So today, the Raiders stacked the box. They utterly ignored and disrespected the Golden Jet. They held the Steelers to 17 points.Nope, I disagree. I believe that the early game plan 'made them' look subpar; but once Coach Canada opened the playbook the whole unit looked like a different OL.
One thing I will say is Las Vegas won't stack the box like the Bills this week if they know what's good for them - if so, Ben will have a record passing day...

I don't know why the play-calling did not involve more inside-zone trap plays? Sealing off blocks ought to be the number one agenda at practice - forget about trying to win one-on-one; just wash MFers as much as you can. If you whif; you whif.
Otherwise i don't know why the Steelers felt like they could not get behind the LBers today? Why all the short ****? Why not crossers and button hooks?
Maybe Ben still has a noodle-arm? maybe. Is that why NOBODY is respecting the deep throw from our O? or is it that Canada wont call it b/c he thinks the line cant stand up to it?
Whatever the case, they Steelers desperately need a big X receiver than can take it to the house after catching a slant from Ben. somehow Canada has to find a way to back these muthafuckas off the box.
You smell like Pops or cooch.The line is so good the idiotic Tomlin , just like against the Browns in last years playoff game , refused to go for it on 4th and a foot trailing by 2 scores today. .15 years in and the idiot never learns from.his myriad of mistakes.
We need Ben to light ******* up over the middle then.Ben connected on two deep throws today.
The arm strength is fine. I just don't think he's quite as accurate as he used to be.
Why would any team not camp everyone within 3 yards of the LOS after watching us the past 2 seasons?We need Ben to light ******* up over the middle then.
Because if you go back and re-watch the front 8 for the Raiders, you see they literally camp out maybe 3 yards from the ball. And it's not like the opposition is playing off on the outside - they're tight and playing press coverage.
At some point you have to acknowledge that - screw the line - the Steelers cannot let the D pressure them like that. Not when you have the QB that the Steelers have. Not when you have the back that the Steelers have.
i dont know. It REALLY seems to be working for them though.Why would any team not camp everyone within 3 yards of the LOS after watching us the past 2 seasons?

If things do not drastically improve this week, i wouldn't be afraid to say that i want last year's running game back!Because it's the same loser **** as last year.

Is Fitchner still a free agent? Can we trade a 6th and Fu to get him back?
