Just in case you weren't sure that PFF's grades are total garbage and their analysis is terrible bullshit, they've released their rankings for the top Secondaries in the NFL, and ranked the Dallas Cowboys as #1 overall, and has increased their grade since Morris Claibourne went out with injury (Claibourne was having a breakout year). https://www.profootballfocus.com/pr...tm_campaign=nfl note: The Cowboys' defense ranks 13th in Yards/Attempt, 23rd in passer rating allowed to opposing QBs, 27th in INTs, and 31st in completion percentage allowed. The defense hasn't been bad, but that's been because it has been good at preventing teams from getting big plays and coming up big on third downs. In no serious sense is this the NFL's best secondary.

quote:ESPN Panthers reporter David Newton "could see a scenario" where Carolina releases Jonathan Stewart this offseason. Stewart still has gas in the tank and the Panthers have like the fourth most cap space in the league and absolutely nothing else at runningback so i have no idea what the point of this speculation is.

That is a very good piece, and does bring up a good point, that for as poo poo as Hill is, he at least admitted it and was contrite. Compared to Frank Clark or Joe Mixon, you can at least believe he's trying to better himself.

A stat that has the Cowboys and Patriot secondaries above the Broncos. By Pass Defense DVOA (which is going to include coverage by linebackers): 1. Broncos 2. Eagles 3. Cardinals 4. Giants 5. Texans 6. Buccaneers 7. Chiefs 8. Vikings 9. Chargers 10. Ravens 11. Panthers 12. Steelers 13. Seahawks 14. Dolphins 15. Bengals 16. Jaguars 17. Bears 18. Cowboys 19. Falcons 20. Rams 21. Bills 22. Packers 23. Patriots 24. Washington 25. Raiders 26. Titans 27. Colts 28. 49ers 29. Saints 30. Browns 31. Jets 32. Lions Well, they both agree on the Saints.

Yeah the point is that PFF is garbage and their grades are made-up nonsense. I don't agree with all of the FO stuff, but it's at least grounded in a stat process. I miss Brian Burke's site, though. Before he got bought out by ESPN (they basically bought it to cannibalize his Win Percentage Added metric to fold into QBR and to get his win probability charts), he was doing some really great work. Dallas had some major injuries in the secondary this year--Claibourne has been out since the Packers game and Church and Wilcox both missed time--but should be pretty healthy going into this week's game. The only major injuries are guys who were promising but never really made the field (Tapper, Smith) and two of our better blocking Tight Ends (Geoff Swaim, James Hanna).

Clairbons effed up wrist, dislcoated shoulder, patellar tendon, etc . JJ wilcox (is bad) thigh injury... Im sure im forgetting others. I mean we've had injuries, but I think they're more noticeable because the team has had very poor depth, especially on the defensive side of the ball. When your best CB is only above average, then the guy behind him is probably pretty bad and losing him hurts a lot more, even if the dropoff isn't as big as it might be if he were a potential HoFer. Claibourne has gotten a pretty bad rap--most CBs take a few years to develop into competent starters and playing in a Rob Ryan defense is a losing proposition no matter how talented you are. I no longer feel like he was a bust, but I wouldn't have traded up for him (or anyone, really). It seems a lot worse when you consider that the upside to getting someone like Kirkpatrick and staying put at 14 would have been getting someone like Alshon Jeffrey (who the pick was actually used on after the Rams traded it to the Bears), Mychal Kendricks, or Bobby Wagner in the 2nd round with the 45th pick.
