Showboat 164 Posted December 16, 2018 ???? Samuels is averaging 10 yards per carry, so it's obviously a good idea to sub him out every other series and put a WR in backfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbfalcon 825 Posted December 16, 2018 Who would they run with? They refused to pay the best RB in football. Then when the feel good guy that had cancer went down, all they were left with is a guy that is listed as a TE in fantasy leagues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Law 222 Posted December 17, 2018 Seeing as the Steelers ran 23 times (not including Ben's two "attempts") for 161 yards while the Pats ran it 19 times for 96 yards, I'd say your post is ill-timed at best and question who really is the idiot here. And I'm no Defender of Tomlin, at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I'm no Defender of Tomlin, at all. Yeah, this is definitely true. I believe that rushing performance was more than the combined total of their last 3 games (or in the neighborhood anyway). They needed to pull back the reins of Ben a bit and do a better job controlling the game flow, and this was a step in the right direction. Those long, sustained, clock-killing drives get the other teams offense out of synch and wear out their defense. Weird to say, but "promising" is good way to describe a game where you only get 3 points in the 2nd half but limit a high-powered offense to the same amount.
