Predict the First Steeler Play on Offense

If the Steelers start on their own 25 or better..I see a quick out to Diontae J.

The optimist in me is hoping that this a fast ball to set up a curve or double move for later in the game.

I guess Ben will have to see if the CB plays off or not but an audible on the first play is a bit much. lol

Thoughts?

 

I'm gonna guess it will be the "Annexation of Puerto Rico"

 

And you didn't even have to buy a vowel.

 

It worked for Rick Moranis, why not?

 

Ben Roethlisberger comes out of the huddle, goes under center, then lines up in shotgun formation pointing to his wideouts to his right.

With the defense spread out, Ben snaps the ball with 4 seconds left on the play clock, fake handoffs to Harris, followed by a misdirection fake with his eyes to his left, followed by a 2 yard pass to Harris on the right hash for a gain of 2 yards.

2 and 8 on their own 27 yard line.

 

You know I can actually see this. I like to think that during the game if the weather is not a factor...that the Steelers spread the D out to have the pass open up for the run later in the game as long as they dont get freakishly behind early.

 

Ben lines up in the shotgun. Center snaps the ball over his head. He and RB stare at the ball as it bounces towards the end zone.......Hey, it could happen!

 

Booooo!!!!!
I never want 2 see that again.

 

5 wide. TD to Claypool.

 

We must have been separated at birth - I was going to say exactly the same thing but with the redemption statement that Pouncey has left the building.

 

I saw a lot of the same offense last game as last year. Very short passing over and over. Maybe because the Bills have a good defense. But that ain't gonna cut it all year.

 

muth deep for 6. take that waller.

 

Yeah, but what direction will Ben's foot be pointing.

 

Hey diddle diddle, Najee up the middle.

 

Ben lines up in the shotgun, takes the snap, then throws a "surprise" long bomb down the side to Dionte.

 

I hope we win coin toss and kick to Raiders. They 3 and out.

I'm about 95% sure our very first play will be a simple hand off to Najee for 2-3 yards.

 

Fake handoff to Najee.... jet sweep by Claypool.

 

Much smarter play then what I'm thinking. Raiders will be expecting the hand off to najee for the first play.

 

I feel that they will open up with a bomb to either Claypool or Johnson as other have indicated.

 

Run off tackle by Najee. Ben under center

 

A Najee run to nowhere, it doesn't have to be successful. Keep pounding the ground Popcorn.

 

PA pass TE down the seam for a gain of 35 yards, then PA quick slant to DJ gain of 15 yards, run by Harris 6 yards ball in now on the 14 PA pass TE TD in the back of endzone down the seam again..

 

yea that was more of what i was leaning towards.

 

This. Or a shotgun PA quick slant route.
