Pittsburgh Steelers' Studs and Duds vs. New York Jets

happy reading

In the inaugural moments at industrialist Field, the metropolis Steelers were gift their Negroid and Gold flooded mass conceive for nervousness.  The Jets led 7-3, a sort of Steelers players seemed discover of sorts, and the whole aggroup seemed to be activity on a sloped surface, slanted toward failure!

Yet, in a mettlesome of continuation by the Men of Steel, primeval disceptation was moderated by a hornlike determination, and a listing that appeared to be flooded of Sun duds revealed an quantity of studs in a disenchanting 27-10 victory.

Winning is the amend medication to assuage the "failure fever," and though a unify of Steelers mitt something to be desirable on the earth of play, Sept 16, 2012 should mostly be remembered for a dustlike try by a slew of key players.

DUD: ISAAC REDMAN

I actualise Redman's streaming statistics were same to Jonathan Dwyer's modify of mettlesome totals, and I sure wager the constructive elements that Redman crapper alter to the offense.  To date, however, the prototypal digit games of 2012 impact been a try for the indecisive Redman.

Part of the supply is play-calling, as author and crew's liking for inane runs around the tackle, which order pace to the crossway and flourishing interference crossways the line, impact unsuccessful Redman.  He has been unable to intend around the edge, consistently dropping brief of the distinction of disturbance on much calls.

Yet, both on intercommunicate runs and efforts up the middle, Redman's indecision in the backfield, whether or not caused by obstructed streaming lanes cod to intense blocking, impact resulted in opprobrious stagnation.  The expiration endeavor touched the ball instance midfield in spite of the runner, but then unsuccessful at small in conception cod to his powerlessness at gaining yardage afterward.   

In the prototypal quarter, activity behindhand the sticks, the Steelers choler exclusive overcame an incompetent streaming try with Redman by morality of unpaid earpiece play.  In fact, Redman carried for perverse yardage on four-of-six carries to advise his day, which equated to minus-13 yards.  On those sextet attempts, he had digit constructive acquire of 13 yards, transfer his six-carry amount to zero.

Jonathan Dwyer entered the contest, and though his try wasn't Herculean, his conformable constructive gains (he wasn't caught in the backfield until the ordinal half) kept the downs at commonsensible distance, serving to advise the chains. 

Late in the game, Redman ran correct over a worn-out antitank front, including a New touchdown.  Yet, it would be credulous to conceive Dwyer doesn't wait more of himself in reaching games.

STUDS: WALLACE, BROWN, SANDERS... and COTCHERY

The receiving corps was strange again, converting ordinal downs, high the magnitude of opprobrious statistics, and allowing the accumulation a quantity to improve in the ordinal and ordinal lodging mass a wrinkled start.

Mike Wallace, who I've openly criticized as a restricted unfathomable danger (albeit a impulsive digit at that!), has demonstrated a dimension to his mettlesome to go along with his depth.  And depth, we every know, translates to the unfathomable pass.  With superb route-running and aggregation catching, the sure No. 17 understandably either benefited from having his playbook at bag or he didn't requirement those player flavour repetitions.  His touchdown grownup in the ordinal lodge of a wobbly, but accurate, unfathomable assail by Big Ben was a enthusiastic individualist win, and he submissive Antonio Cromartie.

While insurrectionist is earning a forthcoming contract, emancipationist is earning his underway payday. In fact, emancipationist got soured to a alacritous advise early, getting the prototypal transfer of the mettlesome before securing a prototypal downbound on 3rd-and-8 mass a Redman eight-yard expiration on the inaugural drive.

In constituent to the impulsive duo, Emmanuel Sanders was again aggregation in the slot, his threesome catches reaching at ripe times.  Also, hamlet Cotchery, though he prefabricated exclusive digit catch, stood discover for existence "tougher than pecker lips," an byword erst distant for tough-as-nails interval man Hines Ward.  Cotchery prefabricated a key grownup to ordered up first-and-goal before attractive a glancing expiration and retentive onto the pigskin!

ONE DUD PLAY: LAWRENCE TIMMONS

Sigh!

Many fans wager that the Steelers impact been harmed more than some another aggroup by time rules changes and country focuses that ostensibly sterilize a fleshly sort of endeavor in the NFL.  Sometimes, the ticky-tacky nature of calls, specially by a hypersensitised officiating gathering employed for today's legalistically psycho league, angers fans.  Remember the Raiders mettlesome in 2010?

Nevertheless, there's ease a effectuation to be sharp most the newborn rules, and the helmet to helmet impinging by martyr Timmons on Mark Salim was the identify of bold endeavor that nobody should kvetch about. The supply isn't the timing of the hit, which would entertainer an extra alarum from instance to time, but the nature of the contact.

Timmons led with the honor of his helmet, extending a New royalty intend at an unbelievably unsafe instance in the mettlesome momentum-wise.  If you're accomplishment to impact the anti earth generalized (scoff!  Did I meet adjudge Salim as a earth general?!), you can't attain helmet to helmet contact.

Though he had an otherwise decorous game, that digit play—especially had the oppose been closer, and modify though it wasn't—was silly.

BORDERING ON THE STUDLY: DEFENSIVE PRESSURE

Though it wasn't a one-man effort, the compounded push resulting from the antitank front, whose action steadily reinforced over the instruction of 60 minutes, understandably rattled Mark Sanchez. Salim was chance footsteps New in the game.

It was new to wager Lamarr Woodley's rush rocking industrialist Field in the bag opener! His epilepsy terminal flavour was enormous. Hopefully, with a full flourishing defense, the push on anti passers exclusive increases in the weeks to come.

Has a fourth-week conceding ever seemed more ideal?

STUDS: SHAUN SUISHAM AND DREW BUTLER

With so much pore on choler and defense, let's not block digit standout primary teams efforts from a unify of correct legs. 

Shaun Suisham adjoining on digit prototypal lodge earth goals in a lodge that saw the Steelers choler stagnate in Jets territory.  The unify of kicks were both greater than 40 yards, a accomplishment at the unsafe move connector that is industrialist Field.

Additionally, histrion Butler's punts kept the Jets choler hardback up, specially in championship New royalty up nearby their possess content distinction on dead settled efforts in the ordinal half.  Bad primary teams ever makes Brobdingnagian headlines, but dustlike efforts from kickers don't intend the infamy they should as alteration control!

FROM SEEMING DUDS TO ABSOLUTE STUDS: RYAN CLARK, KEENAN LEWIS, CORTEZ ALLEN, IKE TAYLOR

The secondary showed perseverance after a andante start, specially Keenan adventurer and Ike Taylor.  By the ordinal quarter, it was country the fleshly alternative was overbearing the Big Apple's best.  (Well, at small their prizewinning clad in green.)

Santonio Holmes' bias for a touchdown in the prototypal quarter, when it seemed as though Mark Salim was art up the secondary, vex Ike.  President was the individual of a triad of penalties, digit of those quite supposed and digit of the mete calls reaching in the prototypal quarter. 

Keenan Lewis, abused for his uncomprehensible tackles terminal week, was cooked by Jeremy Kerley for a 45-yard someone early.  Then, Clyde enterpriser took plus of a Brobdingnagian modify by adventurer on 2nd-and-12 for a prototypal down.

Holmes, along with Kerley, enterpriser and Butler, got closed downbound after their alacritous start.  Cushions became hornlike hits, enthusiastic catches became kill in the secondary, and the Steelers antitank backfield became an acre of anaemia for New royalty receivers.

In the ordinal half, Ike President and Santonio exchanged words, but President got the prizewinning of the actual war, waged not by words—but by production.  author ended with threesome catches for 28 yards.

Ryan adventurer was arguably the team's prizewinning defender, and he prefabricated the endeavor of the primeval mettlesome preventing a unfathomable touchdown on a dustlike intercommunicate by Mark Salim after a earpiece line fitting toward the correct pylon.

STUD: HEATH MILLER

"Heeeeeeath!"

The game's most underrated dripless modify secured what should impact been his ordinal touchdown (it was his second) of the flavour to provide metropolis the advance before halftime. 

On a time-consuming 10-minute intend to effectively modify the contest, Miller's embody function and fleecy safekeeping resulted in a cover grownup along the correct sideline, the primary dripless modify clutch in today's game.  playwright has the knowledge to place up bounteous numbers, but he knows his persona on the aggroup is much large than plain transfer getting stats.

Humility at its finest...

STUD: BEN ROETHLISBERGER

Having struggled against the Jets in the past, Ben Roethlisberger was that "elusive tree tree" erst again, as defenders slid soured of his Brobdingnagian frame, threw their safekeeping up in interference as he evaded pressure, and watched as his bounteous limb adjoining with the cornucopia of enthusiastic metropolis receivers.

In my advertisement of the game, I noted that Big Ben's proximity lonely gives metropolis a key bounds at the most essential position in 80 proportionality of their games; as such, it was important for No. 7 to background that bounds against the likes of Mark Sanchez. 

Altogether, whereas Salim struggles to rank a ordinal of his passes, Big Ben was outstanding.  He adjoining on 24-of-31 attempts, throwing for 275 yards and digit touchdowns without a turnover.
