Some PFF stats

[Keep Pounding]

Byron is going to be a really good OT in this league.

A lot of people wanted his head this off season..... I think he was a steal... Being an UDRFA.......

[Tarheels23]

Bell & Gross are quietly having a good start to the season, and this has been going on since preseason.

Bell plays with more attitude now, which I love.

Do they say anything about Josh Norman? I'd like to get some metrics on him.

They gave him a positive grade against the run, negative against the pass. Gamble, Godfrey, and Davis being the only ones given a Positve grade in pass coverage.

Norman targeted 6 times, 5 completions for 74 yards

Can someone please post some PFF stats/grades of our LB's?

[JawnyBlaze]

Yea, Bell is off to a good start. Glad he's proving us doubters wrong.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Our OTs have been great to start the year...huge test for them coming up Thursday, let's go out there and get a win. It's funny because the saints and giants both throw the ball really well, but a little bit different because of personnel, saints were mostly Graham and the RBs, and the giants are those big 2 receivers and mediocre backs and TEs

[JawnyBlaze]

Yea, I think TB and NO were tests for our front 7 (vs RBs and TEs), NY will be a test for our back 4 (vs WRs).

Norman's metrics would look a lot better if it weren't for that slip/long pass to Colston. All things considered, though, he's doing pretty well for a 5th round rookie from a small school. He's had two really tough matchups so far and has his toughest yet this week.

Chur bro! I appreciate it. Did all the LB's not named Anderson receive negative grades on run D then? Wouldn't be surprised :(

Yep.

[fieryprophet]

On that LaFell trick play, Byron Bell pancaked and bellyflopped on his defender so hard I swore I heard the guy go Glarghbarghlaba!

[nagai]

Yep.

Ouch. Ah well, I have faith that they can pick it up. They're a really talented bunch.

Luke and TD technically had negative grades but weren't bad. The only real negative they handed out was Beason.....but that is to be expected. Going to take probably a couple more games for him to get consistant again.
