I still hated his usage this game. 45 passes to 17 rushes again. Constantly throwing on 1st and 2nd down. They didn't start doing running back dumpoffs until the end of the 4th quarter and it worked (and after Conner was injured). This new OC is making Haley look like a genius the way he has been giving Ben the opportunity to just sling it whenever he wants. Agreed. Last week, I read that Pitt has the highest ratio of pass / run in the entire league. This week's performance wouldn't have dropped them at all. If the Steelers continue to operate this way, Connor's biggest value will be as a goal line back. Link to post Share on other sites

You guys dont think other people are looking for those diamond in the rough or trying to implement the best ways to win? I’m approaching this week as if he will be unavailable. Terrible timing- hope I’m wrong Link to post Share on other sites
GoPackGo23 422 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'm almost more worried if he plays this week at less than 100% than if he would actually be out. If you have no other good options then you have to play him if he goes this week, but I'd hate having to make the decision between a limited Conner vs. David Johnson on my bench. Worst case scenario would be him trying to play and pull a Breida. Link to post Share on other sites

Big Ben is a legendary QB at this point, the offense is his to decide typically and he makes final check whether its a run or pass. Conner had bad luck last night considering how lucky his night started with two freebie 1 yard TDs. Literally couldn't build any momentum after that as the Steelers got the ball only twice in the entire 3rd quarter including the first possession after half time. Link to post Share on other sites

psygolf 2,791 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 What I cannot figure out...why will they called screen passes for Samuel with blockers out in front of him, but the only routes Connor is getting are those where he has to squeeze thru the middle of the line after staying in to check for a blitzer-?

IIRC, they did a few times. Once was a decent gain that was called back for holding. There was another time that looked like Ben thought he was going to stop for a short pass but Conner kept going downfield. Link to post Share on other sites

RyanM915 24 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 RB Jaylen Samuels said he assumes James Conner (lower leg contusion) will be good but he's preparing like he usually does, as a starter. "I'm getting more comfortable as I'm getting more plays," Samuels said. Link to post Share on other sites

myzto 83 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Steeler Nation can rest easy knowing its young star should be just fine. According to NFL Media, Steelers running back James Conner suffered a lower leg contusion in Sunday's loss to the Chargers but the injury is "not considered major at all." The report noted that early impressions indicate Conner likely will have no trouble recovering barring any considerable swelling or further setbacks. A timetable for his return remains unknown. http://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/steelers-james-conner-injury-update-leg-contusion-return-stats-fantasy-nfl-news-mike-tomlin/97saaunycy0r15rii714wtrvu Link to post Share on other sites

larfboy 268 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Until there is an official report saying that it's indeed something minor, it's difficult to believe the way the injury looked that it's only a bruise...knee nearly bent sideways..looks more sprained and his limp today makes it sound more like a sprain than a bruise...

Nothing would be worse than Conner giving it a go and limping out of the game after a series. Link to post Share on other sites
