Steelers at Broncos Game Comments and Lamentations

[.Kodiak]

Doesn't seem like that used to be an infraction. Way outside and I thought he got back on?

[drmalba]

Jones footwork is horrendous.

Well, the brain trust has him playing out of position

And in a position where his bad arm is the most exposed

So I’m not putting this all on the player

Plus that last holing call was pretty weak

Agreed. I can't figure out why he isn't at LT unless Fautanu is on a serious pitch count.

[Charles Demarr]

Jones is sloppy and lazy. Said it all week.

This. He’s lazy as fuck, easy to see.

That throw from Fields is the best throw a Steelers QB has made since Big Ben went deep to Markus Wheaton against Seattle.

Damn shame it got called back.

Fields has an absolutely unbelievable arm.

[LakecrestSteeler]

Broderick earned his benching.

But in fairness to him why is he getting jerked around at right tackle so that Dan Moore is comfortable?

Start him where he’s meant to be and let this young line grow together. You can go back to Dan Moore if Broderick flops, which he probably would have by the looks of things. But this was handled poorly.

This too.

Looked to me like it could have been a sack if he didn't grab the jersey. Hard to tell because it wasn't much, but it might have been enough.

He shouldn’t be grabbing there. A good punch would’ve worked.

From what I’ve read, he can’t due to the injury

Then he shouldn’t be on the field

Fields has an absolutely unbelievable arm.

If you can limit him from thinking and reading defense he has all the tools. Arthur Smith’s offense is the best fit for him.

[LakecrestSteeler]

The block that Jones held long enough? Or something else?

Moore played well last week and he's playing well this week.

No....Jones sure as fuck does not need to be starting at LT.

His footwork honestly looks like he's never pass blocked before.

It's a throw you see MAYBE once a month in the entire NFL. So amazing they'll have to replay it on all the highlight shows eventhough it got called back.

Had the same thought. Denver played jumped once Highsmith was back. In those cases they tend to just flag defense.

[Stlcrtn1974]

I was one that thought Fields is Garbage, pleasantly surprised so far. Beautiful throw to Pickens, shame it didn't count.

Fields has a caveman QB mind and he thankfully went to a civilization that hasn't discovered fire yet.

Win-win.

A better o line coach would help Jones. And Dotson would still be a Steeler

No, the neutral zone infraction on Highsmith. Jone definitely grabbed that guy.

We've seen this before.

You let a young QB get a little comfortable and.....

I think one of the interior OL guys jumped and the Ref was forced to call it.

Had the same thought. Denver played jumped once Highsmith was back. In those cases they tend to just flag defense.

And the guy that jumped was on the complete opposite side of the line

Watt held on that sack.

No flag.

[K_C_]

Watt touches you and you fall.

[Stillerz Bar]

Watt held on that sack.

No flag.

That feels a lot like what used to happen to Harrison.... OTs regularly hold but the refs don't call it.

[LakecrestSteeler]

Feels like fake punt territory, especially after the Pitt game.

[anpsteel]

Watt held on that sack.

No flag.

It sure looked like it

Now that was funny!

[tbsteel]

Bad TO. They were getting ready to punt.

[swissvale72]

Don't like this timeout. Gives Payton chance to change his mond

[K_C_]

Detroit had a beautiful fake punt today against the Bucs.

[zeke5123]

Watt held on that sack.

No flag.

That feels a lot like what used to happen to Harrison.... OTs regularly hold but the refs don't call it.

If they didn’t, Watt would have 3 sacks a game.

Refs allow OL to hold rushers that are just too good.

One of the things that's always pissed me off is we seem to do a really poor job of teaching our OL how to hold. Mind you, they grab plenty after they get beat. And that's the problem - they need to learn how to grab, "legally", BEFORE they get beat.

[K_C_]

Is Payton retarded?
