Claypool

Why would the Steelers keep their most dangerous weapon out of the game. Barely played in 2nd half. That makes no sense.

I am sure Washington thanks us

 

If you get answer for it let me know. Want to know why the force feed DJ the ball, keep a clear tell like Ebron in, shotgun 80%of the time. The best RT is playing LG and the best run blocking guard is riding the bench but we do have the McRib back.

 

I hope Claypool is not hitting the rookie wall. BTW, if they want to keep their best in the game, take Ebon out and put in J. Washington

 

Why is Vance McDonald not involved anymore in the passing game?

 

Did anyone see the stat on Ben throwing downfield 22% completion rate , maybe that's why Claypool sat.

I was sick of this dink n dunk last year but could understand why they did it but didn't expect it this year.

What was the final rush to pass 13 to 46.

 

I heard he had his hands amputated so he couldn't hold while blocking. I haven't seen a ball thrown his way since early Oct.

 

He's the blocking TE now

 

He's the only one who can catch. Droptimous Prime isn't getting it done

 

Well they best unchain his hands

 

Who do you take off the field to get McD in? Juju? DJ? Claypool? Ebron? Washington?

 

Ebron. And when he is in throw it to him!

 

I saw a couple plays where I thought he was open, but Ben never looked his way.

 

Agree and just want to add, why throw to your non athletic tackle at the goal line. Why on 4 and 1 you throw downfield to your smallest running back who hasn't played down field much. Why is Samuel even playing. Why no have Ray Ray play receiver some instead of throwing to the tackle or running backs. Why not run your receivers on end arounds if you can't run up the middle with your backs.

 

Ray Ray is our jet sweep, but we stopped running jet sweeps

 

Looks to me Ben doesnt even survey the field most of the time anymore, Thinking he has already decided were he is going with the ball b4 the snap

 

This is what leads me to believe Ben's arm is hurting. They are relegating him to the dink and dunk passes because he cannot hit the long ball. This is basically the offense they put in place for Mason last year to be a game manager. The only difference is he didn't have the talent Ben does this year.

 

Scoring had only been a problem the last two games. No reason to panic. It's a slump for sure, but no reason to panic.

 

Why? You don't want to throw a fade route, to a 5'8" RB...On the games most crucial play... They'll never suspect it!

 

I'm hoping the "next man up" philosophy applies to coordinators too.

 

apparently Mcfarland did not expect it either

 

Throwing to a Guard is the answer!

 

Why don't you do a double TE set and sneak Vance out for a route.

It just boggles my mind he isn't even an option anymore?



ALSO, wasn't Derek Watt a pass catcher when he was with Chargers? I can't speak to his run blocking, but I thought he ran and caught the ball a little out there, to some degree of success, on the West Coast?

 

Agree, on that pass to Ju Ju that almost got intercepted where he was between Bostic and the safety, no question Ben had his mind he was throwing to Ju Ju on that play.

 

Vance was wide open and actually ran a good route on a critical third down that Ben threw to Juju in double coverage. Would have been easy first down. Ben used to just look for Antonio Brown . Now he’s trying the same with DJ but DJ hands are very suspect.

 

All good questions except for the last one...why does not being able to run up the middle matter when you run an end around? You are running the end arounds because you can't run up the middle.
