Weak Links (According to PFF Ratings)

[Luvnit2]

Defense
DT next to Atkins - Glasgow 57.0 or Poor, Billings 61.5 or Below Average, Sims 60.8 or Below Average.
LB Nick Vigil - Rated 47.6 or Poor.
CB Adam Jones - Rated 67.1 or Below Average.
CB Dre Kirkpatrick - Rated 47.6 or Poor.

So we essentially have 3 positions on defense where we start guys rated Poor. 2 of which rank REALLY BAD. (Kirkpatrick is the #86 ranked CB. Vigil is the #54 ranked LB.)

Offense
Tackle - Andre Smith - Rated 49.3 which is Poor, Jake Fisher - Rated 42.6 which is Poor (60th ranked Tackle), Cedric Ogbuehi - Rated 40.6 or the #62 ranked Tackle.
Guard - TJ Johnson - Rated 44.3 or the #51 ranked Guard. Hopkins rating is 35.0 from when he played which is Terrible.
Center - Bodine - Rated 43.3 or the #29 ranked Center.
WR2 - LaFell - Rated 44.1 or the #98 ranked WR.

On Offense we have 5 players ranked among the worst in the league at their position.

So out of 22 starting positions on the team, we have 8 ranked near the absolute worst in the league. We can change coordinators and get a boost from that...but to talk playoffs, we need some of these guys to atleast improve towards becoming average players.

#1 - Why do you think PFF rankings are 100% accurate? You seem to insinuate these rankings are the only site that should be used to rank players.

#2 - Absolute worst at their positions? Are all 5 ranked offensive players dead last or are you embellishing again to make a point?

#3 - We have a top 2 defense by every standard so far, so hard to understand how this many of the defenders are so bad?

It would be helpful for those of us who don't have access to PFF if you gave us the ranking + the number of guys ranked.

I am not saying PFF is total BS, but it is one ranking site ranking based on having no clue of the responsibility of a player on every given play and why ML and others like Zimmer has said their rankings are not close to PFF, they have their owns systems which of course we are not privy to that info.
