Seemed like it to me too.

But I'm no film guru nor do I know the actual assignments. Nor did I ever play football for that matter!

Heh. You can check all those boxes for me as well.

Gotta wonder if Jay and Scot are on the same page in terms of the team's identity. Feels like they are coming from 2 different angles entirely.

I do...stop teaching DB to play with their backs turned all of the time. I don't know when this foolishness started (and it's been a while) but there was a time that speedy back-peddling was as important to corner play as anything. So rare to see these days! OK, there's the set-up guys, fire away, but come correct because one thing that is and will always remain true....NO WR has ever caught a pass if the DB has possession of it! #Football-lite.

Golden Tate would disagree with you. So would the replacement ref that called a GB INT a catch by Tate and a game winning Seattle TD.

Remember that?

Can't say I'm surprised by an opinion that says Gruden doesn't want to run the ball. If there is conflict. I hope it gets resolved.

Beginning to really be a concern for me. Scot preaches a physical style and we are looking much more like a finesse team currently.

well gruden better get it done or he will be gone

Like this picture, wish the moment had ended differently

There are exceptions to every rule, but you'd be hard pressed to find another example where the DB had possession of the ball and the receiver caught it. In fact by the rules of the game, officials can't even figure out what a catch is and in that instance a lot of allowances were made in favor of G. Tate and his team.

Commented on this towards the end of the game. SM will not be happy be out physicaled. He won't settle for that and if it continues he will replace players guilty. He did that last year.

And? What's his point? We should have forced longer passes into a deep soft zone and given up more INTs? It was clear that Pitt has no intention of letting us get that aspect of our passing game going and that they had no concern about our running the ball. It this complaint that we only pass short is not only wrong, its made by misinformed folks.

 

[j_y19]

No! KC does not have to make things happen, that is not his forte and it usually leads to bad things like him forcing passes. KC needs to get the ball to others and let them make things happen.

• Going to PG gets a 1st down, and maybe a TD. Going to Thompson and its 6 fo sure.

Just had to be patient about it. Vernon Davis was wide open from the moment he left the LOS on one play. A good pass allowing him to keep running and he scores an easy 56 yard TD. Instead KC forces a pass to a thrice surrounded Reed that Shazier picks.

Unfortunately Cuz had a severe case of tunnel vision and impatience.

That KC didn't even bother to scan the field while under no pressure whatsoever. Totally missing a wide open Davis running damn near down the middle of the field was bad enough. Forcing a pass to Reed who has 3 Steelers camped out around his ass. While still under no pressure from the Pitt rush whatsoever. Makes this bordetrline criminal on Cuz's part.

The Shazier pic is a perfect example of the result of forcing the ball into a soft deep zone. I didn't see Davis, but the RB was also wide open in the flat and could have easily picked up the first. But that would have meant another "dump off" and the misinformed would have said that is all he can do.

KC blew the read on the pick. He didn't have to force it , Davis and garcon were open for TDS
