Pretty accurate assessment of the team. Their writer must have been lurking here since he's highlighting my addition by subtraction motto this offseason. All the pessimists can also take solace in the preview since it highlights all the issues. Unlike the pessimists, it also see's ways that the team can have success as well. Best researched preview I've seen so far.

i can appreciate the effort PFF puts into what they do but at the end of the day they're just casual fans with DVR

It's a good site.

His -43.4 grade is the lowest we have ever given to an offensive lineman

I guess there really weren't any better options and King Dunlap / Starks are not an upgrade LOL

For a deeper look at the effect pressure has on quarterbacks, I highly recommend Steve Palazzolo’s Examining Pressure series.

This might be a good thing for the Freeney doubters to read..

This might be another good read for some of those folks:

Should have left it OL instead of OL chemistry...

Dunlap performed admirably in pass protection for the Eagles last season as he tied for 15th in the league in Pass Blocking Efficiency at 95.9. Starks is coming off a down year, ranking 45th in that regard with a 93.4 PBE. Harris may not see the field much this season, however his play through two preseason games is much improved.

Good to hear Harris is much improved.

I liked this part:

Along with the GM and coaching change, the Chargers unloaded many underperforming veterans during their Extreme Makeover: Franchise Edition. On defense, they got rid of their five lowest-graded players from last season in Shaun Phillips, Vaughn Martin, Antoine Cason, Quentin Jammer, and Atari Bigby. Each ranked among the worst-performing players at their positions in 2012.

Kinda flies in the face of the we lost our veteran depth argument.
