Initial Thoughts on raven Game

[Steelmann]

You're a great guy - don't take it personal my maple syrup brother!!!

Just having a little fun with ya my fellow Steeler Brother. If we all agreed on the same things,this world would be a pretty boring place. Remember when the both of us were screaming for Brian Branch when the Steelers picks came up? The guy is an all pro superstar….we certainly agreed on that!

I'll admit it again, I was excited for the Tee Martin (QB, Tenn) pick.

The man who did at TEN what that bum Peyton couldn’t

I was excited for a minute too

Can the Steelers learn to utilize Justin Fields like the Saints utilize Taysom Hill, or does everybody think it would be too disruptive to the offense? Can what works for the goose work for the gander....because they really should be copying plays from their playbook in my opinion.

Don’t feel bad…
I thought the Highsmith selection was a horrible pick!

Fields needs to be used inside the 10 yard line in the red zone.

We should have won going away. The offense is still a work in progress. I think we can say the Steelers have to be taken seriously.

THIS
Imagine Fields with Najee and Warren out there? Warren has shown he can run, catch and block Linebackers like a FB.

Best part is the Defensive coordinators have zero tape, which could make all the difference.

Great post

I'm not so sure the scenarios are the same...Justin is a legit QB1b and very much a QB1a for many teams in the league today. I don't mind sprinkling him in when the situations present themselves; but my fear is losing Russ during this upcoming gauntlet and all the efforts we've taken to win games now result in Allen having to take the helm and guide us thru the tumultuous waters to...THE SUPERBOWL...

Ok...fair enough even though it doesn't explain why every other team was able to do the same that have about the same amount of chemistry as the Steelers (i.e. Browns did it with Jameis and WRs less known) What about the run game against the Cowboys?

It probably had more to do with the fact that we were leading most of the game. Especially the entire second half. Teams have decimated the ravens pass D when behind late and in pass D

The Bengals rushing total in two games vs the Ravens was 39 carries, we had 34 on Sunday

We were just taking deep shots to loosen up the D... we werent attacking them over the middle to draw the safeties over or anything... it was clear we meant to run on them because we expected them to expect us to be pass happy like everyone else...

Ok so the ravens apparently went 2 high safeties , which affected wilsons passing.. The commanders started this trend apparently. Im parroting a talking head i heard today.

I wasnt impressed with his accuracy on medium passing. I liked the dump offs to najee.

Still havent seen much from our TE's. Wtf is going on. ? Is it really the ineffectiveness of our #2 receivers doing this? Feel free to lend your theories.

I think it just is a red zone hiccup. I don’t think it is a trend. Hiccups don’t last and I don’t think this will last either….

 

[Stryker]

Damn these games are FUN (when the Steelers pull them out)

With Tomlin, it's more often than not...

Our players weren't used properly that day.

2 high safeties will open up the run game vs most teams

I watched the game, twice, and, yes, the Ravens played 2 high safeties in both nickel and dime packages to 'limit the big and medium plays down the field'...

I don't think that is our offense's kryptonite - 2 high safeties equates to 'running the ball' because they do not have enough men in the box to stop Najee'. Seam routes are not as easy in this defensive formation either because there aren't a lot of void areas across the field.

Think on these things...
