Defense seemed to do better when the qb had to hold on to the ball a little bit. It was something Herbig mentioned to reporters, when the secondary covers better the front 7 has time to get there and good things happen. Altho I'm not sure it was because of the secondary or the Colts gameplan, or just Daniel Jones. Either way it was awesome to see him getting hit all day long.
It's wild to me why the Colts didnt try to get Taylor going more. Looking back the Steelers did bottle him up pretty well. But probably because they didnt put too much commitment to that end. Putting the game in Daniel Jones hands was Steichen's fatal mistake. Who would have guessed.

Yeah couldn’t agree more. Yesterday’s game got off to a bad start and it looked like it was going to be a long day.
The Colts were able to move the ball but they really seemed determined to throw the ball despite the turnovers.
It was a fun day at the stadium. I really thought the Steelers were going to get blown out.

Ramsay at Safety should be permanent. Apparently we also played split safety coverage 46% of the time, as opposed to our season average of like 28%. Not sure if JPJ, Echols, and Slay are strong enough as the top 3 CBs though. Maybe Peppers comes in on Nickel or Dime packages and Ramsay kicks back to CB then?

This (or something like it) is what we'd have to expect, I hope. Ramsey kicks back to slot (where he is at his best) in certain packages. Based off results, Ramsey has to stay at S for the time being. It'd be nuts to stop what worked after seeing what didn't the past 6 weeks. The fact a brand new guy (who had, what, 2 practices?) came in and did a better job of staying on schedule than Thornhill or Clark at the other S is kinda telling. To me anyway.
Really interested to see the all 22 this week. Curious as to how much Zone vs. Man they ran this time out, as well as what they were doing with the back 4 when they blitzed vs. how they handled that the first 7 games.
Mikey and Austin deserve a lot credit for this week's gameplan. Wasn't perfect, plus they were dealing with injuries/new bodies, but it had been clear for a month they needed to do something different. It's too bad it seems to have taken Elliot getting hurt to finally motivate them to change it up, but hopefully this result will keep them from falling back into the "we're running X no matter what the other team does, cuz we run X!!"

It's not a "great" sign, but this isn't an elite defense and it's not like the Colts can't put up points. It's a better sign than the last 5-6 weeks, given the opponent. Stonewalling Taylor with the heater he was on was impressive.
Wilson fumbling the ball where he did trying to be super man late wasn't helpful with regard to the final score either.

The Steelers not scoring off of that muff was a big blow -- some poor play calling down there. And Wilson's hurdle was inexcusable. Do something different there, and the score makes more sense.

The Steelers had a 17 point lead well into 4th quarter and would have won by 10 if not for that goofy fumble by Roman Wilson at the end of the game

This D will give up yards and scores, no doubt. If creating turnovers is their only path to success, then that's what needs to be coached up. In wins vs Indy and NE, 11 turnovers were the decisive factor.
Problem is what to do when there are no turnovers since it's not a sustainable path, and why in both games it was only decided by one score. They are missing big play ability on offense.
It's important they build off this win, and not get comfortable with the current status of the team.

When you have the get the ball back with 9:00 remaining in the game winning by 17, I don't think your goal is try to make an impressive victory for the ppl on the internet. It's probably to secure a win. In the grand scheme of things point difference is a miniscule consideration. I think it's like a 5th tie breaker for playoffs.

It's not about flash for the FF crowd, it's about crushing any hope for the opponent.

Hearing Meyers price is steep right now, so unlikely unless the market falls out on WRs.

I don’t think this team is 1 more good wr away from being a contender so I’m kind of glad they’re not making a big splashy move. No need to trade away good picks.

Congrats on a great win. Defense got the message. Just wish it didn’t come against my Danny Dimes!

They're 5-3 with a 51 year old Quarterback, they need to make it easier for him
Brady had Evans, Godwin, Gronk and AB

Finally got a chance to eyeball some of the all 22s. Way, waaay less post-snap rotations yesterday. Way more two high shell. Way more quarters. Less blitzing.
In essence "more zone, less man, less fancy movement to try and disguise coverages, getting pressure mostly w/4 rushers"
