Chandler Zavala - 72.9

I called having the OL grading out tops along with Bryce.  As the OL goes, so does Young.  The big nasties had about a clean of a sheet as I can remember in a VERY long time.  I'm sure the other guard is #6.

yes--watched his videos early on.

We had Zavala and Mays playing beside one another.  We have depth and youth.

 

 

Remember Zavala was injured most of last season (more injured than not) and we as fans gave him sh*t for bad play when dude was trying to muscle through the trials of playing banged up as a rookie and playing both guard positions. He was set up for failure.

As a team, we seem to do that a lot, and then crucify the player on the Huddle.  It’s what we do.

Bryce with 89.3 probably pushes his PFF score for the year up a bit. I think he was at 70 last week overall.

What a recovery!

Honestly surprised Coker and Thielen aren't in the 70s.

Honestly, he has looked good all season. The fact that almost across the board our OL that was so bad last year looks this much better says a lot about how bad the situation was under Reich.

Even with the additions of Hunt/Lewis, all these guys have really stepped up.

O-line/protection was by far the biggest difference from last week to this week.  And that was the difference between scoring 14 points and 44 points.

Yeah, the DE's were getting stoned by Moton/Ekwonu. That really stood out

Season grade: 74.4

Best of the offense

 

1. QB Bryce Young: 89.3
2. RT Taylor Moton: 81.7
3. C Cade Mays: 81.4
4. LT Ikem Ekwonu: 73.0
5. RG Chandler Zavala: 72.9

The guy who accounted for five touchdowns leads the offense. Shocker!

Young’s day, which yielded the second-highest overall offensive grade of his career, wouldn’t have gone down without the help of his hog mollies. Moton, Mays, Ekwonu and Zavala allowed a combined four pressures of their quarterback.

Worst of the offense

 

10. TE Tommy Tremble: 63.3
11. RB Miles Sanders: 63.0
12. TE Ja’Tavion Sanders: 58.1
13. RB Mike Boone: 55.5
14. WR David Moore: 54.8

When you score 44 points, there won’t be too many duds on offense. So the placements of Tremble, Sanders (Miles) and Moore—all of whom actually reached the end zone on Sunday—may be a little unfair.

Anyway, Sanders (again, Miles) returned after a six-game absence to record 116 yards from scrimmage and two scores—including the walk-off 1-yard run in overtime. So take that, PFF!

Worst of the defense

 

13. S Xavier Woods: 35.2
14. ILB Chandler Wooten: 33.2
15. DL DeShawn Williams: 31.9
16. DL Jaden Crumedy: 29.6
17. DL LaBryan Ray: 29.1

227 of those 537 yards for Atlanta came on the ground—and through the likes of Williams, Crumedy and Ray. They were each charged with a missed tackle.

Woods and Wooten missed two apiece.

[TheSpecialJuan]

Best of the defense

 

1. OLB Jadeveon Clowney: 68.3
2. S Jordan Fuller: 66.0
3. DL A’Shawn Robinson: 64.5
4. CB Caleb Farley: 59.1
5. CB Shemar Bartholomew: 55.5

Conversely, you’re not going to get a lot of high grades on defense when your team allows 38 points and 537 yards of total offense.

But we have one standout in Clowney, who registered a game-high seven pressures and a sack.

72 for Zavala is probably more than he’s ever gotten in a two-game stretch, let alone one.
