GREAT job DL EBEAU

Re: GREAT job DL EBEAU

Bottom line is the defense kept the Steelers in the game for close to 3 quarters despite 2 offensive turnovers.
Would I have liked to see them blitz the living snot out of Alex, like Balt did, o hell yea.
Even if we did, we still couldnt score on offense so in reality Lebeau is being blamed because the defense couldnt score points.
Last I checked, the offense and the young $$$$ crew were the ones suppossed to be doing all the scoring.
Maybe too many of these sauce players on offense or good ole Brucie is on the FN sauce is more like it....

It's bum sauce dude... gotta throw the bum in there to get the true sauce.

I was looking for the D to force a TO or spark the O since Ben had a bad leg and Harrison was out. I don't blame them for the loss but in a game where we needed the win and Ben was on 1 foot it would've been nice if they got a TO.

The O lost this game.... period

Me and you can share the non bum-type sauce anytime

Re: GREAT job DL EBEAU

On a night when you need a BIG TURNOVER and the D cordinator just sit back in a 10yd cushion and no pressure deffense.. I blame Lebeau. The offense is to blame also but with a hobbled Qb the D should have forced the issue.

Ok, I think i got it now.
So this week against the Rams if the defense struggles then we should rely on the offense to create a spark and actually score.

Re: GREAT job DL EBEAU

what i dont understand is why we never see the same scheme they used against the pats. why cant they play more man coverage? ive always thought ike is better in man and i think gay is better in man coverage as well. at least play a little of both and mix things up.

the defense overall played well monday night but the 10 yard cushions dont work when there is zero pressure on the qb. even colt mccoy played well up until he threw the pick to gay in the endzone. wouldnt it make sense if the same scheme is effective on the pats who have one of the best offenses in the nfl then it would be effective on most teams?

You can't bump and run Crabtree or Davis...

We had success vs the Pats because we finally switched our D up. I'm pretty sure they were expecting the same old D from Lebeau.

Gotta remember we played the Pats at home and were amped up, they were missing one of their TE's, Faulk was just coming off an injury and the midget RB was hurt.... and Ike locked up Welker. I think if you lock up Welker, Brady turns into a mediocre QB.

We tried to play tight vs the Rats and got burned... most teams have much better WR's then the Pats. The Pats are all about tempo. The Rats, SF and Houston all have RB's who can control the clock and pound it on us.

youre right the pats were expecting the same old 10 yard cushion zone blitz scheme from the steelers but dont you think every other team expects that too? im sure every team expects that scheme because its what the steelers do almost all of the time. im not saying its not effective, but when there is no pressure on the qb it doesnt work.

why cant you play man on davis and crabtree? you dont need to jam them at the line but you cant give them 10 yard cushions. davis is great but gronkowski is the best te in the nfl and man coverage was very effective on him.

all im saying is if a scheme isnt working in a game doesnt it make sense to make some adjustments and mix things up? i dont care what kind of scheme they play on defense or offense. all i care about is if its working or not. i think colt mccoy threw for around 250 yards on the steelers. thats way too many yards for a bum qb on the road and if it wasnt for the pick in the endzone that game is a lot closer.
