Very telling comment from JC

RB JAMAAL CHARLES
Q: What about Todd Haley. He knows you and a lot of guys on this team. He probably has a good idea of how to stop you as well that he’s sharing with the players on the defensive side of the ball in Pittsburgh?

CHARLES: “I think every team knows how to stop me, I think we run a couple plays and they already kind of know what we’re running because we’ve been running for eight weeks now. I think every team does a great job of trying put nine in the box.”

This tells me he doesn't have any belief in our passing game at all.

Q: The Steelers defense has always been known as a tough defense. What is your evaluation of their defense?

CHARLES: “They’re a big, physical team. They’ve been together for at about 10 years and know how to play football, they’ve won a couple Super Bowls together. You just have to have your stuff together before you go play them. You can’t be messy or they’ll just destroy you, especially at home. It’s a great team.”

S KENDRICK LEWIS
Q: What do you see when you look at Pittsburgh’s offense? Guessing you notice their speed, especially at the receiver position?

LEWIS: “Yeah, absolutely. They’re a very speedy, very talented group of guys. We’ve just got to prepare for their speed. That’s basically the biggest thing you see on the film, it’s quick passes, they’re going to get the ball into their receivers’ hands real quick and let them try and run and make plays.”

Q: It’s been a rough stretch so far this season. Is there any added excitement that it’s a Monday Night Football game?

LEWIS: “Absolutely. It’s primetime, the world is watching, you want to put your best play on the field, you want to do good and at the end of the day you want to win a ballgame for this club. We’re preparing to win a ballgame, that’s the excitement we get, we’re rallying around each other, trying to play complementary team football.”

Q: You played against Todd Haley’s offense in practice. Are you expecting to see something similar on Monday?

LEWIS: “Yeah, it’s similar because as we study film and as you go back to when he was here you see some of the same things. They’ve tweaked a few things here and there dealing with the personnel and the type of speed they’ve got there. It wasn’t matched up to what we had here as far as speed-wise. But you know, they tweaked a few things here and there but for the most part he stayed with his same offensive mindset and his same offensive plans.”

Pioli has no power anymore.

He spends his days in his office making fat, messy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, stuffing his purulent gob with sweet delights, his ever-expanding ass stretching the limits of his gray "gives no ****s" sweatpants.

The Emperor has no pants and Rome is burning.

I don't know what the "tell" is, but we're obviously providing the enemy with notice when we rush the football.

The jumbo package with 4 OT's is probably a giveaway.

You should turn the sound up on the games.

Teams know the Chiefs are no threat in the Passing Game all they have to do is stop Jamaal.

Yep, that's it right there. Why bother with a pass defense against a team that won't and can't pass for the most part. Pathetic.

[WhiteWhale]

Omaha Omaha! Off-tackle run!

His average might help if our QB didn't call out the play prior to running it. Everyone knows what Omaha is. It's been the same ****ing audible since preseason.

I laugh when morons think 'omaha' is a audible.

[Dayze]

I don't think a ton of people think it's an audbile; but it's probably a snap count adjustment; just like "Red", or "Blue"{ etc.. the call 2 snap counts in the huddle; or, just one and that one is the snap. so if Blue is the snap and they come out with a "Red" and a hard snap, everyone knows not to move.

probblem with Cassle (one of thousands) is, the ball is snapped .5 seconds after the 2nd 'Omaha'....EVERY time. I don't get that. Be it with Cassel, or Daboll. Whoever is doing it needs to have their tongue ripped out.

that....is sort of predictable.

[AustinHorn]

I guarantee you if you were to privately corner JC he would tell you if he had one answer to who they need at QB, he would say bring in his old teammate Vince Young. He actually tweeted his disgust a few months ago about how Young has been treated by the media and the NFL. Here is a QB who has won 62% of his games, improved his passing to the point of being 5th in the league his last year in TN, and yet he is effectively blacklisted because Jeff Fisher never wanted him and he is typecast as an athletic QB who can't pass. He proved this notion wrong.

Look what he did for Chris Johnson in TN, and look where CJ has been literally since the day Fisher booted Young from the team.

Yeah, since someone here about week two pointed out that they run the ball every time the QB uses that I've been paying attention - and they are right. I have not seen one single time when he called "Omaha Omaha" that they passed the ball. He might as well shout "Run up the middle! Run up the middle!".

I have.

[Ace Gunner]

Haley used him as a WR quite a bit and it really helped the offense. Daboll hasn't done that once.

Pretty much spot on. It usually indicates that the QB/line is done making adjustments (play and/or blocking changes), and 'omaha' indicates these changes are done and we are snapping on next sound or whatever the original count is. All the blocking changes and audibles are done before the omaha call, and the audible is usually given out in the huddle.. usually a check down run like a iso or inside/outside zone.

Cassel is a failure.. he checks to a run when he has posse personell (311) on the field and they have 7 or 8 in the box. He doesn't have confidence in himself to get the ball down field.
