EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I anticipate a much different defensive effort against the fish. I've got a feeling Rex and Co will be feeling a little blitz happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobonators Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Job one, we gotta stop "Franklyn" Ajayi. 204 yds rushing against the Squeelers. Its clear that the Steelers looked completely passed the Fish this week with their upcoming game vs Pats next week @home. The one steelers player puking in the end zone said it all about this game. Shaq Lawson coming back right? Hopefully Dareus can play too. If they can both play 30% of the snaps that would be a huge addition to the defense.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Injury update: Clay & Seymour While the Bills dodged a major bullet with LeSean McCoy narrowly escaping a major knee injury late in the first half, another offensive playmaker did not finish the game. TE Charles Clay left the game with an ankle injury in the second half. CB Kevon Seymour also left the game late in the second half. Head coach Rex Ryan provided an update.

We know nothing about Shaq at the NFL level- he needs to prove himself before im willing to say he will be an addition. Same goes Ragland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Strange game in Miami yesterday...Fish "dominated" in run game but couldn't score consistently in red zone (2-for-6). I look at that game with more "is Pitt as good as we thought they were" questions than being terribly impressed with the Fish. Ajayi's final 62 yards were on the last-minute TD run.

Bad teams sometimes win on Sundays. I agree with your post. Yet, it'd be a little more comforting having a healthy 99 for this game after seeing what they did on the ground yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) The Steelers are notorious for laying road eggs under Tomlin. I have no idea what to make of Miami. Before Sunday it looked like they were one of the 5 worst teams in the league and Gase was in danger of losing the team already. Now I can't tell if we just disregard the Steelers game as them just laying an egg or if the shakeups in Miami opened everyone's eyes. It sure was bad for my confidence picks.

mikef272002 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Here are Jay Ajayi's rushing yards per game this year: week 1 = 0 yards week 2 = 14 yards week 3= 28 yards week 4 = 33 yards week 5 = 42 yards week 6 = 204 yards He's not been tearing it up this year, not sure if he was hurt and the eased him in or not. We need to focus on stopping the run and getting to the QB.. Basic football this week.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 This is the game TT needs to pass for 300+. The Dolphins pass D is terrible. Split Clay and Jack's grandson out often. Hunter needs a steady diet of deep crosses with Goodwin deep up the seam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 The reason that Miami was moving the ball like that was twofold. Maybe threefold. First, they had their starting OL together which is rare. Albert, Tunsil had James all played and usually at least one is hurt. Tannehill barely touched, no pressure, big day for Ajayi. Second, Steelers have really struggled to rush the passer all year but yesterday were missing their biggest playmaker on the DL, cam Heyward, as well as their best LB, Ryan Shazier. Third, Steelers have a bad habit of playing down to their competition especially on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quinnearlysghost88 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I'm not super excited about Lawson coming into the fold just yet. No training camp. No snaps this year. And, as a rookie, he's just supposed to pick up mid-season form and contribute? I'm not sold and I don't think we should be leaning on him to make significant contributions. Especially coming off surgery. The defense is playing well. Why not just shelf him until next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
