I probably wouldn't call that a reluctance to play him. Especially considering he graded out as our 4th worst defensive player on the field.

Well, we're mostly in a 4-3 and the results have been pretty shi**y...

Now assuming the grading out mentioned is based on PFF, while a useful tool, I'd caution against over-reliance on a flawed and not nearly all encompassing grading...

We saw too many plays where Cam Jordan ran upfield, head in the air and right by ball carriers, failing to secure the edge allowing gashes underneath the tackles...

Type of plays I'm referring would be like that last killer drive by Detroit in the Saints vain comeback comes to mind...

PFF gave Cam Jordan a great grade in that game where I thought his gaffes were key and costly to the Brees-led comeback...

I'd be curious if PFF, using sabremetrics as they do, would factor sacks/plays; that's legitimate production and Edebali leads the team...

	It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
