We didn’t do a live chat during the Rams game… I was on a flight to minnesota during that one. Maybe he did that in a different game, can’t remember.

I remember that play on the live-chat. And how the numbers were going to go up because nobody was worried about tahi.

Interesting take.

I think giving a grade of some sort is more than anybody else does (including the NFL) when it comes to grading blocking.

I KNOW I didn’t like Tahi’s blocking this year… but didn’t see enough of McKie to make an assessment of my own, thus I decided to use PFF as a reference for this article.

haha, you pointing that out made me double check… his #’s were skewed by his 32 yard scramble against the Rams (I think it was the Rams).

Tahi with a 4.1 average per catch? That is certainly not true. He’s the master at turning 6 yard gains into 1 yard losses on catches.

Now, if we could only teach DooGun to snap the ball on punts and FGs we’d have an xtra roster spot.

CC, so in other words we need to see some game film on the guys and make up our own minds.

It seems PFF does try to do an in depth job at rating players. But while reading their rating rules I saw this-

What we definitely DO NOT do is raise or lower the grading because we’re not sure. Giving -0.5 rather than -1 or -1.5 because you can’t be certain what went on is wrong. The correct score is 0.

I disagree.
Thats like saying you’re not sure about a hit in baseball, and giving the guy an 0 for 0 in the box score. He either got a hit or he didnt.

I understand football is different, but the guy either did his job or he did not. Ya gotta give some kinda score for the play, or find another way.
