    Is there any other run play? Jesus all the run plays we do is up the gut. Is BA dead set against using Toss play or a misdirection or some sorta outside run play? BTW i didn't recall any WR screen plays last night.

    I thought I was the only one that seen that. Can we run behind Starks and Essex once and a while. We run the same running play a thousand times. that's the same play the cause Mendenhall to fumble in the Superbowl. Yeah, he should of held onto the ball, but Green Bay, telegraph that play and was there before Mendenhall got there. The same thing happen last night. We ran that pulling guard play 50 times last night. Foster can't pull to the left? SMDH!

    Look, I like Tomlin as HC... but I don't buy that, "There are no O-Line problems" bit that he likes to sell.

    This O-Line is ill-equipped to support the run. They rarely create gaps. They probably run up the middle because Pouncey is usually there and probably creates some kind of seam?

    O-Line needs work... at best. Once the opposing defensive front catches on to the weakness... it's bull-rush city, and the Steelers backfield is dancing with the stars...

    Yea some of this stuff could easily make a Letterman top 10 list couldn't it LOL! For as long as there's been football it's a known fact that games are won and lost in the trenches. It don't make a damn what fancy scheme you wanna try and run, how much you try and outsmart your opponent or how many superstar backs, receivers and QBs you wanna insert. If your big boys up front can't win their individual battles with the big boys across from them you're gonna lose. Simple as that. I agree with everything you're saying.

    Could you see any of the following starting on any other team:
    Essex
    Legursky
    Kemo
    Foster
    They strike fear in know one. I would keep the Florida Boys (Starks, Pouncey, Gilbert) but everybody else would be on notice. Maybe Legursky just as a backup center.
