Observation From Pittsburgh - Tennessee Game

[strathound]

So I'm watching Roethlisberger in this game today and there is something strikingly different about the way he throws the ball. He's standing the the pocket and looking down field. Thinking back to last night, was there one time Romo had time to stand in the pocket? Seems to me almost every pass was thrown off his back foot as he was being hit or on the run after spinning away from a sack. And it's hard to have vision of the field when there's a linebacker in your face.

I think those that have made the O-Line the number one issue are onto something. I also blame all the offensive coaches for not doing their homework and coming up with a scheme to address these issues.

Would we have fared better with some blocking?

You stole chief's avatar. And Big Bendover just threw a backbreaking interception, so your post is kind of irrelevant. GG though.

Not sure when it happened, but the avi is actually a standard Zone avi. I may ask Hos if that's supposed to be that way.

Hasn't Roths been sacked more than any QB in the league?

 

[Kilyin]

No penalties on Shatsburgh all day. Coincidence? Nah.

I'm new here, so I just used the default avatar. Is this one better?



Also, I don't think the point is irrelevant. I think Romo is a better QB than Roth. But the Steeler O-Line is MUCH better than ours.

Haven't they played 5 games in a row with no holding calls on the opponents? Saw that somewhere. PFT maybe.

 

[Kilyin]

Sorry to the OP, I'm still a little sour after last night. Pitt's Oline is just as bad or worse than ours though.

Hey, didn't mean to be a d-bag, I'm just a little bit angry atm and I hate the Steelers.

 

[Kilyin]

TD TITANS... wuwu.

 

[StylisticS]

God I would love for Fisher to be our head coach so we must get the next best thing if Wade is indeed gone after this year. Who would that be?????

Before this game Steelers ranked 5 in the NFL, been sacked 44 times.

 

[Yeagermeister]

They have two now include an unsportsmanlike near the goaline.

I hate Bud Adams but I can't help but admire the way the Titans play and except for last week the way Fisher coaches.

Wow-even Tennessee with puney-armed Collins is manhandling them.
