Steelers Defense is amazing to watch

[Bob Sacamano]

If our line had 2 sacks, people would complain to no end.

they would be idiots then, because the 3-4 Dline's worth isn't measured in sacks

Sure it is. It's just not measured the same as a 4-3 line.

you can't look at a 3-4 Dline w/ 2 sacks, and just assume that they suck

for example, them versus us, the biggest difference is that Wade's #1 priority on D is stopping the run, yet we are about a yard worse than Pitt, on average

FYI, entering tonight's game, Pitt was tied for 1st in average rush given up, w/ 2.8

bo-bo the clown strikes again

Did I say they suck?

This is the company you keep, Sacamano.

The Pittsburgh defense is playing a level or two above the Dallas defense. The point isn't even debatable. However, is Pittsburgh's personnel really that that much better than Dallas's personnel? Seriously?

The Steelers do not have a player of Demarcus Ware's caliber in their front seven, and Jay Ratliff is at least as disruptive as any player along the Steeler front.

What gives?

no you didn't, just pointing out that you don't measure a 3-4 Dline by the amount of sacks

whatevers

 

[theogt]

no you didn't, just pointing out that you don't measure a 3-4 Dline by the amount of sacks

But you do. It's clearly a part of what they're asked to do -- rush the passer. This isn't a debatable topic.

What you're trying to say is that they shouldn't be measured the same as a 4-3 team.

[Bob Sacamano]

But you do.

lol, no I don't

 

[theogt]

lol, no I don't

Clearly you don't, which is silly.

But you didn't even know what a zone blitz was, so............

 

[Matt]

I was just going to post the same thing. What exactly are we missing to have this kind of defense? I'm not an Xs and Os guy, but the Steelers are aggressive and smart where we are passive and dumb.

The answer: A defensive Coordinator

Hopefully when Cowher's here, he brings Dick Labough (SP?)

keeping the D in a zone?

you must be pretty dumb if you keep bringing up an argument you clearly lost

explain Pitt's zone-blitz, you see many DE/OLB position exchanges? that was what you were arguing so much about being a zone-blitz

Cute. You're still unsure as to what a zone blitz is.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Exactly. You thought it was a blitz in zone coverage.

is the D not in a zone?

you're the cat who said zone coverage had little to do w/ it

 

[theogt]

How many times does this have to be explained to you?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

none by you

 

[theogt]

none by you

Good, I'm tired of teaching you the same things over and over again.
