Seriously, who draws up an ILB scheme like that?!?!?!?
When you are trying to make the roster....you can't drop a pass like that. Had big yardage on the play too
Hands of stone Harris. Not a natural looking pass catcher.
And now Barclay with a bad holding penalty on 2nd and short to set up 2nd and long.
Dude is playing himself off the roster
They better be checking the waiver wire. Trade Tolzien for D'Brick. Total feasible.
Whooo! Don is having a tough go. Pinkard! Nice catch bud!
OMG!! A TE scored down the seam!!
HOORAY!!!!
Touchdown RichRODG!!
Great job in protection and read by Tolzien too
Scooter really has improved a lot
Hope Rodgers can prove to be a good red zone weapon this year over the middle
Tolzien is a completely different QB this year. Impressive.
Harris! Makes up for his miss! Nice drive, even with some miscues. Good to see them fight through.

That's one of the more common blitzes in the NFL. Your DL and OLBs are going to slant to the outside with a Safety supporting the run. Ideally your outside guys have containment and stretch the run too far outside with a DB cleaning it up or force the runner inside where the ILBs will finish. Just wasn't executed properly.
Scott Tolzine has just really come on this year....he's just been great.

Yeah, they have been reasonable, informative, and not overblown. A very professional broadcast and it is greatly appreciated. I guess I wouldn't expect anything less from the Steelers.
Ripkowski is playing his way ON this roster. Another nice ST's play
Scott Tolzien's first half numbers: 9-of-12, 90 yards, 1 TD. 123.6 passer rating.

No DE's on the play. 2 OLB that both dropped into middle coverage. Barrington should have been deeper. If it wasn't for penetration by Pennel that was a gift wrapped play.
Everything about the scheme screamed fail.
Decent half. If Jordy and TJ are not too badly injured, it will be a big plus. Wish Casey Hayward could cover! Dang! He's looking rough. Randle with a big rookie mistake. Palmer having difficulty limited by the club. STs looks pretty sloppy. Except for Rip!!! Wow. Tackle machine.
Scott Tolzien looks dynamite. So did Lacy & Starksy! 2nd half should be good. Big competition to play out.

I can't remember who had that in their signature line, but it always cracked me up.
Barclay should be pulled today,then given a shot next week. Today he's going from bad to worse.
