Thread could have been titled "Villanueva confirms Steelers were too reliant on the pass and had no balance on offense."
Everyone just ignores that bit. You know the part where Villanueva explains the game plan is always just have Ben throw 50 times a game... "Hopefully we aren't throwing 800 times a year." Villanueva repeatedly made remarks in that regard.
No? We drafted a rookie RB who will run 16 times and catch 6 passes per game so everything is fine when we are 26th in rushing?
Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool.
Still not going to address the temperature in hell, eh?
AV’s written words convey a harsher tone than when you hear him speak them.
The Tik Tok line “seems” to be a jab at JuJu & Claypool. But, when you hear AV say it, it’s more of a “O-linemen get no glory” type of feel.
Also, DeCastro is his best friend. It’s a playful jab (probably some sort of inside joke).
I do think AV is a tad hurt that we let him go, but he’s also not wrong about passing way, way, waaay too much.
Common in the military for people to take jabs at an old assignment on the way out, most of the time it's all in fun. I think AV was trying to be funny
So AV plays all these years for the Steelers without publicly (jokingly) insulting his teammates, but after being with the Ravens one day he suddenly starts? Regardless of what Foster or anyone on here says I’m not buying it. He might be saying it with a smile but he’s taking shots.
It will be interesting to see how AV plays for the Ravens. Brown will be hard to replace at RT by an older AV who is past his prime. Especially looking at how Stanley bounces back from injury. If both LT and RT play is suspect, it’s going to be a long season in 2021.
But overall I’m not displeased. Ravens get a RT who is well-versed in AFCN opponents. And Costa is definitely going to make his mark as a GM following in Ozzie’s footsteps.
