And the most frustrating thing about it is that there are run-first offenses in the league that are truly tough, and they work! However, they’ve adapted their schemes to the modern NFL. We have not; heck, our plan has centered around making the league adapt to our obsolete college schemes…. Not ideal.
The Steelers receivers are easy to scheme for because Canada's offense is predictable and Sophomoric. He doesn't put his players in the best position to succeed.
49ers have the leading rusher and great running game, but their receivers are always wide open, because the opponent can't load up to stop the run or get burned by the pass, in our case, if we can't run against a D stacked up to stop the run, we have to pass mostly when they know it's coming and our receivers are never really open, no matter what down it is. Kenny has been bad, but 95% of the time he has to throw directly at covered receivers fighting for contested catches, how often do we get a receiver running free in space?
Hoke has gone full Yinzer.
why, because he doesnt think mitch is good?
I’m no hypocrite. I’m all for benching Jurkovec, despite the very real possibility that the backups are worse…because why not? Maybe things work better, guys click better with the backup. And it’s the same with Pickett. I frankly doubt Mitchie Boy or Rudolph are better, but I’m all for trying it. Coaches owe it to the customers to try everything reasonable to win.
It's just such a weird thing to say. I've always thought that you could do a lot worse with a backup but at the end of the day, that's all he's ever going to be. If anyone in the league thought he was better than anyone else on the roster, he'd be starting somewhere.
He’s not even been judged good enough to be someone else’s SECOND STRING
so we have one qb who stays in the pocket too long and we have pickett who runs out of the pocket too quickly. and then we have mitch, who doesnt do anything well.
Nah. They’re exactly the same. The game, that day, is all that matters. You have the starter who sucks that day and hopeless to play better; and backups who might potentially be better in that game. The game is what matters. F the egos and psyches. Try anything, any backup, to win the game you’re in at that moment. If that means activating the team manager on the spot to play so be it.
I think it’s differing philosophies. I’m not sure what yours is on the subject, maybe you see the season as a long term chess match with complex intricacies a some such thing. That’s fine, if you are happy that way.
Agreed 100%, I don't care at all about being 9-8, personally to me, it's more important for KP to get a full audition, even if they go 5-12, I'd like to know sooner, rather than later if I need to get someone else because he's a bust, and so far, indications are that he is. Of course, the dumbass Rooneys will keep him around 4-5 years even if he sucks, because that is what they do, to them, ANY change, whether it's the head coach or the 1975 run offense is scary and horrifying
Send this to the other owners and make sure you remind them of this statement. Because I can give you a long list of coaches that "look like them" who shouldn't have touched an NFL sideline.
Go look at the OL's PFF grades and get back to me on why KP is bailing so quickly. You could have literally just fallen down and gotten in front of a pass rusher and graded better than Dan Moore before he got hurt.
Sort of proves he doesn't understand the problem or worse, is trying to protect his coordinators by suggesting the game plan was solid and the players just didn't play hard enough.
Wow. This is not only true but substitute Pitt and Narduzzi and Cignetti in your passage, and it exactly fits us as well
Ben had a better knack to absorb punishment of a bad line, as well as get a pass off amid turbulence, then the three turkeys we have now. He IS a HOF QB after all.
Omar may be just another lazy hire,Did he have any GM experience.Basically two 1st round picks that can’t get on the field.
He's like one of these old school morons, like Rooney himself, no need to do Xs & Os, no need for fancy schemes, just "work hard and practice more" then we'll just execute the fundamentals better, and we'll let you know what's coming and dare you to stop us. then they'll get the usual, their asses handed to them
A lot of people like to make fun of WVU being INBREDS, but the Steelers are the best example of being INBRED as an organization, always hire from within or a former employee or native Yinzer "local guy" never look for fresh outside ideas.
There is not much separation among the 3 QBS .Do you think Mitch was given a fair shot.He’s played no worse in his 1st four games last year than Kenny has played this year.Kenny’s had the benefit of all first team reps for a full off season and 17 games.
Kenny can’t do much about that, though by now I’m sure the drunken douche bags on the Fan are accusing him of that, too
