In all reality, you can normally figure this stuff out. If you know your variations of coverages, you can figure out roles but there is still a lot of nuance that makes it very difficult. The people doing these grades aren't experts, though. They are part time analysts making low wages. If they watch a play and don't know what happened, they just give it a zero and move on. 

You could arrive at a similar conclusion for players just by posting a thread on Reddit (or here, if it is a Bengals player). 

I dunno.

If I see my QB get sacked because the OL failed blocking the guy, I don't really care what the assignment was. It still resulted in my QB getting sacked, and thus is a negative play.

I realize you can't ding the caller, but still.
