[h1]Packers' Moll ranked near the bottom of best run-blocker list[/h1]
Posted: Aug. 31, 2009
ESPN Insider examined every run block a National Football League offensive lineman threw during the 2008 season, and Green Bay Packers guard/tackle Tony Moll appeared on the list you don't want to make - among the worst overall.
In a metric designed to quantify the effectiveness of offensive linemen on run blocks, Moll was ranked fifth worst in the league, with at least 50 point-of-attack blocks thrown.
Moll's point-of-attack winning percentage, 73.5%, ranked just ahead of St. Louis guard Jacob Bell (70.7%), Arizona center Lyle Sendlein (71.3%), former Cincinnati tackle Levi Jones (72.0%) and Miami guard Andy Alleman (73.1%).
KC Joyner of Insider looked at every run block on tape and assigned a lineman one of two grades - a win if the blocker helped create a lane for the runner or a loss, when the defender was able to close down the lane. He then calculated the win percentage for each lineman on run blocks.
The categories he rated players in were point-of-attack blocks at the line of scrimmage, pull blocks and second-to-third-level blocks. A second-level block is defined as a block between the line of scrimmage and 5 yards downfield. A third-level block is one thrown more than 5 yards downfield.
New York Jets center Nick Mangold was graded first in the overall ranking, with a point-of-attack win percentage of 94.3%. Next was New England guard Stephen Neal, Baltimore guard Marshal Yanda, San Diego guard Mike Goff and former Atlanta tackle Todd Weiner.
Miami guard Justin Smiley and Denver tackle Ryan Clady were ranked the top pull blockers, with 100% wins based on a minimum of 32.
Indianapolis guard Mike Pollak was rated the worst pull-blocker (67.7%), while former Seattle, Carolina and Green Bay guard Mike Wahle was listed second-worst (69.6%).
Former Washington guard Pete Kendall was ranked the best second-to-third level blocker in the league (96.7%), while Sendlein was ranked the worst (43.8%), based on a minimum of 16 blocks.
The results of the study were published in the Sept. 7 edition of ESPN The Magazine.
