Obvi not BJB but any win with that OL vs that DL is a good one. Indy front 4 almost won the game all by themselves.
Stick a fork in the following Steelers, cuz they’re fucking DONE:
Aaron Smith
Bret Keisel
Casey Hampton
Hines Ward
Time to get the young uns in there Tomlin. They have replacements for all of these guys except for Hampton.
I don’t know what the fuck Lebeau is thinking playing Polamalu 30 yds off the ball, but it is fucking stupid defense. He needs to be in the box or near it, creating havoc and threatening blitz nearly every play. I think they might be keeping him deep to preserve his health. Keep him out of traffic as much as possible until they really need him to make some plays. In that case it is a smart coaching move but definitely not the best use of his talent.
Jonathan Scott wouldn’t make the practice squad on any other NFL team. He’s terrible. I don’t hate the guy, he’s just not good enough. They need to bring back Flozell on the right side and move the rook Gilbert to LT. I think the issue is they can’t afford to sign Flo right now. I say release Hines or Aaron Smith to make cap room. They have DL and WR depth to spare, but the OL is thin as fuck. Hines and Smith are expendable at this point in their careers.
The fans would hate either move, but something has to be done or 7 is going to get fucking killed back there.[/quote]
HA! I said pretty much the same thing latnight watching/suffering through the game. I feel sorry for my wife who has to listen to me bitch during a game.
Hampton is done, agreed, Keisel I think is still OK, when healthy. Aaron Smith is a shell of his former self, it happens, he was the best 3-4 DL in the game at one point.
Hines Ward I just don’t know, or I won’t admit it lol. Can’t just cut Hines, can’t see it happening.
I want to see Timmons on the edge in certain situations. C’mon Lebeau, fucksakes, try it a couple times a game.
Through the whole game it seemed like Indy knew what the Steelers O was going to do on offence, right down to the snap count on every fucking play. They used to get away with crap pass protection but made up for it with the road graders they had. Now they seem to be neither. Injuries are killing them on the O-Line but that’s every team right now. Empty backfield formation blows. Mendy is a good back, no holes, no yards.
Thank God for Mike Wallace and his speed, plus now he’s developing great hands to go with that speed.
It was cool to see Heath Miller show on national TV what a TE is supposed to do, block first, and when the rare pass comes your way you catch it, he’s the best ALL AROUND TE in the leauge. Dallas Clark was ragdolled by Harrison lastnght, he’s no TE.
I’m gettin’ all pissed of and my team won lol, sad.
