Pro Football Focus Scores for Saints Players in 2011 (Defense & Special Teams)
 

If you like my weekly in season grading then you'll love Pro Football Focus. Unfortunately you have to pay $30 a year to get access to their goodies. That's where I come in to hook you up. For those of you that aren't familiar, they grade every single player on every single play to give you an evaluation of each player and where they stack up. I generally share with you the final grades of the season to let you know where PFF felt the Saints players stacked up against the rest of the league.

"4-3 OLB: Last year Scott Shanle graded dead last among all graded 4-3 outside linebackers. This year, he graded 42nd out of 44. So hey, there's that. Slight improvement. Seriously though, once again he is considered by PFF one of the absolute worst starters in the league".

Nothing surprising about that statement. I knew our D was iffy but DAMN!! According to this we sound like the worst. I am not quite sure how they are coming to these conclusions.

No disrespect to who wrote this but if you watched the D play this year it was easy to see they all were at the bottom of the barrel. I don't think every player that graded bad is as bad as their grade at least I hope not. Spags does have a lot of work to do.
