That seems awfully low. Almost certainly a product of the number of 3rd down conversions we surrendered.
We struggled to force turnovers and get their offense off the field. So we just didn't get to run many plays.
Tell ya what, if you're gonna put stock in these PFF grades, you should be FAR more concerned about Trey Smith's 50.2 pass-block grade than you are about Kingsley's 37 in run blocking.
And Taylor wasn't much better. Honestly, that one checks out. I usually think PFF is being awfully hard on our OT play but Taylor just flat got dog-walked a couple times last night. Setting aside the penalties, he's usually a pretty sturdy pass protector. But I saw a couple straight bull rushes that just drove him back into the pocket last night.
On offense, Taylor was probably my biggest concern last night. Athleticism looked good but he seemed to really be struggling with power.

Agreed. And apparently he lost some weight this offseason to make up for the alignment tweaks, but if it means he can’t anchor the same, big mistake.
It’s very early but he’s definitely on a trajectory to not finish out this contract.
