PFF Jags/tacks Re-Focused

Quote:<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">One of the few impressive performers on offense was Marcedes Lewis who graded out with an impressive +3.6 for his day’s work. A lot of that was solid run blocking on the edge, and almost all of the passing grade came from his ridiculous rumbling 27-yard catch and run that involved defenders bouncing off him as he ran up the left sideline. This one play summed up Lewis’ ability with the ball in his hands as he spun away from the first man, cut inside the second, bounced off a linebacker, and then delivered a nasty ‘sit down!’ stiff-arm to CB Alterraun Verner before finally being dragged down from behind by the man he originally beat on the play, Bernard Pollard. It’s a shame the Jaguars aren’t in a position where they can make better use of Lewis given their QB position, but this was a teasing glimpse for the fanbase.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">Leading the team in defensive stops, it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to see Geno Hayesmentioned here with a fine grade. Hayes made seven solo tackles and chipped in with another five assists as he got all over the field, making defensive stops on six of those plays. He flew through to blow up a few run plays, but his really fine work came in coverage, where he was thrown at nine times, and allowed just five receptions for 26 yards, routinely stopping players close to the line of scrimmage and well away from the first-down markers. He was joined with a fine day in coverage by Dwayne Gratz. Like Hayes, Gratz also made a few nice plays in the run game, but his highlight came with his interception, playing his deep third in Cover-3 perfectly, splitting the distance between two vertical routes before breaking inside and picking off the pass.

 
 

It's a shame Lewis may not be around to play in Jacksonville with a real QB and an O-Line that doesn't require his help so often.   He'll always be good for a drop or two - but he obviously can be productive when given the opportunity.  He seems to be blocking instead of running a route 70% of the time he's on the field currently. 

 

Gratz and Hayes certainly earned their positive grades.  Hopefully that's the start of a trend.

 

There's plenty of bad grades to go around as well.
