Falcons @ Steelers Preseason game thread

It's game time.
Looking for more from Watt, Conner needs to show us something and Dobbs needs to start good today

 

Looking for Burns, Davis and Watt on defense, and Dobbs, Conner, and the depth OL on offense. Also curious if Bryant will play, he should since he missed a whole season. It would give Dobbs a better chance for a good start. Looking for something from Coates too. I want him to silence his critics as much as he can in a pre-season game

 

Dobbs looks small in the pocket

 

Hot Knife meets Warm Butter on this Atlanta drive.

 

Not a good look for 94 inside the 5. That 3rd and long conversion for the Falcons brought back such great memories from last January

 

91 yards and a TD in 4 1/2 minutes

7-0 Atlanta

 

2 consecutive 3 and outs for our men in black and gold

Nice punts and special teams coverage unit though so far.

 

Hargrave looks good, pretty good push from him

 

Missed tackle from Gay to give up another third and long first down

 

You're allowed to come catch the ball 56. You don't do much else

 

Another 3rd and long conversion. Least that one was contested I guess. Big hit from Davis

 

Here comes a turnover....or at least a field goal. I guess it doesn't really matter anyway

 

Very rough quarter for the Steelers. 4 third and long conversions given up, 3 of those from the backup quarterbacks...Matakavitch got trucked into the end zone, 2 3 and outs on offense...just a rough start

 

Saved by a drop on a wide open slant...badly beat Cockrell

 

3rd down D - F
Red zone D - F
Offensive creativity/71 - F

Tunch said Tuitt tipped that pass but I don't think so

 

Concussion for Hargrave

 

First carry for Conner. Not bad, got tripped up

 

Conner tripped on his first carry

 

DHB might be dropping his way out of Pittsburgh...even though he got the PI call, catch would have been better

 

Nice throw and catch from Dobbs to Bryant
