PFF grades. How many times do you watch each play by each player?
|
The worst case may be Dan Connolly, starting guard/center for the Pats and now captain of their OL. He started out in Jax, and looked good here in two preseasons before he was eventually cut. I'm not sure why the Jags gave up on him. He was not an aging veteran, nor a cap casualty, nor a free agent.
As far as PFF ratings go, they can look at the plays, but can only guess at the assignments. If a pass rusher is unblocked by the OL and then picked up (or not) by a RB, was that the plan or did an offensive lineman badly miss an assignment? The PFF raters will not know that. From what I've seen PFF is fairly accurate with linemen, not so much at safety, and terrible at LB. In fairness the the Jags OL, I've seen a lot of defenders run free to the QB, and suspect that most of those are due to the play design rather than a mistake. The RBs rarely succeeded in stopping anyone. The TEs (especially Jacobs and a guy I think we cut earlier) were terrible. Sam Young was bad, and McClendon had problems. None of those reflect on the five starters. The three interior starters appear to be as good as most in the NFL. Joeckel was disappointing, although not the worst I've seen (cough Salaam cough), and Pasztor was worse than last year. Battling injuries may have been a problem there. There is reason for hope that the line will solidify with experience. Of course I remember a lot of players where I've hoped that was the case but it never materialized. Bringing in a good free agent RT is certainly warranted, and a LT will be needed if Joeckel doesn't improve significantly next year.
