    Highsmith is Double Teamed More Than TJ Watt

    According ESPN's charting:



    btw, the double team rates are the reason why Garrett is often ranked above Watt.

    And how is it the OL sitting on the bench was the Steelers best pass blocking OT?

    because he was critical of MC's play-calling, Tomlin sent him to the bench

      People think we have a talent problem, but then you see guys like Mason, Chuks, and Dotson and it becomes quite clear that we have more of a coaching problem. Don't play the best players and/or put them in position to succeed.

          probably because that OT sucked in run blocking.

          Notice how our run blocking improved dramatically once he was benched.

            hard for teams to double either Watt or Highsmith when you have both on the field

            Bills can double Highsmith this week, Golden and Herbig will make them pay

                  just imagine how undefeated we would be if we did everything fans wanted.

                  Pickens would’ve been benched for the 2nd bengals game or traded.

                    I'm excited to see Herbig in a significant role, I think he is a Playmaker.

                      we wouldn't have enough players remaining to field a team, and nobody left to coach them.

                        Agreed, Tomlin continually flubs this lineup.

                          Isn't this because they don't count being blocked by RBs and TEs in double teams?

                          So when Watt has to beat an OT, a TE, and a RB it doesn't count as a double or triple team?

                            I think it's more about timing -- if he beats them all at the same time, they count it, if he goes through them one after another, they don't. Just a guess.
