Why? You know they've become almost like the gold standard when dealing with stats. They actually work hand in hand with a handful of NFL teams.

Re: PFF best/worst

In all fairness, Jimmy Graham is more of a wide receiver... He does nothing as a run blocker or in pass protection. PFF takes that into account when grading him as a tight end.

Charles Brown has also graded out on the positive side. While a lot of folks have been harping about our tackles, what they don't realize it's the interior line. I'm usually confused when after games people start complaining about the tackles. Center and RG has been the problematic part of our line so far.

Re: PFF best/worst

People also need to remember that Sean Payton himself, said Drew was holding the ball longer this year due to seeing more man coverage... which I guess he's hasn't been accustomed to these past few years.

It's easy to just point fingers at the o-line. It's not just them and that's coming straight from the horses mouth.

He always held the ball for a long time to me. I like our o line. Not Strief as much, but Drew sits back there a lot. That Super Bowl year they gave him an unrealistic amount of time to throw. He can't expect that type of time.

Re: PFF best/worst

Our tackles have been fantastic... For God's sake, Lelito gave up 3 sacks last weekend and before that Jahri was getting called for holding penalties a few times because he was injured. Brown and Strief have been great, but in an odd twist off fate our interior O-Line is struggling.
