theProf Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 The player grade that I would disagree with the most is the 47.4 grade for Kendall Sheffield. It appeared to me that Sheffield played a good bit better than his indicated PFF grade.

PFF grades for DB's put a lot of weight on missed tackles and penalties so it's possible Sheffield could be graded much higher in coverage than this would indicate but is getting dragged down for some other reason.

Jpg428gggg Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I am good with the rankings minus Sheffield. I didn't think he was that bad. He must have been dinged a lot for support in the running game and tackling. Ergo Proxy and Drunken Minotaur Zebra 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jidady Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Presuming that we re-sign Hooper, we should look into running more twins sets with Jaeden Graham. With Ridley, Julio, and those two, we can pass from that formation, but it would also help us block more in the running game.

Especially when I’m trying to understand what you’re saying so I can get the picture. If I’m reading this right you’re saying 2 TE sets with Julio and Ridley out wide? Or are you saying 2 TE sets with Julio and Ridley twins to one side. Cause when you say twins it automatically makes me think twin wr’s to one side.

Atlantafan21 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Wreh-Wilson over a 60 rating is pretty dang good considering he’s our 4th CB. He allowed a few plays, but for the most part he was strong to end the year. Have liked him here as a depth guy ever since we signed, hopefully we can keep him around.

Two WR/two TE sets with Julio and Ridley split out wide on both sides, sorry. I mean, we could put them on one side occasionally to mix things up, but that's just a wrinkle. It's like those old school Indy offenses with Marcus Pollard and Dallas Clark. When you've got two TEs who can catch and block, you should keep them both on the field, especially when you can't get push in the running game otherwise.

We passed from 2 tight end / 2 WR sets only 12% of the time this year, rushed only 21%. Even though 1-2 personnel gave us the best success rate running the ball and second best passing, they weren’t used near enough.

I liked what I saw from Jaeden Graham this season; it appears that he has some good potential. Mixing in some two Tight End sets, especially with two TEs who can catch the ball, should help the Falcons offensive diversity going forward.

Ergo Proxy Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Most of the grades make sense. The hope is Kaleb rebounds after a rough “thrown in the fire” trying to pass block 70% of the time; and for a long time at that, with drops back a lot Koetter. At his worst, Kaleb is serviceable. Get a run game, better play designs, and Kaleb himself improving? Not worried. Seen his guards pre-Lindstrom? Notes: Prioritize Hooper. LOL @ keeping Vondre Beasley is a pass rush specialist; that’s it. Don’t pay him $10M+ like UFA gonna push him to. Pay Hoop and draft front 7. Tough cuts looming but hopefully no surprises.

I wish that Zac had been given a lot more of the WR snaps that went to Blake. I also would have like to seen more offensive snaps from Gono at OG. I know Gono played some at Right OG, but I don't think he got any snaps at Left OG. I would have rather seen what Gono could have done at Left OG, rather than Schweitzer, down the stretch.

Technically, Senat did get a 2019 grade of 57.8 from PFF. However since Senat only had a total of 20 defensive snaps for all of 2019, I chose not to include him in the player listing and grades in the OP. For the 2018 season, Senat had 371 defensive snaps (34% of the total defensive snaps) and had a very respectful PFF grade of 71.1 for his rookie year. Atlanta did sign NT Tyeler Davison for the 2019 season, which cut into Senat's snaps. However, I wouldn't have thought that Davison's signing would have virtually eliminated all of Senat's playing time. VTCrunkler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that average PFF grades are available off the general internet. If one had a paid premium PFF subscription, which I do not, that type of information might be available. It would be good to know the overall average PFF grade, as well as, PFF average grades for each NFL position. Malachore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
