My thoughts on regular season week 10

I love the aggressiveness that Tomlin is pushing this year. Going for it on 4th downs, not being gun shy, playing to win!

Also love seeing a few trick plays. The last few years, the only trick plays we did is when Canada called a play and the offense changed it, tricking Canada.....lol. they are not always going to work, but they are game changers when they do.

 

I think Patrick Queen had a pretty great game today. Been waiting for that to take shape.

 

I keep telling myself aging will slow me down watching the Steelers but I stopped sitting down midway through the 3rd quarter and could not stop pacing. I ducked behind the couch when bad things are happening.

 

Highsmith will be out a few, that sucks.

Cam is just amazing.....STILL

Pattie Q had his BEST game here.

love your quick reactions each week - I concur 99.9% of the time!!!

JPeezy Jr. better get is head out of his azzzzz. He reads too many press clippings.

Russ kept throwing it up there, ONE was bound to connect!!! or a PI down field....

 

I noticed that thru the game. But he gashed us with the TE all day. LAMAR is coming, so are their 2 KILLER TE's - get ready D, get ready.

Daniels missed some WIDE OPEN guys, sprinting down field.

Yes - we DODGED some bullets on D

 

Great win and agree with most here, however about the offense why does take so long to realize that Harris does not have the burst today and dancing again too much. The worst two plays in our playbook is the I formation with Heywood at fullback this hardly ever works, the defensive know that Harris is getting the ball and we are running and pack it in, with this formation Muth is even not on field.

No.2 please remove the Harris toss sweep, I wish I had the stats on that play because it rarely works, maybe 2 times out of 20.

Muth was finally used at the goal as he should but could use Washington there also. Those high deep passes don't work with Calvin because he is too small and does not fight for the ball like the others. He is okay when open and uses his speed. Great call from Tomlin to have Williams in there near the end instead of Calvin because he is 6'4 or 5" and that's his specialty. Great game overall.

 

Probably why he plays defense...LOL

 

When he caught it, he had the line to gain, but his own momentum carried him back to being short. Add to the fact that the ball was essentially behind him ( meaning he was facing the wrong direction due to coming back for the ball ) once he was touched down since his knee was on the ground already, I think the spot was fair and accurate. He doesnt get forward progress because he moved backwards on his own. At least thats how I saw it.

 

I think its because Russ is so short he cant see over the line to the middle of the field, I think he has better vision to the sidelines....once again, just my opinion.

 

his best of the year

 

Williams was in there at the end because Austin was injured, Russell said Williams didn't know the play he just told him to run a go route.

 

How did your knees feel when you tried to get up?

 

Yes, Queen had his best game as a Steeler by far, he was all over the field. Sometimes it takes awhile for a guy to figure things out with a new team, and it seems like he has. Hope he can keep it up.

 

TJ had zero tackles???

 

you know you can say whatever you want about AB but that kick to the face mask was the best hurdling move I've ever seen

 

Might have been addressed already but Highsmith was jumping up and down enjoying the team celebrating the win in the dressing room. Hopefully means that ankle is not bad.

 

My thought on the game. Listening to Charles Davis commentating was unbearable.

BTW. Any injury updates on Highsmith and Jackson?

 

No sacks either. They were chipping him, double teaming him, and holding him the whole game. He did block a pass attempt, and had a couple pressures though.
