rrlbees - how does pff incorporate a play like Hatcher’s catch that was taken off the board due to penalty? I’d assume it’s not counted, but wanted to double check.

I’m not sure how Petry is a division 1 lineman

A starting lineman of a P4 program...

I don’t know but like you I assume it’s not counted.

He isn't consistent and his run blocking is very subpar.

His pass blocking has been generally average

That's the problem

I understand Holy Cross is the best 1-3 FCS team in history but our stars struggling against them enough that it warrants a story really bodes poorly for the season. Especially since many of the weak opponents look better than expected.

Josh Ilaoa had the 6th most snaps at 33 and would have scored 2nd in pass blocking and 3rd in run blocking.

Maybe we start to see some of him if the guards keep struggling.

I think wohlabaugh comes in at right guard. Ilaoa at center if reed is really playing one one leg.

Pass blocking: two "very good", 2 "average" and 1 "fail". It's all on 1 guy?

 

[Chip]

Josh Miller's grade on 5 pass blocking snaps.

When you watch games it is amazing how many guys are running free and then how often our guys are not.

The opposing team’s DB’s are fast/athletic enough to provide tight coverage but SU’s DBs are not?

 

[upperdeck]

Not our games. But you watch like Ole Miss its no wonder Dart throws for so many YPC. guys are 5 yds free.
