Saints O/D Line
 

Seeing how we preform on the field is one thing, seeing how our players rank against the rest of the league is another.

Guards (Evans #8/Grubs #20),
Tackles (Strief #1 Brown #42),
*Guards and Tackles are ranked out of 57 players.

Run Blocking Efficiency

Grubs (7.6)
Strief (15)
Brown (-4.7)

DLP our 2nd best pass blocker huh?

Re: Saints O/D Line
 

Yep.. I struggled with that concept also.. The numbers come from PFT... Sort of an accumulation of the ReFo gradings you have been posting.

Re: Saints O/D Line
 

Did you see a ranking of the run grades or just the grades?

It looks like Strief is by far our best O-lineman and the others aren't even close.

Re: Saints O/D Line
 

I've noticed that a lot of the TFL's are because a LB is shooting the gaps in our zone blocking attempts. That wouldn't necessarily reflect on an O-lineman since they're actually blocking their man, its just the whole scheme is being poorly played.

I swear dlp looks like the weak link.

Zone blocking scheme needs to go

Re: Saints O/D Line
 

I did see the rankings, but they can get skewed based on the % participation you chose to set
It on.


And yes on the LBs. Someone made a comment in the Dallas thread about Ware and what I remembered was the reverse where our TE was stuffed 8 yards back. We don't have to worry DEs as much as LBs shooting inside gaps. That would be a missed pick up I presume?


I'll cover RBs and WRs tomorrow in different threads.

Look on the bright side, Brees is actually having to earn all his money. Let's just hope one of the O-line don't go down, what then? They are not playing well at all.

Re: Saints O/D Line
 

Looking on the bright side as well, replacing a woefully under-performing O-lineman with a hungry reserve probably isn't that much of a drop-off is it?
