To self scout the beginnings of their games over the last 4-5 years and look at the success of these wr. screens. There has to be another way to achieve the same concepts. Little slot slips where they belly out almost a swing. 2 yard slants. This **** where the wr starts with his shoulders not upfield blows. And the very last guy I have running that is Bryant. He is a strider. His off the line speed and elusiveness is not meant for that play. Like ****** wake up.
 
Tomlin used the excuse in his P.C. that they were heavily penalized and that's why Bell couldn't get going. What he didn't explain is why in the hell they were throwing that crap on the first drive instead of having Bell out there. Without Bell that crap is supposed to substitute for run plays, and we know how well that has worked historically with this team.
 
I'll tell you what was working great. The play action slants. Loved seeing those!
 
I blame the screen game on Ben. Never been able to set it up. What they need to do is legit set up for a rocket shot, bell blocks and then floats for the quick dump. 5 times a game minimum. Even if they had a play off of the wr screen. Just brutal.

Hard to get Bell going when the kept running out of the empty backfield.

I'll tell you what still burns me, and we continue to ******* do it. Empty backfield sets on 3rd and short. We scored a TD to James on the delay inside TE screen, but damn, when you line up, the other team knows it's a ******* pass. PSU's 2nd TD is what the Steelers should do. PSU lined the RB Barkley out as the 5th WR, then brought him in motion back to the side car, to run a play action pass to a wide open TE. That's how you out scheme in short yardage.

GREAT post until the end,........... You used " out scheme" as in being able to out scheme the opponent...........get my drift????
