Was surprised to see Jelani and Koa rated in the top 10 of linebackers by pro football focus...

Unbelievable...I thought our linebackers were garbage!
What a funny game...

Bad play by one position can make another position look a lot worse than it really is.

Misi is having his best year as a Phin and Jenkins is raising his level of play after learning the game the past 2/3 years.

Football focus does not reward you for simply making tackles...it's all about one on one battles...etc.. The 2 of them are turning heads...

They are turning heads I have been very critical of Misi in the past he has really turned it on this year.

Doesnt this have a lot to do with Suh being double teamed, taking up blockers, and the Lb's are not having to get off blocks like they did last year?

PFF is horrible, they said Andrew Luck is not as good as Tannelhill. Anyone here wouldn't step over their own mother to turn in a card trading RT for Luck? living proof of the adage lies, damn lies, and statistics, but here their stats are made up by some brits living in their parents' basement

He has never made game changing plays but this year I think Im seeing him make more play for shorter yard.

I also agree w/ taking pff stats w/ a grain of salt but in this case I agree w/ them.

I'm with berk on this. A couple mondays ago Aaron Rogers was 26/35 300+ yards and 5 tds. He got a negative grade.

Not buying what they're selling. I constantly see Misi take poor angles to the ball and giving up long runs in the process.

He is the epitome of average. Maybe he's paying PFF to help him get a big payday next year.

Maybe we got too used to seeing Zach Thomas play....He was a tackling machine.

Misi is not even in the same world as zach thomas..


Not many people are born with zach thomas instints.

Both Misi and Jenkins made stand out plays last week. Jenkins shot the gap from a pulling guard on a run play to the right and leveled the back behind the line of scrimmage and Misi made a play for a short loss or no gain on a run to the left that was also quite good.

Of course, both of these plays stood out because they are completely foreign to our typical linebacker play. They're the types of plays that Zach Thomas made multiple times in single games.

I already made my detailed comment years ago on how Football is a team sport and individual performances really can't be measured by individual numbers or even "views" on one on one matches. There are numerous factors going into every play on the field from the play call on both sides, to the positioning of the players, to the very traction of the ground itself. Good player analysis requires an extreme amount of knowledgeable observation over long periods of time. I don't believe it can be quantized so easily in the NFL.
