PFF Evals from Preseaon Game 1

[LeveeBreak]

I know PFF isn't perfect, but I think these evals seem legit.

Devin Bush posts highest PFF grade for Seahawks in Preseason Week 1

Here are the best and worst performers on both sides of the ball this week according to PFF.

Good to see that Koback and Thompson are putting up some good tape. That is a very good problem to have.

Hm...I thought Lock played much better than that grade indicates. I wonder how they came up with that number. I mean a 104.7 passer rating is a good score.

I would take it with a grain of salt. Lock's PFF numbers don't meet the eye test. The lowest rated QB by PFF last year was Zach Wilson and he was at 46.6. They're asking us to believe that Lock played worse than that? And worse than Holton Ahlers? The PFF metrics don't always result in an accurate measure of performance. And it also depends on who's doing the grading.

Stone graded well which I didn't expect after reading the thread about how bad he apparently was.

So PFFs score has a significant subjective component.

 

[CPHawk]

Glad I wasn’t the only one not impressed with Coby. All the talk has been how great he looked, I saw a guy not able to cover real well.

 

[Mick063]

Lock was terrific. Coby Bryant is learning a new position.

Such a small sample size is deceiving. The representative sample includes the coaches watching practice every day and then reviewing video of the practice every night.

 

[toffee]

Anthony Bradford graded really bad, Stone graded quite well. Who the heck is Liam Ryan? He played well apparently.

 

[Appyhawk]

Mafe's 84+ on run defense is looking pretty promising to me.

 

[knownone]

The Stone Forsythe Civil War continues.

 

[Appyhawk]

At least Forsythe has people talking about him. That's a step up.

 

[fenderbender123]

PFF grades continue to baffle

 

[jammerhawk]

I must say I don't agree with all of these grades.

I thought Coby Bryant played quite well as a S given the reality of lack of CB support.

 

[Scout]

The Stone Forsythe Civil War continues.

I never really viewed it that way.

Forsythe had tools coming out of college but he needs coaching. That is why being in Seattle is perfect because PC prefers to take his time coaching up players and gives them time to grow.

ILB- Jordan Brooks passes his physical and is taken off PUP.
