I may be wrong, but do you have a link to explain how they come up with their unit rankings.
The information is provided with the link in the OP. From PFF (talking about O-line metrics used prior to the newest release, which started this week):
'In the past when we have brought you offensive line rankings, they have been based purely on the play-by-play grading of each player on each play over the season. Entering Week 11, however, we are going to focus on things through a slightly different lens.'
They've now changed things up a bit in what metrics they'll use going forward:
'The team of Pro Football Focus analysts has crafted a metric that looks solely at the offensive line using some of the more in-depth and complex data in PFF’s database to come up with a statistical way of evaluating line play, as well as a more subjective grading one.
This PFF O-Line metric assesses the performance of each line in the run game, as well as how well they are pass protecting their QB, all while adjusting for the quality of opponent.'
