Heyward loss another blow to Steelers’ ‘D’

It doesn’t appear Roethlisberger looks off Scandrick toward Rodgers, but Scandrick floats that way because the flats are also his responsibility in this Cover 2 look. He has lost only twice in Cleveland since being drafted 11th overall in 2004 – five slots after the Browns drafted tight end Kellen Winslow, Jr.

So that brings us to this Sunday when the Steelers are scheduled to visit the Browns in Cleveland.

“I assume weather will be a factor”, Roethlisberger said. Let’s look at two plays in particular that exposed this weakness on Sunday.

On the Steelers’ season so far, Roethlisberger has 2357 yards with 20 touchdowns and seven picks, while Le’Veon Bell is the team’s top rusher on 100 attempts for 433 yards and one score.

The Steelers could use his hands on the quarterback as their 1.4 sacks per game are tied with the Oakland Raiders for last in the NFL. “There’s obviously no better way to learn than by one of the best receivers going right now in the league and one of the best to ever do it”, said Pryor, who was cut by three teams in a two-year span prior to signing with Cleveland. “But it would’ve been great if we did”.

“We’re not putting them into situations where they have to lean towards the pass”, Harrison said. “It’s Ohio. It’s the Browns”. The Browns have allowed 237 first downs this year which ranks them 31st in the NFL. Pittsburgh isn’t usually trailing in the AFC North race and doesn’t normally have a losing record at this time of year.

The numbers say otherwise. Cleveland is 1-2 against Pittsburgh in games at FirstEnergy Stadium.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Antonio Brown should not have run out of bounds on the final play of the game when the Steelers trailed the Cowboys by five points.

The Browns didn’t draft Roethlisberger because they had Jeff Garcia.

Roethlisberger should be able to fix that.

“No chance”, the Steelers quarterback said with a laugh. I know all about that town, and I know how passionate they are about their sports.

On Thursday, Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley hinted that Green could see his snaps start increasing as well.

Ben Roethlisberger even understands that. The Browns have won 37 of the 63 games at home overall. “I’m open to doing whatever needs to be done in terms of making appropriate changes that change the outcome of this and games – and will”.

The Pittsburgh Steelers took the field against the Baltimore Ravens recently, with Ben Roethlisberger in the lineup. “I’ve never been a part of something like that like, ‘What are we gonna do?’ It’s not like we were getting manhandled where you’re ‘Alright, they’re better than us.’ It was frustrating”. There haven’t been many bright spots for the Browns this season, but Pryor is one of them. While Brown now has an NFL-high 69 receptions, no other Pittsburgh wide receiver has more than 23. Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey is also expected to miss Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns with the same foot injury that kept him sidelined in Week 10. Tomlin is 15-3 vs. Browns.

Pryor, though, appreciates the black and gold and what it would mean for the Browns to beat them.

We all know how the game ended, trust me no one wants to relive that debacle.
