I have been quiet on the Mike Smith front up to now. However, two of the Steeler touchdowns his scheme was very lacking.
On the touchdown pass to the tight end where Conte gets Pancaked, it looks like we played a zero defense with Ben in the shotgun which left a very easy read to a tight end with no one covering him. Even if Chris makes the tackle it is a 20 yard game pancaked, it look like we played 80 defense with been in the shotgun which left a very easy read to a tight end with no one covering him. Even if Chris makes the tackle it is a 20 yard gain.
On the touchdown to Antonio Brown, it looks like Grimes was left all by himself with no one on his half of the field against one of the premier receivers in the league. Granted, he whipped on the touchdown to Antonio Brown, it looks like Grimes was left all by himself with no one on his half of the field against one of the premier receivers in the league. Granted, he whiffed, but that was inexcusable.
Hopefully someone missed an assignment, but regardless that was bad play calling on his part And it cost us 14 points
