We also seem to operate better when we start going up tempo. Don’t know if that has something to do with it, but also caught Moore on tv once yelling to hurry up and lineup, don’t know what clock was at but makes a lot of sense now.

Revealing comment from #Steelers LB Elandon Roberts. Noticed on film Saints QB Tyler Shough wasn't making checks himself - HC Kellen Moore relayed them in.
So Steelers defense stayed static until < 15 seconds when playcallers can't talk to QB. Two examples of it below. First one, Patrick Queen runs into A-gap w/ 14 seconds and Saints run right into him.

I agree. And 8/10 of the top rushing offenses are predominantly zone run teams. Gotta get everyone moving laterally, test gap integrity and let RBs pick the spots.
Most of those teams use motions to get creativity and guys’ eyes moving then make them move laterally.
Nick do you have the throw chart from this last game? Went back and watched and still seems like they’re not operating the middle of the field, really between the numbers much. Not getting nothing in the run game, not getting much within the numbers, and rarely taking deep shots,
Basically eliminating like 35-40% of the field. Of Shough’s 11 INTs since he’s been starting he’s thrown 1 inside the numbers (Lions), maybe 2 if you count that Falcons slant INT last year which was borderline. Gotta give ourselves a chance in those areas when your QB is
A zone scheme where everyone is stepping the same way and can account for this slant and the RB can just pick his spot would help with this imo
Idk if you’re tryna get a reaction out of me or tryna get me to blame someone or what lol. Doubt it was an option route or else he would have squared up the LB and had a 2 way go. Think it was a tempo’d out to give outside WR time to get the MOR and occupy the off palms/cov 4
Replying to @olavegetsactive
Zeke what was your thoughts on the option route by your brother? He’s matched up with a LB. if I was Tyler I would’ve been heated by that piss poor effort
corner. 1st one Tyler threw in front of him for incompletion to the field 2nd one he threw behind in the boundary for INT. Idk their coaching points but I know their timing was off a couple times. INT probably could have squared up backer to give more space to throw the ball.
Gotta take that shot and anticipate that throw. At the same time it’s a trickle down affect of what’s happened throughout the season and getting crushed.
The positive is he gave us a chance to score points and stay in the game. Hindsight the missed FG makes the play hurt more.
Talked about having all these Ferraris and speed in your receiving core and we’re running hitches, mesh, slants, and outs. If we can’t run and our QB is taking a beating, let’s get some creativity going. Moving the pocket, play action, motions. Too vanilla the last few weeks
Bucs putting belt to Panthers. And here I am delusional that we can still salvage a playoff spot in this division…
Too emotionally invested in football. These dudes lose or play bad and my whole day or week be ruined lmao
