Is this game a 8 in the box both ways ?

After watching the last game vs. Denver both Teams got destroyed in zone coverage..Both Teams had plenty of busted coverage . Now you add in the Health status of Ben and Brown , I have no doubt that Denver will be 8 in the box...

Then I look at the arm strength of Manning and the way they gashed our zone Defense then I really see the Steelers playing with 8 in the box...

If this happens and I think it will this game will come down to who makes more big runs and who makes more big passes . I don't see either Team being able to establish the run..I don't see either Team being able to establish the pass either .. This means ST'S will be huge to establish field position the Team that does that will get more shots at the big play..

I hope the Steelers take those shots after any turnover, once they cross mid field, on 1st. down , and yes on 3rd. and 4th. and short ...

To me this game looks simple the Team that plays the most aggressive and controls the field position will win the game .. This will be a game where a good punt and great punt coverage is a great play, I hope Ben and Haley win that battle and allow Manning to make that crucial mistake and not us..

 

Denver never plays 8 in the box on D. They might bring up a 8th to confuse the offense that a uncovered Blitzer is coming, but they never send it. Their LB core are all fast...like faster then Shazier fast....they will stop the edge running that we like to do. That is why Deangelo was horrible in that first game.

 

Indubitably

 

Who is faster than Shazier in that LB core, have a hard time believing that

 

Marshall and Von Miller are both Lightning rods speed wise. Miller I know ran a sub 4.4 forty. Marshall was close to that as well. And Ware, although a little slower now is still very quick side to side.

 

they arent faster than shazier lol

 

Shazier ran a 4.38 at his Pro Day.

 

Peyton arm ain't what it use to be but he can still throw to spots. Just throws it earlier. We play 8 in box the headlines next week are peyton is back cause he will pick us apart. We are gonna have to disguise alot

 

LOL! All due respect but Ohio State players run on a super fast Rubber track. I remember former WR Jeff Graham was recorded as having run a 4.05 forty on his pro day

LOL. Ohio State pro day times are a historical Joke. I remember Jeff Graham was credited with a 4.05 forty time.

 

Shazier ran a 4.38 at the combine. Miller was a 4.49. Still great speed for a LB. Didn't mean to hijack the thread

 

You loved my post so much you decided to respond 2 different ways.

 

Unrelated but thread title made me think of this:

Hey look it's a dick (Burfict) in the box

 

Attack and lets see what happens.

 

**** it, let's just run the single wing all day.

 

Boswell's range should be greatly increased in the thin air in this game, he should be money at mile high.....

 

I remember seeing that and thinking "Wow, that's a LB?"

Shamarko's 40 wasn't as graceful.

 

Lol. I'm just glad he didn't tackle the timekeeper or something.
