Kingston Bills Fan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 There is no reason to be in Nickel base defence in this game. Against Mason Rudolph in the wind and snow they will not be passing the ball. They are going to run and run over and over. I feel like it will take McD having a couple TD’s scored against him to get out of Nickel and hope it’s not too late when points will be at a premium. It’s the only way Pit can win. Go heavy and stop the run for the win. Also absolutely no need for Von Miller out there. Use Shaq and Kingsley and secure the edges go big. 5 3 6 1 3 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Steelers will use 3 TEs and Harris a lot in this game. Bills had a lot of injuries in game vis Fish. If Bills are able to throw the ball they can keep game out of reach of them however. https://www.steelers.com/team/injury-report/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) McDermott has been great this year as defensive coordinator, especially given all the injuries. You still don't trust him? Have a little faith. McDermott knows what he is doing. Edited January 12 by MJS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Play 44 defense. 4 DL 4 LB 3 DB The 4 LB's mix Spector/Poyer/Dobson. Even Klein to keep bodies fresh. We can get banged up defensively. Ford, Joseph need to be up. Miller, for his knees sake, isn't needed. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming you are calling Taron Johnson a LB since you only named 3 LBs and he is one of the best at diagnosing plays and tackling. Or you forgot to include Terrel Bernard. Tyler Matakevich will likely be playing in relief as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnNord Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 They did sign AJ Klein so I think there’s a chance they show a true 4-3 but it’s not teams haven’t tried to run when Taron is on the field. He’s just very good and he allows them to stay in Nickel without getting victimized. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo Montoya Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I hope they sit Von again and activate Linval Joseph. I don't see Von getting much push or speed on a slick field.

oldmanfan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Taron Johnson plays the run well. So does Cam Lewis if Rapp is out. So does Poyer. And Spector played well for Dodson last week. If guys are out then make Joseph active. With him and Daquan et al up front we should play the run just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 We don't need to get out of nickel personnel. Because taking Johnson off the field for another linebacker (a position at which we are already thin) definitively makes this defense weaker. People talk like Taron struggles against the run. He is one of the best run defenders on the team. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there’s as big of a distinction between a big time regular season game and a playoff game as people make it sound. We’ve been playing playoff football for weeks now against playoff teams battling for seeding and the defense has played well. 1 minute ago, The Jokeman said: I don't think we have 4 healthy starting caliber LBs on the roster to pull that off.

All the talk about Pitt has been interesting to me…you’d think they are calling the army offense and just running every play lol. Really their running game has been mediocre and they’ve been getting it done throwing when the box gets crowded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
