Wonder what Tracy got dinged for, he had a great game.

He's a young player; from my perspective, his pass pro could be better, which takes time to learn.  There were also two drop passes.

I'll be honest, if he's putting up 140 yards a game. I couldn't care less about his pass protection.

Points to the folly of these grades - not with standing I appreciate Rich's efforts and I find them interesting.

@MrGap92

This is correct

His rushing grade (80.4) was dragged down by his pass blocking (46.9) and receiving (38.8)

There were quite a few drops last night, across the board. Far far too many penalties also.

Drops have been plaguing this team all year

Very true, Sem; some of those we're just going to accept as a byproduct of being a very young football team.  Nabers, Tracy, and Theo should be afforded some time to adjust to the NFL game.

Rich - what was Chris Hubbard's score? He was horrific in pass protection often not even so much as touching his man. Wondering how he graded out in run blocking

Is that talent issue or coaching?

Probably a little of both.  Drops are often an indication of a lack of attention to detail or lack of concentration.  It can also be an indicator of a player's lack of ability.  With so many players dropping balls, I think it's an organizational rather than an individual issue.

When a RB who was a former WR is suffering the drops, it makes one wonder

We should give them all 6 years minimum to make sure they are the future of this team.

How can coaching be responsible for drops?

[Sem]

In my opinion many of the drops last night were from a lapse of concentration.

Ted. we agree. Hubbard reminded me of Ian Allen, a regular turnstile to the QB. There were several rushes where he never even laid a hand on the defender. Please don't insult my intelligence by saying it he only had a few days of practice. He is a professional football player, who has played LT before. It should come naturally, nothing you have to learn.
