Film Room: Mason Rudolph’s Eyes Fool Dolphins’ Secondary

Mason Rudolph got off to the roughest of starts Monday night. By game’s end, everyone forgot about how half of Steelers’ Nation wanted to bench him for Duck Hodges.

Physically, Rudolph was all over the place against the Miami Dolphins. Poor footwork, throwing off his back foot. Ball placement that was inconsistent, missing gimmie throws. Throws that lofted in the air that landed in arms of awaiting Dolphins’ defenders.

But mentally, he was rock solid. Not only with his toughness, putting those bad plays behind him, but how he manipulated Miami’s secondary.
