I wonder why Sullivan is getting more snaps than Douglas?

This

Though one thing I seriously dislike about PFF grading is that it seems to basically starts everyone off one a certain baseline (say 65 or 70), and the more negative grades you get, the further you go down... so some players have worse grades simply because they played more often than say a backup, who's just as bad or worse.
I think it might be helpful (at least in certain situations) if their was a great per play function.
Because player A that plays 50 plays getting -1 on each play might end up with a -50.
While player B that played 20 plays getting a -2 on each play only ends up with a -40.
Where if there was the per play function you could see the averages and see Player A is starting because it's only -1 while Players B is backup because it's -2...
