Scott Wells #1 in Pass Blocking Efficiency For Centers/PFF

[RamBill]

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

If he can stay healthy all year, we are good at center.

 

[Alan]

Big if HE.

 

[Pancake]

So the rest of the guys account for 35 sacks.

I wonder what Long and Saffolds numbers look like.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

So does this mean that Alex Mack really shouldn't have been a Pro Bowler?

To be honest I don't put a lot of stock in PFF grading system for linemen. Too often what they say doesn't jive with what the eyes say.

 

[CGI_Ram]

There is a reason the Rams kept Wells, he's a solid player when healthy.

But that's my big concern with this oline. Rinse and repeat; Saffold and Long.

I'd like 2 premium picks (3rd round and better) going toward this oline.

Note that 'Pass Blocking Efficiency' is a pure stat based on sacks, hits, and hurries for all passing plays. This is not their pass block grading. For that Wells was more like 8th.

Either way that is solid performanc based on their grades. That is just their grades. Wells doesnt get much push in the running game,but, he was solid in the passing game.
Based on these stats Wells in underpaid, right?

at LT and Guard, they graded out very highly.

it's the other guards and backups that didn't do so hot. LT, wells at C,RT, Saffold at Guard all had positive grades.

I go back and forth on this all the time. I'm on a "draft playmakers" kick right now.

Clowney, Watkins, Pryor are my favorites. Drafting OL'man in the second and third rounds is fine with me.

13. St Louis Rams (26th)PB: 17th, RB: 9th, PEN: 26th

Stud: Many, ourselves included, wondered if Jake Long (+25.8) was done. He’d enjoyed a great start to his career in Miami but two so-so years left a lot to be desired. Well, this was the year he came back with a bang, and it’s a horrible shame his season ended with an ACL and MCL tear.

Dud: He may be a former first-rounder but Chris Williams (-21.8) is just a liability as a lineman. Far too much pressure, not enough good run blocking, and he’s the team’s weak link on offense.

Analysis: A step forward but perhaps not as much as they would have like to see. They nailed it with the pickup of Long and got surprisingly good play from Joe Barksdale, Shelley Smith and Rodger Saffold at guard. That would suggest a higher finish, but the interior trio of Williams, Harvey Dahl and Scott Wells really didn’t play up to the level that was needed of them.

How did Wells grade out in the run game?

 

[The Rammer]

Not bad for Mr. Wells. Wish he'd do some self meditation to help repair the damage in his body to last 16 games! If he comes through this year with our other O-Line draft picks we pick up we might have a top 5-6 O -Line.

 

[shaunpinney]

The thing with our O-Line, if they're all healthy they could be formidable - I'd like a solid OL pickup early in the draft and third though

 

[SteveBrown]

I am surprised he was #1---he is a smart and dedicated guy. Maybe Fisher has a reason for keeping him

 

[ReddingRam]

You also have to notice that he played one of the lesser amount of snaps. So had he into the upper 500-600 snaps, he might not as graded out so well.

 

[ReddingRam]

But Wells biggest downfall has been the ability to stay healthy. He has not played an entire season since we signed him and he ain't getting any younger...
