Wilson started with some jitters but he picked it up after the first quarter Najee is starting to run in a way that makes me regret not picking his option Pickens looked good Highsmith being back Beenie Was great two interceptions Defense forgot about the bad play and shut the Aaron Rogers show down
Well, I actually picked the Jets in this one and I'm happy to be wrong. After a bad start, the offense showed life. It's nice to see them score 30+ in two straight. Wilson, Harris, and Pickens all had good games and they got better as the game went on. Wilson seems to see the whole field and has touch on the ball. I was happy to see the TEs involved too. Bishop had two picks and, overall, it was a great night for the defense. Elliot is a good player with some physicality. Special teams on FGs is great. It's tough picking something bad. I don't know. Officiating was ugly. The call on the blocked extra point was bad. There were other calls too but the point is made. Well, on to the Giants. The Steelers should be 6-2 into the bye and, are a few plays away from a possible 8-0. I hope the offense in the last two weeks is a sign of things to come.
The Good: 5-2 and putting up points. Peyton Wilson starting to make an impact. Our 4th round pick McCormick is playing good ball as is the backup center.McCollum. Pickens is a freak, no way they can let him walk in free agency if they keep QB's who feed him. Two blocked kicks, one officially because the refs sucked buffalo ass. Great FA signing in Elliot. Finally getting Darnell Washington the ball. 4 batted passes by Benton, Watt, and Heyward. Then there's our undrafted free agent who picks off Rodgers twice. The Bad: the red zone offense in the first 20 minutes were FG kickers. Broderick Jones had another bad game, I hope the big fella keeps working and getting better. The Ugly: Browns fans cheering Watson getting carted off the field. The tackling on the Breece Hall TD.
The Good: A offensive coordinator that takes advantage of the personnel on the opposing defense. Who knew throwing the ball against a secondary with starters banged up would work? I mean it helped the running game was mostly working, but still nice to see play calls designed to go after the backup just coming into the game. The Bad: the Giants OL yesterday. Felt a little bad for Daniel Jones, guy got killed by the Eagles. Hope it’s more of the same next week. The Ugly: The leverage call on Minkah Fitzpatrick. When Cris Collinsworth disagrees with a call against the Steelers you know it was bad. Horrible call, caused a 3 point swing.
The worst call was the personal foul on Ogunjobi. He didn’t tackle a QB , no face mask or horse collar. Then in the second half the Jets tackled Najee and it looked just like that tackle.
I dunno, I wanna see a few guys back. Herbig for one. The difference with Highsmith was evident, but add it Herbig to rotate in and keep them fresh and that's a better defense.
