When it comes to Pratt, his cumulative grade is greatly affected by his run defense.

On the season:
overall - 49.2 (626 snaps)
run defense - 35.0 (320 snaps)
pass rush - 56.1 (23 snaps)
coverage - 68.4 (283 snaps)


Pratt actually is the best LB in coverage on the team with 50+ snaps.
Other LBs:
Wilson - 63.1 in coverage (54.7 overall)
Bynes - 59.5 in coverage (54.2 overall)
ADG - 52.5 in coverage (47.0 overall)

PFF seems most "lost" on LB grades, as Kyle Van Noy once said:  "They don't know my assignment".  But, the eye test has shown Pratt is coming along nicely.  I wish we would have been going Wilson-Pratt in Nickel now, but Wilson's injury has prevented that.  I am glad they all got some experience this year.  All their scores will improve with improved defensive line play, where the Bengals were one of the worst all season.
