Coaches confused on Harrison goal line play

[WindyCitySteel]

On that play, Harrison, Blount, Miller, Palmer, and Spaeth were on the field.

Bell, AB, and Bryant were not. When they really needed a TD.

That should be enough to criticize them for, the Harrison confusion notwithstanding.

they were trying to sell the run with a jumbo package...

it didn't work.

And throw to a LB?

Brilliant.

[SidSmythe]

It was a valiant effort there is no reason Blount shouldn't have punched one in from the 1 yard line given 4 tries.

If the Jets stop that then they deserve the win. But don't beat yourselves.

[Discipline of Steel]

Good, you keep looking for reasons to criticize every little aspect of the Steelers.
I notice you dont come around much when we win.

Brilliant.

yes, when it works it's brilliant.. when it doesn't it's not.

I got the impression Ben really wanted to get Harrison a TD catch. Seemed like he was staring him down the entire play. I wasn't a fan of that. Although I would have went crazy if Deebo scored.

In this case I think it would have been more of a fluke if it worked than brilliant. Going to JH was a low percentage play. Ben didn't even think he was supposed to be on the field (at least that's what he said in the post game interview). Now, if they had used him as a decoy, had Ben pump fake it to him and then turn back to his left - he had Spaeth open by a MILE.

yep... but we have seen more than a few big guys get in on jumbo packages and end up wide open due to a good play action.

it didn't work and I wish Ben would've looked to his left after it was obvious JH wasn't open.

I went crazy the last time Deebo scored.

[Slapstick]

...and Spaeth was wide open well before Ben threw the ball.

Ben never once looked left...

And you still haven't recovered

[RuthlessBurgher]

I'm okay now, but that Ruthleser...dude's still in a rubber room wearing a straightjacket.

Picked up on that did you? Dang that dyslexia. That should of been Ruthloser. I'll wait for and expect my warning for name calling that I'm due.
