Maybe even bring Shady in as a consultant for this game. Expand Good call out, but I think it's just how the running style is. Gale Sayers was like that as well. I don't know how much a player can adapt to this by trying to change his running style. Shady had a gift with it. It was like he wasn't even impacted and nobody could keep upright. That Lions/Eagles game will always be very memorable for me. On 1/12/2024 at 9:40 PM, Simon said: Play on your heels instead of your toes Expand Agree, I think it lends itself more to a flat footed running style. Just logic. More surface area touches the ground the better traction. Some people really are flat footed vs others with how they make contact with the ground. On 1/12/2024 at 8:05 PM, since79 said: I remember a snowy Steelers game where Le’veon Bell never sprinted to the hole. He hesitated and short stepped his way down the field. He destroyed us in the game. Last year in our Snow game against Cinci, our offensive game plan was for a good track. Players were slipping and sliding on our side all over the field. They seemed most concerned with cleaning their shoe off between plays and being distracted. In their mind they were out of the game and it showed. Meanwhile Cinci came with the correct game plan, better plan for poor footing and they came to execute. There are valuable lessons there. Training staff get it right this time on foot wear choice. Coaches come better prepared with and executable gameplan. Players get you head right and don’t let the conditions distract you. Have an attitude that you are above the conditions. The Steelers have to play in it too. Tomlin will have everything right, he showed us before in the game I mentioned. I hope the lesson was learned…… Expand Our defense is small and fast. Snow is the worst thing for us. Edited January 12, 2024 by Mikie2times Quote

Interesting that Sayers was trying to consciously run like that. I just thought he was flat footed. 1 Quote

DasNootz Posted January 13, 2024 Posted January 13, 2024 (edited) Snow favors the cut runner and WRs. They know when they’re going to cut, defenders don’t. Wind will be the real enemy. Edited January 13, 2024 by DasNootz Quote
