Steeler Offense

[K Train]

i think if bryant avoids the Josh Gordon road he will be a premier RZ target in the league for us....first one in a while. And if that happens we can expect Bell, Brown, and Heath all to get looks more and more

You can hate the big backfield, but they punched it in. When the OL jumped at the goal line, the big backfield came off the field when we moved back five yards. Hard to blame them for that, isn't it?

He scored on the TD, but failed to punch it in on 2 other carries. I'd like better than 1 out of 3 on the goal line.

Also, the false start was preceded by Johnson failing to punch it in from the one. If he scores from the one (seemingly the whole point of a goal line back), there is no false start penalty.

Hmmm...going back in time to alter the future. where have I seen that before? How many Jigawatts do we need?

At least 1.21 of them.

You mean like get Bryant and Bell back? Bryant is going to open up the redzone for everyone. Scobees field goals were also both over 40 out.

we struggled in the RZ last year too...

Bryant looked sooooooooooo much better than he ever did last year. He has a chance to be a real top redzone threat....but no, he wanted to wait a little bit

[NorthCoast]

but how many times have we seen Ben struggle for that yard or not get it? I wonder what his stats are with QB sneaks.

seems like every QB sneak ends up being challenged.

because Pouncey is not a good center.... ?

Pouncey is awesome when he's on the move. In close quarters against the big heavies, not nearly as good. Still, we need to run the sneak more.

^^^ This.

This is the part that is not brought up very often. Pouncey is great in certain situations, but noticeably lacking in others. I think that is why there is such disparate opinions on him. Each side can find examples of greatness / failure.

Huh? Why would you say that?

What are our "red zone" statistics? Are we that bad?

I'd put more fat people on the offensive line. And quit the obvious run - that has failed since the Redman days.

I would spread the O out and attack the corners of the endzone...

we rarely run outside at the GL but it seems like we have more success when we do.

With LeVeon Bell, you have a threat to run inside or outside...or catch a pass. Without LeVeon, we don't have that. Now, I would like to see a GL package with Deangelo...I don't know how great the inside running would be, but I suppose you could have Will Johnson at FB and fake a dive...

Coach Einstein said he was OK with the trick play call because they want to get the ball into AB's hands. They tried to get it into his hands zero times in the red zone.
