stuckincincy Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 - Pass rush upfield that takes him far past the QB.......but unlike someone like say Kelsay he has a move to be able to redirect from behind and get back to the QB in a hurry. Ben R. throws for a completion but it is short of a first down. Maybin gets a hit on the QB. - next Maybin posession Steelers convert a 3rd down.....it looks like Maybin is triple teamed. - Next Maybin posession he is double teamed.....still gets the pressure (mental note.....god Kelsay sucks.........he gets NO PUSH) - next Maybin posession......this is the Maybin sack. He gets flushed Maybins way and Maybin sacks him. Forces field goal. - Next Maybin possession...he gets credit for announcers for tackle but Ellison makes it. He got blocked. - Next Maybin possession.....Maybin rushies slightly upfield but got the edge on the OT a bit.....nearly gets Ben from behind possibly to strip the ball but not quite. Looks like he got held a bit at the end of the play. - Next Maybin possions......gets blocked..... - Next Maybin posession.....I think he got pancaked - Next Maybin possession......he takes a inside rush and gets a good hit on Batch......Batch gets it off - Next play.....swims too far upfield....double teamed - Next play gets blocked - Next play gets blocked - Next play......tackle at the LOS - Next play.....blocked.....double teamed I stopped at 4th quarter......he is already outplaing Kelsay Seems that the PGH staff watched an unknown force for a while, then figured out how to smack him down.

Lori Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Seems that the PGH staff watched an unknown force, then figured out how to smack him down. They made adjustments? During the game? That's allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 They made adjustments? During the game? That's allowed? Let's hope a rookie's eyes got widened and lessons learned. I suspect so. Maybin is no jive punk, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThereIsNoDog Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Seems that the PGH staff watched an unknown force for a while, then figured out how to smack him down. Really? They doubled him all game long, he makes plays until the end of that viewing sequence (tackle at LOS), and PGH "figured out how to smack him down?"

Thurman#1 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I really liked the way he played...especially for his first pro game against a formidable line. I hope he sees the field a lot this year. Pittsburgh does NOT have a formidable line, on the offense anyway. Far from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the TOP is something like 40 minutes to 20, and a shutout...there is no room for praise for any player. Maybin made some plays, I am told - nice. They "doubled" him, yet maintained possession AFAIK. The Bills got shoved around. O, D, ST. PS game #3 (#4 for them. I know) . I would feel better if they would have picked a fight - an on-field melee. Show some spunk (and not the vulgar usage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would feel better if they would have picked a fight - an on-field melee. Show some spunk (and not the vulgar usage). The Steelers scored 10 points, starters versus starters. This despite ZERO help from the offense, and with no Schobel. I wouldn't call that "getting shoved around," especially since the Steelers are the defending SB champs and they were playing in their house. ST's will be fine once the season starts, as they have been for the past 5 years. On offense however, you could say they were shoved around. Mostly because the ST's kept putting them in a hole (average drive start was just short of the 16 yard line). Not having TO also made the Bills revert back to the offense they've had for the past 3 years. As for picking a fight, that's just dumb. I can sort of understand being pissed over hearing players laughing in the lockerroom, but getting into a fight, no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can sort of understand being pissed over hearing players laughing in the lockerroom, but getting into a fight, no way. Yes way. PGH humiliated them. Instigate a rumble to get back some respect for your players and the team they play for. Sour grapes? You bet. So what? Just because it seems that the club doesn't have all the pieces to make a run for it, doesn't mean they have to stand for being fodder and looking like fools.
