As Miami enters its bye week, this is a perfect opportunity for us to evaluate how each Hurricane has played up to this point of the season, according to advanced metrics. And while Pro Football Focus (PFF) grades are not always completely reliable, they provide an objective assessment of every play and are usually a somewhat accurate representation of the quality of a player’s performance.
