Here are TPs quotes immediately following the game on the Harrison pick-
“We don’t win the Super Bowl if he doesn’t catch that and score,” Polamalu said. “If he catches it [but doesn’t score], we lose the Super Bowl.”
"In my mind I’m like, 'If I leave my guy and I go over there and they don’t throw it, Coach [Dick] LeBeau is going to be really mad at me,'" Polamalu said. "So in my mind I’m like, 'Do I go, do I not go? Do I go, do I not go?'"
I never heard of the mash up until I heard Tomlin crediting it to himself and acting as if he were responsible for the Bucs turnover conversion in the SB he was a DB coach in. In fact the sidelines footage in the SB highlight footage.

And Fitzgerald was diverted so far OOB he had no chance to catch up enough to catch Harrison in time. A couple of guys did also catch up at the end, but they only had Clark to pass up and had better angles to do it.
No, Townsend needed to stick to Warner immediately. Kiesal's peel back was irrelevant. And the whole point is if the convoy was effective no one catches up in the end. More importantly I just looked at two random regular season int returns vs the Ravens and they had better blocking. Point is, this defense has always looked to annihilate offensive players on returns...back when we were good anyway.
it's still yggy wrote:hey, hey, hey. Not drilling for at least two hours of practice per day on 99 yard TDs returns is on TOMLIN. No one else.
I was going to leave the whole thing alone...but there is always a wise ass that suggests just the opposite of what I think lately.
