Some observations
-
- Pay Josh Cribbs already!!! The guy has us on the 35 yard line MOST of the time... if not he breaks it all the way. He gives us the only chance, he puts fear in other teams when he is on the field.
- Play Josh Cribbs at RB. Forget the WR stuff, let him see the field and put him back there with old slow Lewis.
- Better game plan by the coaches this week on offense. Not great, but better.
- The team is improving and they are trying.
- Now the Bad... NO ONE Can Catch the ball!
-
If by finesse you mean pussies, I agree.
-
How about Joe Thomas.
Harrison was getting ridden by JT all the way around the pocket to where St. Clair was. He had no sacks. The pressures he got were from stunts when JT was locked onto someone else.
JT's intial jam is like a steam launch on an aircraft-carrier and has hall of fame feet. So lets see who he's had. Jared Allen....no sacks. Odom....no sacks. Harrison....no sacks. Now that's a positive. He's been the most consistant player since he got here 3 yrs ago.

Right- what are they waiting for to reward Cribbs? The Steelers were so afraid of him braking another return, they started pooching the kickoffs.
BTW, the Steelers are far from an elite offense, yet they racked up 500+ yards on us. Any improvement on defense is illusory.
-
YES ! Joe Thomas was/is outstanding.
But don't forget Mack - handling the steeler nt? priceless.
But this...
<<< Robiskie and Massaquoi were getting open today. >>> I disagree, very disappointed in both of them Too many drops by MoMass and Robo should have gotten his feet down and in-bounds. They are very shaky. ATE
DA sucked in throwing to Mass and he still caught it on his knees. DA threw the ball to the target too late. Massa
got hit after he caught it, instead of having a decent pass in time, where he could have made a play yac.
Robiskie could NOT have come down in bounds, DA threw the pass too far past the sideline. It was all Rob could do to
stretch as far as he could, and nearly STILL kept his feet inbounds.
DA still threw ints, stupid ints, threw into the dirt, threw 10 yards too high, stumblybumblied on his feet, fumbled the ball,
stared down his receivers, got at least one pass batted, ... and threw so hard on 5 yd short routes that even the Pitt announcers
wondered what the hell he was doing it for
give it up, Stan. DA stunk up the joint. He did actually throw to Lewis, who should have caught it, though it was too hard still,
and accidently threw a nice little touch pass to Vickers for the TD. Too little, too late, too rarely. I'd love to have the Eagles' third string qb.

Hope you don't have a hunters arrow in your shoulder?
-
Nope. There never was anybody at all.
In fact, the deer stand facing our woods in that far corner, about 25 yards out in the back corn field,
has been taken down.
I have a hunch a conversation was made with the property owner or something.
I was all over our woods, 14 acres, and the neighbor's woods (I watch his land too), 16 acres...
just two deer sneaking through the woods behind me, and three squirrels, and some loud crows.
In fact, I was sitting about 8:30 am, at the base of a great oak, and thought he was sneaking up on me,
to send that arrow at me. But that was when I turned and saw the deer.
At certain places, I'm a pretty good target from outside our woods...
In fact, if DA keeps embarrassing the fans like he is, maybe next Sunday I'll go way out there, put a blindfold on,
and make myself be lost in the woods so I don't have to watch him.

Here's the good. Watched a bunch of the Directv Superfan shortcuts, and the Browns are definitely not the worst team in the NFL. Incidentally DA isn't even the worst starting qb in the NFL- that would be Tampa Bay's.
Cal has some good points- I'll add Anderson saw an all out blitz coming, and was clueless how to react. DA blows. I watched the entire Saints- Giants game, and I'll add in this observation- compared to Brees and Manning, DA's major flaw is he has no sense of timing. LOL, I'd trade Anderson to the Giants for Carr in a heartbeat.

Good point. JT was very good yesterday.

Very Good Player JT... HArrison was wore out after that game.

Some nice observations.
I agree on McDonald. I think he is pretty good at coverage, but his tackling is like Deion Sanders...too bad for McDonald Sanders brought so much to his team he could get away with arm tackles.
I agree on Harrison..if we are going to use him to pick up a blitz we might as well see if putting a red jersey on the qb fakes out the defenders and they don't touch him.
Lewis is done.
I agree on Cribbs...we need to run more WildDawg and even though he threw the pick, we need to work more passing plays in to the mix when he is at qb...some true pass/run options off the roll out. I would start working that this week.
Playing him in that role is like turning a qb in to a extra O-lineman. Seems to me we can use as many offensive linemen on the field as possible.
Call it a gimmick if you want. I don't care what it is if it moves the ball.
That is the object of offensive football, is it not?
