Game Day Thread - Steelers vs. Colts

What is a defender to do?

let the WR catch it. Offense is all that matters

 

[Avoid_Lloyd]

He launched himself when pittman was already airborne. You cant be serious

He launched low, at knee level if the WR stayed upright, he can’t be blamed for WR ducking

 

[Steelr4evr]

I guess as a defender you now have to let them catch the ball then just tag them down.

That's pretty much it. It sucks ***.

 

[SteelerFan448]

This team is so hard to watch. They cannot even dominate bad teams but then again, it takes a bad team to know one.

The Colts aren't bad and they are targeting the practice squad guys we have playing in the middle of the field due to injuries.

 

[jitter77]

Our defense can not stop anyone anymore

 

[Pittsburgh Charlie]

We caught a break receiver had possession knee down the rolled and lost ball

How does 240lbs get driven back by DB

 

[Omar10213245]

What is a defender to do?

Recognize that the receiver is already laying out/airborne for the ball and just try to jar the ball loose when it arrives?

 

[Steelr4evr]

Najee got stamped!

Been that way for years now

Try not to decapitate the receiver.

I thought the replay showed he hit him in the chest area.

 

[polythemus]

Najee got trucked.

 

[BLITZ]

the 1 replay angle they are showing regarding the ejection play looked like he hit the head. I have a friend at the game that texted me saying another angle clearly shows a shoulder hit.

 

[SCSteeler4life]

Damn Harris trucked by a DB.

 

[stillwright]

I thought that is what jist happened.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

Get this first

 

[Punxsutawney]

I'm never going to agree on that. Nope. Not at full speed ,the receiver changing levels, Kazee going across body with the shoulder.

It is what it is.

I'm not a huge fan of it either, as a fan of the game, or at least how it used to be.

However, when you have guys literally blowing their own brains out, post career, due to the brain trauma they experienced while playing in the NFL, we have to take a step back and remember it is just a game.

 

[SteelerFan448]

I could be wrong but the one replay didn’t look like it was a head shot at all. He turned to hit with the shoulder and hit him hard but I really didn’t think the replay showed him aiming at the head at all.

Look at the replay I posted. Clear head shot.

 

[Troglodyte]

Colts definitely should have called a TO there.

I cant believe how inept NFL coaches are at clock management

 

[Cras108er]

We caught a break receiver had possession knee down the rolled and lost ball

He has to survive the ground. This is different from the Diontae catch. He took three steps.

Miami OH vs App State on ABC in a downpour.

 

[steelhurt]

The Colts aren't bad and they are targeting the practice squad guys we have playing in the middle of the field due to injuries.

The Colts are a bad team led by a busher at QB.
They have a decent defense but nothing at all special on offense other than the RB Jonathan Taylor who is out.
Injuries are part of it and everyone has them.

 

[CoolieMan]

Our defense can not stop anyone anymore

being down 2 ILBs and our safeties kind of hurts

 

[flyhatch]

How bout a quick slant

 

[MT~Forged]

He launched low, at knee level if the WR stayed upright, he can’t be blamed for WR ducking

They are proving you to be wrong
