The full breakdown
Darrisaw's 66.3 overall grade reflects a steady baseline erased by high-impact negative plays. In pass protection (66 grade), he consistently mirrored counter moves, yet he gave up two catastrophic sacks on sudden inside counters at Q2 00:47 and Q3 06:49. His run blocking (65 grade) followed a similar pattern, opening strong with an emphatic seal on Montez Sweat at Q1 14:54 before struggling to sustain second-level blocks (Q1 04:33) and reach edge defenders on outside tosses (Q2 09:56, Q4 05:41).
