Are our first bunch of plays scripted?

Anyone know if our first several series of plays are scripted? I know a few years ago this was a common practice. The reason I ask is that lately the Steelers have been doing pretty well at the beginning of games (a good game plan), and then fall flat. I don't know if this dropoff is motivational or the opponents are adapting (we don't adapt, or we adapt badly). Maybe they should script the whole game.

 

Ha!

"Let's see... So then we'll have Foster get beat on the inside and have Ben get sacked, but should he fumble this one? No, have him hang onto that one. Let's make it... minus 6 yards. That was third down, wasn't it, so we'll kick a field goal. It's under 40, so Suisham will make it."

"Okay, where were we... There's 9:43 left in the 3rd, and it's time for Pouncey to get hurt. Legs is already out, so we'll put Trai in at Center. Shoot, I forgot we wanted to have Kemo hurt his knee in the 4th. Can J. Scott play guard? Go ask him."

They might as well.

 

Presumably Scott replies: "Can I get caught holding every other play at guard as well? Then I'm in!"

 

Another script, or rather a transcript of Ben in the huddle:

"Ok, it's third and two, and I got the play over the headset, but it was a running play, and I don't want to do that. So, wide receivers, five wide and go deep. When the pocket collapses after .5 seconds, I'll scramble around and get sacked. And for goodness sake, when I fumble, please someone fall on it. I don't want this to look like it is my fault. Then we'll do it all again next down and be sure we are out of field goal range."

At least that is what is seems like sometimes.

 

Will Matt Canada script the first several plays?

I’m guessing heavy with Najee.

A couple throws to PF and DJ.

 

Holy Necroposting Batman. What brought this up lol

 

Nope. Mitch will go out there in a no huddle calling plays from his North Carolina playbook.

 

is that you yeti? yes they are scripted. take the ball and score a TD. it should be that script the whole game.

 

Not to brag but I've been predicting our plays calls for over 20 years.

 

So is why we throw a 60yr bomb on 3rd and inches?

 

My biggest issue with tomlin. If the gameplan ain't working he can't or won't adapt.

 

I believe the first ten plays or so are scripted or at least that’s what has been eluded to by the coaching staff over the years.

 

I read this without checking the date and got severely confused by a TTF and HugeSnack sighting in one thread.

 

LOL, I noticed it was an option to chose the last page of threads. So, I did. Funny how some of those posts are just as relevant today

 

sandscript

 

If this thread has taught me anything it’s that the Steelers are still awful at in game adjustments as 2011. I suppose their is a common denominator however

 

I always questioned drafting Cam Heyward.

 

Please tell me you forgot the green font.

 

The fourth play is scripted.
They know right now they’re gonna punt.

 

It’s better than turning the ball over

 

Same as I've heard, also I've never heard of a modern NFL team not scripting the 1st ten , or more plays. Of course many things could happen in that time ,and make You have 2 throw that stuff away.

 

Ben was QB?

 

Maybe in the fourth quarter.The steelers have score 47% of their points in the fourth quarter last year
