My suggestion - Dont take these grades seriously.

 

They're done by a guy that was a radio producer 5 years ago.

 

I don’t blame him for trying but I have no faith that he actually knows what he is seeing.

Tre was amazing.   His best game of the year.   He's just born to play NFL cb.  The dude is sticky but doesnt blatantly hold, great ball instincts and timing, plays bigger than he is.

 

If Tre had 4.3 or even low 4.4 speed...

I don't have film and I can't read the full article, but I'm not sure I buy everything he says.  Is he telling me that Allen was only pressured a few times and the one sack?  He was pressured most of the first half.

 

It's not uncommon that Joe B sees things quite a bit differently than some others of us.

 

He can have good insights on the film, but I don't understand his grading system at all.

Am I missing something. I thought the pass pro was really struggling in the first half. Josh had someone in his face instantly every play. 

 

 

He didn't say Allen never had pressures, I believe. He was referring to whether the OL gave up pressures. There's a difference there.

 

For example, if the backfield is empty and the TE goes out on a pass and the defense sends six against five OLs, and the OLs do their job, Allen will still have someone in his face even if the OLs all do a great job.

 

And the OL was outnumbered a lot in that game.

 

Joe is smart, and he knows what he's looking at.

D+, not D-. Still, I also found that a bit surprising.

 

I don't remember him much that game, but four targets and zero catches is on the face of it not very good. Hard to know without going through and watching the film as Joe did. He certainly hasn't usually given Sanders low grades this year. Just the opposite. Through Week 6 and the Titans he had him cumulatively the 10th best on the team.

Don't forget he had two catches in the game but McDermott chose to accept the penalty on the play because it resulted in a first down vs a short 2nd down
