3. I don't know if I think that Haeg or Boehm is better as the OC. PFF graded Boehm on 12 snaps against the Titans with an "average NFL starter" grade. Since OC is out of position for Haeg, I don't know if that is better than what Haeg could deliver. BTW, PFF has Kelly as the 8th best graded OC this season.

4. PFF is also currently grade our OGs as the 8th best (Glowinski) and 12th best (Nelson) this season. And we have three OTs in the top 35 rated: Smith (27th), Castonzo (29th), and Clark (35th).

(NOTE: I know many of you don't like PFF scores and that is fine; I find them to be pretty accurate to my "eye" test and a lot of the former players / current commentators agree with them as well. I will continue to use them to backup my points. I don't want this to devolve into a "PFF sucks" fest so if you don't like the scoring, just move on.)

5. Losing Kelly is a big loss and while we will be "fine" for a game or three if needed, I hope he gets healthy quickly.

Walk Worthy,

I think their grading is too hard and they don’t always know responsibilities even though they BS they do. A complex deceptive offense like ours isn’t always clear. A play can devolve for a number of reasons, maybe a guy is covering for another guy bc he fucked up. The oline is such an interdependent unit, it’s not like a CB or WR you are evaluating. Although WRresponsibilities and reactions can get pretty complex. I know lots of guys do reference them now, I hear them talk about on NFL radio, but I still don’t trust them. For example Hernandez of the Giants is highly rated, but he sucks at picking up stunts and moving laterally, does it show up in the score? Nope. I’ve seen him mess up several times. Something is off there.
