Everyone thought Okung would be our solution at LT. His pass protection stats:
Sacks: 5
Hits: 3
Pressures: 24
Albert in pass protection:
Sacks: 5
Hits: 6
Pressures: 13
Oh, and Okung only played 12 games (799 snaps for Okung, 1071 for Albert). My question is, would everyone be so critical of Okung had he come in and been our LT? I doubt it, but statistically, he is worse than Branden Albert. AND, he's nowhere near the run blocker that Albert is. Our LT position is fine.
Finally, here are the only LT's that graded out better than Albert in pass protection:
1.) Joe Thomas (CLE)
2.) Andrew Whitworth (CIN)
3.) Jason Peters (PHI)
4.) Duane Brown (HOU)
But you're right, I'm sure PFF chooses to inflate Albert's grades, just because.
