Yeah, I don’t disagree. Would’ve liked to see them strengthen the line a bit more than they did. The line was pretty rough a good chunk of last year.
That said, I do think this chart is being a little tough on our tackles. Not so much Spencer Brown since he still has a lot to prove, but more so Dawkins. Sure, he had a mediocre year up until after his second stint with Covid and coming back during that second Cheaters game. I thought he was pretty damn good from that point on. I also think before the early part of last year that Dawkins has been pretty good for us year over year too.
This projection seems to ignore that otherwise solid production in previous years as well as any recency bias with his strong play to close out last year. I’d have to know what goes into this projection, but odd that it seems to not give him much credit for a solid career overall here. I guess I would’ve expected the tackles rated in the mid-to-high 60s. I guess not far off, but a little harsh to me. Guard and center ratings look reasonable.
