• 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 17

 

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 

Good - One of our best games of the season for the offense.

 

(49.3/80.6/49.2) - Passing

Good - Good game for Minshew.

 

(65.3/70.9/68.3) - Pass blocking

Great - 2nd best Pass blocking performance of the season for our offense!

 

(62.3/63.2/57.1) - Receiver routes

Good - 3rd best game of the season.

 

(61.4/67.4/38.8) - Run game

Average - The grades suggest our good run game was mainly due to good run blocking.

 

(45.4/82.9/62.3) - Run blocking

Good - 3rd best Run blocking performance of the season!

 

Just a solid overall performance from the offense when we needed it!

 

Defense - (week3/week2/week 1)

Average - Average performance as all sub-categories show.

Minshew had a good game when we needed him to. Our whole Oline had a good day with only Kelly struggling a little in Pass protection. Downs best game in a while after 5 rather forgetable games. Pittman back is good for the team. Pierce getting those deep shots opens up the defense. Cox and Granson didn't have good games, but Mallory did. Taylor and Sermon benefited from good Run blocking this game.

DIs did okay, but our DEs didn't have a good game overall. Rough game for our LBs - they get picked on. Harrison did well at Safety. For our CBs Brents had a good game. Jones a had a few mishaps and Lammons wasn't good. Thomas is playing himself out of the line-up. Cross and Harrison did well overall.

Yet some people think the Colts should take a tackle if he’s there in the first round because they aren’t sold on Raimann…

Sure looked like Nelson was responsible for getting beat on the stunt by Crosby

I really like Raimann. Great pick by Ballard.

 

Brents will be good. He keeps showing flashes. He'll just need more experience.

 

Nelson has been good in pass protection this season, but he's still not up to par with run blocking.

[lollygagger8]

I want Paye to be good and he isn't

Dayo is meh 

Not a slight on Ballard, but it sucks our best DE is a player he didn't draft. I just hope he opens up the checkbook this off season! 

 

Raimann has been a Godsend. That dude is legit. 

 

TE's: they are going to need to draft a good one. 

Granson really isn't good. 

Mallory is semi-exciting.

Ogletree was ok, but might be gone considering what happens with the battery charges. 

Mo Cox is being used as a blocker 90% of the time 

Need Woods back! 

 

Going to have to draft a LB or 2 as well

I wouldn't say Pate isn't good...he is a much more balanced defender.  I think all of us expected and hoped he would become a great speed rusher, but he was never that guy and in hindsight I think it was wishful thinking.  He has a high motor and plays both the pass and run with competence. Having said that, I don't think he was worth the pick where we took him.  He has played like more of a second rounder/low first rounder. 

Dayo has either met or exceeded expectations at this point- but I also think he has played about right where you would expect a second rounder (especially coming off an Achilles) to play.  His sack numbers keep trending up and I am excited to see how he continues to develop.

I would agree that Grandson can go.  You can find an undersized receiving tight end literally anywhere.  He is just a guy, always was, and was probably only drafted because Frank Reich was pounding the table for him.   

You're right- Mallory has looked good on a small sample size.  I would just let Ogletree walk at this point, and Mo-Allie is a very expensive backup who I don't see us keeping.   

Also- Jelani Woods is apparently made of the only most fragile type of glass, since a hamstring has now kept him out the entire year after a very promising rookie campaign.  I would hold onto him simply for his measurables. but I would be pretty worried here too.  Expect an upgrade at the TE position as a whole. 

 

Definitely need a few more LB's with specific skillsets or a stud that can do it all. High pick anyone?

 

 

 

 

[Hark]

While PFF grades are far from a perfect metric, I think they confirm the eye test that the Colts have a pretty good offense. Of course everyone would like to see more electric playmakers, but with AR getting healthy next year, I think some young depth might be all we need on that side of the ball. I'm thinking particularly on the o-line. Hopefully this will be a defensive oriented off-season. Would like to see the Colts get some help at LB (draft), DE (another Ebukam type signing would be phenomenal), and some depth at safety. I Think our young corners will be fine, but would like to bring in a vet to help solidify the room.

Seriously?  The Colts gave up no sacks and 3 pressures the entire game with 25 drop backs.  The line was the 3rd ranked line in pass blocking Sunday in the entire league.  And you’re nit picking on Nelson for possibly one play against one of the elite pass rushers in the NFL.  I don’t understand the point behind the post.

[GoColts8818]

9 hours ago, Hawkeyecolt said:

Yes he got beat on one play by one of the best of pass rushers in the NFL.  Care to talk about how he did the rest of the game?

[smittywerb]

My top 3 takeaways:

 

- JuJu is THAT guy.  He almost shadowed Devantae, top 5 receiver in the league and graded out well.  He has the same problem AR has, he just needs to play more.

 

- I was never sold on Thomas.  He was a placeholder to me.  Good to see Cross doing well but still think we should take a FS playmaker if he’s available in the second round

 

- Ebukam was a great signing by Ballard.  Dude has been solid all year.  Paye has been just ok.  I’m hoping Ballard writes a check for Chase Young if we reach out and he’s ok with coming here
