DefensiveMan 758 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 We played Sorenson as an inside backer all 1st half. Why on the earth I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutton does don't dumb shit And then he doesn't send a weapon like Houston This team should be destroying pockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dablueguy 0 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I don't get and have never gotten this staff's love affair with Sorenson, and why he was signed to that inflated contract. He's a decent utility player, OK in small doses, but the more he plays, the more he's exposed. Murray should be the Berry replacement starter, not that anyone can replace the best S in the game, and Sorenson should play as sparingly as possible, and never as a run stopper.

JPPT1974 21 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Yeah as really think that Sorenson is good but not like elite. Even though the media loves him it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankstromboli 25 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 it is a great article but the problem Im having is Sutton's inability to adjust when his scheme is not functioning. We were getting gashed by Pitts run d. Man up in the box and stop it. Make big ben throw the ball, he's been a train wreck lately. Instead of taking away the run, which is Pittsburgh's strong suit, we let them run all day and take the game out of ben's hands. Its confusing to me as I would stop Bell and take my chances with Ben(who's been very very inconsistent. Im not a d coordinator but it would make sense to me to stop the run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Dan not living up to that name at all. After that ball was tippes by Gaines, Sorensen should have thrown his body at Brown and knock his ass on the ground. It’s like he went into the contact with his eyes closes holding a purse man like cmon this team knocked us out of the playoffs last season, can we get a lil physical please? This is football damnit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mloe68 1,521 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Steelers only scored 19 points and created a turnover. Hard to blame scheme there v. It's up to our offense to counter their clock killing run offense by doing the same. And Sorensen was awful yesterday. Missed tackles were a major issue overall.

Murray should be the Berry replacement starter, not that anyone can replace the best S in the game, and Sorenson should play as sparingly as possible, and never as a run stopper. I'd like to see the snap counts but I believe both played instead of Sorenson in for Murray. I think they put in Sorenson where Ragland/Ramik would have been which clearly wasn't a good plan. Bottom line is the defense is average to above average at best, honestly you can say it's basically the Alex Smith of defense (apart from his first 5 games this year). The defense is conservative and gives up huge chunks between the 20's but then tightens up once you are in the red zone which is why we are always at the bottom of yards allowed but at the top at points given up.

Defense is playing very conservatively. I remember last year, Sutton would blitz all day and we'd live and die by the blitz. Not really seeing that this year. It's ok to play conservative but time of possession was huge fro the Steelers. I believe the first quarter time was 12 &1/2 minutes for Pitts. That kills a defense and the offense has no chance to get on the field and start producing. The bend but dont break style of defense can really kill an entire team and it was proven by Pittsburgh. Final time of possession (36:39 to 23:21). That's a backbreaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It may not be possible to replace Berry but Sutton should at least try leaving a single guy back there at times. We are committing 2 guys deep and trying to make due with the rest against both pass and the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is wasting Houston and time of possession. Houston is paid big bucks. Why if he is used this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
