Is this a great game or what ?
Cowher needs to run the ball, with BOTH Duece Staley and Jerome Bettis getting used heavily. Set up the occasional long ball off play action for Ben R. Field position and ball control. Let your Defense be the dominant unit.
Yet I watched the Cowher press conference today and he raved about Ben R. Says he doesn't worry about a rookie mistake here and there. He has all the confidence in the world calling pass plays with him in the post-season. He does realize that Doug Brien missed 2 makeable FG's that would have meant a huge upset.
And people wonder why this guy loses so many home games in the playoffs.
If you had a healthy Bettis and Staley, with that OL, wouldn't you just pound the ball all day ? Staley looked pretty good, coming off his injury and the time is NOW.
If the Jets game didn't teach Cowher anything, then he is a fool and one of the worst post-season Coaches ever. Agreed ? How many home playoff games can this guy lose and still have the Rooneys thinking he's great ?
Thoughts ?
