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.
The problem with this view is it isn't how PFF looks at it. They aren't just grading good play/bad play. They are grading good play/bad play for an individual player. You have to care what the assignment was. If the Bengals call a naked bootleg and Jonah lets the EMLOS run free and he sacks Burrow, is that a bad play by Jonah?
No. That was what he was supposed to do. That's how the play is drawn up. He did his job and the other player made a great play. He shouldn't get dinged for that.
