Jerry being looked at to replace Murtha ? Starks had 45 snaps, ditto Langford Which is why fixing the running game is job #1, they have to pull that Safety into the box. Jason Allen's nose for the ball is just so tough to take off of the field, Smith is a better coverage corner, but JA's all around game is better. Sooner or later Tony, you have to face the facts.. As an aside, it seems to me that this game is exactly what the SparanoPhins are built for, stop the run, run the ball. Koa has grown on me, I am a self described Ikaika Francis homer, but Koa is just so hard to keep blocked that you have to like his game. Keep an eye on #59 though, Ikaika was manhandling Steelers blockers, more time and he will have more results and it looks like his explosiveness has improved as well.
The safety thing you can see (even though he quoted it wrong) I have been saying all year Brown has been dancing way to much, Williams hits the hole faster, but I hold my breath with him afraid he is going to fumble. Smith needs to be back at CB
Also saw on twitter that Cincy is getting an extension to try and stop a local blackout in Cincinnati. Any Dolphins fans in the Ohio area you can probably get a good price on tickets!
They had it both ways, single high safety and two high, so I just took the first one. Love Ronnie B, he is dancing to much, and is one of the problems on offense, I suspect he really wants/wanted a new contract and it is messing with him that he did not land one. That is not a swipe at Ronnie Brown as he has been one of the most sincere NFL players I've come across, I'd like to see him drop his shoulder and power through the hole and turn that ship around. Interceptions are like Crack for Coaches NJ, they can say "well, we will play so and so.." game time rolls around..and they want that ball back, they need that ball back...
On the penalty TMD got ( not warranted imo ) , LOVED the strength and disdain he showed by throwing th Steeler to the ground like he was a minor annoyance in his way ... Keep getting better big man !
I meant they said defense not offense to point one. As much as interceptions are crack for coaches, long TD passes against are job killers for coaches.
You can always give Safety help over the top, there is no scheme that creates interceptions, that is up to the individual players to create. Guys who create turnovers do not grow on trees.
Is this the first of three coaches to admit the same thing that we have seen in the past five years? I don't think I have ever seen the admission before. As a side note..... Members have been asking all week why we QUIT running to the left. That is what made me take special notice of a Ronnie Brown run to the right in the second quarter run versus the Steelers. I noticed something weird. McQuistan pulled to the left and kicked out. Ronnie Brown took the handoff to the right and did his little hop step. He was tackled by the unblocked DE. IT WAS A FREAKING COUNTER blown up by none other than our backfield dancing queen. Loss of 2.........
Happens to them every year. Kroger or P&G will buy up the lot and help them out... I feel for them having Mike Brown as an owner. Just terrible.
