Chapter From Brady

After watching the Pittsburgh vs. New England game on Sunday night, it made me start to think that the Steelers may need to investigate a chapter of the Tom Brady Book of Offensive Schemes. What a well executed and prepared offensive scheme the New England staff brought to the table against the Steelers. Short well thought out passes that turned a passing game into a sophisticated running game as New England strategically orchestrated their offensive scheme last Sunday evening. Could the Steelers run an offense like the one the Patriots have? Yes they could. With the Steelers offensive line being stung this pre-season and season with major injuries, an offense like New England's may help solve their pass protection problems that occured this past Sunday. Big Ben, as we know, sometimes holds on to the ball too long but Big Ben was sacked 5 times and had a bunch of hurries. The running game was not as precise as it was earlier in the season. This group of offensive linemen gained valuable experience against the Patriots, but it is still running somewhat behind the offensive line that started the season. Maybe a dunk and dink offense will work vs.the Raiders. I really think the Steelers defense was on the field so long last Sunday, that by midway through the third quarter, the defense was spent. They have 7 games remaining, Big Ben needs a Big Ben friendly offense, and the defense needs to spend more time on the sideline rather than on the field.
