I know our line sucks because the QB gets hit every play and Henry is constantly getting hit in the backfield. Plus our constant penalties. Every so often it’s clear when the Tackle gets run over or whiffs on a block getting the QB obliterated. But the amount of takes on this sub about how Skoranski has been good or (insert individual) has been good blows me away. Like the camera angles usually don’t allow to seriously follow interior lineman (or lineman in general) unless that’s your entire focus. I can’t confidently say Skoranski has been good, and I don’t really take the PFF grades as anything legitimate. So are people blowing smoke, or is Skoranski looking like a good pic up?
I typically rewatch the all 22 from the week before on Saturdays using NFL+ subscription. Very easy to see the OL play with the high end zone cam and usually the wide angle wire cam as well.
I’m not a professional analyst, so I take even my own analysis with a grain of salt, but it’s very clear that he holds his own in the pass and run game. He also has a lot of responsibility trying to help out the LT a lot of the time.
The stats bear this out, he’s only credited with allowing 1 sack, he’s visually and statistically allowing less pressures than anyone else on the line.
To add to this personal view, there are people who are literally paid to analyze these types of things (Schwartz, Baldy, PFF, and more) and I’ve only read good things about him so far. If you don’t trust those guys and you also don’t watch film yourself, I don’t know what to tell ya.
