Steelers Football Talk

Me: So, you think the O-line will respond with better blocking to get the running game going on Sunday.

frankrmineo: Not really. I think ben will have to throw the ball a bunch if we are going to win.

Me: Yeah, I read in the Tribune Review that the Steelers may go to using a permanent no-huddle. Bruce Arians said that we are already 80% no-huddle right now.

frankrmineo: Thats not exactly what the article was saying, it was actually saying 80% of the Steelers playbook is available whenever they go into the no-huddle.

Me: Your right, my hick up. Yeah I misread it. But I think we are more built for a full time no-huddle offense.

frankrmineo: Yes, I think we have the group to do it.

Me: Though as it says they want to stay with Steelers football.

frankrmineo: Even the Bills in the 90's ran the ball a lot out of the no-huddle and were succesful.

Me: I think we should just play to the strengths that we have. then the weaknesses will take care of themselves. Yes, I agree with you that is why Jim Kelly went to four straight Super Bowls. Though I think the Steelers are built to win them four straight. Or is that wishful thinking.

frankrmineo: That is defintly wishful thinking.

Me: Though it would be nice if that happened. The Rooneys do have this team locked up for about four years. I think they are chasing multiple Super Bowls Like the Seventies.

frankrmineo: I think that is the goal every year.

Me: The Steelers emphasize it more than other teams though. Otherwise we wouldn't have Six Lombardi's.

frankrmineo: True.

Me: And it took a lot of suffering like the Browns are going through for the Steelers to get where they are. Sometimes it's almost hard to believe that the Steelers were Cellar Dwellers at one time. Hard work pays off though.

frankrmineo: Thats true.

Me: Did you watch that video of the o-line on nfl.com yet? Where the line is talking amongst themselves?

frankrmineo: No.

Me: I did. It seems like they have the "Us against the world attitude" again like last year. They want to prove their critics wrong. I still Think Larry Zerlein needs to show them better hand technics for blocking. I just think it's more of Larry Zerlein being the problem more than Bruce Arians is.

frankrmineo: Yes...not sure myself could be either.
