Can you or anyone else please elaborate on this? Seems th be the common consensus that we couldnt run yesterday...so lets look at it....
1st and 10 at KC 45
(9:31 - 1st) (Shotgun) S.Ware right guard to PIT 48 for 7 yards (J.Harrison).
2nd and 3 at PIT 48
(9:01 - 1st) (No Huddle) T.Hill right end to PIT 41 for 7 yards (R.Shazier).
Those are the first two plays of the game. 2 great runs. Then we run EIGHT consecutive times (end of the first drive and the entire second drive). Then the following drive, we run again.
1st and 10 at KC 25
(9:18 - 2nd) (Shotgun) S.Ware up the middle to KC 28 for 3 yards (J.Hargrave).
3 yards. Not a great run, but allowed the following 7 yard pass to be a first down. Next play, interception. Drive over. So far, we have run the ball 3 times in 3 offensive drives.
We run on 1st down on our 4th drive.
1st and 10 at KC 20
(6:04 - 2nd) S.Ware left guard to KC 23 for 3 yards (R.Shazier).
Then 2 straight Alex incompletions, and we have to punt.
Next drive, our fifth....pass, pass, pass, pass, end of the half.
To summarize to this point of the game, we have had 5 offensive drives, and attempted 4 runs. Four. 4 attempts for 20 yards. Failing to see a.) That the Steelers are preventing us from running or b.) That we are having trouble running period. Maybe the secobd half will show how we had trouble running.
2nd and 10 at KC 24
(14:50 - 3rd) (Shotgun) S.Ware up the middle to KC 23 for -1 yards (J.Harrison).
Ware's first poor run of the night. Two plays later, we punted. Next drive we ran the ball twice.
1st and 10 at KC 38
(9:11 - 3rd) (Shotgun) S.Ware up the middle to KC 41 for 3 yards (B.Dupree).
3rd and 3 at KC 45
(8:33 - 3rd) (Shotgun) Direct snap to S.Ware. S.Ware up the middle to PIT 47 for 8 yards (M.Mitchell).
Two plays later on second down...
2nd and 10 at PIT 47
(7:07 - 3rd) (Shotgun) T.Hill left end pushed ob at PIT 39 for 8 yards (R.Shazier).
Then we have a delay of game, Alex then takes a sack, and then we punt again. Next drive, four straight passes and then...
1st and 10 at PIT 36
(1:39 - 3rd) C.West left end to PIT 37 for -1 yards (J.Hargrave).
No idea why West is getting a first down carry. Anyway, moving onto our last drive. It was a 12 play drive, almost all of which were passes. Here are the runs.
1st and 10 at KC 49
(9:03 - 4th) S.Ware up the middle to PIT 40 for 11 yards (M.Mitchell).
1st and 10 at PIT 26
(6:25 - 4th) T.Hill up the middle to PIT 23 for 3 yards (R.Shazier).
That's it folks. Ballgame. I feel like I am losing my mind here. You claim the Steelers shut us down. Other posters (mostly the Alex ballwashers) agree we couldnt run the ball. I would love to see how thats the case.
WARE:
8 carries for 35 yards
4.3 YPC
1 negative run
1 run less than 3 yards
HILL:
3 carries for 16 yards
5.3 YPC
0 negative runs
WEST:
1 carry for -1 yard
Steelers didnt shut down S**T.
