC]

We are so spoiled by Top 5 offensive line play that when 4 or 5 linemen aren't playing at Pro Bowl level we think the line is the issue. lol

We haven't had a truly awful O-line since about 2012 or so

Anyway....although I'm not a huge PFF guy, here are their updated Offensive line rankings

https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-week-15-offensive-line-rankings-2021

1. Dallas
2. Tampa Bay
3. San Francisco
4. Kansas City
5. Cleveland

etc


Don't shoot the messenger.

Is this related to the Cowboys Center leading in Pro Bowl voting?

Did PFF check with Elliott or Prescott about these grades?

PFF caters to people who do not actually watch NFL games.

fwiw

1. DALLAS COWBOYS (NO CHANGE)
Best-graded: G Zack Martin | 94.6
Worst-graded: T Terence Steele | 61.9
The Cowboys field the NFL's best offensive line when everyone is healthy, but Tyron Smith is all of a sudden back to dealing with nagging injuries. Smith is expected to miss more time in Week 15, but he still gives the Cowboys a pair of linemen with 90.0-plus PFF grades.

La’el Collins being back in the lineup gives Dallas three players with 90.0-plus PFF run-blocking grades. Zack Martin is dominating once again, earning a 94.6 overall grade so far after surrendering 15 total pressures in 12 games and conceding just one penalty.

What games or season have they been watching???

 

[ShortRound]

I was told it was all the OL's fault.

 

[Ranching]

Dak sucks!

 

[CouchCoach]

Who told you that? Dak or Zeke?

 

[ShortRound]

Zoners

 

[ChuckA1]

Obviously looking at the "what it could be if everyone is healthy" list

Another excuse debunked.

LOL! I was curious to see if they were bottom 5, PFF is a joke. If you guys remember Nate Livings who was a human turnstile for Dallas a few years back, PFF referred to him as a "a stud" after the season.

So here's my "if this then that" take on these rankings.

If this is true, then Dak is seeing ghosts, hearing footsteps, and making poor reads and being indecisive.

If this is true, then Zeke truly is a shadow of his former self and can't find or hit all the holes that the line is opening.

I'm thinking it's a mix somewhere in the middle of these extremes and the line, Zeke, and Dak are all underperforming. Like a lot underperforming.

Not really too suprising..the offense is still ranked very high in effeciency% this year...if those are the rankings through week 15 it shows how good the o-line played before...if that is just week 15 ..I would be suprised.

Where is their video proof? Nothing but words.

Yet, some of us keep providing video proof of this Oline's failures, but you are still in denial.

 

[Tussinman]

What games or season have they been watching???

The problem is the "eye test" don't match up with the hard numbers and PFF only cares about the hard numbers

Passing wise the offensive line isn't even ranked in the top 20 in sacks allowed or pressures allowed

Rushing wise Pollard and Zeke are combined 292 attempts for 1412 yards (4.8 yards per attempted average).

On paper the o-line looks good. Whether it's good or not is up to anyone depending on criteria

I'm in denial?

Ya'll the ones the keep making excuses while refusing to see what many of us have seen for years.

As of late OL has not been producing they way should be. PFF can grade them however they choose but fact is the line has not been playing consistent enough in the run or pass game. Not laying all issues at the feet of OL but I do know where the issues begin.
