Top PFF grades: Offense
Per @PFF, #Titans' top 5 offensive grades (at least 15 snaps):
— John Glennon (@glennonsports) December 2, 2019
--Saffold (90.8)
--Conklin (86.3)
--Lewan (84.9)
--Raymond (82.3)
--Jones (72.5)
Notes
-Well, well, well, would you look at that: four of the top-five Titans PFF grades are offensive linemen, and Rodger Saffold is at the top! Pinch me, I must be dreaming. According to PFF, per John Glennon of The Athletic, Saffold didn’t have any of the sacks attributed to him.
-In fact, Dion Lewis and Jonnu Smith each had a sack attributed to them, while Ben Jones allowed two and Nate Davis allowed one. So, three of the six sacks were attributed to offensive linemen, and I can say at least one or two were because Tannehill held the ball for too long.
-Raymond had just one target and one catch, but he made the most of it on a 40-yard strike from Tannehill. The Holy Cross product now has two catches of 40 yards or more in five games, and both of those catches were clutch. Even when Sharpe returns, I’d like to see Raymond get more run if possible.
-It’s obviously surprising to not see Tannehill, and especially Henry, on this list.
Top PFF grades: Defense
Per @PFF, #Titans' top 5 defensive grades (at least 15 snaps):
— John Glennon (@glennonsports) December 2, 2019
--A. Johnson (70.9)
--L. Ryan (68.5)
--T. Smith (66.9)
--A. Hooker (63.8)
--K. Vaccaro (58.8)
Notes
-The Titans’ top PFF grades on defense are actually atrocious for some reason, but here we are.
–Austin Johnson takes the top spot, and it’s well-deserved after he recorded a tackle for loss and then blocked a field goal on consecutive plays in the first quarter. Although used sparingly this season, Johnson has made the most of his limited snaps.
-No surprise that Ryan was the top-graded corner, as he’s been getting it done all season. However, it was good to see Smith post a decent grade with the Titans possibly needing to rely on him more and more going forward.
