That's two weeks in a row Malcolm Jenkins graded in the bottom five, this week Sheldon Rankins is joining him...

At this point, I'd consider Rankins a bust as a pick; not a Sullivan or Shawn Knight bust, but a bust nonetheless...

We'd done better elevating Gardner to SS and acquiring an add'l outside CB instead of wasting money on Malcolm Jenkins tired-arse game...

Don't know if it's fair to put Kwon on there. The guy tore his friggin' achilles. That'll affect a guys stats.

That’s not how this works lol...

Read a little bit on how PFF grades are put together, I’m not going to do it for you, but I’ll let you know it doesn’t matter what their stats are and doesn’t apply a grade if a player is on the bench.

I always approach PFF grading with a grain of salt. Trust what you see on the field.

Anzalone gave up at least 2 wide open touchdowns

Oh crap!

Kwon's impact will be sorely missed.

That remains to be seen. I'm taking a more positive stance that the team will rally behind the loss of one single player.

Besides, this isn't some sort of elite player we're talking about. I fear y'all are placing FAR too much importance on one player.

Either way you look at it we lost speed and coverage ability with Kwon going down. Sure, he isn’t a perennial Pro-Bowler but our front seven is way better with him than without and Alex has been in this defense for 3 years. To this day he is still a liability in the run and passing game. His reaction time is horrible.

Just watch his tape....
