Pittsburgh vs New Orleans Game Thread

I know, I know. Flo feels like he has to prove something but I am stuck in Steelers country and I get to watch the girls and Gold play. I haven't seen one play that went against him and he's been block pretty darn well. So if he's play well there, what was the problem here?

There wasnt one. He played good here, its just nobody ever gave him credit for it.

He was also flagged for alot of penalties here that he'd NEVER get flagged for as a Stealer, and thats the ONLY difference in his play.

Coaching

I guess that proves that when need a new coaching staff?

He's still getting false start after false start. The man can't hear.

 

[Hoofbite]

Is there ever a time where he doesn't look like he's sucking on a lemon?

 

[Vintage]

Wish he was in Dallass....

 

[pjjrfan]

He coaches a good game, doesn't matter what he looks like.

I get really jealous watching Pitts LBers.

Timmons on a blitz works.

Wonder what its like to have an ILB blitz work.

I bet if you watch them every week, you dont see the same blitzes everytime for one thing.

Like Simms said, the defense is incredibly simple, pass rush, blitzes and coverages. Very easy for QB's to figure out.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Both of these defensive coordinators are better than Wade

 

[Doomsday]

Anyone think Brooking or James could make 1/2 the plays that Timmons is making? On that third down he takes on the guard, sheds him and runs the running back down from behind. Brooking would of hit the G, got stood up and watched the rest of the play.

LOL at the Julius Jones sighting. :laugh1:

You don't. Pittsburgh's blitzes never look the same week to week. I think LeBeau probably re-schemes his pass rush packages for each offensive line and QB he faces -- same with Baltimore. That's why some games you'll see them play with hands down, and other games (like against New England or Indy) you'll see them walk their front 7 around the line and rush from a standing position often.

Gutsy call by Payton! I like it!

Polamalu and Ryan Clark are worlds better than our safeties, by the way. Our guys would've bit like carp on that play.

 

[reddyuta]

we would never see this kind of hitting in a dallas game.

 

[pjjrfan]

Both teams have a lot of good tacklers and hard hitters.

 

[pjjrfan]

And great blocking.

 

[dbair1967]

alot of better coaching that what we have, and thats the biggest difference

 

[pjjrfan]

Good teams always respond, now it's the Saints turn, this game is going to the wire.
