Camp Cupcake cause of slow start?

Camp Cupcakes? Nope.


This is the normal for every NFL team that has loaded rosters. Only reason why Cleveland was much better was due to factors:


1.) Cleveland is the youngest team in the league. Young guys need all the reps they can get in preseason.


2.) Pittsburgh did more to keep Cleveland in than what Cleveland did to keep the game close. Double digit penalties and nearly 150 yards worth will keep any team in; Cleveland or otherwise.

 

I blame it on our DB play . I think our O pretty much hands it to our pass D .Our QB'S had a bunch of TD'S and very few picks. Our Safety spot had none.IMO this leads Haley, Ben and the rest of cast to believe that they are a lot better than what they really are .

I think Haley thinks he can call anything and it will work . It takes our Team time to realize that they must get better and is why I blame our poor D for our poor start each year.

IMO we need to bring in some other Team to scrimmage against I think that would help us a bunch . They could still red shirt the QB , but it would allow our WR'S to get real work and allow Haley to develop better game plans in a better way .

 

I think it is a legitimate question, it's hard to assimilate game speed if you don't get much preseason reps.
Have to find a happy medium.

 

AB didn't play much in the preseason, it didn't seem to affect his play. Tomlin did the right thing not playing his starters too much.

 

Most players do not have the work ethic or the God given talent that AB has. They need more reps.

 

Hey, we want the starters to play more in the preseason games and we got it. Starters played all 4 quarters in the 5th preseason game against Cleveland. Now we can start playing the real teams.

 

5 days after a win and some Steelers fans are still complaining.

 

I dunnno KC looked pretty damn good

 

Camp cupcake is pretty much a mandate with the current CBA. Two a days are history.

 

Most of the other teams aren't playing their starters in preseason either so get over it .

 

They looked better than the pats but hung in just enough to will a win while getting fortunate opportunities and breakdowns to exploit. Hunt played out of his mind and carried that offense, secondary shut down pats depleted wrs, hill got a td on a breakdown in coverage. Good for them and hats off on s@$!ting on the pats theatrical dynasty flashback party.

 

You can be better but you can't do better than be 2-0
