re: Jeff Grimes is a BIG Problem

And how was the pass protection numbers while we were setting records with Fournette and Guice? They aren't good. Something like 1 sack for every 16 pass plays.

Where did we rank for tackles for loss (against) in 2016? 70 TFL ranked 48.

We played 3 top-25 rushing D's in 2016. What were our YPC against those? 4.3, 1.2, 4.3. A 4.3 ypc average was good for about a 69th national average in 2016.

Quoting the YPC statistics and those articles are misleading, disingenuous, and it masks deficiencies against teams you have to beat to be elite and make the playoffs. And it's only one aspect of the job a OL is supposed to do.

ETA: this year, so far we've allowed 6 sacks on 88 pass plays (1 sk per 14.7 pass plays). If it wasn't for Etling (and some Brennan on Sat) those numbers would be much worse. He's done a good job of scrambling to avoid the sack (just not scrambling to make a play).
