Quite a differnt story on run blocking vs. pass blocking:
Run Blocking:
Sewell 68.4
Ratledge 64.1
Mahogony 58.1
Decker 36.6
Glasgow 34.4
Pass blocking:
Decker 73.5
Glasgow 71.9
Sewell 69.7
Mahogony 43.9
Ratledge 39.2
This is not good having our most experienced guys shit the bed on run blocking. I can live with the young guys having a hard time with pass-blocking - they will improve. But Decker and Glasgow need to step it up big-time, and it makes you wonder whether they actually can.
How did AA score in the 80s given that killer of a drop?
According to PFF, as a team, we are #1 in tackling. I shudder to think of what the score might have been if we were average in tackling yesterday.
I haven’t rewatched, but the game just sort of looked like GB had all day to pass because Det couldn’t get to the QB, Detroit couldn’t run super effectively because they couldn’t run block, GB got to the passer enough to change the game at key moments, and GB’s secondary kept everybody in front of them even when Goff was given time to pass.
Sounds like having more runs behind the best run blocking tackle in football might help. I also hope they get Skipper back on the active roster where he belongs so they can run the jumbo packages that have worked so well the last few seasons.
Ok I get what PFF says but has anyone talked to Jon?
You mean that pass defended?
Maybe the poor performance had something to do with not working together as a unit for one damn preseason snap. You don’t use the regular season as the preseason.
I’m going right to the reply. I’m afraid to read this one.
That goes in the books as a pass defended.
In PFF’s system? Really?
it goes in the books as a PD, but that’s not PFF’s system.
Looks like the young pups struggled. Not a huge surprise. Glasgow looked cooked last year tho - I was hoping that trend would not continue this season. The young guys I feel like can get better. Glasgow tho? Not sure in that
rags retiring was a big deal, for sure. hope gg can step up. I love him as a backup g/c/g…as a starting c, it’s a tougher ask for him.
I get that but I would assume that PFF would incorporate the fact that he let a game changing play get away from him into his score.
Thanks for posting.
Yeah, TWO guys grading out so terribly in both run and passpro is a recipe for disaster. Disturbing to see that everyone but Penei was awful in one or the other, meaning that we need FOUR guys to get their stuff together.
Hank has a LOT of work to do this week!
This comes from PFF’s explanation on how they grade. While it does not say what you are asking explicitly, my interpretation is that Anzalone would have been downgraded on that play.
PFF grades the play, not its result, so the quarterback that throws the ball to defenders will be downgraded whether the defender catches the ball to notch the interception on the stat sheet or not. No amount of broken tackles and yards after the catch from a bubble screen will earn a quarterback a better grade, even though his passing stats may be getting padded.
The same is true for most positions. Statistics can be misleading. A tackle whose quarterback gets the ball out of his hands quicker than anybody else may not give up many sacks, but he can still be beaten often and earn a poor grade.
@BigNatty it’s like asking you for hair cut advice. 
Hopefully these kids grow fast on the oline. God we miss Ragnow.
Love ya brother!
Agreed
Love you too, man
