I don't think Bakhtiari is fully healthy, abd therefore Nijman is there to stay. And truth be told, Nijman is playing better than Bakhtiari...

Based on PFF scores where average is usually somewhere between 65 and 70... and ideally you want better

Bakhtiari
Pass: 73.0
Run: 50.4 (poor)
Overall: 58.5
60th of 72 OTs

Nijman
Pass: 79.2
Run: 61.6
Overall: 70.1
26th of 72 OTs

Jenkins
Pass: 60.8 (almost poor)
Run: 81.3 (almost elite)
Overall: 76.0
13th of 72 OTs

==================
Now Interior

Myers
Pass: 73.3
Run: 62.1
Overall: 64.9
13th of 39 Cs

Runyan
Pass: 85.0 (elite)
Run: 56.2 (poor)
Overall: 66.0
18th of 74 OGs

Newman
Pass: 56.6 (poor)
Run: 66.3
Overall: 64.0
24th of 74 OGs



It kind of looks like Bakhtiari should be on the bench right now...

One has to wonder how Runyan would do at OT, though they always said he's an OG from the start, probably due to his shorter arms.

I know this idea is absolutely crazy, but if you really want the 5 best blockers starting, right now, it honestly MIGHT be

Nijman, Runyan, Myers, Jenkins and Lewis

Now, in all honesty, I have no idea how Lewis would do at a full time OL, but his current blocking ratings.are fairly good.

TE Lewis
Pass: 61.6 (5th best)
Run: 67.7 (2nd to only Jenkins)
Receiving: 47.3 (Very poor)
Overall: 62.9
24th of 68 TEs

But instead of Nijman looking nat RT, maybe Bakhtiari should be looking at RT.

The OL I want now is

Nijman, Runyan, Myers, Jenkins and Bakhtiari.


The left side is your elite pass blockers, the C/RG are your run blockers and then Bakhtiari on an Island, still decent in pass protect, but not his elite self right now and can team Lewis with him at times to help in the run blocking.

Honestly this is my iteration I was hoping they just might trot out.

Thought Jenkins was much better in this game.

Yes, the above numbers were for the season, for just the Giants game.

And I have no idea how they come up with the overall grade.

They ran block 20 times and pass block 43 times, but the overall grades are closer to the run grades than the pass grades... why?

I'm just going to order them based on the pass blocking grades, because that's what we do the most of.

These are grades from just the Giants game.

Runyan
Pass: 87.4 (elite)
Run: 76.5
Overall: 82.7

Nijman
Pass: 85.9 (elite)
Run: 55.9 (poor)
Overall: 68.8

Jenkins
Pass: 82.6 (almost elite)
Run: 84.9 (elite)
Overall: 85.7

Bakhtiari
Pass: 80.0 (almost elite)
Run: 58.7 (poor)
Overall: 59.4

Myers
Pass: 74.4
Run: 54.2 (very poor)
Overall: 60.1

Newman
Pass: 57.0 (poor)
Run: 69.1
Overall: 67.9


I don't know how you like them up, but I'm for benching Newman and getting the other 5 lineup and ready to go.
