OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: They Blamed Canada

[Honour Over Glory]

Pathetic.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Defense is injured, but also Tomlin defenses are overrated as usual.

 

[Shaftception]

Can't forgoe contain for an interior move when against a qb who can scramble, bad decision making there by Watt.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

OC making f***ing coward calls when they need to build as much as possible on this lead with how f***ing shit this defense is right now. Why the f*** keep pressing the run? Yeah it has had success this game but it's becoming so f***ing predictable. This is the Tomlin bullshit. Predictable as f***.

Win or lose, f*** this tosser of a coach.

Steelers D is straight up garbo…

Agreed, and I don't even view Rudolph as a guy that excels beyond his first read. Its just accuracy and navigating the pocket better which allows him to get to his 2nd read. Kenny just bails at the first sign of pressure. Mason isn't fast enough to do that and is like required to keep his eyes downfield.

And if he can't fix this, he's just not a viable starting QB and the results won't get better.

It's the same exact issue Trubisky has, but Trubisky also has the problem of playing way too aggressively and turning the ball over. Rudolph isn't even making any incredible throws here, he's just staying poised in the pocket, hitting guys who are getting open and letting the receivers make the plays.

The Seahawks can't tackle either back.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Just tossing guys out of the way. Nice

 

[WickedWrister]

Yeah Kenny can't make that throw

 

[End of Line]

Haven’t seen a ball thrown like that since Ben

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Imagine that. Playing a balance offence on this drive and it leads down field.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Are you kidding me wow

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Yeah Kenny can't make that throw

Who's Kenny?

Kenny who?




God damn it Najee.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Big props for that throw by Rudolph. Even better catch

 

[Rossi Rat]

Take that, Pickett fanboys!

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Mitch really ruined this teams chances huh

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Take that, Pickett fanboys!

I want to go through this thread later at the hate I got for backing Rudy.

 

[Rossi Rat]

Mitch really ruined this teams chances huh

No, Pickett did.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Just way too much time. Stomach be churning lads.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Turf monster lol

I'm becoming more convinced that the issue with the offense is solely not having a QB who can go through progressions well. Those are both by far the biggest weaknesses with Trubisky and Pickett, while Rudolph is doing a noticeably good job at it in his 2 games so far.

I think Pickett's going to end up a great backup in the long run, but they really need to be willing to get a new QB1 if he doesn't show improvement with his pocket presence. That is pretty much the sole factor for whether Pickett ends up starting caliber or not IMO, I think the athleticism and arm is there.

See I'm watching this game and thinking just how much easier it suddenly becomes when the OL is dominating and thinking that's the main difference - at least post-Canada. I think any QB would do fine with the way they're running and the way the space is opening up as a result.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

No, Pickett did.

A triple team of Tomlin, Mitch, and Canada.

Kenny small hands on the camera.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Keep bleeding that clock

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

That third down play should have been first down play. I know the run game has been good but Seattle was so selling out. Would have been the ideal time to goo off tendency.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

I'd like to see them really go for the throat there. I think Rudolph has earned some confidence from the coaching staff.
