#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.
You misinterpreted a lot of what I wrote. I'll respond none-the-less.
1) No ratings are ever 100%. But I think these are fairly accurate? Do you dispute that the offensive line is bad? Well what do you know...our offensive line guys rate Poorly.
2) I said 'ranked among the worst'. I didn't say absolute worst. They're rated Poor and for instance Bodine is the #29 ranked Center. Lafell the #98 ranked WR. Fisher and Ced the #58 and #60 ranked Tackles.
Our #2 WR has 97 Wide-receivers rated better than him!
3) The defense overall? I'm sure every team has a guy or 2 rated poorly somewhere. Plus, our defensive line has dominant guys in Atkins and Dunlap. That covers up for guys like Billings/Sims/Glasgow. Same thing at LB. Burfict and Minter rank highly while Vigil ranks poorly. In the secondary, Kirkpatrick ranks bad, but Dennard and Jackson rank good.
It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Every guy on our defense doesn't have to be great.
Plus, you seem to be big on the rankings are subjective. Our ranking of #2 defense in the league based on yardage is subjective too. Play style factors in. How our offense plays. For instance, if we got huge leads teams would pass more which tends to equate to more yards.
There's nothing about football that is absolute. I get positive feedback from a lot of people when I post these for dialogue. And it is fairly time consuming to research these.
