    PFF OL Scores through 2 Games

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    Here is the ranking of our guards through 2 games:

                                  Overall     Overall             Pass Block               Run Block

    Jack Mewhort         28th         76 -  Ave          80.8 - Above Ave     72.1 - Average

    Denzelle Good       59th         47.9-Poor         39.1 - Poor               70  -  Average

     

    Only 3 other guards have a lower score than Good in Pass Blocking

     

    Here is the ranking of our OT's through 2 games:

                                  Overall     Overall             Pass Block               Run Block

    Anthony Castonzo  38th         74.2 - Ave        75.1  - Ave               70.4 - Ave

    Joe Reitz                 49th         48.3 - Poor      47.5 - Poor               50.9 - Poor

     

    And finally, our center, which doesn't add up.        

                                  Overall     Overall             Pass Block               Run Block

    Ryan Kelly             24th          54.8 - Poor      74.6 - Ave                47.2

     

    This is PFF so take it with a grain of salt.

     

    On the bright side, Luck is ranked number 2 overall.                                      

    PFF OL Scores through 2 Games

    Yeah, I remembered him and the left side of the line were all average against the Lions.  Actually, Castonzo was above average.  They do have Kelly shown at 54.8 on the player grades so, yes, they did screw something up.  I only found his 78 score against Broncos when I actually read the article.  At least we know we are at least average for C, LG, and LT.  We need to experiment a bit with the right side of line.

    Good                     47.9             Poor

    Reitz                      48.3             Poor

    Kelly                      54.8             Poor

    Castonzo               74.2             Average

    Mewhort                 76.0            Average

     

    No real surprises other than I thought Kelly would be higher, but I still love his play.  He will get better.  Reitz will not.  Good is still a question mark.

    Colts O vs Broncos D per PFF

    Our 3 wr, 1te, 1rb set looks good against their defense.  I think our new look offense rivals Carolina's so it will be interesting to see how the grades fluctuate after Denver.  The big mismatch that works against us is Reitz vs Miller.  Definitely need to utilize rb and te chip and releases.  The big mismatch working in our favor, believe it or not, is our interior line vs Denver's interior line and inside linebackers.  Colts offensive player grades against Detroit.   Gore  48.5  Poor       Reitz  54.3  Poor       Good  72  Average       Dorsett  73  Average       Moncrief  74.3  Average       Mewhort  75.5  Average       Kelly  75.6  Average       Hilton  78.8  Average       Allen  79.1  Average       Castonzo  82.1  Above Average       Luck  95.2  Elite           Colt's cumulative score = 808.4

     

    Broncos defensive players grades against Carolina       Keo  N/A (I gave him a score of 50 just to be cautious)       Roby  31.1  Poor       Ward  36  Poor       Wolfe  40.9  Poor     Marshall  45  Poor     Gotsis  53.1  Poor     Ware  74.9  Average     Talib  79.2  Average     Stewart  79.4  Average       Miller  81.9  Above Average     Harris  88.7  High Quality          Broncos cumulative score = 660.2

     

    Anyway, Colt's offensive match ups against Denver's Defense looks good per PFF.  Crossing fingers everyone stays healthy this time around playing Denver.

    I hate to say it, as bad as I want to go defense in the early rounds, I think we need to spend one more year addressing the offense in rounds 1 and 2.  We have neglected running back since Edge and it shows.  We finally have a young and promising offensive line that should be around for awhile.  The only question mark to me is still the RT position, but Haeg may shine before the season is over.  Get 2 top flight RB's in rounds 1 through 3 and spend the rest of draft on defense hoping we find a couple more hidden gems like Anderson and Parry.

    Reitz, D Jackson, and Mathis have all maxed their potential.  Might as well give Haeg, Morrison, and Maggitt (sp?) a shot and see how PFF grades them out.  Dline is just going to suck until Anderson and Jones get back.  Really impressed with Melvin.  We now have a legitimate group of cb's when healthy. (Davis, Cromartie, Robinson, Butler, Melvin).  We just have to face the fact that the offense needs to stay healthy and come away with points on virtually every drive for the next 2 to 3 weeks as we start to clear out our defensive triage unit.

        The Lions offense doesn't suck.  Stafford is a perennial 4,000 yard passer.  They have invested a lot of high picks on their offensive line.  And, their running backs are very elusive.  Combined with our banged up dline, our below average and old linebacking corp, and our decimated secondary, I can't say I was majorly surprised.  I was * as hell we lost by giving up a field goal the way we did.  I was more impressed by the offense we have finally put together,  Our dline and secondary, when healthy, are at least average.  We just need to get younger and draft high IQ, high effort, tough coverage linebackers and edge rushers next year.  LOL, I would say exclusively in next years draft 1st 4 rounds.

         We need to take a page out of the Patriots notebook.  Their line was very average last year, yet the offense put up great numbers.  If your offensive line has trouble pass blocking and can't run block, you need to turn the short passing game into your running game.  Short, quick drops and dump it off or throw darts on quick slants.  Patriots kill teams doing that.  We did beat the Broncos with less talent on offensive line last year so I'm still hopeful Chud will game plan better against good defensive teams like the Eagles during the regular season.
