Running straight at FAT BOY!

[Steelhere10]

The coaching staff can't be that dumb...

[Dee Dub]

He's actually doing his job and plugging his gap. It's the ILB behind him who isnt making the plays. Larry Foote is running free until he get's engulfed by a blocker. And this is the problem for the Steelers.

there is no gap that is 4 yards downfield

lol I agree.

It's laughable that you bash Hampton in one thread and defend Wallace in another.

[SidSmythe]

as much as I tried blaming Casey he's been holding his own. If you wanna blame anyone look at ZIGGY HOOD. On that TD RUN he got washed out of his gap leaving FOOTE wide open to be blocked.

Wallace produces. Count his numbers over the the last 3 years. Hampton don't , he don't even give effort. Should Ben money be taken, because he's not having a great game.

[Steelhere10]

Did you see that effort the last two plays ? Or lack of.

the Bengals had 21 rushes for only 80 yards, a 3.8 average.

Fat Boy must not have been doing too badly...

Actually it was Ziggy who was lined up at NT more during this game than Casey was.

I like Ziggy better at NT than I do at the 5 tech...

Now that Ta'amu went crazy, he may end up seeing more time there...

and this would be a great way to get Heyward on the field more also...

That doesn't tell the whole story though.
When their #1 Center was in the game, they ran just fine (i.e. first drive). The second half saw a light in the a$s backup, and I'm presuming that Hampton was able to control him.

Doesn't matter...

The Steelers ran just fine with their backup center in the game, too..

[feltdizz]

It DOES matter... we can't rely on every teams starting center getting hurt and a light in the a$$ backup replacing him so Halton can look half decent. Now if you mean it doesn't matter because we won this game then I agree... I feel no pity when a team has to use a backup but IMO Hampton shouldn't be out there as much this year.... and I've been a big Hampton fan for years.
