Deciding who won and who lost in OL-DL matchups without a nuanced understanding of the little things being coached on both sides and how a coherent group scheme emerges holistically from the individual matchups -- it tends to result in haywire grades.
Nonetheless, they make an admirable effort. It's certainly better than deciding who the best OL in the league are with the more common criteria:
1) Have I heard this player's name before?
2) Did the running back in this offense gain 1,000 yards?
3) Is their girlfriend hot?
I don't know if it really matters necessarily what the player was assigned to do on a given play.
If that player does what they were expected to do but still got beat or there was a bad result, that's still a bad snap in my eyes.
Too bad PFF doesn't rate play callers lol.
