BayRaider Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 If Yannick plays I think we win. Even if he doesn’t, I still think we pull it off somehow but it could go either way. It’s very possible Pittsburgh has the #2 D behind New Orleans. They looked super good against Buffalo. However, Steelers Offense is trash… we should be able to do well against them. Winning a low scoring 20-17 game seems likely in this one. I’ll take it. Keep the pressure on them like we did Baltimore and we’ll walk out with the win. Whoa, pressure as the main part of the gameplan? WHO ARE WE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Ben was awful on Sunday. It would have been talked about a lot more if they would have lost. That right there gives me hope that they can at least be in the game if the Raiders just recover. A smart team would have used this offseason to prepare for Pitt during the offseason knowing that you had a short week after the Ravens game. Win this game and it opens up a lot of opportunities 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just line Moreau next to Leatherwood and send him over to Miller if he struggles with him. He really impressed me with his blocking that I noticed during the game.

Rolni Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Super hard game incoming... 1, Short week after a long, emotional and physical game 2, Early east coast game 3, We are already down 2 veterans from our starting OL and the Steelers have legit pass rushers 4, Miller-Simpson-James-Elumeunor-Leatherwood OL will struggle mightily to push that DL in the running game 5, Gruden's O is totally different without a running game 6, Those receivers will give fits to our DB's 7, Their interior OL looks solid and Harris is a quality RB, while our run D looks suspect 8, They have a really solid CB unit, which could slow down our WRs 9, We could be without Yannick who was a big factor against the Ravens How could we win? Keep it simple and methodical. Limit our OLs role and use a quick passing game and attack the middle of the field in the short, medium range with Waller, Moreau and Renfrow. Pressure BigBen all game long and take away the deep/big plays. The good news is that Carr is capable to play quick and sharp (hopefully the rust is off after this Ravens duel) and Bradley's scheme should be equipped to guard the deep stuff. If we can play well back to back against tough teams in a short week in east coast time...that would be something! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to see some other guy step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell it was part of the game plan to allow the running back at the expense of stopping Lamar. The only real run play we gave up was the td in the beginning. In this next game the run I’m actually not worried about very much for me it’s well we stop big ben from having all the Time in the world to throw if there’s no Yannick Ngakoue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ravens running game is not a traditional one for sure, so it could be missleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and with KJ right and Denzel Perryman I’m not really worried about the run. I’m very worried about the pass however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely but they just completely shut down one of the best offenses in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
