Tomlin WISHES Runs Were Called In The Red Zone.

That's because play action passes on the goal line against us look like trick plays. Though we're starting to get better.

I have no problem with passing in the red zone, but I do firmly believe that you need to pass to the endzone and take shots at getting a TD. The short stuff and screens in those tight areas don't work unless the receiver can make a great play.
 
Haley: "Alright. First and goal from the three yard line. Should we dial up a run play?"

Tomlin: "No. That's just what they'd expect us to do..."

There was a time when the Steelers imposed their will and ran the ******* ball anyway. Kreider through the 4 hole and Bettis getting skinny as he plowed over anyone trying to cut behind Krieder. All we seem to have now is a bunch of marshmellows trying to pad their own fantasy football league numbers.

The Steelers shut down the run game once they reached the Jaguars 20.

But offensive coordinator Todd Haley apparently isn't to blame for the one-sidedness of the play-calling.

“That's me calling plays, feeling like we have the advantage in the pass game down there, so I called passes,” Roethlisberger said. “And I don't regret any of it.”
 
I have no problem with that. Like i said i think Bell has been the most impressive offensive player. Give him the ball.

That's what I was saying. Either give Bell the ball or Blount. Way too hard to throw when they know you aren't going to run it.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Badcat again.

Sounds like Ben jumping on the grenade.

Might not be jumping on the Grenade, might be telling the truth. He seemed to have his best year record wise when he was under tight control, 15-1 likely will be a while till we see that again.
