Well, I wasn't planning a per play analysis like santhome did for Holme, but here is what I saw from Hines Ward last night.  I guess everybody already knew this, but he does something on every play.  Even if it's a running play away from him, Hines is throwing a block on someone.  Also, a couple of times, he was involved in sealing off a defender, allowing Najeh to turn a no gain into a 3-6 yard gain.  Also on passing plays, it looked like he was always looking like he may be the target, even when the ball went somewhere else.  

Hines had 3 catches in the first half.  The first was the 19 yard reception that santhome referenced above, on the Steelers' 2nd possession.  That was a great catch to convert a 3rd down.  It was a little high, but Ward was able to go up and bring it down.  I seem to remember a couple of defenders around him by the time he came down with it.  The second and third were on the Steelers' 4th possession. The 2nd was a 4 yard gain on first down, the first play of the possession.  The 3rd was an 11 yard catch on 1st down.  On that one, Hines had to go down to catch it on his knees.  Another tough catch for him.

I'll have to finish watching the game to give a 2nd half report on him.

The second TD to Washington was again just a fly route where Ben put the ball in a good position for Nate to make a play on it.

I don't think Ced caught a pass although he was out there some. I didn't see Willie Reid out there on offense but he almost got into a fight on special teams.

Negatives: To tell you the truth Keisel didn't do a single thing that was really impressive. He didn't have a single tackle or QB pressure and seemed to have a problem getting off blocks. He rarely got penetration into the backfield and at times just seemed content with staying on the LOS and trying to bat ball down.

Positives: The only good thing I can say is he didn't get driven off the ball a single time.

Colon
Overall: Colon actually looked better than I expected him to and he looked equally good in running and passing situations. The one part of his game that needs some work though is consistency but hopefully that will come with playing time.

Negatives: He had one false start penalty on the Steelers second drive. On Glover's first sack Colon was part of a double team and it seemed like he pulled off a bit early allowing Glover to get through. The only other play where he got abused was one of the goal line plays where he almost got knocked over at the point of contact. There were many times that he didn't get much push at all.

Positives: Colon didn't get beat one on one for any sack or give up a negative running play all night, and I don't remember a single time that he got driven into backfield. There were a couple of stretches that you could tell he played with a mean streak and really blew his guy off the ball.

Hines in the second half was much like the first half.  He had another 3 catches.  The first was a wide receiver screen for about 5 yards.  The other two were for about 6-8 yards, and both were 3rd down conversions on drives that lead to points.

Again, his blocking was important to several runs.  One thing that I didn't realize before is how active Hines is in run blocking at the line of scrimmage.  I've heard about him being the greatest blocking receiver ever, but I associated it with blocking down the field.  Sometimes, he was like another blocking TE on running plays.  I saw a couple plays where he helped seal the edge or provided a block to open up the hole on run play.  Also, on runs up the middle, he would run around behind the D-line and look to block a LB or safety.

Overall, a solid game in every aspect.  Three key 3rd down conversions, several blocks that helped Najeh gain an extra 2-3 yards, and, oh yeah, he just broke the last Steelers receiving record.  So, now he's the Steelers' all time leader in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving TDs.

It was a good week for Sepulveda, who won the Steelers' rookie award...

And in case you'd forgotten why I love this kid - watch this again.

Positives:

-Held point of attack well.  Didn't get driven off the ball and turned the RB back inside on Ste Jays first TD run (no one there, however).  Good leverage on everything.  Kept his COG low.  Attacked the LOS very well.

-While blitzing had good penetration.  Really made the OL and any RB/FB blockers work to keep him off Bulger.  Collapsed the pocket once in the first half, and once in the second half, resulting in a QB hit on Frerotte.  Two plays later Harrison came from the backside just as Woodley had done, resulting in a quick throw and Ike's INT for a TD.

-Dropped back well in zones.  Kept his head while someone was in his zone (flat routes, drag routes, etc).  Stayed within range of receivers, but did not "overpursue" and get caught out of position.  Did not appear as "stiff" as he was earlier in the year dropping back/moving around.

Negatives:

-Missed tackles.  Had several opportunities to take down the ball carrier and only converted 20% of the time (1-5).  This included a pretty weak attempt and a simply stiff-arm on Ste Jays 2nd (I believe) TD run.  

-Most of the time seemed to be caught thinking rather than reacting (which resulted in the 4 missed tackles).  Attacked ball carrier well at Michigan, and should grown and adapt in the pros.

-Probably because of the thinking/rather than reacting, took a few horrible AOPs, including the  stiff-arm Ste Jay TD.  Also could still be adjusting to the speed of game.

That's it.  Like I said to begin the post, he played the entire 2nd and 3rd defensive series, then rotated in and out with both Haggans and Harrison, presumably to keep the two fresh.  Also, when Harrison was injured for a few plays/a series Woodley stepped in and was solid.  

Overall I'd grade his performance a B-.  Not flashy, missed a few tackles, but (besides the tackles) had the fundamentals down, just needs more time to learn/adjust.
