Good read on the red zone failure and coordinator/player faults

Guy fell into a pot of gold twice. Lets see if he can keep it from becoming a pot of ****.

 

The funny thing is that when he was in Indy Luck was the most sacked qb. I think he also led the league in INT's. Peyton did the same under BA. I've not seen the sack numbers this year in AZ. I just always felt like BA's system was a real danger to Ben because of all the Mike Martz vertical stuff. His system and our crappy line was just a recipe for disaster and I've always thought the Rooney's must have felt the same. I would kill to know Tomlin's true opinion of his "retiring".

 

10 sacks
0 int
0 fumbles by the 3 qbs who have played this season
avg more points /gm than us

 

Cancer patients can still live relatively normal lives many times. According to Bruce Arians himself, he would regularly talk to Pagano about team matters.

And Indy hadn't done anything because they they had just drafted Andrew luc .

BA has fallen into two very good situations. Let's see if he can keep it up. I have my doubts.

 

Ben is Favre like in that regard. Capable of amazing plays and really bone-headed ones. For some reason, Aaron Rodgers is getting like that as well.

 

I think you're right. Quarterbacks who do well in the red zone are typically very methodical and rhythmic in their approach. Ben is more frenetic. He runs around like a mad man, pump fakes 23 times before each throw and that isn't conducive to red zone success. You've got the make the decision and BAM! Throw the ball! He's made some great plays scrambling around when his receivers have a lot of green to work with, but in the jumbled mess of the red zone, not so much.

 

My wife was diagnosed with Breast cancer about 6 weeks ago. She is going through Chemo right now.
It's no picnic let me tell you. She is mostly in bed starting a few days after treatment, then it slowly is getting better only to have to do it all over in a couple weeks. She is able to work from home after the peak of the Chemo side effects have passed. Tough situation to say the least.

 

best of luck to you and your wife glenn. that's tough to deal with my friend. tell her to keep fighting, as well as you.

 

Sorry to hear that man, that's tough. Be her rock and try to keep both of ya positive.

 

Sorry to hear that, Glenn. My mother-in-law is a nearly 40 year breast cancer survivor. Will be praying for you and your wife as you fight this together.

 

Best wishes. Chemo is horrid, but it works.

 

The article seems to hint that the Steelers don't have the horses to run the schemes designed by the coaches. These coaches aren't stupid, I think. You would think they would tailor the scheme to the players they have. Or maybe they are waiting for players to mature into the scheme they have devised, but I think that takes too long.

 

HMMMMMMMMM! sounds familiar doesn't it?

 

Thanks for the concern guys, sorry to have derailed this thread.
Again thanks!

 

Sorry to know Glenn your wife has breast cancer. Everything will be fine. You'll see. Stay strong for your wife . All the best

 

I really hate to hear about that cancer diagnosis. Prayers for sure. They've made a lot of advancements in the cancer field and there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic. I met with a man just a few weeks ago with colon cancer and it was his 2nd battle with it. He is in his 70s but I heard just this morning they were able to get it. There is plenty of hope for people with cancer. I hope if I ever get it I can be as brave as some of the people that I've seen fight it. Hang in there.

 

My mamaw, thankfully, has been cancer free for 25yrs now. Just last week at Disneyworld I saw an older lady with a little button that said "I'm Celebrating A Cancer Free Husband" and I just walked up to her and said "That's really great!" She had the most peaceful look on her face and said "thank you". I guess when people get that diagnosis it is sorta like the moon landing or something. Just one of those moments that for the rest of your life you remember where you were when you heard. I bet the same is true for when you get the news you are cancer free as well.

 

Stay strong. Prayers for you and yours.

 

Best wishes to you and your family.

 

I never claimed Pagano was the coach, just the he would talk to BA regularly about team matters. That's from BA's own mouth during an interview on SiriusXM. My bigger point is that BA came into a situation and only had to maintain what was already there. He changed nothing and instead maintained the plan that was already in effect. He had Andrew Luck as his QB. That's a perfect scenario for an OC who has to take over.
