Alright, let’s kick off Steelers week with this little play from 2007, which is arguably the greatest touchdown of the epic 2007 season. The fact that it just happened to be over that Steeler safety (purposely not mentioning his real name since I don’t remember it and don’t care enough to go look it up because he’s a jerkhole) who had predicted victory for the Squealers, was just the icing on the cake.

I should also point out that I was at this game and it was a certain pregame incident (more to come on that later) that inspired me to begin blogging, which has of course resulted in me making literally tens of dollars.

I was actually in the very last row of Gillette for this one, overdressed so I was comfortably warm (and numb I might add, thanks Kevin!), as a drunk girl next to us somehow peed on the upper wall of the stadium (don’t ask cause I don’t know). But from way up there it was amazing to watch this play develop. 

I actually expect similar type misdirection and trickeration this weekend. The Steelers have an attacking defense and if you can fool them and get them out of position, you could be looking at a big play.

The new Football Outsiders DVOA rankings are out, and the trends for the Patriots don’t look too hot.

Offensively the Pats have been pretty much in a steady decline since the first game of the season. Despite this the Patriots still have the best offensive DVOA in all of football.

Defensively (where I’ve flipped the ratings to negative to make the chart a little easier to analyze) the Pats are starting to regress again the last two weeks after decent improvement since the Jets game.

On Special Teams the trend of the last three games of marginally poor performances continued.

It’s not getting any easier for the Patriots with the Steelers on deck and the Colts in the hole. Reversing the current trends will no be small task. Graphically, this looks like a team headed in the wrong direction and that’s disturbing.

Found this video today of linebacker drills from training camp 2010, or more specifically INSIDE linebacker drills. Thought it was kind of interesting. As you can see they’re working on gaining leverage based on where the play is going. There’s a notable “Good Job, Dane” shouted by Matt Patricia at one point. 

On a related note I’m happy to see Tyrone McKenzie catch on with Tampa Bay. Even to my slowly-being-trained eyes Fletcher looked like the better fit for New England defense than Tyrone. He was quicker to react and has better length which is more conducive to taking on blockers, and then shedding them without allowing them to get into you.

Dan Koppen has some competition for sexiest red headed Patriot as Shayne Graham comes aboard while Stephen Gostkowski nurses his quad back to health. At least his initials are SG too.

Who’s got $50 for a pom hat? Yikes, glad I got mine from the pro shop last year. I should’ve bought a couple of them.
