    Anyone else sick of Connor being handed the ball in shotgun?

    Where is the I formation with a full back?

    Nix has a knee injury, they could use Grimble as a lead blocker I guess, he doesn't do anything else :shrug:.

    Doesn’t have to be a fullback then, WHY SHOTGUN!???? Makes no sense given Connor’s skill set.

    Once McDonald went down, and already without Nix, I think options were limited.

    We didn’t seem to see as many plays with both Connor and Samuels in though, which could have helped.

    I’m not a fan of shotgun runs, especially when we haven’t established either pass or run game.

    I am beginning to wonder also that Fichtner
    is a fraud just like Tomlin and DC? They all three are way over their heads.

    Yea Fichtner is terrible and is in way over his head and he along with Tomlin and Butler need to be gone. Tomlin can’t use not having Ben as an excuse for losing every game they do lose this year. Tomlin and Butler are still in charge of this defense that now has 8 first round picks starting on it. So they need to figure out how to put these guys in better positions to close these games out that they are winning late in the 4th quarter cause the Steelers going back to last year are absolutely pathetic at doing so. At what point does that fall back on both Butler and Tomlin for this continuing to be a major problem.

    Samuels played 14 snaps, and got no touches :facepalm:
