"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."
~ Coach Tom Coughlin

What a pleasant surprise!   If, a big if, if our current tackles can manage average play while AT recovers, it frees up draft resources in offseason. This would be a huge help in the rebuild and insurance if AT has future games missed.

QuoteYou may be surprised to see Daniel Jones with an average (65.7) overall grade, a few points lower for passing. I was. This is what I suspect is one weakness of PFF grades. To my knowledge they grade how well a QB throws the ball, and not the decisions made or the timing. If you get the ball anywhere near where the receiver can catch it, you get an average grade, and that apparently was the grader's assessment of much of his play. His two sacks were considered the offensive line's responsibility, when in reality he took his time setting and winding up to throw on the flea flicker when an elite QB would have sensed the pressure and released the ball more quickly. Somehow he was not charged with a batted pass...maybe you can't give a batted pass and an interception on the same play? I believe PFF doesn't grade you down for not seeing an open receiver downfield and throwing short instead, which is a chronic problem for him.
Very interesting tidbits. I can't help but to think that since PFF doesn't ding him for his chronic problem, his grades are inflated because of it.

Interesting, many who defend Jones often site PFF too.
