PFF grades the worst performances in the NFL this week

The Sky is Falling ......... the sky is falling

LOL

This is hilarious. This guy hears a stat that out of 150 OL's on the field this week, 3 of the 5 of our OL are in the bottom 10 and he is just fine with it. Ridiculous. Is the sky falling? no, but obviously we have a serious issue that has hurt out 20+ million dollar quarterback, is seriously hurting our running game and making our expensive star receivers useless.

I fully understand the reasons we have to have bottom barrel guys for OL as we have decided to spend our cap in other areas. There is no easy fix to this without taking away from another area of the team. Draft and develop or pick up reject FA and UDFA and develop is our only choice. You are going to have to keep guys in rotation as far as development as well as we can't afford to pay guys once they do develop into good OL players. We had to start over from last year as taking athletes from other positions and trying to train them as OL didn't work out. By next year we should see an improvement, and if they stick with a development system, really year 3 and 4 are when you start seeing real results.

But to discredit the horribly bad stat mentioned is ignorant at best.

Speaking of ignorant, my post was in response to .....

"Oh man thats terrible, they need staley or thomas like NOW. I dont care what draft pick they give up. Give up 2 if you have to."

Your false and misplaced assumption is your undoing.

And how would we know you were responding to a particular part of a particular post? Even then, The basis of the thread is that 3 of our 5 offensive lineman were in the bottom 10 OF THE ENTIRE LEAGUE! If this is not alarming to you, I am at a loss for words. As someone else stated, this is not just offensive lineman, but every player in the NFL that played. Wow, that is some poor execution.

I fully stand by my statement. My statement was neither false or mispalced based on your post. If you want to respond to specifics, there is a quote feature. I just took your statement exactly as you typed and posted it. We can't read minds.

LOL ...... I can only suggest you become acquainted with chronological order. No mind reading required. :roll:

ifedi was supposed to be great :shock:

Relative to the rest of the line bar Britt! (SERIOUSLY BRITT!) he is great. As a day one starter only sabotaged by injury and his fiery temper.

PFF can suck the sweat off my incredibly substantial post brexit hairy English testicles.

Blaming Cable is unfair as he is tasked with the nearly impossible.

Look at the resources he is given: rock bottom OL spending. We are of course dead last in the league in OL spending (and by a wide margin) and it shows.

We also miss out on any potential continuity as we let our OL vets walk.

I know many people will disagree with me, but paying Baldwin what he's making is a mistake. He is not an $11.5M receiver, especially in our system. Or if you want to pay Baldwin that kind of money you can't pay Kearse $4.5M.

Totally agree on the OL, totally disagree on Baldwin...people always want to point the finger and Cable and say he sucks. The guy has bottom feeders and people expect a top of the league line, but even in light of this we still won a SB, lost a SB and have made the playoffs every year since he's been here with one of the leagues best rushing attacks. Not bad for a guy given almost nothing to work with.

As for Baldwin, the guy catches everything thrown his way. Is one of the best slots in the game and has been money in many, many, many key situations. He is a 11.5M a year receiver.

And three Seahawks offensive linemen are in the top (or bottom, depending on how you look at it) 10.

They ranked as follows:

2. Bradley Sowell
3. Garry Gilliam
9. Germain Ifedi

And they said George Fant would have been here as well if he had enough snaps. This is for the entire league. I guess this is just further validation of what we all saw with our eyes last night.

Frankly I continue to wonder about Cable's ability to construct an offensive line. I don't want to ignore the fact that we have done well, statistically, running the ball in past years. It appears to me that a lot of that may have been due to Russ Wilson's mobility, which is now absent.

At least Justin Britt still appears to me to be a success story.

I think Sowell could have nailed down that top spot if he hadn't been hurt ukeface:

PFF grades are for stat obsessed retards. It's like NFL watchers care that much about stats they have to literally make them up to keep the circle jerk of stupidity going.

Shame on you if you buy into this utter bollocks.

 

[Grahamhawker]

If someone would just teach these guys to hold ala Green Bay's OL (without extending while doing it), I think we'd all be more pleased with their progress.

 

[iigakusei]

I find this surprising, I didn't think they played that bad.

Baldwin is the lone bright spot at WR this year. Lockett is still not back close to 100%, Kearse is absent, Richardson is absent, McEvoy is absent. I mean honestly, I get the pleading for shoring up the OL at the expense of WRs but our WRs outside of Baldwin? Not that good right now.

when our season ends, whenever it does, people will look back at that 11.5 million dollar # baldwin is making and say he was worth that and more. He's just gotten lost a little in the wash of trying to get graham to be the focal point. he's also being shadowed by the opponents #1. He'll adjust
