By Dave Bryan on Thursday, December 29th, 2011 | 1 Comment

The week 16 offensive line breakdown report for the Pittsburgh Steelers win this past Saturday against the St. Louis Rams is now complete and overall it was a pretty solid performance as everyone scored 86% or higher.

Breakdown Of James Harrison Abusing Adam Goldberg For Near Sack

By Dave Bryan on Sunday, December 25th, 2011 | 5 Comments

Although the play did not end in a sack, it was fun to watch Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison almost get a sack of Rams quarterback Kellen Clemens by using left tackle Adam Goldberg to do it with. Below is the breakdown of the play in pictures that shows just how strong Harrison is. Remember that Goldberg goes about 6’7″, 305 lbs and Harrison around 6’0″, 242 lbs. Roughly 7 inches and 63 lbs difference in the two. The situation is a 3rd and 7 from the rams 40 yard-line with 5:36 left in the first half.

More Steelers Rams Game Observations

By Dave Bryan on Sunday, December 25th, 2011 | 3 Comments

The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the St. Louis Rams 27-0 Saturday at Heinz Field and improved their record to 11-4 on the season. I have made it back through the game again twice and here are my further observations from the game not included in the regular game recap. The opening stop of Rams running back Steven Jackson by Troy Polamalu, as he blew by the attempted block of wide receiver Danario Alexander, set the tone for the type of day he would have. Polamalu finished the game with 6 total tackles, second most on the team. he was all over the field Saturday. Ike Taylor would have had the Read more [...]

Will James Laurinaitis Get Fined For His Helmet To Helmet Hit On Defenseless Hines Ward?

By Dave Bryan on Sunday, December 25th, 2011 | 25 Comments

I am sure we will get to see the bias against the Pittsburgh Steelers this week and the double standard that the NFL has as it relates to helmet-to-helmet hits on defenseless receivers. In case you missed it, St. Louis Rams linebacker James Laurinaitis hit Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward helmet-to-helmet while he was in a defenseless position after catching a short pass from quarterback Charlie Batch across the middle with 4:49 left in the game. Ward was going down and had just turned his head around before Laurinaitis clearly led with his helmet and the hit clearly snapped the neck Read more [...]

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin met the media following their 27-0 win over the St. Louis Rams at Heinz Field.
