The trenches deserve some love, too, and new left tackle Laremy Tunsil finished with the 6th-best pass-blocking grade among all tackles in Week 1. Daniels has a real bodyguard protecting his blindside now. One other name really surprised me, and Nick Allegretti finished with the 4th-best pass blocking grade among all guards this week. He didn’t allow a single sack or pressure against the Giants’ pass rush on 41 passing snaps. What a showing from an underrated lineman who gets overlooked.
Defensive grades
The defense made a statement and popped all game long. There were a lot of players that took the game over that we didn’t expect, and some others who wound the clock back to their old selves. Starting in the secondary, one player with unknown expectations was new safety Will Harris, and he flashed in more ways than one. Harris finished as the 6th overall safety in the entire league this week with an 84.3 defensive grade. He made plays in coverage and popped on a lot of tackles. Bobby Wagner stuck his nose in the run game on defense and finished with the 3rd best run defense grade with a 90.3 grade.
