Browns' Week 1 PFF Grades (via factoryofsadness.co)
-
EDGE
Genard Avery, 90.3: The second best grade turned in by an EDGE defender, Avery played 44 snaps and trailed only Khalil Mack in grading. Avery was more effective against the pass (90.3) than the run (59.8)
Myles Garrett, 82.3: Myles Garrett turned in the seventh-best grade by an edge defender. Despite having some big sacks of Roethlisberger, Garrett graded out better against the run (90.4), compared to his 75.6 grade against the pass.
Emmanuel Ogbah, 65.2: Emmanuel Ogbah injured his ankle and only played 27 snaps. Durability has been an issue with the third-year player.
Linebackers
Jamie Collins, 72.7: Jamie Collins was Cleveland’s highest rated linebacker, turning in the 18th highest grade for a linebacker in Week 1. This is actually surprising, considering the biggest thing Collins was remembered for was dropping an interception. He actually graded better (72.0) against the run, than against the pass (66.8).
Joe Schobert, 64.6: A big drop-off from Collins to the Browns next rated linebacker. Joe Shobert also rated better against the run (67.5), than against the pass (56.4). Still, Schobert’s score reflects James Conner rushing for 130+ yards. Of course, Schobert, led the team in tackles, with eight.
Christian Kirksey, 28.8: Christian Kirksey rated 72nd, had one of the worst ratings for a linebacker. With a 32.3 grade against the run and 29.6 coverage grade, the Browns’ have got to be worried because these are horrific marks.

Eye opening numbers here, Avery in the positive, Kirksey in the negative. Just what did Kirksey do that was so bad?

I'm guessing it was more of a "what did Kirksey do at all?" situation.

These grades are in line with the overall game that I watched the Browns play. Getting six turnovers and lucky to come away with a tie.

most the time when Pitt. FB Roosevelt Nix entered game his sole job was to find Kirksey or Collins..Collins faired better than Kirksey. Kirk had a heck of a time just staying on his feet most the day.Mingo flashbacks

Like I used to tell my Principal, 'Shmuck grades'.

Are PFF ratings like school grades? 90-100 = A, ect..
No... there's a lengthy explanation of their grading process somewhere on their website. I'll post it if I feel like it...
EDIT: ... and I did...

These grades seem to me to be on the money and reflective of what we saw on the field. The O line play is VERY concerning. I sure hope they spent a lot of time this week figuring that sh!t out.

The OLine was drastically altered when, at the proverbial last second, the Browns switched Bitonio from LT back to LG and replaced him with an undrafted rookie from a DII school who missed time during training camp. Zeitler barely played all preseason, and there's a new starter at RT.
I'm hoping that we incrementally start seeing progress with the OLine as they actually get used to playing together.
A HUGE reason why I have zero interest in seeing Mayfield on the field any time soon.

Well have a chuckle at this analysis of MG against the Squealers. The last comment on trying to pick him off with a pulling RG is really funny.

PFF sucks boys and girls. It's okay for a baseline on certain statistics but for the most part is wildly inaccurate. It's only gone down hill since it's inception.

I have not really paid much attention to it over the years.
But I would like to know if those here who have agree with this assessment.

Completely agree... rust... unfamiliar positions... unfamiliar groupings... and a raw talent.
It's gonna take a while for the unit to gel.
