I agree (at least somewhat) with Pollack on his statement about people focusing on the splash plays for both OL and defense.
An OL could play great but allow a sack or two and people think they are horrible.
That's why I give the benefit of the doubt to grading sites like PFF.
They are taking the time watching every single snap (even if they do occasionally get assignments wrong).
I haven't watched back all the tape, but I would bet that's why we see Jonah Williams with a PFF pass block grade of 66.0 but Cordell Volson with a PB grade of 23.5 despite having about the same number of sacks and pressures allowed (Jonah - 2 sacks, 12 pressures; Volson - 3 sacks, 15 pressures).
Jonah has always had a lot of good reps that go largely unnoticed.
