Timberob Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Minus Parker's 51 yard scamper (busted assignment) the Steelers only had 36 yards rushing!!!! This is the Steelers!! The team that lives by the run!!!! Dominate the run. I find this to be amazing because they played so vanilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Springs running Parker down...did that not remind you of the Dorsett/Green play where DG ran him down on the sideline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilbur58z Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Considering both Staley and Bettis didn't even play in this game, it's not a huge deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timberob Posted August 27, 2005 Author Share Posted August 27, 2005 it is a huge deal steelers are known for oline not great backs i love bettis too but he deosnt scare anyone in the nfl anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 the Steelers offense isnt that great though, especiall when Bettis went down. In that sense, our run defense was still good, but I still think our pass defense became suspect, as well as pressure (though when Lavar was in he was bringing it!). Either way, our offense will be the focal point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkart Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 You can't just dismiss a 51 yard run !!! and count the other 36, But our D still looks great. Just sometimes that's gona happen, important thing is he was finally caught!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sometimes that's gona happen, important thing is he was finally caught!! We held them for under 100 rushing nomatter how you slice it. Carlos Rogers is a tackling machine. He may have to work a little on his coverage skills, but Smoot could never tackle the way he has. He came up and took out Bettis on that one play. I can't stop thinking about this teams potential to stop the run this season. Not only was it good to see Lavar flying around out there. It was also good to see Noble gets some snaps. We may field the best "D" in our history this season. Teams are going to start to fear this "D". They will be the Black and Blue crew knocking out QB's at a stadium near you.

Just sometimes that's gona happen, important thing is he was finally caught!! Yeah. Sean Springs ran him down and saved the touchdown. I was impressed by Springs speed. Not quite as impressive as Green running down Walker, but still... We've got a fast secondary. Carlos looked solid tonight as well. We can stuff the run, but I'm still concerned about our lack of a true pass rusher. :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoGiK Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 we have to be patient with the pass rushers, Griffon and whynn are trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 44 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I'd have to go back and watch it again, but was it Marshall that missed the tackle that sprung Parker on the long run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timberob Posted August 27, 2005 Author Share Posted August 27, 2005 The 51 yard run was a blown assignment. Both the dt and lb hit the same gap and were block by one guy. Keasey was the lb. Also as far as pass rush goes the Skins didint seem to blitz until 2nd half. Preseason games are not about the final scores what impressed me was the way our lines both o and d won the battles in the trenches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
