Gully Foyle posted:The hip-drop tackle in consideration doesn't just mean dropping your weight, it means doing so directly onto the ankles/lower legs of the runner - there are tackles where you drop your body weight to get the tackle done but not onto the runner's legs directly. yeah this was confusing me a little cause I was thinking 'isnt this basically a rugby tackle?' you wrap up their hips, and then slide down to their legs/feet and this stops them from running. but i think a traditional rugby tackle lets the runner dive forward a couple yards more where as a hip-drop kinda rolls them up and helps save a yard or whatever. actually i'm probably still confused.

i dont actually mind his dumb homerism that much (other than him carrying water for an already dead roethlisburger the one season and then crowning pickett during training camp), a lot of it is clearly played for laughs in the afcn whiparound. he's just a really bad writer - his articles are like middle school level prose. the big thing was the athletic also used to have ed bouchette for the steelers who was really good (they poached him from the pittsburgh gazette similar to zrebiec getting poached from the baltimore sun). he unfortunately retired just last year, though, so now its literally just kaboly

Roasted Donut posted:I don't have an athletic sub but this is nuts to me because Bouchette was an insane dipshit that got just about literally every scoop about the team wrong consistently. A total crotchety old dickhead i think i probably liked him because he just hated on the steelers 24/7

FAT32 SHAMER posted:So does this mean that their defense is elite to be able to hold teams at bay? Because in that context can you imagine an actual offensive lineup a fun fact that i heard from the broadcast (or think i heard) (and didn't fact check at all) is that the steelers apparently lead the league in yards the defense has allowed. they're something like 5th or whatever in points though, so its your 'bend but dont break' sort of fraudulent poo poo where someone is bound to drop like 30 or 40 on them as soon as they stop getting a bunch of psychotic turnovers, favorable penalties, and poo poo like today where the refs pretend that a safety didnt happen.
