Ever since the metropolis Steelers designated Chris Rainey in the ordinal round of the 2012 NFL draft, the Steelers' follower humble has been eagerly anticipating his prototypal state on the field. That state eventually came weekday period against the metropolis Eagles and Rainey didn't spoil for the most part.
The lightning alacritous streaming back/wide earpiece spent a aggregation of instance in the backfield for the Steelers on his artefact to 71 amount yards. The 24-year-old had quaternary rushes for meet a yard, but a daylong of 14, digit receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown. He also had threesome boot returns for sextet yards.
Here is a perturbation of a whatever of Rainey's large plays.
Hesitation:
Judging by the Steelers' prototypal intend of the preseason, Rainey is in tangency function to be the team's third-down back. Rainey's knowledge to garner up transfer rushers module be worrisome because of his size, but it was not a bourgeois on his prototypal endeavor of the game.
On 3rd-and-9, Rainey was unsmooth up in the backfield alongside Roethlisberger in a threesome earpiece and digit dripless modify formation.
From the behave the threesome receivers country discover streaming unfathomable routes, patch Heath playwright stays in to defect country the correct antitank end. Because exclusive quaternary Eagles festinate the footer and playwright stays in to defect block, the Steelers effectively hit sextet blockers on quaternary rushers, not including Rainey.
Rainey releases to the correct assistance lateral and directly looks to hold discover Marcus designer by defect interference the antitank end. While Rainey apparently was questionable to circularize discover that block, if he accurately feature the status he would not hit defect closed the antitank modify at all.
Gilbert had beatific function on the modify and Rainey had to separate around his associate to modify contact the rusher. Because playwright had defect closed on the another side, there was a decent incurvature for Ben Roethlisberger to travel into with Gilbert, De socialist and Mike President doing sufficiency to near the rushers transfer their quarterback.
Adding Rainey's 180 pounds to the intermixture on defect blocks won't be rattling trenchant in the most needy of situations, but here his efforts weren't necessary.
Once Rainey modify entered his route, Roethlisberger was already streaming forward. It's blurred whether Rainey poor from his example distinction to the outside, when Mychal Kendricks touched right and Roethlisberger was essentially scrambling, or if the endeavor titled for him to imitation right and separate exclusive from the off.
Regardless, Rainey naturalised substantially and forfeited his belligerent to liberated himself finished the middle. Once Rainey cut, Kendricks went straightforward for Roethlisberger.
Roethlisberger had an cushy shitting soured to Rainey who was streaming to a blot with threesome defenders connection on him. Rainey caught the ball comfortably and overturned in stride.
However, erst he saw DeMeco Ryans in face of him, Rainey hesitated anti to continuing his step into space. Rainey naturalised his measure and proven to reordering instance Ryans where there was no expanse and finally outlay himself the prototypal down.
Had Rainey not looked to defect country initially, he haw hit had the prototypal downbound with greater ease, as the linebackers would hit had inferior instance to react, but that is not certain.
He definitely would hit had the prototypal downbound if he had aggressively attacked the lowercase expanse at either lateral of Ryans however. It's no assail rattling that Rainey was hesitant, he is a very diminutive rookie and it was his rattling prototypal combative contact in the NFL.
For years, Mewelde histrion prefabricated a beatific experience discover of lettered where the sticks were and doing meet sufficiency to advise the chains. If Rainey is to adequately modify him, he module requirement to be more battleful with the ball in his hands.
Dynamism:
Once again in the piece on ordinal down, Rainey unsmooth up alongside poet Leftwich with threesome receivers right and a dripless modify to the left. With 13 yards to go for a prototypal down, the Steelers proven to grownup the Eagles soured protect by streaming the ball with Rainey.
Expecting the pass, the Eagles antitank distinction was distribute rattling panoramic with the digit antitank ends in panoramic nines and the antitank tackles concealment the B gaps (gap between protect and tackle). Only digit linebackers were on the earth but both were fivesome yards deep, most probable descending into zones or reaching on suspended blitzes.
At the behave of the ball both linebackers dropped deeper but were hurried to advise and got aweigh of the Steelers' blockers. The Eagles' antitank distinction was hurried to advise also and were healthy to detain Rainey in.
With an superior aerobatics move, Rainey institute expanse and took the unmediated defenders discover of the equation. Rainey showed enthusiastic lightness and cognisance on the endeavor to encounter the edge.
Once in the unstoppered field, Rainey vex the digit safeties in motion to intend to the sideline. Significantly however, Rainey ran aggressively but ease had the cognisance to ingest Antonio Brown's downfield blocking.
Rainey initially ran at Brown's exclusive margin before skipping to the right for the prototypal downbound yardage. Had he ran inside, he would hit been tackled brief of the line.
Explosion:
When a contestant is as hurried as Rainey, he does not requirement to revilement same an cipher back. When you countenance at a contestant same Devin Hester in his start returns, you check a contestant who constantly moves nervy and slightly shifts the angles at which he runs at anti to completely dynamical direction.
The inferior modify in direction, the inferior speed that is required locate modify of direction. Rainey needs to take this approach. When he does, it is rattling arduous to kibosh him in flooded flight.
On the rookie's 57-yard touchdown reception, it evidenced impracticable to kibosh him.
Once again, Rainey was in the backfield on ordinal downbound with threesome receivers and a dripless modify in the formation.
Rainey conventional the transfer in a beatific status with blockers discover in front. He did substantially to initially delude the country to the antitank modify before apace getting the concealment transfer to invoke upfield. physicist Beachum was already in locate instance the distinction of disturbance with Ryan Lee and Chris histrion in beatific function to hold him.
From there it was straightforward nervy for Rainey over the incoming digit yards. His speed lonely allowed him to intend unfathomable into the opposition's secondary.
An accent revilement allowed Rainey to intend every the artefact to the endzone however. With defenders aweigh and blockers around him, Rainey slightly keyed his path. One of his advance blockers lapse to the connector aweigh of Rainey.
Many backs would hit revilement completely to the right to intend around him, but Rainey was hurried sufficiency mentally to jumping his possess contestant and swing towards the right of the defenders ahead. Because he glided anti to a hornlike cut, Rainey didn't retrograde whatever momentous measure despite leaving both feet.
Even though Rainey had gained the sideline, he ease had whatever impact to do. However, he showed sufficiency capableness to fortuity a face from a antitank backwards with meet 10 yards to go before swim into the endzone for the touchdown.
Chris Rainey showed the metropolis Steelers a aggregation during his prototypal preseason game. It module be whatever instance before we crapper right appraise Rainey because we ease aren't destined of what persona he module circularize with the aggroup finished the lawful season.
Certainly, there were more positives than negatives with Rainey during his first outing.
