PPF Grades vs Cleveland

[atlantacowboy]

Only posting players who played at least 30% of the snaps. Just a reminder, anything over 80 is a great game. 60-80 is a good game. Anything under 60 is not good.

Offense:
-
1. Tyler Smith 77.3
2. CD 68.5
3. Steele 67.9
4. Beebe - 67.8
5 Dowdle - 64.3

Other notables on offense:

Dak 58.0
Guyton. 42.0. ( got abused by Myles Garrett all day......but understandable)


Defense:

1. Overshown (!!). 88.6
2. Lewis 81.1
3. Diggs 76.3
4. Micah 75.8. ( they crushed him on the tackling score with a grade 30.4 in that area)
5. Kendricks 71.9



Notables:

Mazi 30.4 ( our lowest graded defender)
Kneeland 68
Damone - 77 ( but only 26 snaps)

Curious about the low snaps for Damone were related to the injury or just because? Also curious if Overshown played a lot because of a running QB we faced or because he’s taken the spot.

Zimmer is not playing a LB with zero awareness. Expect Clark to sit.

Cz doesn't follow pff.......until they choose to.

Overshown played 44 snaps..... about 2/3 of the game.

A 30 grade would tell me that Mazi was getting washed on the regular. He was not really washed at all even on doubles.

The opaqueness to their grades make them questionable but I see anecdotes like this all the time that make them worthless IMO.

Well, it requires a membership to see the grades. So, you are welcome. You just have to understand they don't weight big plays so its a measure of snap-to-snap consistency as much as anything. Micah might have 2 sacks and get celebrated on here ad nauseum, but that doesn't gaurantee a good PFF grade if he doesn't show up for too many other snaps.

Clark is the Sam. The Sam comes off the field when we go into nickel.

Dak 58.0

Yep

Overshown is the Will. The Will only comes off the field if we go into the dime.

Well, we must have played a lot of dime. lol

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

It’s tough washing Mazi.

Rough on Micah, he wrecked the game for Cleveland.

In a blowout win it seems the offense should have had some higher grades. Presume more of it comes from the 2nd half.

We had 265 yards of offense. We punted 6 times. They actually beat us in time of possession somehow. The offense wasn't good. Zeke lead the running game with 40 yards and Dak passed for 179. Our defense won this game.

He did miss out on 2-3 sacks that Watson escaped is possibly why

PFF grading is a measure of consistency over the entire game. It doesn't weight big plays like sacks or INTs. He got a good grade overall but his tackling wasn't good apparently.

Problem with this stuff, it the majority of fans take it as gospel and spew it back out as facts. It's a resource but not the end all be all.

He might be a worse pick than Taco. Between Taco, Mazi, and Schoon.......maybe we should give drafting Michigan a rest for awhile.

Its a measure of play, and they do better at some positions than others. PFF is excellent at evaluating OL, DL, and LB play. Sometimes, the grades don't reflect what fans recall b/c we tend to only remember plays announcers make a big deal out of or draw our attention to.
