Iosivas did not run block but got a run blocking grade.
Trayveon Williams literally went into the wrong set after the snap and forced Burrow to run back and kneel a play but still gets high marks.
Nick Scott plays so badly they sit him but PFF thinks he was good.
There are more.
Yeah they're really interesting, but I gave up reading too much into the #'s a long time ago. For example, I have yet to hear a coherent explanation for why the same player doing the same job (often with the same success) can see wild score fluctuations from game to game. In some cases it's like there's too much context; in other cases not enough. But I still enjoy reading them to see if they confirm the eye test. And over the course of the season the peaks and valleys tend to even out and provide a good yardstick for quality of play. Plus they can make you sound smart, which always helps.
