Steelers Vs. Eagles Week 15: PFF Grades And Complete Snaps

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been lower than the tall process towards the 12-2 Philadelphia Eagles, falling to 10-4. Horrible offense, together with a horrid two yards of predictability within the first quarter. They couldn’t capitalize on a splash from protection and particular groups. The Eagles potent offense stayed on schedule and dominated the clock, particularly the second half (10:29 straight to finish the sport)—barf bucket.

On this article, I’ll present knowledge from Professional Soccer Focus (PFF) and takeaways from watching the movie.

Offense:

Wonderful (90-Plus Grades):

NONE.

Nice (80-Plus Grades):

NONE.

Good (70-Plus Grades):

Two gamers. The very best grade on offense was RB Cordarrelle Patterson (73.8 grade, 6 snaps). He had two runs for 9 yards (4.5 common) with a pleasant churn on his lengthy of 5 for a primary down. Conservative swing go on 2nd and 21 for a lack of one early fourth quarter, the place it felt that Pittsburgh had given up. The grade felt too excessive and factors to simply how tough an outing it was for the offense. 72.2 RUN grade led the staff. 60.7 REC.

WR Ben Skowronek (72.6, 10) had a pleasant 17-yard catch off a pretend toss on a shallow crosser with yards after catch down the sideline. This got here at 9:07 within the second quarter and was the primary chain-moving play for Pittsburgh’s offense. 71.6 REC led the staff. He had moments, however not his finest day as a blocker: 65.6 PBLK, 60.2 RBLK.

The Dangerous (Under 50 Grades):

There are simply two right here, surprisingly. WR Scotty Miller (43.6, 10) had no catches on one goal, initially a completion, however was unable to safe the cease route thrown a bit outdoors on a diving effort that was overturned. 45.7 REC. 60.6 RBLK.

RB Najee Harris (37.8, 14) was the bottom grade on offense, expectedly. It was a gut-wrenching fumble turnover within the third quarter, infuriatingly taking his eyes off the toss. Pittsburgh was down 20-13, lastly with momentum. The giveaway led to an ensuing Philly TD drive. Six rushes for 14 yards (2.3 common), lengthy of seven, and one catch for seven yards. Shut down. 67.1 PBLK, 59.7 PBLK, 37.8 RUN. The latter is useless final of RBs Week 15 (pre–Monday Evening Soccer).

Protection:

Wonderful (90-Plus Grades):

NONE.

Nice (80-Plus Grades):

Good (70-Plus Grades):

Three right here. CB Beanie Bishop Jr. (73.3, 24). He had some good moments however a greater grade than anticipated. Up and down protection, missing consciousness on one, and a horrible angle on a 16-yard chunk play, certainly one of many the Eagles diced the protection up on. The spotlight by far was recovering the Watt compelled fumble, with good pursuit and decisiveness. Two tackles (one cease, 73.9 TACK), 73.6 COV, 61.8 RDEF, 60.0 PRSH (one snap).

EDGE Alex Highsmith (72.4, 50) additionally made some noise with eight complete tackles and 4 pressures have been second on the staff. Seven stops and two TFLs (first). Simply earlier than halftime, twisted inside corralling the scramble for the protection sack. Watt and Highsmith accounted for the staff’s three sacks towards high quality tackles. 77.8 TACK, 69.5 RDEF, 64.5 PRUSH (appeared a bit low), 63.4 COV (three reps).

S Damontae Kazee (70.0, 64) simply made the minimize. Primarily deep alignment, normally Minkah Fitzpatrick’s area, who roamed round extra with DeShon Elliott out. Large loss. It was a greater first half for Kazee, however he was on cleanup obligation too typically because of missed tackles. Responsible of the latter second half, lacking on a QB scramble that went for an explosive 23 yards. Hair-pulling difficulty for Pittsburgh’s protection. Eight complete tackles (T-second), however just one cease – 2nd and objective assisted run deal with (PFF didn’t credit score him). 67.8 COV, 67.5 TACK, 63.1 RDEF.

The Dangerous (Under 50 Grades):

One participant, LB Payton Wilson (49.3, 30). You guessed it, a wrongdoer within the missed deal with division with two: an early third down scramble conversion and a late sport dump-off go (29.7 TACK). He had 5 complete tackles however just one cease. Different positives have been a go breakup on third and 18 in the long run zone and a late-game bat. 62.4 RDEF, 49.2 COV. He was inexcusable tackling, however I believed his 55.2 PRUSH was too low (2 pressures/ 3 snaps).

Particular Groups:

Wonderful (90-Plus Grades):

Mark Robinson (91.9, 16) was the very best grade on particular groups and total. Had an enormous hit compelled fumble turnover on a punt return deal with. It was an enormous splash play, however the offense couldn’t punch it in from nice area place, getting simply three factors.

Nice (80-Plus Grades):

Two right here. Payton Wilson (82.6, 16) Offered good kick return blocking early and famous a pleasant kick protection rep. He had two assisted particular groups tackles, main the staff, but additionally missed a deal with on kick return, for 3 complete within the sport—a better grade than anticipated.

James Pierre (81.3, 19) performed properly as a gunner per common, together with a two-yard punt return through which he restricted it by pinning him to the sideline. He additionally misplaced gunner reps, although.

Good (70-Plus Grades):

Jaylen Warren (73.8, 6) got here out on a mission, laying the wooden blocking on kick returns. He pancaked males on the primary two, toting the road of a reducing the helmet hit that can be fascinating to see if he’s fined for.

The Dangerous (Under 50 Grades):

Two gamers. Nick Herbig (37.1, 14) joined the undesirable membership with two missed tackles on kick and punt return models. He recovered the Robinson compelled fumble (after lacking a deal with), certainly one of two first-quarter turnovers that ought to have had Pittsburgh up early. That takeaway ought to have had him out of the dangerous tier.

The bottom grade on particular groups and total was Montravius Adams (29.4, 2). He was dinged for a roughing the lengthy snapper penalty, a controversial name as he was blocked into him on a 4th and a pair of area objective strive. As an alternative, there was a contemporary set of downs to the crimson zone, ending in three factors. Whereas the loss was positively on Pittsburgh’s shoulders, it was certainly one of a number of calls that felt conspired towards the Steelers.

Surprises:

OFF – Patterson’s highest 73.8 grade. Additionally, there are solely two within the dangerous tier—a number of candidates.

DEF – CB Donte Jackson is just not within the dangerous tier (51.9, 24). He allowed a five-yard TD to Eagle A.J. Brown, missed two tackles, together with a piece catch the place the RB made him look foolish with a spin, and most of his three tackles have been of the cleanup selection on huge performs. He was additionally injured, so it is going to be fascinating to observe him.

ST – Miles Killebrew decrease than anticipated (69.9). Two kick return tackles tied for the staff lead and included an enormous hit (assisted two-yard return). A number of plus punt protection and kick return blocking reps, too.
