It is encouraging that the OL is better without AT being at his absolute best. The IoL is really improving but cannot zone run block to save their lives!

Dex not being elite is a travesty.

Yeah, best to avoid the zone blocking

This was the first week this season that the Offensive line had a 70+ Run Blocking grade and both RB and PB were over 70. Last season they never accomplished that. They had 3 PB team Grades over 70 and 1 RB Grade over 70, not in the same week. The last time that happened was October 16th, 2022.

elu was just swallowing defenders. completely engulfed his man almost every play. its great to see good Rt play. the linebackers certainly missed on a few tackles. surprised lawrence didnt grade higher considering how many pressures and sacks he had. probably didnt do as well against the run.

Dex's run defense and tackling brought down his pass rush grade

The craziest thing was Van Roten's 91 RB and 35 PB for a final grade of 82.2.

A receiver gets hurt and Slayton outperforms expectations. That has happened a lot since 2019.

Especially in light of his split of 40 PB snaps vs 32 RB snaps

These analytics annoy the crap out of me because I usually consider them inconsistent at best and yet I always come to take a peak!

JMS played very very well. There were lotta holes and he dealt with crowd well

At the beginning of the season I said Schoen had improved this team from the one he inherited. I was challenged if that was really true or not. Other than running back I can't think of a position group that is worse today than the day he was hired. We aren't there yet but I'm encouraged each week with the progression of our first and second year players.

Just curious, what DOESN't annoy the crap out of you. In the words of Aaron Rodgers, relax.
