OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Whats a Running Back? Does it make the Steel Steeler?

[ZorkEnchanter]

There has been one decent run blocking sequence. The rest have been awful.

Every WR/TE is literally blanketed on every pass play, this just sucks.

Did you guys see the QB, behind the OL replay of that 3rd Down pass...

Just like we said about the above. It's like they know every route combination.

It’s comical this organization thinks 3 years of league worst suckitude from Canada’s “scheme” is somehow just going to work

Sometimes the QB needs to throw their receiver open. He had the TE that last play (Muth i think?) if he put it on his right, away from the defender.

The Steelers have heard the fans and media and responded.

By promoting Canada.

They do. Amateur analysts on social media have broken down how 99% of shotgun looks will be pass, and the opposite for under the center. And since they hardly ever run play action, the defense knows what the call is the vast majority of the time.

The other big problem is the routes they run take entirely too long to develop and get open. Which is why Kenny practically never throws to his first read and holds the ball so long., because it's never open right off the snap.

Being that predictable makes it even harder on an already mediocre offensive line.

If this team can consistently score 21 points a game, I'm confident in their abilities to win games. I'm just not confident they'll be able to do that, which is pretty pathetic.

Shit talk Pickett, Najee, the O-Line or whoever else all you want, but Canada is a cancer on this team's offense. You can't make a good offense when the other team knows exactly what plays you're going to call.

I'm not sure what is read progression is. The 3rd down play was obviously to his left because went down the line close, crossing, then that wheel route. (only looking left)

None of them were "wide" open. Each WR/was at least covered (i.e. Defender was within silhouette)

No doubt he could have thrown a few passes a little more on time though. Seems like he doesn't trust routes or is not seeing it.

Maxx Crosby is what I imagine TJ Watt would look and be like if he tried meth.

 

[DanielPlainview]

We put guys into motion and it does nothing. It’s like Canada saw the other teams do it and without understanding the mechanics of how and when and why, he just threw it in wherever

 

[The Old Master]

at least they are mixing up the plays

 

[wheelz87]

Man warren just picks up yards so much quicker/easier than najee

 

[DanielPlainview]

The OL has opened up approximately 2 solid running lanes all half

 

[WickedWrister]

Jesus Christ Pickens

 

[SomeDude]

Pickens is the next in line for all tools no tool box Steelers receivers. Kenny should get a free kick to the nuts for that.

 

[Shaftception]

Pickens would have been wide open on the underneath crosser to the right had Pickett not bailed the pocket already.

Nice run though.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Great run but that's coming back because of a penalty

 

[Shaftception]

Under center pre-snap > run play.

 

[Empoleon8771]

That run would have taken Ben approximately 3 hours to complete

 

[WickedWrister]

My god the negative runs are killing us

 

[MrBurghundy]

That play was literally never going to work.

 

[DanielPlainview]

If you’re going to telegraph your plays at least have a bullying OL

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

2nd time in one half of football that a cornerback is running into the backfield with 0 fear of the pass whatsoever.

 

[Empoleon8771]

That play perfectly shows how god awful Canada's play calling is. It's so god damn predictable and just gets blown up instantly.

I'll take that conservative run calling play there 100% of the time, though. Go into halftime up 13-7.

 

[Darren McCord]

lol gota play for that field goal cant try for a touch down

 

[DanielPlainview]

It’s like watching professionals trying to run a HS offense against pros running pro schemes
