PFS Grading
Offensive Lineman:
Team Run Blocking – Did the offensive lineman get the job done or not? Every wonder why a team finds value in an offensive lineman when fans might think there is none? These grades are good for understanding value for a team and not necessarily for comparing across teams. Many times fans witness an offensive lineman getting beat off the line of scrimmage…and the fan thinks, that lineman got beat. Which may be true. But did that lineman recover and ultimately do his job? Team blocking scores reflect the end result. A game in the mid 80% to 90% is a decent score.
Power Blocking – This score tells the fan how good the lineman is compared to his peers and the defenders he faces each week. How often did the offensive lineman dominate the block or how often did he get dominated? These scores are good for comparing across teams and finding the most dominant lineman in the league. Anything over zero is a good score. The more over zero the more the lineman dominated the defender. Each lineman is scored a minus for being dominated, a zero for a draw, or a plus for dominating the defender.
Second Level Blocks – The number of success over failures for the lineman when blocking linebackers and safeties on the second level. The lineman must be athletic to accomplish a high second level score.
Pressures – How often did the offensive lineman give up pressure on the quarterback? Every once and a while a lineman can do his job but give up pressure on the QB. This stat will help glean more info from the line grades.
Combo Help – How often did the offensive coordinator provide help for a tough defender or a struggling lineman. Yea, two lineman ended up with the same grade…but how much help did either of them get?
# of Drivens – How many times did the offensive lineman get bull rushed and driven back into the backfield?
