Gaskins needs to replace Edmonds, who’s been a complete waste of resources. Igbo’s and Eich’s numbers are what I expected, both are backups, not starters. Kohou and Sherfield are pleasant surprises.

Thanks for posting. PFF grades are far from perfect, but it’s fascinating how many elite and terrible players we seemingly have according to PFF.

Edmonds, Eichenberg, Smythe, Shell, Little, Ingold, and Rowe are very nearly the worst players in the league at their positions. Raekwon Davis, Igbinoghene, and Elandon Roberts are not much better.

Interesting how well Riley and Baker grade out, though. I regard them as well below average players, but maybe I’m wrong about that.

The infatuation with Sherfield doesn’t seem to have much basis according to PFF. Wouldn’t mind finally giving Wilson or EZ an extended audition as WR3.

Shell needs a little more respect here. The improvement over Little at RT was MASSIVE. We were actually able to run the ball and Tua had a pretty decent pocket for 2-3 seconds instead of an instant collapse from the right side.

I agree Shell was much better than Little but I feel like most of the nice runs came behind Armstead

Yes. Let's replace the guy who seems inept with the guy that seems more inept. That'll get it back on track.

I agree that Shell was much better than Little, but IMO that says more about Little than Shell.

Terron Armstead has been a beast in the run game when he's active. Mostert was capitalizing on the huge holes that Terron created yesterday for nice gains.

I don't think Gaskin is inept, I think Gaskin was undeserving of the role he had under Flores due to his limited athletic profile.

Agree. Gaskin is small with no explosiveness, which means he’s not someone you want touching the ball 20 times a game. But he’s perfectly adequate to handle 3-5 carries and 3-5 targets a game. I wouldn’t shelve Edmonds forever, but I think Gaskin should take his job next game. Give him a shot to impress and give Edmonds a game to get his head on straight.

When a player is ranked last in the league at his position, sometimes you just need to shake things up

Eich: moving up!

Gaskin doesn't present the bigger target that Edmonds does, but a lot of our frustration with Edmonds comes from his squandering chances in the passing game, and Gaskin almost always makes good on those.

It really does. Little's 28.0 rating is pretty unheard of.

What hasn't made sense is that Edmonds was a pretty reliable receiver in Arizona. Last two seasons caught 96 of 120 targets. Don't know if he's pressing, but everything about his past says he's better than Gaskin.....but so far he hasn't been that guy.
