Re: PFF 1st quarter O-line grades
If we're giving grades based solely on pressure put on Drew, I actually think we're being a little harsh. Besides that one atrocious performance by Lelito that other game, completely discounting our run blocking, I'd actually go C+. Remember some of the pressure and hits Drew took earlier this year was attributed to him holding onto the ball too long... which many took as being the offensive line's fault.
Both our tackles this year have exceeded expectations(so far at least). Grubbs besides being blown up visibly in the Miami game, on one play I might add, has been our best interior lineman. He's been phenomenal on screen plays and his pass blocking has been fine. We get Evans playing his typical ball and De La Puenta to play decent, we're looking at a solid line. Being that we have a great coach and quarterback, that's all we need. We don't need a great offensive line to be a great offense.
