Ogunjobi is a guy who tries to split gaps a lot. He puts more consistent pressure on the QB and gives you more penetration.  But as a result, he also winds up in the wrong spot in the run game a lot. I think PFF sees that. 

Whereas Hill kind of holds his ground first and then moves. He is rarely getting moved (higher grade) but also getting less penetration.

Based on what I see Fred, same with lots of posters and PFF even if I don't put much stock in PFF.

This is based off more than your just don't want to hear it stance...

As to the signing:

It's not difficult to figure out why BJ's run grades would be higher than Larry's. 

BJ's tackle per snap rate was 10% and missed tackle rate was 2%.
Larry's tackle per snap rate was 6.8% and missed tackle rate was 15.5%.

Overall, they've been a very good duo this year, and hopefully they can figure out a way to bring both back.
