Tee Higgins- 69.5  Thought Tee looked really good
Joe Burrow- 69.4  At least no INTs.  
Ted Karras- 68.4  Above average
Alex Kappa- 67.8  Above average  
Cordell Volson- 66.8  If you are looking for something positive, this guy is it.  While run blocking was just a 55.4, Volson had an elite 87.6 pass blocking rating on 46 pass blocking snaps.  We have all questioned the run game schematic, but this is very encouraging.  

Bottom 5 on offense:

Hayden Hurst- 56.9 Overall grade pulled down by a pathetic 19.5 on pass blocking.  He only had 3 pass blocking snaps, so take that with a grain of salt.  Hey, opposing defenses, Hurst will hardly ever be a blocker if in the game.  Just FYI.  
Samaje Perine- 56.6  Meh
Drew Sample- 54.8  Double Meh
D'Ante Smith- 48.2  Only 6 snaps at LT.  Was Williams injured or something?  Willing to give Smith a bit of a pass, going back and forth from guard to tackle and has just come back from injury, but he sure didn't help when he came in the game.  
Jonah Williams- 45.2  First round pick and 11th overall.  Puke.  

Top 5 on defense:

DJ Reader- 88.1  Absolute beast and the best player on our defense as of right now.
Sam Hubbard- 75.1  Might be the most improved player on defense so far
Joseph Ossai- 72.1  Only played 8 snaps
Von Bell- 71.6 Steady Eddie
Mike Hilton- 71.5  Nearly wrecked the Cowboys himself with two near INTs.  So close...

Bottom 5 on defense:

Eli Apple  36.3  Everyone's favorite whipping boy returned and got torched by nobodys.  
Zach Carter- 34.9 Only 12 snaps, but I guess it shows the preseason doesn't mean anything and Martin is a stud.  
Trae Flowers- 34.7  Only 10 snaps and a costly penalty
BJ Hill- 33.2  Was it Zack Martin shutting him down?  Geez.  
ADG- 32.3  Only 9 snaps, but turd soup

Others:

Trey Hendrickson-  55.6  Not sure who he was going against but was pretty much a non-factor.  Shows that when the pass rush doesn't get home, the secondary is in trouble.  
Jesse Bates-  48.2  How is that deal looking now, Jessie's agent?  
Chris Evans- 56.4...on his ONE snap.  WTF.  
Ja'Marr Chase-  65.2  Had a couple drops.
La'El Collins-  64.8 with an astounding 95.1 run blocking grade on 23 snaps.  Here's a thought:  Chris Evans can get outside.  La'El Collins can block outside.  Hmmmm.

Seems like the coaches really like him and while we're at it,, can we just bench Bates already and give Hill the assignment? I can live with mistakes by a rookie, not so much by loud mouthed or elite players who want top dollar.

Ossai has only played 17 snaps through 2 games.
