Formula Moving Forward

[varaven45]

With Sunday night's tilt in the 'Burgh, it seems there are two chances of sneaking out a W - slim and none and .........

With our team's running game ( top 5 or 6 in league) and the Steeler's suddenly explosive passing game, the only conceivable way

to stay in this game is to:

 

* Using the 3 headed monster (if all are available), our offense runs the ball 40-45 times. No less, no exceptions.

 

* Joe passes only 15- 20 times, targets primarily S Smith Sr., Forsett (if plays), Torrey and our no name TE (unless Daniels miraculously plays).

 

* Defensively, we bring a steady, constant blitz; keeping Ben R under duress the entire game.

 

Remaining patient and disciplined in the running game, using a suffocating D with explosive blitzing, gives us our only chance of keeping it close.

If we do that, we've got a shot. Anything else, we are on the losing end of a blowout.

 

Until Jimmy Smith returns and Will Hill finds his legs in the secondary, this may be our best formula for moving forward.

That's a good plan.

Let's add not turning the ball over to it.

 

Also...the less time the Steelers face 3rd and long the better.
