Reason to be excited about the offense

Well I hope we not in trouble , but Ben stated that his daughter was helping him a month or so back.. Ben probably never knew what Defenses he was facing until about 3 seasons ago..He knew how to identify the Strong and weak LB and slide protection for the most part,although the Ravens got him mad confused for years and Suggs would come free often and light him up..Even BA had statements about how Ben didn't like to study film and be Coached to much ,the older Ben knows he must do much better in that regard if he intends to survive the season...

 

If Ben goes school yard then we will see Mason or Haskins really quick ..His body can't take it he best call runs use PA and throw the ball away when the release clock is up.. If he plays 1 game not doing this his chances of finishing that game behind a new OL are very slim...

 

Wrong again. I already explained this back when I was the one who predicted they would use the toe injury to stash him on the injured reserve. The reasoning is simple. Never give up a potential asset until you have to do so, even if that asset is worth much. If something happens to one of the three quarterbacks who beat out Dobbs this year, they have a cheap option who knows the system. It isn't some great value to the organization.

To put it another way. Imagine you have four envelopes in your pocket. Three of them have $10,000 in them. The fourth has $1 in it. You thought you could only keep three envelopes, so of course, you were going to keep the ones with $10,000. Then you find out you can keep the one with $1 in it without losing the much more valuable ones. Do you keep the $1? Of course, you do. It's not a perfect analogy, but it's the best I can do at 6:30 a.m.

 

Not sure what’s to be excited about with this unit besides maybe Najee. However if the OLine is as bad as it appears Najee won’t be able to find any running room.

 

My Friend....what's 2 be excited about ....is We are the Steelers, with a game Sunday against a Good team. If We lose We have 16 more games 2 go. If We win ....Great start with 16 more games 2 Go. That's enough 2 get me excited.

 

Not so much instruction as much as feedback. When Ben walks off the field, especially when he screws up, it’s Dobbs he goes to talk to.

 

Joshua Dobbs: the Stuart Smalley of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

 

Ben isn't the most cerebral QB out there, but I don't know why he has a reputation of not being able to read coverages.

I'm thinking about the divisional game against Denver in 2015.
Playing in Denver (huge home field advantage) against the #1 seed after the brutal Bengals game (Burfict attacking Ben's throwing arm after the whistle), going up against one of the best (pass) defenses, without their #1 WR, #1 RB, or #2 RB. (And without Pouncey at Center.)
He has to have at least some identifying ability to put up the numbers he did in that situation.

 

He reads a D fine. The saying He doesn't is
All You have 2 do is watch tape 2 see He does. Does He make mistakes of course, but I've yet 2 see a Qb that doesn't.
When You see rollout Usually that's for Qbs that can't read a field, or 2 get them off the spot on a particular play.
A lot will say they love rollout because they are used in College a lot,but there is a reason for that, and I would guess many know why. 2 many complete rolling out cuts half Your field off. Which means Your Reads are easier, but when that's all You can do ...it also makes it easier on the D.

 

Okay Debbie Downer

 

The beautiful thing about NFL handicapping is that it rarely works out the way you think. Maybe this offense will be great. We find out soon

 

The leftwich method.

I think Dobbs has an eye but to suggest he is needed is a bit of a leap ... off the edge

 

Over under on how many games ( based on 17 ) najee has and avg carry over 3.3?

 

My point still holds. He is there because it makes no sense to give up a potential asset until it is necessary. I don't see a "they" in that article. I see Canada saying nice things about one of his own players. That doesn't come close to supporting the ridiculous idea that the 39-year-old future Hall-of-Fame quarterback entering his 18th season somehow needs the knowledge of a scrub with 17 career passing attempts in the NFL. By all means, keep deluding yourselves regarding Dobbs.

 

MUUUUTTTHHH! I'm excited for him today, get in the redzone.

 

Can't believe I'm about to remotely even somewhat align with anything written by scribe... but... I just don't see Dobbs as an NFL caliber QB. Smart guy and by all accounts a Super nice kid, but come on man!

 

Ok, got ya. Guess I should have read through all the thread. I do agree with what you are saying and that he should be cut. For the reason you mentioned plus he just isn't an NFL caliber QB.

lol

 

After that first half I'm not so excited about the offense but it's early.
