OK. Let me impersonate wist. Why are we playing a 2-4 when there is no Johnson and Burleson?

Defense playing off?

[pbmax]

Hawk won that audible battle. pick with nice stop.

However, play before Shields whiffed on tackle

[pittstang5]

uh.....

[pbmax]

Defense playing off?

Yep. Waiting for Stafford to do something dumb?

Jones with nice blitz

[pittstang5]

nice jones, way to keep going even after you tripped

[Teamcheez1]

They are really playing soft to start the game. Why the 5-10 yard cushion? Dom must not realize Johnson is out.

[pbmax]

uh.....

I think they are worried about the short fast screen game to Bush and bunched receivers more than Bush running.

[pbmax]

Well, that last 3 plays were perfect 3-4 fire zone defense.

The "let them make a mistake"defense works as long as they make mistakes.

Still, that high effort blitz by Jones was a good force into bad down and distance.

Could be that. But I think Goose/Johnston's point about concern about the screen game and fast short passes is more likely the cause.

So far, Bush has only carried twice.

[pittstang5]

f that

[pittstang5]

don't matter, holding?

[pbmax]

Simultaneous. Tie goes to the offense on a penalty?

[swede]

Pink flags strike me as a bad idea.
