But linebackers are supposed to help out the damn guys up front and get in gaps of their own and they simply do not. Yes, Cook had some huge holes which people will be quick to blame the defensive line and not bat an eye. 93 and 55 refuse to be physical whatsoever when engaging and trying to get off blocks. But man, these linebackers (and I’m not talking about the pass rushers) are getting hard to watch.
But it's also somewhat reasonable to expect the linebackers to raise their play maybe even a tad with Alualu and Tuitt out, in run or pass defense. Wormley played well, along with Montravius Adams at times. Those other defensive guys make plays too! Speaking of defense, what an utter disgrace on all levels.

Freiermuth just got his hands on it before All Pro safety Harrison Smith popped him and it came out. Into triple coverage it was a very catchable ball and a dime. First off, that was a hall of fame throw from 7. Also before I get to the defense and special teams, the fact that Freiermuth is catching flak is laughable. Diontae Johnson, Najee Harris, Pat Freiermuth are the few bright spots that Roethlisberger has to work with. Just think of what another number 11, Pitt legend Larry Fitzgerald, would have done in that situation to help the team. Absolutely unacceptable and he might need to be made inactive against Tennessee for a message to actually maybe get through with this guy. I'm not wasting my words anymore on Claypool. Words cannot describe the level of tone deaf with 11 this year, especially after the near fumble early in the game, and the drive killing taunt on the first drive. The kid wasted more than seven valuable seconds and at least 1-2 plays on a potential game tying drive with no timeouts by celebrating a 9 yard first down catch with the clock ticking inside of 35 seconds. Notice how I haven’t even mentioned Chase Claypool yet. Adrian Klemm was talked about as this physical, hard nosed dude as an offensive line coach. There seems to be no sense of pride among that group. They couldn’t even get this guy a borderline average offensive line. I believe the Steelers are once again 32nd in rushing the ball after taking Najee Harris in last year's draft. The quarterback is 39 and has single handedly won them games this year with his arm. Ben finished the game 28 of 40 passing, with 308 yards, 3 touchdowns, one interception on almost 8 yards per attempt (7.7) The fact is, it genuinely is sad that this quarterback can’t get a lick of help from this line. If Canada continues the same playcalling, and force running it early in games whenever there is 8-9 in the box literally every time, nothing will change.
The fact is, the offensive line isn’t and will not ever be (throughout this season) good enough to come out and move guys off the ball. Roethlisberger can still sling it, and Thursdays game showed that in spades. The Steelers need to use the pass to set up the run. It's obvious to even my grandma that Matt Canada needs to go off script before this team is losing by 20. Ben Roethlisberger had no time, was beaten up, and visibly frustrated with gaffes in pass-pro on 4 man rushes and stunts at times. Center Kendrick Green cannot even snap the football consistently. Whenever they try to run to the perimeter, they cannot get the edge either. Offensively, it's the pure cluelessness from the offensive coordinator who just can’t seem to adjust to his first half woes - and continues to run up the gut against 8 and 9 man fronts with one of the weakest offensive lines in the NFL. Football really is still a simple game, and it's hard to deny what the eye test says when watching this team in 2021. Story by Yinzer Crazy Contributor Anthony Sauritch Just like Head Coach Mike Tomlin said in the politically correct way after the loss against the Vikings, the Steelers got their you know what’s kicked on both sides of the ball last night against the Vikings.
