The only thing I hate about Cowherd is he refuses to give the Steelers and/or Ben a break for anything while he gives the Chiefs, Bucs, 'Hawks etc & their QBs all the passes in the world. But that said, I do feel like its a great assessment. He just needs to be more realistic with other teams as well.
He did say they have all the talent in the world. They just go into games unprepared or unable to adjust quickly to a good gameplan from the opponents.
Number of things. Offense is the biggest issue. They apparently don’t know how to run the ball, or simply just don’t care to try. They threw the ball 51 times against the Ravens that had all of their starters in the secondary. Going that 1 dimensional against their only strength was sheer stupidity. But they’ve been doing that for months now, basically accepting empty shotgun sets as their best identity. It works ok if the receivers catch the ball. Yesterday we saw what happens when they don’t have consistency. This coaching staff deserves some blame though
Both Ebron and DJ have very questionable hands.
I just can’t get behind passing on 3rd or even 4th & short... especially against the Ravens who were depleted along their front 7.
They need to replace some guys on the OL to do that.
Agreed. Knew going into this year the O-line was going to be a concern since they pretty much neglected it in hopes they could string out another year with the current group. Pouncey's best days are behind him, and AVill seems to have regressed. Feiler is ok, but definitely not getting anything done in the run game. Would like to see Dotson in there. Maybe stick with Dotson at LG & put Feiler in RT if Chuks can't play.
Appreciate them for what they do. Their pass blocking is amazing.
Claypool needs to step up as well. Some of his high-pointing needs to be more aggressive when DBs are giving him bigger cushions. Since Ben wants to throw within 2-3sec window, that doesn't give Claypool enough time to expose defenses deep. Contested catches are the name of the game.
