Obligatory Packers v Steelers Gameday Thread

There is some pass rush tonight.

McCray was announced as the starter, but Spriggs was in on the first paly from scrimmage, and I think has played the whole game, so far.

Yep. I saw him on first drive.

zero sacks, and every "rush" has turned into large gains.

[ThunderDan]

We are actually getting pressure on pass plays.

Is the Packer D that bad?

Not exactly. But you need leverage to help the offense. 4th and 1 with Williams is doable.

First two times were incompletions (OK one drop). But moving the QB is good for the D.

[ZachMN]

Our defense is ridiculous. No pass rush ever. Bad tackling. bad leverage. and how is that opposing defenses get in our backfield immediately and we just bullrush and the qb steps up and picks us apart or runs free for a first down. And I agree with the cutesy play calling on M3- just pound it for gods sake. Any offense should be able to get a yard for christs sake. Do it fast no huddle have a damn code word so the d can't set.

So was 3rd and 1 but Stubby had to be Stubby.

just can't bring the blitz - Ben eats that up like Rodgers.

Nah, Cobb up the gut is the ticket

I can't remember a play in the last three games in which Williams lost yardage. He usually falls forward.

I vote "Stubby" for the code word

[Bretsky]

Jordy and Jones. Just got old.

I'll give you Jordy a couple years ago

But Jones was not a stellar route runner who beat guys off the LOS. He was better than most #3 or #4 CB's though. When he left Rodgers he was invisible

To be fair, they were deeper in their own territory than I thought.

he prefers 'dive' forward.
