Re: Skins vs. Steelers Positives and Negatives

There appeared to be no in-game defensive adjustments at all. Offense or defensively. The most glaring were the continued 1 on 1 coverage of Breeland on Brown and the lack of blitzes. At the same time, we continued to play (to my untrained eye anyway) a soft zone in the middle of the field and they just ate it up after the first quarter.

The game plan wasn't working. Do something. Anything. ... but no.

[contrary to most, I think Breeland did as well as could be expected. He was really only beaten a couple of times and was generally right with Brown. There were several plays that no other QB/WR tandem completes between the timing and accuracy of Big Ben's passes and Brown's anticipation. No one was going to stop them one v. one Monday night. Even if you don't want to cycle Norman over, then let Norman go 1v1 on their WR2/3's and shade the safety over -- do something.].

As others have said, and at this point, I have no confidence that Barry will do anything that will raise the defense above its talent level. Particularly on game day.
