Al Woods earns Steelers highest grade in Pro Football Focus evaluation

By Neal Coolong on Aug 12 2013



The Steelers Digest Player of the Game, Woods, scored big according to the play evaluation web site.

Steelers defensive lineman Al Woods earned a 4.0 grade from Pro Football Focus, a web site that evaluates each player in each game throughout the course of the season.

The site is doing preseason games for the first time this season, creating an interesting point of reference for fans who may not have had the chance to see the game.

PFF give a varying point amount on a player's performance in each play of a game. The scores can range from -2.0 (a complete disaster) to 2.0 (a resounding whipping of his opponent). The most common grade is 0, with 0.1 being the second-most common, according to the site.

Racking up a 4.0 in that kind of grading system indicates Woods stood out to the evaluator quite a bit, and it's hard to argue.

They gave left tackle Mike Adams a 1.2, the highest grade for any Steelers' offensive player. Center Maurkice Pouncey earned a -3.0 on just 20 snaps, which is on par with the site's longstanding devaluation of Pouncey and his abilities.

Kelvin Beachum earned a 1.2 as a back-up right tackle, while starter Marcus Gilbert earned a -2.0 (another grade I'm not sure I agreed with upon a second viewing).

Back-up NT Alameda Ta'amu earned a 1.6 for his efforts, and running back LaRod Stephens-Howling got a 1.2 for his seven-carry, 40 yard performance.

Total BS site! Not saying Woods was not Reggie White-like with his play. But GILBERT getting a 2.0 ? That dude is easily the leagues worst player. He is a sloth. He is tissue paper soft. And there is not ONE Single thing he can do Athletically better then me right now...and I was WAY past the voting age well before Mean Joe Green ever put on a steeler uniform.


Gilbert should just be cut outright right now. Let him go back to Florida and sit around all day eating his Pizzas and Ho-Ho's, and drinking Da Purple Drank..( Which I know for a FACT that he does ) Total waste of a Human Being!!

Gilbert got a MINUS 2 (-2) a horrible score. They got it right.

It ius always funny how they always hate on Pouncey. They always rate him a dog. They had him worse than Gilbert at minus three. I missed the game did he give up an interior sack? Because considering how they dominated running the interior while he was in that is the ONLY WAY I see his getting graded that badly.

He should have gotten a minus 2.000000000000000000000000 score cause there isn't a single High School team this dude can make. In college he was terrible. He played on a great Line, but it was his teammates that made it good. Gilbert is a joke.
Another "Hip-Hop " Gang Banger who will be out of the league, and in prison really soon.

I have read your schtick before...take the trolling elsewhere. Haven't you already been banned?

Troling ? It's the truth. The dude has been a waste since we drafted him in the 2nd round. And no, how could have I been banned here ? I just found the site last week. Look, don't wanna agree with me, fine. I can take that. But don't be coming in here like some kinda Gangsta trying to threaten me. Keep it real and sincere, or get out of my face son.

You do know that the minus 2.0 (-2.0) grade Gilbert received and the minus 2.000000000000000000000000 score you suggest are in fact THE SAME NUMBER?

I fail to see the issue with his score, it was a bad score.

No, I did not know that. Thanks for clearing it up. Bottom line is though, Gilbert is a waste of a player, and a Human life form.
ANY money spent on him is being wasted.

Listen, no one here likes Gilbert. But, keep the racist stereotypes out of here. No one needs any of that.

I sure dont want that one man wreaking crew anywhere near DeCastro who looked awesome.

I'm not being racist. In the draft when he came out it was reported that Gilbert had a past Gang related file, and was in trouble several times at Florida..( No Big surprise there ) It was also reported, I will try to find a link for you, that in High School he was busted for using and selling a popular drug mixture called The Purple Drank, or " Lean " This is a KNOWN drink of Gang Bangers throughout the Country. Look it up if you don't believe me. Now, it also was reported that in Gilbert's final year at Florida that he had supposedly cleaned up his act, and he did have by far his best season that final year. But at the time, I maintained that his overall Line grade was more due to the players he played with, then his own play.


But bottom line, he is just not a hard worker. He slothes around too much of the time. He doesn't need a talking to, or a motivation speech. He needs his Big Ole Butt kicked off this team. And is he is not, then for the first time EVER...I ahve to call into question Mike Tomlin's Character, and how he gives special treatment to BAD players on this team who just so happen to be...." Hommies "


And that is a valid point to sir.

[steelsnis]

Did you really just question Tomlin's character by saying he gives special treatment to players because they are "Hommies?" May I ask you what you mean by "hommies?" Also, if you would, please name a few of the "hommies" that Tomlin has given special treatment to?

Thanks

[Shawn]

I'm merely giving some friendly advice. You are new here. We want to hear what you have to say. But, if you want to fill every other post focusing on people's pasts (which most of us have one) instead of game play, or use underlying racist undertones to your posts...you probably wont be well received. Just my 2 cents.

We had a poster back in the day who liked to say things like this about Tomlin..."overpaid janitor" etc. Racist undertones in many posts. Feels familiar. Hope I'm wrong.
