Week 5 PFF

While I don't subscribe to Pro Football Focus, I do appreciate their insights. Maybe it's confirmation bias. Anyway, here's a link to their breakdown of Week 5.

Week 5 Re-Focused

What I got from this is something that I think everyone has seen. The offensive tackles are abysmal, and Kolb is not doing much. Go back into the archives to see that this has been a consistent issue.

What is nice though, is that AJ Jefferson had a solid game and is turning into a good player. This bodes well for the future if Peterson can improve and Toler coming back next year.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Revenge of the Birds' (ROTB) editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of ROTB's editors.

Thanks for the link

I do read them. It does sound like a broken record.

Like the Cardinals? Revenge of the Birds is where to go.
Like Arizona Sports in general? SB Nation Arizona is where you'll get it all.

I do not understand how people in the ROTB community are saying that

Levi, Bridges and Keith are average OT’s. they are brutal in pass protection. 4 sacks! 1 hit and 8 pressures. that is unacceptable play at the LT position. But lets judge them based on how they play, not where they were drafted. But Grimm is a still a genius for taking a bunch of late round picks and making an okay line. (sarcasm, just so we are clear). Such inconsistent logic and a refusal to look at the stats. Our tackles cannot consistently win 1 on 1 with any DE’s in the league. Levi brown got beat 70 times last year. If every linemen played like that we would have 350 pressures a year. well threw the ball 561 times last year. meaning that if all of our linemen played like levi, 62.4% of our passes would be under pressure. WOW! but ya, if you take out of the equation the fact that Levi was drafted 5th overall in 07, he is a solid tackle. right? That fact that he was such a high pick only compounds the problem. If we have the 1rst overall pick next year, it better be luck or a kings ransom of draft picks, anything else better be used on the Oline.

by people you mean person?

Only one person on ROTB is saying all that noise. Our tackles stink. Period.
