DL TJ Slaton
PFF grade: 43.0
Rank among defensive linemen: 130/145
Slaton led all defensive linemen in ESPN's run stop win rate, suggesting a dominant season against the run, and the Packers effectiveness stopping the run with Slaton on the field backs up ESPN's claim. But PFF did not agree. Slaton finished with one of the worst run defense grades at the position, and a 13.5 missed tackle rate meant a poor tackle grade. Slaton finished with only one sack and two quarterback hits, highlighting his limitations as a pass-rusher. But PFF's overall grade for Slaton doesn't seem to match up with his specific value as a run stopper and block eater.
My commentary - 'In run stop win rate, a defender can earn a win by doing any of the following: beating his blocker so he's in better position to stop the runner; disrupting the pocket or running lane by pushing his blocker backward; containing the runner such that he must adjust his running lane; or recording a tackle within 3 yards of the line of scrimmage. If a defender earns a run stop win, his blocker earns a loss -- and vice versa.'
So it doesn't necessarily mean you made the tackle and stopped the run. It just meant you were in position to. Or you pushed your blocker back.
