Below is the play by play break down of the offensive line from the Sunday afternoon week 12 game versus the Buffalo Bills. It is merely a pass or fail grade on if I think the lineman did his job or not. It also should be noted that we go under assumptions that we know what the assignment on each play was and sometimes it is not obvious. We have to grade on what we see and go from there. We added small notes to each play as well. As always if you disagree with any play, do so respectfully in the comments and give your reason so I can go back through and re-watch your disagreement.

On the 3rd quarter play, Harrison was flagged for leading with the crown of his helmet on a play where he hit Fitzpatrick just after the Bills quarterback released the ball. He says the hit was perfectly fine. "It's not going to change the way I play," Harrison told Read more [...]

It is another Ravens week and Dale Lolley writes how the Steelers have won five of the last eight games against their AFC North Division nemesis and in every one of those wins, Ben Roethlisberger has played quarterback.

Perhaps the best opening drive of the season for the Steelers. Everything looked smooth and play calling was flawless. 13 plays and 7:54 off the clock. Rashard Mendenhall ran great. Mendenhall fumbled again though and I hope that is not the old problem he had. Isaac Redman was there when his number was called. Loved that dive play call in overtime for the first down. Steelers defense looked good early on forcing the Bills 3 and out on first two possessions. Saw Anthony Madison start which was a change. Saw some dime looks on defense too which was a change. Second Steelers drive was Read more [...]
