OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: They Killed Kenny!

[Empoleon8771]

Need to take a shot downfield to try to back the box off them. They've been successful at running somehow so far through it, but the pass rush is in Pickett's head. Try to get a pi call downfield.

That would require some creative offensive minds and a willingness to take risks, neither of which apply to the 2023 Steelers.

Or max protect.

I just wish the Steelers would have a game where the debates didn't just turn into the same Pickett nonsense every week.

The Browns are having a free blitzer on basically every play, the Steelers OL is getting downright abused in this game. But at some point, Pickett just needs to make a play.

Please just fire Matt Canada. For the love of god, just get rid of him.

You don’t think firing Canada will easily fix things, do you? Agree he should be gone, but at this point, it’s too late. They are who they are. A team generally incapable of more than 1-2 offensive TD’s a game.

No, but I sure as hell know that Matt Canada is an atrocious OC that has no business even being employed by a NFL team.

I'll give $20 for someone to go to Cleveland and duct tape this color guy's mouth shut...

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

The Browns DL blocking down the ball means the Steelers don't throw the ball to the middle well?

Yeah, pass knockdowns are a qb stat. Good qb's find passing lanes over the middle. Bad qb's get a lot of throws batted down.

Patrick Mahomes would look like Mitch Trubisky behind this O-line and play-calling.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Punters are getting so good at hitting their kicks for 60+ yards the concept of "playing for field position" as a strategy is evaporating

when he is fired HC Cliché' will just hire another pissboy

Picket has 2 seconds max to make a play, need slants.

 

[TooManyHumans]

Predetermined to throw it to Warren again. But you know, we don't get guys open.

 

[Empoleon8771]

It still blows my mind that Matt Canada has not only kept his job for 3 years despite these awful results, but that he was hired to be the OC in the first place. The dude wasn't even a good college OC, so why is he the OC of a NFL team?

If the play call is an immediate slant to Warren, how do those WRs being open mean anything?

The theory of that play-call is that the other receivers pull the defensive backs away from the line of scrimmage and it opens up a clear lane for Warren to run. Those receivers aren't intended targets for that play call, hence why the Browns were able to counter it so easily.

This we can agree on. He is however one of many issues with this offense, but as the leader of it, the intense criticism is understood. But who hired him? Just saying.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Clearly some people don't understand that not every route in a play design is going to be utilized as a target.

It wasn't. That was to Warren in the flat. Pickett doesn't bother to look anywhere else. But keep blaming it all on the coaches when the QB can't find open guys and does not even try.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Smart play by Pickett, identified the pressure, got the first with his legs.

 

[TooManyHumans]

Well with Pickett, only one guy is an option. Every other route is apparently just window dressing.

Doesn't have the time to survey the field.

Yes, that play call calls for an immediate throw to Warren in that spot.

The theory of that play-call is that the other receivers pull the defensive backs away from the line of scrimmage and it opens up a clear lane for Warren to run. Those receivers aren't intended targets for that play call, hence why the Browns were able to counter it so easily.

Once again, the problem is that Canada has an ultra predictable offense so the defenders don't fall for such a bad play design.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Rudolph would've stood in the pocket and taken the hit like a real man. Pickett sucks. - Yinzers, probably

 

[Shaftception]

Running at moore is a bad idea, to the right seems to have been way more successful.

 

[Pengwins]

Pathetic offense

 

[MrBrightside]

Dan Moore is utterly helpless.

 

[Shaftception]

They spotted that is if he slid not dove.

Line Just SUCKS
