I think that is fair.  With defense and the OL, it is harder to determine whi has what responsibility from the outside.   

But generally, I think they get it right. I mean, Burrow, Higgins, Reader, Mixon, Chase, Awuzie, Hendrickson, Bell, Jonah, & Spain as our best guys sure confirms the eye test. Mine at least. 

Hopkins & Apple much improved after rough starts.  

Surprised Wilson & Ogunjobi are so low.  Thought Hendrickson would be higher, too.

Hendrickson isn’t very good against the run. The only reason he doesn’t grade out higher.

Correct, and the only way you'd get to see that reflected on PFF is to either:
1) Take a snapshot/log every week and record the change
2) Pay for PFF's top tier access to see their week-by-week ratings

I would say more than half a dozen the way Ossai rushes the passer. Dude can take over games.

I was being a tad conservative as you just never know how preseason translates to real games (see Hodge), but something similar to what Lawson had as a rookie (8.5) probably wouldn’t have been too unrealistic.

Yeah and I agree. Still cannot believe Ossai is a Bengal. Thought he would of went around where we took Carman.
