Steelers vs Chargers game thread

Watching form here Fields looks very uncomfortable. He doesn’t have confidence. He really needs to learn the reads.

we just cannot run a pass play underneath that is right at the line to gain. Always 3-5 yards short

I believe they call those check downs. Fields has mastered those, I would say.

OL never seems to get a push.

Good point. They really dont. A couple of guys are bascially waiting on Najee or Jaylen when they get to the line. Its somewhat of an improvement because a year ago and two years ago, defenders were in the backfield waiting on Najee/Jaylen. So at least we have pushed them back to the scrimmage line. Now we need to graduate to actually getting a push for a couple yards.

Big 3rd down here. See what we come up here with time to think about it.

Their secondary is full of talented players - no need to press if it's not there. Use Marsha's template - DINK and DOINK all the way up the field w/ Fields...

 

[Drink IRON City]

Need a 1st down


Salute the nation

 

[fogdoctor]

Well crap. He should have had that.

 

[bermudasteel]

That was DPI - pulled George's arm.

 

[Drink IRON City]

Mason McCormick is in for anderson

Pickens, in and out


Salute the nation

 

[Badcat]

Watching Frazier maul guys is an absolute Joy! Haven’t seen this nasty attitude since Pouncey

 

[BLITZ]

[jitter77]

Pickens had both hands on it

 

[Drink IRON City]

Salute the nation

Really? Well to be fair. You have said that in every game so far this season.

That was a great play by the DB... cant help those, but its why dink and dunk can be thwarted easily now

 

[MemphisSteelerFan]

Safety is bolting to his side post snap on every play.

yep and we have no one else that can take advantage of that. Antonio Brown was every bit as good--no, ABrown was better than Pickens is now and he always found a way to get open. Of course the QB throwing to him was a little different than the one throwing these days.

 

[slashsteel]

Would like to see Pickens catch that. Ugh

 

[Gildong Sack]

Yes. And not a peep from the experts in the CBS booth..in fact it was " a great play by Samuels."

 

[stillwright]

Simms has stated numerous times....nobody is open down field.

 

[SCSteeler4life]

Gotta catch that 14.

 

[bermudasteel]

Pickens had both hands on it

He also had Samuels draped all over his back and had his arm pulled - early; but, oh well...

 

[stillwright]

If we start playing tigjt coverage....you just have to hope they call it the same way for us.

That style died... Ds learned to thwart it

 

[fogdoctor]

This is not good.

Simms isn’t even calling this game.
