Sorry but those grades are total horsecrap. The line gave up ONE sack and hits and pressures were not crazy either. Carman and Adeniji overall did their jobs but these kooky ratings make it look like they gave up sacks every snap. Consider PFF rated this line as a unit on pass blocking 15 point higher in the Titans game (9 sacks), where Adeniji gave up 5 sacks but got a 21.2 pass block rating.
I've always taken pff with a grain of salt and trust my own eyes first always.
They're huge now so I guess they can afford the man power to at least get eyeballs on, as they say "every play every player every game"...but do they really??
Cuz if you think about it logistically....how can they do what they claim AND get their ratings out so fast?
Plus unless you're on the coaching staff there's bound to be numerous times that players do things that to a civilian looks like they screwed up but really it was the missed assignment of a teammate that left them hanging.
Pff can be a nice reference to have in your analytical tool box but it is not the be all end all....not even close.
Being a Bengals fan is like being in love with a narcissist. It's a brutal, emotionally abusive relationship but I never leave and just keep making excuses for them.
