I was hoping that we wouldn't do the whole "play down to the competition" thing that the Steelers do so well.
I had the great displeasure of being at the Oakland game, talk about a long flight home.
If Jackson didn't play with an exceptional defense, he wouldn't be given a second thought.
How many times over the years have we heard that the Steelers would go more no huddle, only to stay with the same old same old. Let Ben run the show.
Yes I would.
This is what happens against a good d when your OC is terrible.
They were playing Jackson as if he had the ball every time early, but seemed to stop. He has to be hit whenever legal, and maybe once or twice a...
Heyward did nothing wrong, Jackson had both feet still in bounds. Terrible call.
Every time he runs an option, he needs to be hit. Assume he has the ball every time and knock the sh!! out of him.
What could this offense be with a top flight OC? And not to beat a dead horse, but Claypool has to be given a chance to make a play.
How does Claypool get totally ignored, he is a playmaker, throw it up and give him a chance.
Same old boring a$$ offense.
Does any team give up more third and long's than the Steelers?
Is there a more vanilla offense than the Steelers run? Fitchner is awful.
What passes for "roughing the passer" now days is ridiculous. They are protecting the QB to a degree that is hurting the game IMO.
Does Butler know that he is allowed to rush more than 4-5 at a time?
When you have a defensive coordinator with no guts and an offensive coordinator with no imagination, this is what you get.
I think this discussion is moot until we get an OC who one, knows how to get a TE open, and two has some imagination. IMO, the Steelers have the...
If one team does it they all will, it's the Drew Brees effect. No one will want to take the heat if they don't. But is would be a wasted gesture.
I wonder if he has ever told his children, "you must stand up to bullies", if so, he surely didn't heed his own advice. I lost respect for the man.
