9/5C + 32 = F
5/9(F-32) = C
Even so, I know people who seriously believe that 0C is colder than 32F.

Do you see DMC as a deep safety? maybe sometimes but he seems to play a lot more of a swiss army knife role here.

I just checked to confirm that Malcolm Brown wears No. 90. I am no stats guru by any stretch of the imagination, but yes, my eye test matches their stats - he is THAT BAD. You know that gaping hole that appears in the middle of the line in the run game inexplicably during most, or at least a portion of most, games this year? The hole is always right next to No. 90.
To a certain extent yes, and yes, he absolutely is in a swiss knife role in this defense except he does not cover the other team's best WR's so my argument is that in this regard, his twitchiness isn't as critical as overall, side to side speed.

The coverage on those TEs was awful.DMAC actually ended up doing exactly that on several plays during his "bad stretch" when they Pats were adjusting the pattern-matching zone scheme around available personnel. The DMAC of 2012/2013 probably would have prevented at least a couple of those 4 TDs he gave up.

Indy will win. I want Houston to win because **** the Colts, and I'd rather play Houston than Baltimore or LA.
I think you might be in the wrong thread
Just watch when the guy is in the game on a big run play up the middle. They just push him out of the way and run right through the hole. Not sure who is supposed to be in the gap - a LB or Brown, but nobody is there, time and again. Maddening!!Hopefully filled by the LB who's assigned to it.
Hold on. So, you were ok with PFF, but not anymore? I'm confused; am I misinterpreting or are you saying you were ok with them grading on a -2 to +2 scale? Or is the "basic number counting" you are referring to something totally different?
Yes he is. What he means is when PFF focused on "raw" numbers like coverage stats, pass rush stats and so forth instead of hyping up this one-size-fits-all grading scheme.
Well, I agree with you on this part. I'd certainly be interested in write ups on what happened, too. An explanation is easier to understand then just a number. But I wouldn't entirely toss out the idea of PFF using a grading system to evaluate a player. NFL coaches/scouts "grade" players too. But as a fan, not all positions are like QB, HB, or WR where we have plenty of stats to look at and discuss. So, I think a PFF still has the right idea, even if it's flawed....I agree that having trained eyes watch a lot of football is good. The problem is PFF removes all the richness of qualitative analysis in order to tap into the mystique of numbers and mathematical analytics, which has the unfortunate effect of collapsing a lot of the analytical nuance that PFF's scouts could talk about into near-meaninglessness.
Now I disagree because really no one looks at PFF as an "objective stat", but rather a "player grade." PFF itself calls it just that; a player grade, too. Big difference. Grade means "to evaluate or rank," like teachers who grade their students. It's an evaluation process. An informed opinion. So, yes, I acknowledge I may disagree with PFF grades. Now, I know I disagreed with certain professors after they graded, say, my essay on an exam. But I'm still interested in their evaluation. Same for PFF.PFF wants you to believe that a 90 grade is a 90 grade, but what does that even mean? There's simply no way to parse or present in a meaningful way how a 89.6 differs from a 90.2 in their grading system. This isn't statistics, it's just crap marketed to look like statistics.
There is a reason Dorsett sat.Phillip Dorsett above average is where I stopped reading. IF he was above average the Pats would use him more. Chis Hogan average?? Yeah he's had a off year but so as Brady: Hogan can't throw it to himself. Also Julian Edelman has had some timely drops but that should not detract from his rating he's flat out Good.

There is a reason Dorsett sat.
Tom has thrown 11 picks this year. Of those 11, 3 were to Dorsett- highest on the team.
I d0nt know the "why" but that is concerning nonetheless.
I remember the MIA one. That was a great play.Dorsett out of position? Or Brady just missing him?
I know that one of those three was a very deep shot down the middle of the field into double-coverage against DET (low% throw to begin with). I think another was an intermediate depth seam route, on which a Miami defender read it and peeled back off the guy he was covering to get under Dorsett's route (good defensive play).
AFAIK, none of those three bounced off of, or went through, Dorsett's hands.
OTOH, there's the "bad luck charm" factor.
I remember the MIA one. That was a great play.
Who knows what the root cause of the 3 were. I saw that number in Kyed 2nd level stats today and it caught my eye.
I could be as simple as he didn't run the right option route or it was Tom that f-ed up. Dont know.
