Fans fairly wonder whether Pro Football Focus even knows what it's talking about anymore.
The Broncos still have a ways to go to ascend to the top of the AFC, as last Sunday’s matchup at Baltimore revealed, but given all the dead cap and dearth of top draft capital, sitting just one win away from exceeding the oddsmakers' over/under prediction is a testament of the team-building and coaching vision under the current regime.
On defense, three Broncos were given acknowledgement as being some of the best at their respective positions in the AFC West, while on special teams, two players garnered a spot on PFF's All-AFC West Team at the midway point. And then there's the snub. More on that shortly.You're probably wondering why the Broncos' superstar interior pass rusher wasn't mentioned. If you've been following PFF this season, it should come as little surprise that Allen isn't listed.
With a defensive grade of 59.2, Allen ranks 28th among interior defensive linemen with at least 300 snaps. It’s fair to wonder what the heck is going on with the grades over at PFF. He plays in a more attacking front, so he's often afforded more one-on-ones in pass-rush situations and is not an overwhelming gap-eating interior player.
Strnad has played 260 snaps this season on defense for the Broncos and has earned a 73.4 overall grade. He's coming off of a horrific performance against Baltimore. Still, the long-time backup and special teams player has filled in quite admirably in the wake of Alex Singleton's season-ending injury.In the secondary, Jones has helped Broncos Country live with the departure of former long-time standout Justin Simmons. PFF has Jones’ grade on the season as 85.
