But coverage, and specially pass rushing skills are much more important than playing the run for an OLB (yes, I know, depends on the scheme, but there's a reason that premium pass rushers are paid top dollar and okay pass rushers that are great against the run aren't).They do the same thing with RBs. They take receiving and blocking into the same value as running with the ball, which isn't true (again, depending on the scheme).That's why PFF's stats are much more interesting when comparing aspects of players, rather than overall production.If you're looking for who's the better pass rusher, they're great. If you're looking for who's the better OLB, their rankings are not so good (in fact, it's an incredibly subjective topic. I don't think you can take stats to distinguish players overall properly, but that's another issue).</blockquote>
