Harris and Warren have combined for 32 carries and 89 yds for 0 TDs in last years and 2021 game vs Bills.  If Rudolph can’t throw pretty sure Bills D will shut down PIT run game

Different teams with different players and schemes. The stats you cited are meaningless.

I don’t know why the Steelers are a right off to most people. The football they are playing right now with Rudolph is one that caters to the weather we are forecasted to have…

 

Tough running game and a feisty defense.

I would counter that when McDermott can make a team one-dimensional, he’s usually very effective.

 

I’d go back to the Ravens Playoff game where they were the team with the run game advantage but couldn’t really do much of anything.

 

That being said.. if we struggle to score, all it takes is a turnover in a bad spot or missed gap and we’re chasing them.  
 

We also are a middling run defense because McD prioritizes defending the pass.   There really isn’t a reason a DL consisting of Joseph, Oliver, Jones, Rousseau, Floyd and Lawson shouldn’t be dominant against the run if they want to be. ….but they’re going to have to be, especially if Dodson can’t go. 
 

I think we all know this is a huge advantage for the Steelers if the conditions severely limit our passing attack.

Well said.

The Bills will miss Gabe Davis' blocking, but this type of game is perfect for tight ends, and the Bills have two good ones. Knox and Kincaid might not leave the field.

Sherfield is also a good blocker.  He made key blocks last week.

I really think this be the first game that the DK brothers completely dominate - they haven't played a ton together but I just have this feeling it all happens this week

Anyways, I don’t care about the Steelers And don’t watch them. Why is Rudolph playing instead of the other 2 busts on their team?

Pickett got knocked out of 3 games and Trubisky was totally ineffective in relief.  So when Pickett's Week 13 injury sent him to IR, they benched Trubisky and went with Rudolph booping up a 3-2 record that put them in the playoffs and the best performance of the three of them.

 

So when Pickett came off IR, Tomlin wasn't on the fence about staying with Rudolph.

Yes, it's very handy if you get stuck in the snow and need a snack.  Frozen cake still gives the yums.

Anyone remember that playoff game in the waning days of the Kelly years, where we rushed for over 300 yards?

 

They used so many reverses, and then fake reverses once the D was anticipating them.  It was genius.

 

I'd love to see that kind of play calling.  When you do that kind of misdirection in a game like this, the D has a really challenging time turning on a dime.

You want to show some stats to backup these claims?  I don't see anything where PIT is a much better- if better at all- run team.

Expand  

Harris rushed for 1,035 yards for an average of 4.1 yards a carry. 8tds

 

Warren rushed for 784 yards for an average of 5.1 yards a carry. 4 tds

 

Harris 29 catches for 170 yards.

 

Warren 69 catches for 370 yards . 

 

Last 3 games Steelers ran for 155 yards vs Baltimore, 202 yards vs Seattle, and 113 yards vs Cinci.

Are you comfortable running something we haven’t implemented all season though? Is this the time to try new things? What’s your opinion?

Heard some disappointing news from an acquaintance in the DA's office today about an incident involving a player. Not a critical player and I can't say who, but I don't think it will effect things this week. I'll never understand how these guys can ***** up so badly.

Was it against the Dolphins in 1995? It's the only game I can think of before he retired. We lost to Pittsburgh the following week in the divisional.
