So I reviewed the game film Sunday Afternoon, in between several commitments. For the first time in two years the Steelers won a preseason game!
Here is a Quick Hits about Saturdays game:
-The biggest impact Saturday was Ryan Shazier, he came in as advertised. He is fast, a sure tackler and made some terrific plays. The Steelers’ No. 1 pick made nine solo tackles and two more on special teams and also had an interception in the first half of Saturday night’s 19-16 preseason victory over the Buffalo Bills. I still think we needed a Cornerback but I absolutely think this guy is a great talent and it is hard to argue with the pick.
-Speaking of draft picks, instead of Cornerbacks taken, Dri Archer had another great game and showed some great flashes. If someone could actually block on the outside, this could be huge! We still needed a Cornerback but Archer and Shazier are exciting to watch. “He runs like he was shot out of a canon.”-Edmund Nelson
-The “varsity” offense looks very good. Big Ben ran a virtuoso performance of the no huddle. Antonio Brown made a great play to score the first touchdown.
-The Steelers front seven combinations all played well. Howard Jones and Vic So’oto both are making strong cases to make the team.
-DT, Daniel McCullers must be a terrifying site for centers in the league. He looks like a man playing against kids.
-It was great to see Troy flying all over the field and laying the wood.
-Robert Golden got run over by Bills fullback Evan Rodriquez and then proceeded to recover the fumble on the same play. That is a guy that should absolutely make the team.
