Arians' Brilliance

Re: Arians' Brilliance

Normally you'd think that anyone could outthink Arians. But we are talking about BA here so...

Re: Arians' Brilliance

The words Arians and brilliance do not belong in the same sentence.

Bruce Arians' lack of brilliance is evident and causing the Steelers' offense to struggle. Arians and brilliance seem perfectly normal to me in that sentence. :P Just sayin...

Touche' Pappy!

You have to have fun, it's good to see the board alive with people throwing their 2 cents in on this year's team, even though the year is off to a rocky start.

Re: Arians' Brilliance

I'm gonna say it again.

just for starters....B.A. needs to scrap this NO BACKS garbage

they go No Backs. I tell my son, "Great! here comes the blitz"
Ben takes a shot from behind (on an imcomplete pass).
With this O-line we need 2 people in the backfield at all times

I think it might work now and then if our receivers read the hot route AND TURNED AROUND EARLY TO LOOK FOR THE BALL!!!

Who coaches that? Or in this case, ISN'T coaching that? Because if I am noticing that, it must be happening a lot.

One of Chuck Noll's legacy is that he was a teacher of men. He could get into the fray with any position or player and make them better.

I would like to see this with Tomlin.

At this point I would like to see anything from Tomlin

Well said. I bet he just upholds the standard and unleashes hell.

I'm starting to lose faith in Tomlin. He's been less than impressive in regards to player and coach personnel decisions. He's spineless and his "standards", "unleash hell" and his other repetitive cliches are really getting old.

And to stay on topic... Arians should have been fired years ago. Again, Tomlin is too spineless to pull the trigger.

Re: Arians' Brilliance

Arians did adjust. They did go to some quick passes in the second half.

Why won't they go no huddle to help slow down the D?

I think our receivers lack the ability to get open. The Texans consistently had 8-9 people on the LOS and played only basic man to man coverage on the corners the whole game. They manned up. The Steelers wilted.

Sorry, I don't buy it. I think Wallace, Sanders, and Brown have more than enough speed quickness to get open quickly.

If it's the WR/QB not being on the same page then that's a different problem altogether. Arians, Ben and the WRs need to be working overtime to make sure they ARE on the same page. Ben is a vet, Wallace is a 3rd year guy, and Brown/Sanders are second year guys. I don't see how that is not corrected by now.

Not open enough to Ben's liking. The receivers usually have to be really open for him to fire it in there. He is not a Brady or Manning when it comes to threading the needle and allowing the receiver to make a play for the ball. It's just one reason Ben holds the ball so long. He's so darn competitive I suppose, that he has to be 100% sure the receiver is open (or wide open for that matter).

He seemed to throw to a spot on numerous occassions yesterday as opposed to throwing to an open man (he was throwing to where his receiver was supposed to be, but the young receiver didn't realize that he was supposed to be the hot route when the blitz was coming from his side).

Agreed. I noticed that. I think Ben is learning and the Steelers O did make some adjustments during the game.
