Good to be back. Hey, whenever we get sick of talking Steelers football we can proceed with the full-fledged Kenyan dating service site we moonlight as. With one flip of a switch this whole site gets turned into a British/Kenyan escort service. It's a nice backup plan, no?

Anyone else get the feeling that last night's Steeler game felt like a scrimmage? Meanwhile, last night's Penguins game felt like a playoff game.

Kasparaitis, Straka, Jagr, Nedved, Tamer, Ulf, Zubov, who else would you like to see? I know some of these guys are still playing at various spots all over the world but it would be nice to have "everyone". Caps roster looks like garbage doesn't it??

Langway? Kelly Miller? Dino Ciccarelli? Al Iafrate?

I used to think Kemo had a ton of potential but he just hasn't lived up to my expectations. He's nice in the running game but he is abysmal in the passing game. I don't think they can afford to bench him but his play of late should have him looking over his shoulder. I've always liked Kemo and we've posted about him a zillion times on this site but lately he's making it real hard to be a Kemo-supporter.

Eddie, thanks a lot man, really appreciate it. As long as people are getting something out of this and are slightly entertained we'll keep it up. It's hard to juggle 20 different things and find time to put up interesting posts. If we had more help we'd post 10x per day, I'd love to be able to do that.

Thanks for the feedback, seriously, it keeps us going.

Yes, you're right. The reason I didn't keep going into the 2nd half was because he only faced three 3rd and Long (obvious pass situations) in the 2nd half. Dixon did a fine job in the second half hitting Ward, etc....but my main focus was checking out how the defense schemed for him on semi-obvious passing downs.

One of his 3rd and Longs was like a 3rd and 20.....the defense obviously dropped back to prevent a huge pass play. Cant really learn much from that so I didn't bother to add it.

Another one was a sack on 3rd and 14 and the other was a scramble/broken play improv toss to Ward. It was just more of the same, so I figured it didn't need to be included.

You're right though, his stats in the second half were great but he wasn't asked to complete as many 3rd and Longs (typically the true test of your QBs ability to read and make tough throws when the other team KNOWS you're passing). It's Arians/Dixons/OL/Mendenhall's job to make sure you don't put your young QB in too many obvious passing situations on 3rd down. We posted an article a few days ago about the nice balance we saw on 1st downs (Pass vs Run). That's obviously important as well....the team was only 28% on 3rd down in part due to how many 3rd and Longs they had to overcome.
