I'm surprised Mims graded that high, he got beat a lot it seems. (not criticizing, he is a rookie and I suspect will be great) It just seems like I remember seeing a lot of pressure coming off the right side.

Brian Burns has it made with Dexter Lawrence. Teams HAVE to slide the center to Dex every snap which creates 1 on 1s on the backside for Brian Burns. Both guards struggled passing off the 1 on 1 stunts.


Side Note: McKinnley Jackson looked promising speed to power and was able to shed blocks. A DL with a non-stop motor is always welcome.

Jenkins and Jackson both have looked like they belong. This is important as our past issue has been lack of good rotation - the players behind the starters were not good.

I'm really happy that they changed Jackson's number to 93. #68 was an ugly number for a DT haha. I am much happier to see a 93 terrorizing QBs again :)

Yes, big man needs a big number.

Agreed, but Mahomes would've gotten the call.

Interesting to see Battles grade after finally getting some playing time. Hopefully this warrants more.

Volson has a 56.9 pass block rating this year. The Chiefs game absolutely crushed his PFF rating. He had an awful game against Chris Jones and scored an 11. Other than that game hes been absolutely fine.

Other than stepping on our qb constantly, sure

Yeah PFF does stuff like that. Then they also have favorites - Mims got punked several times Monday night but they were lenient in his score. Its part of why PFF scores are unreliable - no consistency across players and teams.

Some of their ratings puzzle me and are difficult to rationalize. One thing that does seem to be consistent is that they hit OL hard for penalties.

Their OL rankings have left me scratching my head several times....

or perhaps he was better overall than volson? youre implying they have a personal bias against volson, and they favor mims because...

Hasn't he been out most of the year with a pec injury?

You act like that doesn't happen with pretty much every offensive lineman in the league. It's football.

I actually think their lineman ratings are some of the best that they do tbh.

it's a pattern with volson now

Does stuff like what? He graded at an 11 because he had an awful game. We all saw it. 

You legit think that PFF has some kind of bias towards certain players? I kind of find that hard to believe.
