49ers vs. Cardinals: Report Cards and Game Grades For DeForest Buckner, Quinton Dial, and Glenn Dorsey

Some of you asked that I make a grading system strictly for the San Francisco 49ers offensive and defensive players. Well, now you have it. Below is a breakdown of our new grading system that we will roll out after each game, to track each player’s progress from week-to-week.

Our Blue Chip Grading system is based on a scale of 1-10, and takes into account missed assignments, gap control, tackles for loss, and many other factors that formulate our final game grades. After review, it appears that NT Glenn Dorsey was the team’s best run stuffer while DE DeForest Buckner was the defensive line’s best pass-rusher.
