OL get assessed on technique, footwork, etc.
An OL can do something poor and get reflected on that even if a defender didn't get a pressure.
With that said, they don't state exactly what resulted in a good/poor grade. For example, they don't say, "Well, Volson only got a 34 this game because while he only allowed 2 pressures, he routinely exhibited poor hands and footwork."
Well that's stupid as well. As long as a lineman is keeping Joe clean, do I really care how fancy his footwork is or where he places his hands? I do not!!! He has one job, keep tge dline off Burrow. If he does that I don't care about the rest. (And we know he can run block)
