You can look at the play chart, and meanwhile, I just watched the game.
Rudolph was shackled behind a conservative passing game for good two and a half quarters. Fichtner wanted to play “Hide the Quarterback”. The Niners Defense smelled blood. Until Rudolph broke under the constant pressure and threw a pick.
The Forty Niners take their first lead, then Rudolph was allowed to throw longer than five yards. He suddenly was much more successful, the Offensive Line improved just a bit, and all of the yips mysteriously disappeared.
You call it poor quarterback play. I call it bad coaching and game plan.
Sorry Hawk, I didn’t realize that you are the board’s post police. Okay, so let’s try this. I understand that Mason spent his collegiate career in the shotgun formation, but he worked extensively during the off-season on his mechanics and lining up under center. In fact, he looked pretty damn good at it when he hit McDonald in the end zone for a td against Seattle. So, lining up in the shotgun with a rb on your side does nothing to freeze the linebackers. Had they brought Mason under center, play action could have been utilized much more. However, others have already said it that our OL, particularly our tackles were getting beating like little bitches all day, so the likelihood that he would have set up on a pass play and been hit immediately was probably better as well. Our offense was bland and one dimensional to say the least and it’s the coaches fault - all of it. So Hawk, tell me what the Steelers should have done and please be constructive as if the coaches are listening!
The coordinators have been in a decline for all of Tomlin’s tenure. The reason you are really starting to see it on offense at this point is because Mike Munchak is gone and Ben isn’t there to cover it up. They’ve always been bad...you just never noticed it this much. Defense and Special Teams. well we all know those stories.
Got some buddies who are Eagles fans. Their message boards are all absolutely convinced, I mean dead certain, that that entire staff are morons and couldn't coach a peewee team.
Just saying.
I don't know how you promote a Sub Par QB coach to OC....someone make that make sense to Me...he hasn't developed 1 back up since he's been in Pitt...now he's the OC ???
Maybe you shouldn't let your quarterback choose the offensive coordinator.
