Hey there football fans! Here are five things from yesterday that you need to know to start your Fridays off right:
- PFF's own Cam Mellor detailed the importance of pass blocking efficiency. He also provided a break down of the most efficient pass blockers by position from 2016. Andrew Whitworth highlighted the list, and he has been at the top of the PBE list no less than three times in his career.
- We doubled down on offensive line breakdowns by providing you with a run down of the most effective offensive lines by run concept last year. Zoltan Buday provided a list of the top offensive line units at running outside zone, inside zone, and gap scheme plays. The Bills were the only team mentioned on all three lists, and they finished no lower than second on any of them.
- Mike Pouncey should be ready for Week 1. The talented Dolphins center believes he'll be ready to go to start the season. That's good news for Miami, as he seemingly had a large affect on their running game. HC Adam Gase went as far as to say that he was the team's best blocker.
- Budda Baker believes missing time in the offseason has not left him behind. Baker could not attend OTAs and minicamp due to his college schedule. Similar to another Arizona safety, Tyrann Mathieu, Baker was effective all over the field for the Huskies last year.
- Patrick Thorman brought you a list of which quarterbacks pair well together in fantasy. The latest in quarterback strength of schedule week, the list provides you with quarterback pairings that show allow you to enjoy good match ups most weeks. The perfect pairing this year? Cam Newton and Tyrod Taylor, a pair of affordable and talented signal callers.
