One place I will agree with Zimmer is that PFF rankings for O-Linemen are basically garbage.
Unless they know the responsibility for each player on each play, all they're doing is looking at the end result and not how they got there. A guy who allowed a "pressure" may have been doing the exact job asked of him because that may not have been his man to block.
Unless you are all straight up man blocking the guy across from you on every snap, its all noise, very little signal.
I find that a bit of a cop out.
Yeah, you don't know what they are doing EVERY SINGLE play.
But on A LOT of plays... you see a guy get locked up or double teaming a defender.
Pretty easy to figure out those.
When Bradbury gets knocked on his ass... guessing that is not his assignment.
For guys who spend tons of time watching film on OL... probably they can accurately guess assignments more often than not.
Sure. But anyone with eyes can see when a guy gets blown on his ass, or conversely, absolutely stones someone.
PFF is supposed to give you the stuff you don't get with the "eye test", but they're doing a whole lot of guessing and assuming on those plays.
I do think Kirk makes our line look worse than it is, but I don't buy, in any way, that we have a Top 5 O-Line. Or that our Interior Line graded out at #2, #6 and #10 last week.
