PFF has Bresee dead last in run defense….

I know we dismiss PFF a lot, do we think this grade is off?

I see Bresee talked up here as a pass rusher (he’s also not graded well there either) but do you guys and gals think he can improve in the run game? 6th in sacks is nice but he has to improve in run defense imo.

This is where PFF comes up short. His pass rush rate is way too low. He's tied for 6th among DTs and he bats down a very high # of passes , even blocked a game saving FG. PFF does not take into account the gravity of a play just a win rate. Much like an OL he can have a great win rate and give up a strip sack fumble with the game on the line and have a great PFF score.

BB IS playing out of position a lot of time , AND he had an abysmal DL coach in Grantham. Much like Penning had Marrone as an OL coach
