My point was that we weren't winning the game if we couldn't run the ball and control the clock. Steelers ganged up on the run game. They would show a light box DJ would audible and they would bring a couple guys down in the box to counter. This is a thing that will come where DJ can run the game from under center. Seems like we never have enough blockers. They run when it’s a passing look and leave 5 OL to block 7 defenders. |

My employees would be shocked to find out that I am a big softy, but that seems to be the case, judging from the comments in this thread.
See, I though that a QB's on his 14th start would get fooled the way Watt did him, and that they would make mistakes like the 2nd INT.
Me...I saw:
a QB who had better, but not great pocket awareness
a QB who seemed to understand that he cannot hold the ball out for anyone to swat at
a QB who was able to read a blitz and react to some degree
a QB who can put a ball where it needs to go at times.
a QB with good wheels who should never have taken sliding lessons from Eli
I didn't realize that he was not to have any flaws in his game at this point, like Allen and Mayfield.

Thats what you miss with a vet QB getting in and out of plays quick and the right plays. |
