Bocephuz Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) MY PREGAME IMPRESSIONS - I will be the first to admit that I thought Pears would really struggle this game. I thought he would be weak in the run game and do better in pass protect. Accordingly I went back to the tape to see what really happened. ___________ My grading is based on the following: - watching every snap of PEARS in NFL GAME Rewind WIN = Pears wins one on one battle / or clearly dominates opponent NEUTRAL = fights to a draw/ or double team help LOSS - Clearly loses one on one battle or appears to have been confused/ missed assignment _________________ WINS - 18 NEUTRAL - 27 LOSSES - 9 _______ CONCLUSION: Based on my math he was average or better 84% of the time... so he clearly wasn't dominated. Although he gave up zero sacks he had a few close calls and had some shaky moments in pass protect. In the run game he did a very good job of getting to the second level and at least got out to the edges on pulling/ screen plays ( which is to say he knew his assignment but he is a little awkward in open space) GRADE - B- ( PASS PROTECT: C+ / RUN GAME: B) Edited September 8, 2014 by Bocephuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
