Steelers Vs Bengals Sack Breakdown
To finish out the year, looking at the lone sack allowed by the Pittsburgh Steelers in their regular season finale victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Let’s check it out.
Heads up. We’ll do a full sack recap of the year sometime next week.
1. 3rd and 5, 9:40 2nd. 11 personnel. Six block vs five rush.
An issue of communication here. Steelers are in their half slide protection, a common scheme under Mike Munchak. Half slide, the center starting it, with Ramon Foster and Alejandro Villanueva ostensibly in “man coverage” on the defensive tackle and right defensive end. Jaylen Samuels is responsible for any additional rusher. If two rushers come, then Ben Roethlisberger must throw hot.
