Is the jet sweeps play has too much hate?

    Because the offense was bad as whole that means a particular play was bad as well?

    no, means it means we, like the rams, didn’t know when and how to use that play.

    5.5 yards per attempt says otherwise

    Yeah, but how often do these jet sweeps obtain a 1st down? Seems like these plays almost always end up 1-3 yards short of the sticks. Punt. Rinse and repeat.

    That's a solid point. Timing matters. 5.5 yards on 1st down is quite different than 5.5 on a 3rd and 10 when the defense is expecting a pass.
    As others have said, my issue isn't with the play itself, just the timing of it sometimes.

    So you’re going to complain about running plays that average 5.5ypc? Seriously instead of making up something how about you do the homework and determine how many times they ended up 1-3 yards short of the sticks and also what down

    I was thinking the same thing, or at least it didn't happen that often, but I couldn't find proof.

    Even if it was second and long it never was called at the right time

    It created 3rd and long and then they tried it again the next play.

    I’d rather have the Steelers ranked higher in total offense than share the highest yards per attempt jet sweep with the bottom dwelling rams.

    it’s not a bad play in of itself, but if your arguing it’s proof that Canada knew what he was doing, I think your very wrong there.

    This can be a tough crowd around here (myself included). Good thing though - you'll stop hating your 5th grade teacher so much and begin hating a few around here even more. :thumbs up:

    Thank you - doesn't show as well as the full size capture. It's my complaint avatar showing the horrible backdrop I had to observe each day this past winter where I escaped to from the barren desert from my previous existence.
