Minkah is overrated. Every team avoid “elite” safeties, but the best ones always find ways to make plays regardless. Examples are Jessie Bates and Kyle Hamilton. Minkah has too many missed tackles and takes too many bad angles to be elite.
@@dryhuh - Kyle Hamilton is moved all over the field rather than playing over the top as Minkah usually does and Tomlin even said they avoided throwing over the middle against Bates… meaning, the Steelers didn’t test Bates while others have and failed. Let’s be honest, this is not a creative defense in the least and has become easier to scheme against-their success is still mainly individual play driven rather than coaching/scheme driven.
I agree that it’s “process over outcome”. I hate when plays are called “genius” when they work, and “dumb” when they don’t. But when success is coming so infrequently, is it maybe time to question the process? Always great to have a video from you to watch.
There's spreading the ball around to keep the defense honest and then spreading it around just for the sake of doing it. Tell me in what universe is a jump ball to Cordarelle Patterson, who looks more like a LB than a WR these days, a good play call at any time let alone a 2 pt conversion? Just an unbelievably bad call.
Ravens were all over that roll out, and teams looking at tape will be too, they need to change it up. I would try putting Muth in the Trips bunch with other guys, he isn't going to beat a CB alone on the outside.
Would like to see a pass play to someone other than GP when the game is on the line. Love Pickens but other teams know where it's going in crunch time.
The roll out play to Muth that Russell “missed” Russ faked to muth and the safety didn’t bite. Russell’s momentum was already in motion to hit Darnell. Which is why the safety committed and allowed muth to be open in the first place. Safety read Russell’s eyes and knew he was going to hit Darnell the whole time. This is not a miss.
I talked about the progression of the play. I call it a "miss" in the sense of the guy being open. I get the read and why Wilson didn't go there. But I think there was plenty of time for Wilson to be able to reset had he seen it. I would disagree with the momentum component.
Muth was lucky the defender interfered with him in that first clip - no way he catches it, even vs air. Alex, when I saw the video title I came looking for a fight - I assumed you were going to claim that Freiermuth was an effective blocker 🤣🤣
Well this goes back to dont throw the ball to jefferson unless he can come back to the ball or austin unless it is a slant over middle. Make Muth the primary on more and more of the reads. Good ord one pass per quarter is ridiculous. Just throw it to him. Instead of running it up the middle on 1st and 2nd down in the red zone play action throw it to Muth twice and watch the scoring go up. Frick I feel like I could call a better offense than is getting called in our redzone. This just pisses me off and makes me not trust the coaching at all.
Good stuff Alex! Would like for you to do one of these videos on Minkah Fitzpatrick and show how and why teams are avoiding him!

Superb analysis. Smith is known for spreading the ball around.

@ overall the offensive scheme has dramatically improved in my opinion. Not going to say it sucks based on one play.
Thanks David!
Ravens were all over that roll out and other teams will be too. To change it up have Mike W run a flag route from the slot.

I mean, he has won those matchups a couple times. Not on the outside but to the inside.

@@raymondrak961 he was 1v1. I like those odds

@ get it but easy to say from watching from the stands and not being on the field. JS

Just force him the ball he rarely drops in
That last one would of been 6.
Yeah good chance. Or a massive gain, at the least.
