Jeff Reed can’t kick very far
We’ve spent way too much time talking about Special Teams this year, but here we go again. We wrote a few articles over the past 2 seasons about Jeff Reed’s kickoff struggles and a some discussion over at Steelerfury.com last Sunday brought this to the front of my mind. Many fans are ...

Diagnosing the Steelers Recent Offensive Problems
Diagnosing the Steelers Recent Offensive Problems
postgameheroes.com — The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has done a lot of things very well this year, but not much went right last Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals defense held the Steelers to only 3.6 yards per play offensively. Consider that the Steelers ... (more) Diagnosing the Steelers Recent Offensive Problems
Short Yardage Formations
The Steelers are a pass-first team right now and I don’t have a problem with it. In fact, I love it. Getting more balance on offense is something we need to strive for but if you have Big Ben, Holmes, Ward, Miller, Wallace, Sweed, McDonald, Spaeth, etc…then you BETTER be a ...

Take the check down, Ben
Take the check down, Ben
postgameheroes.com — Check out how underused RBs are in the Steeler passing game. No screens, no swings, no RB vs LB mismatches in space, very few check-downs. Sack 1: A 2nd and 8 quickly turns into a 3rd and 13. These are the types of sacks that usually kill you and ... (more) Take the check down, Ben
Orakpo: Defensive Rookie Of The Year?
The Skins drafted Brian Orakpo to be a pass rushing DE but the team made him the starting strong-side LB after parting ways with Marcus Washington. Despite playing out of position, Orakpo has 7 sacks in 9 games and has helped make the Skins D one of the best pass rushing units in the league. [...]

LJ about to sign with Bengals
Link here Maybe he gets rejuvenated and plays like he did a few years ago…if so….great move for Cincy. My money is on the opposite happening. Hopefully he ruins their locker room from the inside out. There is also a chance that this upsets starting RB Ced Benson and creates ...

Never Punt
This is a really unique idea. Read this article from CNNSI last week: Virtually every time the Pulaski Academy Bruins face fourth down, the prep school team from Little Rock, Ark., goes for it. No matter the distance. And here’s the thing — the strategy works. Coach Kevin Kelley ...

Steelers vs Bengals Preview

Ziggy Hood getting more playing time
Ziggy saw 43% of the defensive snaps last week, indicating that he is earning the trust of the Steeler coaching staff. Two weeks ago he was on the field for 10 plays. The game before that, he saw 6 snaps. Dick LeBeau and the Steeler coaching staff gave credit to Ziggy for forcing the ball out ...

Polamalu/Mendenhall to make a difference
The Steelers blew an opportunity in Week 3 to beat the Bengals. They were up 13-3 and then 20-10 but couldn’t hold on to that lead. They out-gained the Bengals by 100 total yards and controlled the clock for 35 minutes. The Steelers usually win games like this but a 4th QTR comeback, an ...

Skins Shuffle O-line Again
Mike Williams will be out 2-4 weeks with an ankle injury and could be placed on injured reserve if he’s unable to get back in shape during that time. As a result, the Skins will have to put Stefon Heyer back at RT and start recently acquired Levi Jones (formerly of the Bengals) at LT. [...]
