PFF Scores week 15

[Solid84]

I'm not going to be posting any grades save maybe just a few on stand-out players. 

 

I'll try to rank grades as follows:

Elite 90+

Great 80-89

Good 70-79

Above Average 65-69

Average 56-64

Below Average 50-55

Bad <50

For reference the baseline grade is 60.0 - the average. To make it easier for me I've made some PFF-grade intervals for each of the above categories (see above). Fewer grades under average because once you get into that area under "Below average" there's not much point in grading it - it's just not good enough.

Comments on grades for Offense, Defense and ST, week 15

 

Seeing as the cat's out of the bag on week 1-3 grades (my bad), I'll keep them here and make comments on the latest game.

 

Offense -  (week3/week2/week 1)

(55.2/74.7/53.1) - Overall Offense 

Week 15 - Good - One of our better offensive performances this season.

 

(49.3/80.6/49.2) - Passing

Week 15 - Good - Probably the best game Minshew has had as a starter this season.

 

(65.3/70.9/68.3) - Pass blocking

Week 15 - Average - Aggressive opponent in the Steelers and it showed in Pass blocking.

 

(62.3/63.2/57.1) - Receiver routes

Week 15 - Average - Pittman has carried this category for a few weeks now and unfortunately he got injured. Still our backups did a solid job.

 

(61.4/67.4/38.8) - Run game

Week 15 - Good - Sermon, Goodson and Moss all had good games and that opened up their defense.

 

(45.4/82.9/62.3) - Run blocking

Week 15 - Average - Ngl, I thought this would be a lot higher.

 

Solid performance. This is a case study in why a balanced offense is so important.

 

Defense - (week3/week2/week 1)

(57.7/62.3/78.9) - Overall Defense

Week 15 - Elite - That's right, defense weren't eating, they were down right feasting! Great job ya bunch of gluttons!

 

(43.1/74.4/83.4) - Run defense

Week 15 - Elite -Completely shut down their run game.

 

(39.0/51.8/66.4) - Tackling

Week 15 - Good - Defense' journal week 15: "Today we learned tackling...". The best week of tackling OF THE SEASON for our guys!

 

(67.4/72.5/73.3) - Passrush

Week 15 - Elite - Our DEs especially really hounded Trubisky!

 

(62.1/50.0/66.2) - Coverage 

Week 15 - Above Average - Solid performance!

 

Special Teams - (week3/week2/week 1)

(54.7/69.8/78.3) - Special Teams 

Week 15 - Bad - 2nd worst week of the season for our ST.

 

I bet our defense had fun out there after their first drive.

Minshew had his best game of the season as a starter. It helps the team so much when the offense is balanced. Raimann, Nelson and Kelly all had good games on the Oline while Fries and Freeland struggled a bit. Funny, I felt their run blocking was exceptional this game. Pittman had a good game as usual until he got injured. Montgomery stepped up nicely and helped the team. Besides Cox our TEs didn't do much good this game. Our RBs shined!

Buckner and Stewart had impressivee games. Consider Stewart, Martin, Paye and Lewis all graded out Great overall - that's 80+ - and none of them cracked our top 5 performers this week!!! Franklin and Speed both had good games. Our CBs didn't have a good day, but the passrush made up for it. Safeties did well with Cross showing he's coming for the FS position.

I've kinda already scrolled through the individual season changes. There will be a lot of change with positional ranks tomorrow when the rest of the games get calculated.

 

 

Will wait till then, although my daughter has a bball game tomorrow so will be a busy evening.

Thank you!

[GoColts8818]

These grades don’t reflect what I saw from Freeland and Fries, which is okay I am not a NFL scout.

[GoColts8818]

I do want to say Ballard deserves a lot of credit for finding Raimann.  He is a franchise left tackle and you just never hear his name which is good if you are a lineman.  I remember on draft night Venturi wanted the Colts to take him where they took Pierce and Ballard got him two rounds later.

Ballard got Raimann one round later.   Pierce went 53,  Woods 73, Raimann 77 and Cross went about pick 96.  
 

But, more to the point,  why shouldn’t Ballard get credit for that?    I guess I’m not following your meaning….

 Our scouts typically find the players and as we read pound the table for their finds.

 Ballard has the final say of course. Considering the value of the LT position, Ballard shouldn't be given credit for choosing Pierce over Raimann. 

 Remember, Ballard put his insight, and our $$ on Pryor.

He/we perhaps, lucked out.

Unfortunately Freeland is not following the same trajectory as Raiman did last year.  He’s played a lot and is not that great to be honest.  Below average at best.  He has shown in run blocking on occasion but overall Smith is clearly the superior tackle and he should be.  He is very good.  The sooner he returns the better we will be.  Hopefully Freeland improves over time but I wouldn’t be surprised if the veteran tackle we recently signed to the practice squad turns out to be our swing tackle next year.

I don't think its fair to compare the two. Raimann was viewed as a potential 1st round prospect (NFL.com & PFF were very high on him to name a few) that fell due to medical concerns (a number of teams reportedly failed him medically and took him off their boards), age, and a rough Senior Bowl week. Freeland was viewed way more as a developmental prospect. We drafted Raimann way below where he was projected and took Freeland a bit earlier than projected, and I think the difference between the two on the field as rookies shows that.

 

I think Raimann is also a bit of the exception than the expectation.

My point exactly.  He’s strictly developmental.  Nowhere near close to replacing Smith but there are some poster’s pushing for that to happen.  Move Smith to guard play Freeland.  He’s nowhere near in Smith’s class.  Yet some think he’s the guy.  The sooner Smith returns the better.

[Solid84]

Freeland, at minimum, needs S&C. There's likely also a lot of technique work to be done. I don't think he's a one year project like Raimann, but Freeland didn't show the same potential as Raimann coming out of college either. He'll be a good backup until he's ready.

Freeland was drafted to be a swing tackle who could possibly develop into a starter not a franchise LT.  He’s really faced the gauntlet of pass rushers this year.  Give him an offseason to develop more strength too and I think we see a pretty decent backup at worst for three more years.

There's, for whatever reason, a group of fans that always want to put Smith at RG even though he's proven to be a top RT when healthy. I just ignore that noise. Agreed though. Getting Smith back for a playoff push would be huge.

100%! He's got the athleticism, but his lack of strength has always been the biggest concern. He'll need a couple of years in an NFL S&C program to build the needed strength and, like you said, work on the technique, but absolutely a solid backup in the meantime.
