Giants' PFF Numbers: Overall Totals After Six Games

Since I know you all love them so much (cough, cough) I thought I would give you the overall Pro Football Focus numbers on the performance of the New York Giants thus far. After all, we have no game from Sunday to review.

These should be instructive, at least in terms of how the numbers match up with which players you believe are playing well, or poorly. As always, remember that these numbers are just for discussion -- they aren't gospel.

A couple of overall numbers for starts.

Offensively the Giants are +17.3, eighth in the league. I have no clue how Minnesota can be +25.7, but that is a whole different argument. The Giants' pass offense is +25.8, seventh in the league, while the run offense is just +7.9, which is 13th and much higher than I would put its performance.

Defensively, the Giants are +24.8 overall, eighth in the league. The killer number is that PFF rates the Giants at -9.9 in pass coverage.

Star-divide

Here are some overall individual numbers for you to chew on.

Offense

Eli Manning (+13.7)
Ahmad Bradshaw (+10.8)
Hakeem Nicks (+5.6)
Jake Ballard (+5.0)
Brandon Jacobs (+4.0)
David Baas (+2.8)
Chris Snee (+2.4)
Will Beatty (+1.6) 
David Diehl (-9.3)

Ballard's +5.0 is a mark no one saw coming. Beatty's +1.6 is not elite, but is way better than Diehl at left tackle. Obviously, Diehl is also struggling at guard. He is ranked 64th out of 70 guards graded by PFF.

Defense

Mathias Kiwanuka (+9.4)
Rocky Bernard (+7.1)
Jason Pierre-Paul (+6.6)
Linval Joseph (+6.4)
Osi Umenyiora (+6.2)
Kenny Phillips (+5.1)
Aaron Ross (+5.0)
Greg Jones (+3.0)
Michael Boley (+1.9)
Deon Grant (-3.8)
Antrel Rolle (-7.5)
Dave Tollefson (-8.8)

Still complaining about the way the Giants are using Kiwanuka? Carl Banks says Kiwi is "sneaky good," and these numbers agree. I would not have expected Kiwanuka to have the best grade on the defense right now. Nor would I have expected so much from Bernard. The bottom numbers, by the way, show how badly the Giants need Justin Tuck and Prince Amukamara.

Wow...

I would NOT put Tolly that low. He may not be an animal like the rest of the DE’s, but he has been good to say the least.

Also, how are Eli and JPP not OVER (+)9000!!! (lolyeah, I went there, but they have been absolutely beastly. I have made the argument that by and large, Eli has been playing some of the best QB in the league)

he's good for a backup

thats it. don’t even try arguing that he’s good on any other team with his horrendous grade right above your comment

by Lolmoarpl0x on Oct 25, 2011 1:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

I have to agree somewhat...I think while Tolly was serviceable, that's about all I can say

Yeah he got sacks, but his pressure was inconsistent at best….I saw him stonewalled plenty of times, and most of the time I saw him, he was not good at run defense….

As the 4th/5th DE he's fine

but his best use is STs and occasionally spotting a guy for a few plays, he isn’t starting material at DE in our D. Very few guys are.

what a starter should be in this league….the grade makes sense…maybe a little harsh, but justifiable I think.

Poor Tollefson

He’s doing admirably, considering the circumstances, he’s a solid backup guy. Filling in for arguably the best all around DE in the league is a tall order. They do need Tuck back…

Also that roundhouse kick celebration has to go IMO. He looks goofy doing it.

by tito (eight and oh) on Oct 25, 2011 1:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

i don't think it was what he said...

but he followed it up with a: YES!

so i just interpreted that as positive in both areas.

and frankly, while he has given up passes….some of those have in fact come w/ him playing slot CB, and when he is playing more of a traditional S….he doesn’t seem to be getting exposed at all, in fact, he’s making plays.

so again….I don’t see how it’s even possible that he’s the WORST in the league in that category. Not saying it’s obvious that he’s the BEST…but if you put a gun to my head, i would say he’s closer to “best” than “worst”.

b/c a) he simply can’t be that bad b/c he’s not even playing that much S. b) one would certainly hope that they (PFF) is conscious of the fact that Rolle is playing both S and CB positions and the yards he’s giving up are from a CB position, hence, he should be graded on both scales IMO.

but (and here’s the most important part) wtf do i know….

Numbers are bogus

There is no basis for these numbers, for example Tollefson is better than his number (whatever that means), Osi’s is too high considering how much he has played and his run defense is bad, JPP shoudl be higher and DD is playing much better than everyone thinks.

the most you can say about Rolle

is that he’s getting beat in coverage…as a Nickel CB.

use the green tree

What's the green tree?

I don’t know how to post a pic either.

copy the url to the pic

click the pic of the green tree

delete the http stuff that SBN puts in there

paste and click OK

then click preview to see if it works

Any one know what Cantys grade was?

he looks to be playing very well this year.

Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.

Thanks

These grades stink Canty has been collapsing the pocket and generally beasting this year.

Who is Diehl's back-up?

Maybe they should give him a chance. wouldn’t hurt.

by wkh19 on Oct 25, 2011 12:59 PM EDT reply actions  

Diehl listed as tackle on NYG web page, however guards who are available:

77 Boothe, Kevin G 6-5 320 28 6 Cornell
62 Petrus, Mitch G 6-3 315 24 2 Arkansas

Center but played well in relief of Bass: 63 Cordle, Jim C 6-3 320 24 1 Ohio State

by Hank4910 on Oct 25, 2011 1:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

I liked how Cordle looked at C that game

but doubt Diehl will get benched unless he gets much worse

by DukBudr on Oct 25, 2011 1:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

Agree on Diehl

Unless Deihl really starts letting the pocket collapse on Eli, I think TC will stick with him for the year. Next year someone else will probably be there though.
 Mike G swears Deihl is playing better than people think, especially lately. He watches a lot of tape is is really astute about this stuff.

Go Giants!

by ronjohnson on Oct 25, 2011 1:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

well he looks better simply by not playing T

I’m not educated enough on line play to really know how he’s doing at G. I just hope/assume with the cap as it is that he will not be on the roster next year

by DukBudr on Oct 25, 2011 1:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

at least he didnt look like a turnstile in the last game

Diehl

Would probably get replaced by Boothe … or Petrus if they wanted to go young.

by Ed Valentine on Oct 25, 2011 2:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

Cordle perhaps? Or is he strictly a C since Koets isn't healthy?

same. While I think some of the way they analyze stuff is a crock of poo

Its the same guys doing it for every team with the same methodology, so at least gives me a somewhat reliable way of comparing players with each other….

PFF

Taking the grades too seriously, Andi. Just use ’em for discussion and realize that, system or not, there is subjectivity in there. Which flaws any system. Besides, 3 people can look at the same play and wind up grading it +1, 0 or -1 based on what they see. I just look for overall trends ,,, like Kiwi good, Diehl bad.

by Ed Valentine on Oct 25, 2011 2:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

You're right Ed

but still….just grinds my gears.

by andiamo708 on Oct 25, 2011 3:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

There's actually other stuff they provide

non subjective stuff, that are arguably worth the cash. If you check out JimmyK’s site, he has the snap numbers, which he gets from them.

When they were still free, I remember they’d also tell you what position they were playing (e.g we could find out how many times Kiwi played DE/LB/DT.

That’s good stuff.

PFF Grades

Purely Futile Fantasy grades

by marfar on Oct 25, 2011 1:26 PM EDT reply actions  

PFF numbers too high

Yes the -9.9 pass coverage is certainly deserve. It is our weakest link. Help is needed badly there.
Dave Tollefson (-8.8) ?? I thought he play much better than that.

by Olddiehard on Oct 25, 2011 6:21 PM EDT reply actions  

+1

Come on Ed, you gotta have better material than this stuff…

by bigblue777 on Oct 25, 2011 10:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

The Tollefson thing does make sense

it doesn’t mean he’s a terrible player, but a lot of times when he’s playing DT (not his fault) there’s lots of big runs. That’s probably why he’s got such a negative number.

here's a thought

don’t play a guy who weighs less than 260 lbs at NT
