McLaurin was returning from injury, so I’m not sure how much I’d credit Wilson with shutting him down. Wilson had only one pass defended. I think rather than blanketing McLaurin it was more a case of Howell not being an effective QB.
This is situational. It’s true some of the blame falls to Dobbs and the OC, but when the Cards are in their own end getting 4 yards a carry and virtually no even midrange passing game, 5 yards is a big deficit. Better yet on that type of play call why don’t you explain how a competent center ends up downfield? What did you see as his accomplishments yesterday?Drive Killer
His only penalty was an ineligible man downfield on 2nd and 8 on our own 18 that negated a 4 yard pass. Which became a 2nd and 13. Hardly a drive killer. And it was just at the start of Q2.
And he was about a yard down. Not great, but hardly unheard of.
Not really unhappy, more surprised. I predicted if Dobbs started they’d only score 6, but the defense changed that. I did think they’d run better. I do agree Dobbs starts next week though IMO that’s a mistake. Sorry but in watching MLB this year, tanking can work. I’m not sure there was much else they could do if they wanted to clear out the Kingsbury mindset too many players had.
I hope you’re right about Murray.
46.9 would seem scary. I’m not fully sold on all aspects of PFF, but they’re usually not that far off.
There is no doubt that he has a lot of room to grow as a QB. Living his entire life in Kliff or Kliff like systems gives me hope. He has physical tools that nearly no other QB has ever had. He also was delusional about what was needed in terms of preparation for success in the NFL.
Yeah - it's certainly not gospel, but they can usually tell you with some accuracy who had a good game and who didn't. Just a part of the data set.
Looks like there's a lot of work to be done.
Judging from the fact that the majority of NFL teams subscribe, I’d say a few people take it seriously. You’re right that the difference between 46.9 & 46.8 isn’t meaningful. However the difference between 46.9 compared to 80.0 would seem to imply someone saw quite a few weak plays To engender the 46.9 rating.
Look a 3rd time? That was an easy PI call.
Wow! I just watched it 3 times on NFL+. It was at the 5.08 mark for those of you with a recording. Wilson put his left hand on Mclaurin’s shoulder to prevent him from jumping then literally hopped on Mclaurin’s back. Q, you must have the wrong replay.
Agreed. It was one of the easiest PI calls you could ask for. Now if you want to talk about the Jalen Thompson helmet hit, there is a lot more ambiguity there.
The majority of the NFL subscribes because of their game charting data, not their phony baloney grades.
I expect these grades will be much better against the Giants. Wilkinson is definitely the weak spot. They all had a few screw ups but I see Paris becoming a good tackle this year. Humphries played better in pass pro than that score indicates. Hernandez earned that 75.9 grade. I seen him get beat a couple times. This line will need half the season to really get some cohesiveness. Should have kept Josh Jones and put him at LG. Beachum would be my pick now at LG. I just don’t see Wilkerson getting much better.
That jibes with the eye test, and I generally don’t like these grades for reasons previously detailed.
