Jakuvious Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Good game, Steeler fans. Weird game, but good game. Not entirely done figuring out what I think about it. Definitely impressed by the Steeler D though. More legit than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXsteeler Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I still can't believe they only scored 12 points until AB saved them. So many yards all day long and they only got 1 field goal. We should have won by 20 points the way we were beating them all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played better today. Hopefully thats just the start. Haley needs to keep attacking weaknesses as opposed to playing into an opponents strengths. Today he did a fine job....needs to keep that up. Tomlin needs to maker sure the team is prepared every week. It makes no sense for us to play like this vs the best team in football on the road right after getting crushed by a middling team at home. On defense.....just keep being aggressive and getting pressure. Our secondary can still be exploited, especially the deep middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this is something we should consider an improvement and it could actually get better as Hayden gets more familiar, healthy and the D becomes more versatile . Of all the concerns, the Pass D/Pass rush were the main issues for me, mainly zones vs Brady. Still early in the season, but at least the team addressed this and there is improvement.

Teams are trying to take away the deep ball and making the Steelers play perfectly for an entire drive. Get used to it. We have seen it in 6 games so far.

You can move the ball between the 20's so easily, but coming away with 3 is a good drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August4th Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 interesting.. steelers would have the number 1 scoring defense if you take away the two pick sixes ben threw against Jax defense still has its flaws but its def improved over the last few yrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have to improve, but much of that could be mentally and allowing Hayden to influence the D play calling more. This should all improve as long as people stay healthy, and of course disciplined. Penalties and getting burned (Burns of course) won't help. All this means nothing when we play Brady if we play zones and get no pressure. KC matches up well vs Pats, we match up well vs KC even in their own stadium. That might be our way to #7 but it would seem like a fake win unless we beat the Pats IMO. Lets see what happens vs a good OL, that is the test , as long as ben doesn't ruin the game like vs Jags which never helps the D. From what I saw, the D disrupted the line, creating decent consistent pressure . If this continues, I expect more turnovers, sacks and improved D rankings in general. Tuitt is a force, that was a very good RD2 pick btw . I always said that a good run game and TOP always helps the D, and we could be adding this to the equation. I know the league is pass happy, but with the OL and Bell, why not open TOP. Finney should be starting too, no coincidence that Bell has had his best games when Finney plays LG. We lost Gilbert and bell still had a good game vs a good D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! The NFL is pass-happy. But, you need to run the ball to get 1st downs and to maintain TOP. Its simple. "Football is two things. It's blocking and tackling. I don't care about formations or new offenses or tricks on defense. You block and tackle better than the team you're playing, you win." - Vince Lombardi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
