This is actually a good idea. I went ahead and plotted it out with a trendline included in the graph. I removed week one from the graph because of how atrocious it was, but the rolling averages after each week include week one. It just isn't plotted.
Pressure percentage, Volson flirted with being an average NFL G but finished below average after a tough final week.
Pretty much the same story for sack percentage.
According to PFF grades, Volson didn't really improve much in run blocking as the season went on. He had a tough dip at the start of the season, rebounded towards the middle and was essentially a league average run blocker for the rest of the season.
What I don't get is that Volson actually graded worse at LG his rookie season than Carman did at RG his rookie season. Lots of people wrote off Carman as a bust after his rookie year, while many consider Volson a quality starter.
I expected Volson to struggle as a rookie, as he was a small school prospect that was a Day 3 pick. It's reasonable to expect him to show some improvement this year, but I don't see how anyone can say he did enough last year to not be in a TC battle for the starting job this year when we're looking at a 4 way battle at RT. I would rather have a 3 way battle at RT and someone challenging Volson at LG.
