Pitt - GT Game Thread

[rpastir]

Let’s go Pitt!

 

[rpastir]

C’mon….let’s see some pressure on the QB….and tackling

 

[Duneaux Harm]

Would have preferred a shut down but 3 is better than 7

 

[rpastir]

Ok, the D gave up 3. Let’s see what the offense can do.

 

[DruidTM]

That better be GTs best drive … it should have been shut down on numerous occasions.

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

Still have never seen an opposing kicker miss a FG against us in this ‘difficult’ stadium… even a guy who hasn’t made one in two years before this.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

I want to complain about letting them get a field goal after we dominated most of the plays, but that may be the last 3 they get.

 

[rpastir]

I still don’t like Izzy in on KOmreturns.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Put Bradley on the bench from now until he transfers.

And that should be Pitt’s only 3 and out.

 

[Burgh15]

Spend two weeks against cupcakes running every play. Playing in 50 degrees and rain and decide to air it out.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Bradley is terrible.

It’s going to be a long game

 

[DonDaJewla]

Leading rusher in ACC doesn’t touch ball first series.

 

[Saboteur II]

It would help if our receivers caught the ball with their hands. You cannot trap the football against your body.
This is a pattern.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

And that should be Pitt’s only 3 and out.

Let's hope so. We know they'll start with two handoffs next drive to compensate for that last one.

CATCH

THE

BALL

 

[rpastir]

Nice job by the D. 3 and out.

 

[Black Panther]

And here we go with the crap camera work.

 

[rpastir]

The offense is having a shaky start.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Sorry, but Slovis doesn't have it between the ears. He's not terrible, but he doesn't get it. His decision-making is pure shit if his first read isn't there.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Need to lean heavily on the running game because Slovis isn't looking great so far.

 

[rpastir]

Sorry, but Slovis doesn't have it between the ears. He's not terrible, but he doesn't get it. His decision-making is pure shit if his first read isn't there.

That’s something that can be improved. I remember folks saying the same thing about Pickett his first couple of years.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

The offense is having a shaky start.

A QB throwing behind a "tight end" and then throwing a guy who was short of the sticks anyway right into a safety when he had much more time in the pocket doesn't help.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

That’s something that can be improved. I remember folks saying the same thing about Pickett his first couple of years.

Well, this is year 4 for Slovis.

Before you blame him perhaps you should take a look at the amount of time the guy has to scan the field. This is what happens when you spend the last two games focusing on running the ball. GT is a lot bigger then the previous two opponents and unless cignetti starts throwing the ball downfield a little bit, Pitt may very well be in danger of losing this game.

A lot of it is pre-snap. You have to diagnose the defense and know where to look. That's what made Kenny so good. Look what he did behind the Steelers sieve of an o-line in the preseason.

“Possible Targeting “. My Ass

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Dude, Dennis is under review for targeting about every third half.

 

[rpastir]

“Possible Targeting “. My Ass

I don’t know if it matters, but the QB lowered his head into the defender.

 

[Dan1911]

Pitt regularly flagged for BS targeting while when it's blatant that our guys are getting killed it's NEVER called.

 

[Dan1911]

If slovis blows this series, put in the backup...either of them that's available.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

I'd like to say we're playing with our food, but we haven't exactly been firing on all cylinders all season. We have so much trouble putting together a smooth performance this season.

 

[DruidTM]

3 possessions

absolutely nothing

Slovis has to know when to get rid of the ball. Pitt offense has zero momentum

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

He doesn't understand football. There's one dude in the backfield. You don't casually linger right beside him. Take a few proactive steps to where there is literally nobody in the pocket.

 

[Dan1911]

Is this Pitt or the Steelers? Looks like MT back there. And more BS 3-and-outs.

 

[Burgh15]

Get rid of replay.

 

[Dan1911]

Trap game. Those who arrogantly said otherwise are dumb.

 

[Burgh15]

Never have I seen so many flags picked up except against Pitt. Then we have to waste time on a replay.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Get rid of replay.

I'll take that one!
