Steelers vs. Jaguars - 3rd Quarter Open Thread

A+ game from Arians and his offense so far. An early pick and one nice Jags drive keep this game close heading into halftime, but we're really in control through two quarters. The Jags won't be rolling over so it's imperative we play to win and go for the kill in the second half, not just hope to hold on.
GO STEELERS!

They called a hold on harrison’s guy, are these refs okay?

Just giving up the ghost. Give it up jags, give it up.

Taking a knee
They are genuflecting to Dick LeBeau and the Steelers D.

stat lines
Nate: 5 for 82
Holmes: 3 for 54
Ward: 4 for 48
Heath: 4 for 43
Moore: 11 for 46 (and 2 rec for 13)
Russell: 4 for 20
The only problem is the missed passes.
Ben is throwing it an awful lot – 18 for 29. O-line is looking decent, no more false starts.

No sacks yet, lots of hurries but we need the sacks.

Lebeau is the king of adjustments, but I’m not sure that we want to adjust…

Er, who? I don’t remember it and the stat lines don’t show it.

Garrard is a bowling ball
Seems like tacklers just slide off him while he barrels around.

I’m fine if he barrels for a yard or throws for incomplete passes though.

garrard
Has done a nice job making a few would be sackers miss. But theres no denying the fact hes been under heavy pressure for most of that 2nd quarter.

Our Dline gets serious push and holds the point of attack on runs, I’m very impressed.

Agreed
We’re bashing them. Our front 3 are just pushing them back. I’d like to see a Timmons or Troy blitz up the middle, seeing how weak they are there. The sacks are a nice number, but they don’t tell the story of a dominating first half.

BTW - Steelers only blitzed once
But it seems to be working. Remember Garrard’s highlights from last week. This is a very disciplined D

They are way, WAY too in the game for how the numbers look. An INT for 7 and a good runback will do that for you though.

Collinsworth said we only blitzed once during the first half. Intersting stat considering the pressure we have been able to get.

Ed bouchette had a good article on this today actually…

We haven’t been blitzing much at all.

He is effectively the worlds largest douchebag in live chats. He writes much better articles than the other PG guys though.

A lot of stupid questions, but sometimes he dodges a question I really want the answer to.
Douche.

2nd half
We need to limit mistakes here and let the D carry us to victory if the offense doesnt click like it did in the first half. Itd be easy to think we have it all figured out on offense and force some things. If it’s not there, no mistakes!

lots of time there for Garrard
But very nice tackling.
by Blitzburgh on Oct 5, 2008 10:07 PM EDT 0 recs
yes!
HUGE that we’re collapsing the pocket with our front 3. SO huge.

HUGE play there
That will ome back to haunt them. Gotta make that catch.

Nice stunt move there by Woodley. Again, there WRs blow donkey schlong.

BRING IT BACK BABY

HOLY CRAP STEEL NATION
Steelers passing and not getting sacked? 3 step drops? 300+ yards of offense at halftime? Jags only have 49 yards at half? Have only seen one smug look from JDR all night?
BE STILL MY HEART!
PS-Anyone think the D is just looking “average” tonight? Or am I just imagining that, because the O is on the field so long/doing so well?
by Romain El 82 on Oct 5, 2008 10:13 PM EDT 0 recs
It’s going to get worse when we drive down the field for the next TD.

Good Stunt by Woodley, 2 times now. They don’t pick it up, we need to keep doing that

knew that drop would haunt them
totally killed their momentum.

is it just me, or are their cheerleaders butt ugly?

I love that the steelers don’t have cheerleaders. Ladies are for after the game.
