I have just about had it...

There is Big Ben tall WR 6'7" Mike Adams....

what a pathetic play-design...to they practice such crap???Haley is a joke...I would have canned him in OAK itself...

I hope Ben gets traded to Arizona...gives him a chance to win 1 more SB.

Great post Crash....

Where is the crowd who said Ben does not study pictures...In hiding i guess...

If WOODLEY was responsible why did he hesitate during the fake?? I don't care what this article says.

I still blame Woodley too. The whole defense was on the other side to make the play if it went to the RB. I think at least 5 guys coulda made the tackle for little gain if McFadden had the ball.

Woodley should have only crashed the RB if he was sure he had the ball. I think that was the hesitation. And I think he screwed the pooch on the play.

Free crash!

Nice post by crash there.

That was Haley's trick play I guess. What if it had worked? Low percentages and all. It would require Ben to throw very quickly though..

Look... Last season, when I herd we hired Hailey as our OC, I was very excited. Living in AZ for most of my life, I had been a little bit familiar with him when he was with the cardinals and saw how their offense could score and put up yards. Then when he went to KC, we saw that team make the playoffs in a short period of time under his reign there. Now, however, as I look what is happening to Pittsburgh, and what happened in KC and in AZ as well, I see this guy has a very short fuse of success. Everyone around him seems to be disengaged and its becoming apparent that he is not the right fit. My buddy, who is from Kansas city and who has lived there most his life, warned me before this season that he would ruin any good going on and we would all be yelling for his head soon enough... I laughed at the time and actually believed that he was a good coach and thought ben would have one of his best years of his career so far.... man I know there are other issues going on other than just coaching.. but hailey blows, flat out fvcking blows...I am still a hopeless optimist however when it comes to my Pittsburgh sports teams... I still want a winner in us with whoever it may be....

56 is the closest defender to Pryor, how in the frig is he not responsible for Pryor???? 56 wasn't even blocked!! I think its foolish to think that it's 94 responsibility since he's 10 yards off the LOS, and a blocker to shed. Again the defensive call there was asinine!! Steelers-Depot just trying to save 56 azz, for what reason I don't know?? There is no doubt that Haley's play-calling, and playbook is sucking azz, but 7 has to be accountable. It's 7 who is playing...if I'm 7, I'm rolling friggin heads on the sideline!! Is it just me, or do I see Marcia Brady yelling at everybody!! He refuses to lose! My comments about 7, "not wanting to win", mainly speak of his lack of intensity! I don't see any intensity before, during or after the games. His post-game PC is the same every time the team loses...blah blah, we didn't do enough, blah blah, we didn't catch the ball, blah blah, we didn't block good enough, blah blah friggin blah blah!!!!!!! I wanna see something, and I wanna see some friggin EMOTION!! Football is a game of emotion, and without any, you are doomed to lose. I'm no professional athlete, but I play hoops, and softball atleast 3 times a week. You could ask any teammate or opponent what I bring to the game. I bring intensity, and I bring friggin energy!!! Not everyone plays this way, but best believe that the best players on the team should TRY and play this way!!!! JD

You are projecting your own ideas as if they are the gospel. First of all, I don't recall seeing Joe Montana yell and scream or show "intensity" to be successful. Neither did Bradshaw rant and rave. That is not leadership; that is what people think leadership looks like.

As for Woodley, I don't know what to tell you... you are ignoring what the players are telling you. Unless you think they would throw others (Clark and Timmons) under the bus, and those other players wouldn't take exception. You are choosing to ignore what people are telling you, because again... you are projecting your bias against Woodley. (And for the record: I have also been critical of Woodley these last few years. But I will acknowledge that he is playing hard and trying this year.)

You need to re-read my last post. What am I projecting? I don't need other players to tell me sh!t. My eye-test says that 56 is supremely STUPID! We are talking about a play, that in fact, is so freaking predictable, a 5 year-old could have played it better than 56!! At their own 7, wtf was Pryor going to do there? Let me tell you what he was going to do, and yes, I am PROJECTING friggin NOW!! He was either handing it to McFadden, or keeping it...THAT'S it!!! Two friggin options there!!! 56 is unblocked!! Why? Because the Raiders knew he would bite on the fake and leave his responsibility. But let's project this too!! Wtf was LeBeau thinking?? Wtf were the other 10 on defense thinking? All I know, is that this team, is supremely stupid!! On both sides of the ball!! From coaching to players they are STUPID!! To get caught with your pants down on the first play of the game is inexcusable!! BTW, this team, somehow found a way to get rolled by the 1-6 Minnesota Vikings!! How lame do you have to be to get smoked by QB Cassel?? And if you really think 56 is playing hard, you need to have your head examined!! 20 total tackles!!! Only 14 solo!! 56 on-pace for 40+ tackles for the 2nd straight year!! This is PROJECTING.....but that SUCKS!!!!! He's stealing his money from the Steelers!! In fact, there are a lot of Vets on the team that are taking my hard-earned money that doesn't belong to them!! JD...Am I PROJECTING enough for YOU!!!!!

[DukieBoy]

Adams needs coached up in his position so he has a chance to develop ....... and he's out there "running" pass routes ???

Or some medical marijuana I'm sure being a Steelers fan this year is worthy of a dr's recommendation.
