Prevent D... why?

[Steeler Shades]

Re: Prevent D... why?

Ike Taylor was in press/man coverage on the play. He bumped Fitz but Fitz bumped back and got separation. This is one reason why Steelers do not run a lot of press coverage. If you lose at the press, it can turn into a big play. Classic example took place on the Fitz play.

This post should be referenced anytime someone ask why Ike plays 10 yards off of the line of scrimmage. The short answer is because he has to.

I am sure Ike can play press coverage.

Which Steeler games have you seen Ike successfully play press coverage?

It is not what you are making it out to be.

I simply quoted you about what happened when Ike did play "press" coverage. Perhaps I missed the games where he was successful with this type of coverage?
