Well somebody took the time to look at each of those plays and watched only what Crockett was doing on each one, and gave him a grade on his performance. Then another person that was also fixated on Crockett, watched all of his plays and gave him a grade. They then came together, looked at each others notes and gave him the final grade for the game. It doesn't mean Crockett is a bad player, it just means that for those seven plays where he was on the field (mostly were blocking plays) he made more mistakes than he had positive plays. But i see what you are saying. When you have such a small sample size it is difficult to pass judgement on a player based solely on a handful of plays. I mean if he finished the game, the grade would be totally different (probably in the plus category) because it would be taking into consideration a larger amount of plays. I wouldn't discount PFF as a tool to measure a players success though. Really the best barometer of a players success is given at the end of the year. This number totals up all of the game grades and gives the player a grade for the season. The larger sample size and all of the data that is contained in this final number is one of the best ways to evaluate a players success.

Sure but his PFF grade wasn't based soley on that play. It was based on all of the plays (not very many) where he was in the game before he went out. Even the plays where he was just blocking or running decoy routes.

Do you like Hargraves over Ramsey? I think they're both going to be shut down corners and at this point I don't know who iI would pick. Does anyone else have some insight on this?

He didn't get a bad PFF grade because he went out with an injury. He got a bad PFF grade because when he was on the field he didn't do well. "Didn't do well" can be missing a block, or running a bad rout, or even dropping the ball. PFF dedicates two employees to grade every single snap that a player takes in a game. Each snap is graded on a scale from -2 to 2. These numbers are added up after the game, and the total is the PFF grade for that game. Its a pretty good system to evaluate players because every snap is looked at. I didn't do a great job explaining it but this link pretty much sums up everything. https://www.profootballfocus.com/about/how-we-grade/

Yea I can tell. lol. I do however think its a bit premature for the hall of fame talk, i mean he's only been in two nfl games. lmao

i doubt he did this on purpose. a lot of things that test positive for peds are things you could''t imagine your not supposed to take

relax there buddy, i was just saying DB was raw coming out a small school thats all. And that it took some time for him to develop his rout running. no reason to get hostile. i like dan brown .i just think its going to be tough for him to make the team next year. hopefully he will. you can't start saying he's a superstar with only one nil game under his belt. lets be realistic . looks like i touched a nerve, sorry

It really wouldn't have made sense to put him on the active roster day one. The guy came from a lower level college so he probably needed to refine is technique. He really only got brought up because of injuries to other players. I hope he turns into something special but the odds are against him.

I don't know if it make sense to bring in a QB right now. He would barely have anytime to understand the playbook. KO should stay at guard for multiple reasons. His natural position is at guard. This is because he doesn't have the athleticism to block speed rushers off the edge. Right tackle is more feasible, but it really wouldn't make sense to switch him their either. Its also very hard for a player to switch positions in the middle of the season. The casual NFL fan doesn't quite understand this (which is why this keeps getting brought up), but LG foot work is drastically different from LT footwork. Another reason not to move him is because signing him next year will be that much harder if he receives an LT salary.

Its really not Ozzies fault.. It is directly related to our success. Personnel on successful teams get cherry picked by unsuccessful teams.

Not all teams take the best player available. Soo how well did it work for the Raiders when they did NOT take the best player available? Hayward Bey = BUST. They have a history of terrible draft practices. The fact that you would use that as an example is laughable.

Jernigan starts. has he missed a few starts? sure, but not enough to consider him a bust. And Upshaw, you really must not know the Ravens very well. He has started almost every single game since he was drafted. He replaced Jarret Johnson as OLB run stuffer. y

It doesn't work that way. And the fact that you think it does shows just how much you know about the draft. You have to take the best player on the board.

This is truly a ridiculous statement. Oz is one of the best in the game. If he got fired plenty of teams would want to hire him.

i wouldn't say Jernigan or Upshaw are busts. I also think the jury is still out on T brooks.

all of this talk about the NFL conspiring against the Ravens is really a bit much. you can't really believe that

the refs fault again, right? at some point people need to look past the bad calls and realize that this team has had so many chances to win but THEY didn't pull through. you're lying to yourself if you are solely blaming the referees. Aaaaaand let the negging commence. sometimes the truth is too hard to hear.

If this is directed at me which i believe it is. I said PAST not pats. Though to the argument we were debating the PATS stats would also be irrelevant.

You continue to go off on tangents. First you compared Haloti and Brenndans entire career. Now you're talking about giving Williams a contract. The argument is simple and you are trying to make it complicated. Here it is.... Williams is playing better than Haloti this year. It is that simple. We are not comparing careers or talking about contracts. And I will say it again to make sure you get it. What i said was THIS year Williams is playing BETTER than Haloti.

There is a misconception on this forum that Monroe is a poor player. It is not true (everyone likes to whip the whipping boy). If he plays, (i know thats a big if) he has earned a positive PPF grade. He is our bests option at LT because Hurst is one of the worst tackles in the league according to PFF. Its hard to believe that when he does play that the "Monroe Haters" are even watching him play. Who focuses on the left tackle the whole game besides PFF. I think people are just frustrated that he is not playing, so hating on him has become the popular thing to do.

Its tough but you have to look at ALL of the factors objectively, and you will see that they probably deserve to be favored.

Past stats have no relevance. Brandon Williams NOW, is better then Haloti Ngata is NOW.

Why does everyone keep saying, "put Osemele at left tackle". It is a ridiculous idea. His natural position is at guard. He does not have the athletic ability to stick with speed rushers off of the left side. The casual fan may think that its no big deal to switch positions in the middle of the year, but it is very difficult. The footwork is totally different. He is currently playing gaurd where he could be a pro bowl player. To switch him to a position that he has never played in the nfl is laughable. Although I doubt that we will be able to keep him next year, it would make it even tougher to keep him if we had to pay him a LT salary. Can we please put the kibosh on this whole moving to LT thing. It is possible we could play him at RT but it really doesn't make any sense to move him there either. SWITCHING POSITIONS ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE IS NOT SO EASY ask Michael Oher.

the Ravens asked to play Oakland and Sanfran in back to back weeks and the league didn't grant them that.

your post wasn't about the grass field. It was a bout what logos should go where. some people don't agree with you thats all.
