I've gotta admit, I was concerned about RG when Slauson went down, but, Thus far the Glowinski has played as well or better than Slauson was playing.
And he and the rookie have found a way to work together in a short time

I think Glowinski looks better than Slauson did.

He's certainly more athletic. I like the way he gets to the 2nd level and just riding defenders away from the play.

In relation to the Colts' offensive line at-large, I found this article that was just put out by Zak Keefer.




The Colts allowing 10 sacks vs. the Jaguars in 2017 led to the offensive revival.

https://www.profootballfocus.com/pff-player-grades

Basically, their team of "300 plus staff" give a grade to each player of between -2 and +2 on each play, and then they tweak and "normalize" those numbers in some way that makes sense to them, and finally they convert it all onto a 0-100 scale. As Dam points out, subjective input factors HEAVILY in these analyses and, by the way, what makes the -2 to +2 initial scale appropriate to begin with?

People just like this stuff because it attaches a number to a player's performance that give the impression of significance and objectivity, but looking under the hood reveals that it really doesn't and often the PFF numbers simply do not make sense - such as Leonard being ranked behind Vander Esch. These kind of things then generate lots of discussion, which has the unintended effect of boosting PFF's profile even more - so PFF isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
It's real life Madden. Hey look so and so has a grade of 85 but our guy is a 92, he is sooooo much better. If it was really effective they would be transparent about it. I am trying to track their ratings of draft picks a few years back to see how accurate their predictions were, having trouble finding a lot of them though. Shocking.

Most of these sites use a dart board to get a number.
Leonard was around the 5th best LB in the draft generally. Vander Esch was about third I think, depending on who was rating. His size and speed was second to Edmunds. I think the majority had:
Smith - Georgia
Edmunds - Vir
Vander Esch - Boise
Evans - Bama
Leonard
Jefferson - Texas

Quite a few pundits thought Leonard was a reach. But those guys just churn out fodder for fans, have to take it with a grain of salt.
