August4th Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 maybe play Brian against the browns and have him cover Njoku? don't want him covering gronk to be his first real defensive assignment in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neumatic Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 @FourThreeMafia I’m pretty sure Brian Allen was active fwiw. I recall seeing him as a gunner on punt coverage. If they wanted to give him a shot at Gronk I wouldn’t be opposed as long as they didn’t put him on an island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 hoping we see a lot from Bryant in the next two games with brown out...him and juju growth in the next 2 wks will be crucial for the postseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he breaks out in the post season, balls out next year, signs a mega deal with someone else after that. Hopefully he wins two super bowls with us.

Regardless, Pitt should have won that game. Juju and bell gashed the Patriots minus AB. I almost felt like the Steelers played better without AB because Bell just couldn't be stopped. It's my opinion that he established possession by intentionally guiding the ball over the goaline. Obviously that's not the rule for possession but that's what we're debating.

I really hope they activate Brian Allen and maybe give him a chance vs Gronk. I realize that may be a asking alot of a rookie, but we dont seem to have better options. Sean Davis is completely awful...and no, its not just based on his vs Gronk. Dude has terrible instincts and I really hope they look into replacing both starting safeties this offseason, because I cant take another season of these two bums. The issue that I saw vs Gronk was the man coverage. Gronk will beat almost anyone man to man. The man coverage worked for the most part though, I just think a bracket coverage against Gronk would have done you guys better, have someone at the top of Gronk's route.

Yeah, Gronk needs to be gameplanned against. It did not look like we did that. Either bracket him or use a linebacker to smack him around a little at the LOS to disrupt the timing a little.

Now his desperation makes sense. He didn't think they had time to get the FG unit out there and thought he had to try for a TD. The other stupid thing about that play was why NO ONE except Eli went out for a pass. You think it's hard for 6 guys to cover 1 guy? You expect an INT there. Especially when the receiver was interfered with and it should've been PI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have him absolutely crush Gronk in the ribs at the LoS every snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time Ive really seen a healthy Gronk stifled is when guys are physical with him, even cheating against him with holds, pulls, contact after the first 5 etc. This works because he gets physical back, so if you start playing like that against him, he will follow suit and usually the calls go against him. If you play him like this and he doesn't follow suit, chip him and have a guy at the top of his route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have him absolutely crush Gronk in the ribs at the LoS every snap. He's also good at shimmying out of contact, as you saw on the 2pt conversion. Everything is easier said than done. The best I've ever seen him contained was Berry in week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think next year things will start coming together for him. Sometimes it takes guys longer to get it figured out. He's not Jarvis Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also missed a huge chunk of last year due to injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably never learned techniques so it is hard for him to incorporate his moves into the game. The more time he has the better he should become. I'm an advocate of picking up his option. Even as half the player he can become, he's still pretty useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
