I watched a defense that got worn out... Way too many 3 and outs. Browner played like Tjack, he was afraid. He was never aggressive at the line because he was afraid of getting beat over the top. If they were going to have him play off the receivers, again he should have only been covering Ward...
Carpenter wasn't a LT in college, he played inside... LG I think. I don't know if he can be a successful RT, but Cable seemed to do a pretty good job in Oakland with the O-line. It takes time though, especially with the shortened offseason.
The defense is good, but our pass rush kind of sucks... We're not getting consistent pressure on the QB, I think that's why we haven't come up with any turnovers. Although Curry did drop that potential pick 6.
We went backwards against a much better team though. That was kind of to be expected, and the defense still gave us a chance, 24 points is only 3 scores. The offense just couldn't do anything, the only drive we really had going died because Tjack apparent;y thinks all of our receivers are 7'6".
I think we were prepared a really bad start to the season... I know I was.
Just curious to see how this team progresses as the season goes on. Hopefully they can keep the morale in the locker room up, so far this team hasn't shown any quit. Let's hope that continues.
The line protected reasonably well, then again they really weren't blitzing us much. The run blocking was terrible, but the Steelers almost always lead the league in run defense though. We'll see how they look next week against a more average defense. Tjack will benefit from having Rice back.
You know... With how well the D played last week and how banged up the Steelers' line is, this may not be the blow out we;re all expecting. If we can stop the run, make them one dimensional and get after Rapistberger we culd get some big plays on defense. IF that happens this could end up being...
Ida, we may not agree on Moore. But I really like Doug Martin. He's not super fast fast, but he's shifty, he's tough, he can catch, and he's got really good vision. Right now he's a projected 4th-5th round pick, but I have a feeling his stock will rise.
I'd say a lot of us are in the process of hoping for Luck lol.
I'm not rooting for the team to lose, but I realize a really bad season is best long term.
Personally, I'm not mad about Matt anymore. I doubt he would have made it out of the preseason without an injury and if he did we face a lot of good pass rushers this year (Harrison, Suggs, Tuck/Osi, Cole, Ware, Peppers, etc.) against a very young O-line. The defense looked fine without Lofa AND...
