Shoutout to Ike Taylor!

Ike Taylor played as well against AJ Green as anyone. Even in Ike's last few years when he was a bit past his prime he still had solid performances.

In 3 of 6 of their meetings Green was held to 42 or fewer yards and was twice held to one catch.

Yesterday Green had 11 catches for 119 yards and a TD.

The secondary played well as a whole not trying to knock them. It just illustrates how good Green is and how well Ike used to cover him. Taylor matched up well athletically with tall athletic receivers.

Just wanted to remember the best Steelers corner since Woodson who I sometimes feel was underrated.

 

I think the Steelers tried to limit Eifert a lot more, with more safety help. Which is why Green had a bigger day. Don't forget he had one big 50 yard catch along the sideline, in which he made a great catch, and Cockrell couldn't have defended it much better than he did.
