OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: 2022 Handball season has arrived!

Also, Najee looks better without the plate in his foot.

If only he had a line capable of opening holes in the defense.

He didn’t look very good there

He didn’t look very good there

Running backs generally have trouble on plays where they are wrapped up low before they can get to the los.

And that happens like 5 times every single game to poor Najee.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Their run game is bad because Harris isn't very good at identifying openings and their OL isn't very good at run blocking.

The OL is generally decent at preventing sacks but I don't think they run block well.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Cole is not very good at center.

 

[vodeni]

three and out is the way they love to get started

 

[DanielPlainview]

Do they ever come out at the half looking like adjustments were made?

 

[ChaosAgent]

we do what we do

obviously

Been trying to figure out my sense of the Steelers offense. I think “they seem to work so hard for 2-3 yard gains”.

 

[Andy99]

Terrible series…Kenny held on to the ball too long on that sack and running on first down all the time is a Canada special but it never ever works

Do they ever come out at the half looking like adjustments were made?

Yes, bad adjustments…

That sack was on Cole, the center who got beat badly. I was expecting to blame Moore given his guy got the sack but Kenny was basically pressured into him 10 yards behind the LOS.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Imagine any other team with a bottom 5 rushing offense running so consistently on 1st down.

It is like Matt Canada is honestly operating under the delusion that the Steelers still have a dominant power running game.

And when the opposing team moves the entire defense into the box because 97 percent of the time the play will be within three yards of the line of scrimmage.

The Steelers make their own team one dimensional.

Harris may be vastly overrated.

Or not.

This offense does us no favors in making a legitimate call either way.

Same with the receivers and even quarterbacks.

 

[TNT87]

Weird. So passing to the middle of the field is allowed?

 

[Andy99]

WRs running wild again in middle field…nice to see Tomlin is sticking to his guns on D

Eh I think we're firmly at the point where we can conclude Harris is vastly overrated.

You'd expect a RB drafted in the 1st round to break off a great run purely by luck/chance, but he hasn't done that at all. He might be great with a great OL and good play calling, but how is he any different than someone like James Conner if that's the case?

Dolphins: let's fill up our offense with track sprinters, creating the most explosive offense in the league

Steelers: OC doesn't know how to use track sprinter rookie wr because he presumably believes that splash plays are illegal

 

[vodeni]

wtf was that Miami?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Talk about horrible play calling by the OC

matt taught mcdaniel everything he knows they worked together at maryland and matt showed him rpos, running the football, how to drive a stick shift...matt is known in the league as a great mind brought down by Ben Ed Orgeron narduzzi james washington

 

[Andy99]

wtf was that Miami?

I mean it’s like they thought they were playing Buffalo or something and needed the points.…this is the Steelers whose offense can’t get out of its own way and Miami is leading lol

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Talk about horrible play calling by the OC

More like complete lack of respect or fear for the other team.

Miami can afford to give away those points.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

The commentary and therefore the league still pretending Tua didn't suffer a concussion against the Bills is so gross.

They fired the independent doc for not holding Tua out while refusing to admit he was concussed even though it was obvious that he was.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Diontae is way too easy to tackle and he consistently fails to fall forward.

 

[Andy99]

Why can’t we throw 4 yards on 2nd and four? Or three yards on third and three and why are we checking down so often
