PFF grades are always interesting. Some you can immediately dismiss (X rated 31/116).

But what jumps out at you is the offensive line grades. One plus starter (Hunt). One low tier player in Dieter. And 3 unplayable albatross's in Jackson, Eichenberg, and Davis. And that basically lines up with the eye test.

 

[dolfan91]

Look no further than Wilkins and Sieler as to the reason's the run defense has improved

 

[Irishfinfan1]

Fantastic how Sieler and Wilkins are doing, making a big difference to the D

 

[SF Dolphin Fan]

I still don't get the low rankings for Phillips and Davis on defense.

 

[sap1993]

Raekwon has definitely taken a step back this year, but overall he hasn't been bad. You can tell the injury got to him a little.

As a whole, we have to be thrilled with the defensive picks in the draft the last 6 years....X, Baker, Wilkins, AVG, Raekwon, Brandon Jones, Phillips and Holland

 

[The Bopkin]

How about our man Holland...8 out of 91.
And Waddle...nailed those 2 picks.
Some of those grades just seem off, as has been noted- Raekwon Davis jumps out. Sieler 7th? WOW. I would not have guessed that.

and people love to pick on Byron Jones.

he got a lot of money.

he isn't xavien howard.

but i don't see too many QB/WR combos trying to test him on the regular.

he seems to hold his own pretty well over there, making them go to their third receiver or tight end, etc.

it's a real luxury to have him back there paired with X, and i don't think people appreciate it.

throw in Seiler and Ogbah, and they haven't been too shabby with defensive Free Agency either (even Elasticman Roberts starts, and Adam Butler gets into the DL rotation).

If they were just in the middle of the pack.

Are Davis and Eichenberg engaged in a suck off?

32 teams, 2 tackles each = 64 and both these guys are in the 80s.

that's what happens when you draft a guy to be your RT as a rookie, then your LT sucks so bad he has to be moved to LG, and your rookie RT has to play LT!

i don't blame Eich one iota for what he has been asked to do this season.

Jesse Davis, on the other hand, should never ever ever see the field unless someone (G or T) gets their bell rung (knee bumped, ankle twisted, etc.) during a game, and he has to come in for a few plays.

THAT'S IT.

 

[Andyman]

I still don't get the low rankings for Phillips and Davis on defense.

Yeah, those stand out. No way. To be fair I think Eichenberg has improved a lot too. Not good but he’s not awful every week.

 

[Joe Dolfan]

Why no long ass disclaimer for anyone other than Tua? I'm not saying a pff score is worth putting stock in, or anything, but aren't there extenuating circumstances for anyone else? No one else is a couple of points away from being sufficiently higher or lower?

Eichenberg played LT in college, started 38 games, 5th year senior, will be 24 years old in a month.

Jackson played LT in college, started 25 games, true junior, is 22 years 4 months old.

I would expect Eichenberg to be much more pro ready than Jackson coming out.

So far, they both suck. Agree with needing an upgrade for Davis.

That’s it

Agree. Eichenberg has had a couple of pretty solid outings. He could eventually move inside.
