Indy Dave Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Anyone have the game on TIVO? On the play that sealed our fate...the defensive TD by Pittsburgh in the fourth quarter, they blitzed two men on our right side. Either Mike Williams or Willis missed #21, who forced the fumble. I think #33 was picked up by both Willis and Mike, when it appeared to me one of them should have taken him and the other could have picked up #21. Did I see this play correctly? Who missed the assignment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure however. Late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 The Steelers blitzed two. WM picked up the guy he was supposed to on the outside. There was nobody left to block the second guy, and he got the sack and fumble. Nobody missed an assignment there. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-biscut Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 From the quotes I've read from the Pitt D, there was a "big hole" in the line. I'm not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Big Mike took on the DE and Willis took the inside blitzer leaving the second DB blitzer for Drew to handle. He never saw him, he was locking on Moulds on that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who missed the assignment? 189462[/snapback] As I remember it: Mike turned inside to help the guard and left Willis with a choice of two rushers. Willis correctly picked the inside rusher and left the outside guy alone - obviously Drew should have recognized and thrown "hot" but he didn't. Once again, compensating for a less than adequate guard costs us because Drew has to make a decision. Ouchie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the first sack was like that -- none of the receivers turned around to catch the ball. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodnarb Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 When there are 3 blockers and 2 people to pick them up, the lineman is usually responsible for the guy closest to the QB, or with the shortest line to the QB. THe problem was not mike williams there. It was that they did not have the right protections called for that defensive play. It was a simple matter of They Fooled Us instead of We Fooled Them.

That was a classic hot read where none of the receivers read the obvious blitz and adjusted their route. That's basic stuff. That should not be happening in week 17.

macdaddy Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Wide blitzer had a free ride but had to go way around. Bledsoe had plenty of time to recognize situation and dump short or toss away. Same non-read and sack and/or fumble we've seen the last two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An incompletion does not get you beat there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grabowr30045 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 It really hurt that villari got injured. I think many of you are right. Williams was trying to compensate for Pucillo and it just wasn't working out. If you go back and look at the tape, you will see that on almost every other play they were blitzing on big Mike's side. It doesn't help that Drew is an ***hole and has a football IQ of 70. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurtGodel77 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 That was all Bledsoe. He had exactly 6 seconds to get rid of it. I counted when I saw it again on prime time. 189601[/snapback] The guy who sacked Bledsoe wasn't blocked, and started off at or near the line of scrimmage. There is NO WAY that ANY defensive player in the NFL--not even Sam Adams--takes 6 seconds to get from the line of scrimmage to the QB. You were probably watching something in slow motion.
