Re: Ray Rice
Rice did make some questionable decisions on runs last night, which is unusual for him. That 2nd and 7 play was a big one, can't figure it out.
Can't really say any more than has been said though. Birk getting dominated like he was throws everything off, and when Birk wasn't getting dominated, you had poor blocking schemes (or great defensive gameplanning by the Steelers) that led to matchups like Dickson trying to block Woodley, which is like having nobody block Woodley...back on twitter

Re: Ray Rice
I said on another tread that i would have liked to have seen if pierce could have been more effective. I think certain matchups dont necessarily fit Rice well, that a big power back would. This being one of those. However that doesnt mean i think hes overrated and sucked to the point he didnt need any touches. Pierce did have 20% of the yards Rice did in 10% of the carries but if he carried 20 times and rice 2 it may have been similar. I just would have liked to see him get a few more to determine if he was more effective or not. It would have been worth seeing if he could wear them down a little more for Rice later in the game. Im just glad we didnt get away from the run game all together.

Re: Ray Rice
Yes the Steelers have a good defense, but they've been giving up 3.8 YPC. Ray Rice essentially had half that. I wouldn't trade Rice for any other back but he just disappears in every Steelers game. Would have liked to see some Pierce action.

Re: Ray Rice
Rice makes plays in the passing game to. But last night the running room just was not there for him. The Steelers teed off on him. Clearly they took the stop Rice approach. It's just a damn shame we couldn't make them pay for it. Any other team would have had a field day with the Steelers keying in on two players. No other offense in the NFL stalls like ours when a RB and Wr are taken away.

Re: Ray Rice
Ray seems to me like he gets too cute sometimes, instead of just following his blocks. I think Coach (and Leach) took him to task about that last year during the 49er game.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable…
There is another theory which states that this - has - already - happened…

Re: Ray Rice
We played the best run defense we'll probably see all year. And when we are on the road we are always offensively challenged. I'm confident the results will be different when we are at home in two weeks.

Re: Ray Rice
Well when the playcall is up the middle against Casey Hampton... That maybe part of the problem. It is almost like CAM does it on purpose!!
Not bad for a RUNNING BACK!!! Now that is funny.
