If you want to tell me comparing two similar players via their PFF grade I totally understand and wouldn’t even present that as an argument. But if you’re saying that someone who ranked 207 out of 219 actually ranks significantly higher and is more average player, I’m not buying it.

So you think PFF knows Nathan Shephard’s assignments and is grading him on how well he occupies his responsibilities for run fits?

If our coaches thought he was essentially the worst DT in the league according to the PFF grade you hold as Bible, do you really think we’d have kept him on the team, much less given him an extension?

We could have just cut him for cap savings. He was one of the few guys where we could have just shed his dollars, but we opted not to and instead in fact want to hold onto him even longer.
