Hard to wrap our head around the idea that PFF said he played well above average. I saw numerous plays where he was being beat in pass pro and run blocking. I try to give PFF some benefit of the doubt, but that's seems patently wrong.
McGlinchey appears to be our weakest starter, along with Lenoir.
Being pushed back is not a "lose" situation unless it impacts the play. Such was not the case yesterday.
McGlinchey's biggest problem is that he has picked some very bad times to have a PP breakdown. That shows up in his PFF rating. His 64 rating (slightly below average) is the same as Burford's. Williams is 85. Brendel is 72. Banks is 70. Overall, that is slightly above average.
The fact that McGlinchey is playing next to a rookie who is struggling more than Mc has a negative impact on both of them. As the season progresses, I am going to be watching to see them both bring up their level of PP play.
