I lost a bet about Najee gaining 1300 yards.
"Our head coach has failed to win a playoff game for seven years in a row. His game day strategy, culture of divas, in game decisions, clock management, player evaluation, hires, and affinity with sub par starters at RB, P, and OL are holding the Steelers back. That standard remains the standard"
Ben is the best when he breaks the pocket.. He isn't the best roll out passer or bootleg passer.... they are 2 different things. How the hell would Ben get outside the pocket if you roll it... if anything you cut off half the field rolling him out and give the D a break.Originally Posted by Mister Pittsburgh
We tried to run bootlegs but they didn't work.. the unblocked guy didn't bite on the fake and it was an easy sack. Maybe Ben didn't sell it enough...
Jake the Snake was a great bootleg passer.

Because our defense let up 13 points against them. Our offense had to throw it every down to even stay in the game!!!!!!!!!!!Originally Posted by birtikidis

How sad, that an "insider" publication (and one I used to read regularly) has fallen to become nothing but another retread. That assessment of us is what the casual fan might say about the Steelers, and their traditionally style of ball.
ANYONE who has watched us with any insight can tell you that that assessment simply does not apply to this team.
I wasn't hired for my disposition.
exactly.. it's like someone peaked into an old trib thread and gave an assessment.Originally Posted by Shoe
They spoke on Austin in Dallas but said nothing about Wallace. They didn't say a word about Holmes, Heath or Hines either. Idiots.

I don't remember too many either, but I do agree with his assessment. Just because Ben breaks big plays when he breaks the pocket doesn't necessarily make him an effective rollout passer. It the fact that when he breaks the pocket and gets out of containment, he buys extra time and the play gets extended, allowing recievers to find openings.

In 2008 we ran what appeared to be a play action bootleg but the DE never bit and by the time Ben turned he was dead in the water. It never worked but we ran it a lot. It always left Ben one on one with a DE or LB who didn't bite on it. It was a terrible play and thank goodness we scrapped it.

The bootleg worked when we had a run game that opponents feared.
