It just doesn't make any sense.
So anyway, the
Lindebaum is a outstanding run blocker who is a mediocre pass blocker, and that's absolutely the wrong way to be.
You want to be a great pass blocker who's a mediocre run blocker.
That has real value.
But the way Lindebaum is, you can't justify a top-of-the-market salary for that.
Even on PFS ledgers, he's right in the middle of 18th out of 32nd, I think, of the guys who played half the snaps in terms of his pass blocking score.
The people internal at PFF, by the way, would tell you, look at the separate blocking scores for the two things.

The other thing is that they don't weight penalties very well.
And Litterbaum is a guy who's somewhat penalty prone.
And very, very susceptible to large and long interior defensive linemen.
And so Dexter Lawrence gave him a lot of trouble when they played the Giants, for example.
But there's just lots of other guys, Vita Vea and others.

I like to see him, when you have a duo block going on, a double team going on,
