Depending on what sources you believe Jerry Rice was around a 4.6 yet you
never saw him get caught from behind. Having a quick burst and getting up to speed quickly are way more important than having a high top speed that gives a lot of guys a great 40 time.

i don't think pff is totally worthless, but i'd have to say i trust cooley's breakdown more, since he watches like 12 hours on a single skins game (pff has soo much data to track that the analysis is shallower or somewhat automated in parts, i'm sure).

they might just have a rubric that they can hand to a high-schooler on "this is a +1 play, this is a -1 play."

Sometimes, I would just prefer to enjoy a hard earned win by the team without the dissection to follow. This is one of those times.

i dunno, cooley will say a player played like crap when they play like crap, which most analysts and talking heads are really reluctant to do, even when it's obvious. He;s also said he's not sure J is a good coach or the right coach too, so i really haven't seen a lot of obvious bias (except for talking about mcvay).

Love Cooley's work.
He takes no prisoners, yet does not go out of his way to throw anybody under the bus. Provides great detail in his film breakdowns. I really have come to put a lot of stock in both He and BMitch....

I think Cooleys breakdown of players performance is awesome. He goes into great detail on what specifically in their technique they did well or didn't do well. Hand positioning, getting to landmarks, accelerating at the right time, foot movement, choosing routes, etc.

He might be a little biased, but it seems like he tries to keep that in check and does a good job of it.

Silverback has been damn impressive so far this year. Sometimes we seem to take his play for granted, but he is a top 5 tackle in the league. Yes top 5

I agree on all points. I don't need Cooley or PFF to tell me whether or not he can play. He is a dominant player and a leader. The best part is that he is signed for years to come.

When you get right down to it, we have been pretty damn good at left tackle.

Joe Jacoby 81-88
Jim Lachey 89-95
C. Samuels 00-09
T. Williams 10 -25

That's a pretty solid list by any measure.
We have essentially had 4 guys play the position in over 40 years. Probably the most stable position on the team.

Left Tackle and Runningback.
John Riggins
Terry Allen
Stephen Davis
Clinton Portis
Alfred Morris
And at his current pace Matt Jones.
