Rashawn Slater, Franchise LT - Discussion

[equivocation]

I’m no PuFFer but its funny how this thread says PFF is stupid when they rate Jaimes but brilliant when they rate Slater. I think both opinions were correct, PFF is a random number generator, a tiny wizard behind the curtain … every once in awhile they fall on the correct value.

They are better rating guys in space than in systems, and generally the further from the center the better they are. Seeing if a WR is doing his job is pretty easy. OT blocking on an island? Easy.

IOL and IDL have a lot of moving parts in the systems and their graders really seem to struggle understanding possible assignments. Same with secondary sometimes.

How did it rate Jaimes?

How did it rate Jaimes?

Had him as the 3rd worst offensive players for the Chargers. Pipkins and Norton were rated higher. Score was like a 50 if I remember correctly.

If you watch Norton carefully, he was getting pushed back on just about every pass pro rep...looked like he allowed a few hurries also...and mind you, this is vs. the Rams 2nd and 3rd stringers...Slater looked a LOT better in pass pro...

Slater was PFF’s top ranked rookie in pass pro, so they agree with your eyes there. Jaimes was the one they were critical of in their ranking for no reason that I saw. I fully agree with what you saw Topcat.

Austin Gayle Tweeted a gasp yesterday upon seeing vs Rams Jaimes vid.

Norton sucks. I hope both him and Pipkins aren’t on the team for this season but that’s unlikely.

Are you suggesting we scan the waiver wire for our backup tackles? Cuz both those guys are better than the guys behind them.

Yes waive wire.

Nice dream, but not likely.

OL depth is definitely concerning.Could have drafted Ten OG Smith rather then the Iowa LB.
Maybe could of brought back tevi just to compete
Dosen't matter now.
