Well, their top 2 WR's were Moss and Welker. When Donte "Nicco" Stallworth came into the game as a 3rd WR, Brady's passer rating dropped significantly. I'm glad the Browns are counting on this alien-possessed wideout as a starter.Originally Posted by frankthetank1
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
That's why you splash the pot with it sporatically. It doesn't become the mainstay of your O but seeing it...no huddle 4-5 wide should be in the game plan 2-3 times a game.Originally Posted by sd steel

And let me add something here. I have been saying this for awhile now. A good O IMO should/can show all sorts of looks...3TE sets....dual back shotgun sets, 5 wide, Tall Wr sets etc and so on. When you can do all this well...you can exploit EVERY teams weakness instead of just being able to handle 80% of the teams. If I were coaching...I would want my team to be as versatile as possible. This assures your team that you can game plan around any teams weakness.

Exactly...our division weakness revolves around poor secondarys...why on this green earth wouldn't you exploit that with Ben and our WR crew?Originally Posted by Jom112

Because that's not Steelers football.Originally Posted by ShawnMedGuy
I also get the impression that this is "total passes".Originally Posted by ShawnMedGuy
I can't imagine that Ben averaged over 6.25 passes per game in each of those formations....

If you try to be too versatile and always game plan around another team's weakness you run the risk of not doing those that your team does best (whatever that may be). I'm a supporter of versatility, but, only to the degree that the players' skills allow. I think in a few games last year the Steelers tried exploiting a weakness on the other team, the problem was, the Steelers didn't really have the personnel to do this.Originally Posted by ShawnMedGuy
