"Jason Campbell struggles against the Steelers"

I guess they forgot that it was a downpoor!! Most QB'S can't throw in these kind of conditions... Batch was like 5-14 or something..

i believe Campbell will have late blooming career like Eli Manning.

This isn't the last of his problems. I believe he will only keep going down hill, to a point where the coaching staff will have to replace him. But it is only the second game and tonight the ol can not be blamed for his piss poor production.

he had time to throw ... ??? do they stop football games because of rain ??? .... JC needs to have somewhat of a solid game next week or it's a bad vibe in my mind

Hey, it's a better headline than "Campbell has completely unremarkable seven passes" or "Charlie Batch beats DeAngelo Hall once".

Yeah struggles is not the word that came to my mind.

I ain't gettin my panties in a wad like Mike Florio but Campbell should've shown us more. I think he's settled into that no risk taking mindset, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but makes him wanna play safe more often than not. He needs to play with more urgency. He used to have a plausible excuse because the o-line was failing him but now that the o-line actually resembles something competent enough to give him time he needs to start playing more decisively. Also I think the playcalling needs to factor into this with more risk and reward type plays because tossing a ball 1 yard to Kelly when it's 3rd and 10 ain't cutting it. If it's 3rd and 10 I feel like most routes should be at least going 10 yards or 8 at the minimum, I don't know why I saw Malcolm Kelly running a 1 yard route on that 3rd and 10.

Again it's just preseason and I know the dink and dunk offense can be successfull but not if it's dink and dunk to the point where we can't even get the necessary yards to get a first down. I know they did a good job driving down the field after the fake punt but after that drive (which stalled at the goal line) they weren't doing anything on offense until Daniels came in in the third quarter.

I really think if those screens go for even average yardage we all feel different. Those looked awul...was it play conception or poor execution?

But yeah, this is where the "preseason doesn't matter" myth comes from. When you conclude in small sample size that one player struggled or another did great, you're going to be wrong more than right. Preseason doesn't matter only because what we TAKE from the preseason is completely irrelivant.

I really think if those screens go for even average yardage we all feel different. Those looked awul...was it play conception or poor execution?Steelers just sniffed them both out.

They're a number one type defense, so they likely won't be fooled by that kind of play. That's partially on Zorn, but mostly it's just good defense.

It's the kind of thing where if the defense follows the flow and doesn't go after the passer, there's no in play adjustment that can be made. You just abort and try again. If it's third down, you punt.
