Lughead Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I would give them an A for their pressure on Ben. Tuck and Tollefson had a sack each and Kiwanuka had 3 Sacks .I am pretty sure that's his career high. also for their run stopping. Then you look at the secondary and see the long balls they gave up. so I give them a grade of B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 B- Played good, gave up some deep passes, came on late in the game but the run D was there all night expect for the one run by Moore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow you are a tough grader. 14 points given up on two big plays...B+ in my book. Gave the offense great field position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYG Hampton 27 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 3 crappy plays (one got called back), but an overall solid game. I mean 14 points allowed with 5 sacks and 4 ints is a real good game. Butler's play on the long td was mind boggling, wtf was he doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesta Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 4 turnovers. 95 yards rushing. 150 yards passing. We gave up one big run play and one big pass play. You take those two out of Pitt's total and we destroyed them. This was a good team we beat and shit happens (esp with an aggressive defense), so I won't take away for the big plays. A f'ing + Shit I didn't even mention the 5 sacks and 2 FF's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, that they came up big and man they sure was laying the wood son. But the secondary is still susceptible to giving up the long ball . We are lucky Colon was Holding on that long bomb to Washington. Butlers dance did allow Washington to gain 20-30 more yards and score. we may of went in to OT and lost.

Nas Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Wow you are a tough grader. 14 points given up on two big plays...B+ in my book. Gave the offense great field position. I agree. The long passes (I think it was only one since the other was called back for holding) is the only thing negative.. other than that It was a great effort.

TrashTalker92 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 i give our front 4 an A LB a B- they didn't do much that outs shine our front four. did an avg job but let that TD rush.. our secondary a B-, where the hell did ROSS go??.. Webster is the only star i. that long TD Pass made "what's his name" look like a dog chasing his tail.. anyway, overall, our D deserves a B+. the PLUS is for smacking that smile out of Hines Wards freaking face....

BleedinBlue Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 A-minus If not for a couple of bad plays in the secondary (namely Butler doing the two-step like he was on Dancing With the Stars), I'd give them a solid A or even an A+. Heck, we had big Ben on his heels all day and he looked dazed and confused on the sidelines. We put him on the ground repeatedly and when he did get the ball off, our boys stepped up and picked it off. It took 4 quarters, but Moore finally got put in his place. Kiwi, Tuck, Tollefson, and Phillips looked like genuine old-fashioned football studs out there. Clark and Johnson also looked very good and Kehl showed signs of real promise. It was a hard fought old fashioned smash-mouth football game between two top defensive teams. Our offense sucked win, but the defense kept us in the game until we could finally take advantage of the Steelers many miscues. If the offense was ticking the way it should, it would've been a blowout. We looked like shit in the red zone and were damn lucky that Eli didn't get picked off in the end zone on one of our drives.

Lubeck Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I thought he killed Moore on that unecessary roughness play. That was a bullshit penalty. One of a number of questionable penalties throughout the game. Phillips gave him a hard hit but he was doing so with the thought that the guy had the ball and a big hit would knock it loose. What is going to happen next time that situation occurs is the guy WILL catch the ball but Phillips will hold back worrying about a penalty.

Many times the D will go all out leaving the DBs in a bad situation if the rush is unsuccessful. This is what happened in the Browns game and they killed the Giants D.

Ditto Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 It's not easy to rate this one. Maybe B for the first three qtrs, and AA+ for the 4th. I wouldn't be too hard one the secondary, either since it was their play that gave the line the time to get in the qb's face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
