What Packages?

The one where he stands in the pocket and throws 8 yard comeback routes to Sanders. Worked well last night

That was Nice, and how many times do we run similar plays again that work against a weakness? and how many times do we force the same plays over and over that dont work??

when do we ever find the defenses weakness and stick with attacking that??

until they figure out how to stop it, then change over to a new attack once they adjust?

only seen in a Steelers fans football dream.. arians blows.

we never found a weakness in the Broncos defensive game. They are not that good.

mcdaniels pounded keenan with passes and runs until gay came in.... poor keenean
no.. smart play calling.

Leftwich starts. Last nights game was Dixon's chance to make his case and he failed miserably. Not that Lefty played much better, but Dixon didn't win the job off of him.

heres one quote... not dixons fault...

It wasn't much better for rookie Emmanuel Sanders, either.

The Steelers were using him at flanker for the first time after spending training camp and the preseason at split end. But Sanders, a third-round draft pick, twice failed to come back to the ball on sideline routes, the latter resulting in a 77-yard interception return by cornerback Andre Goodman.

Not saying it was all on him. But he did not play very well. I was interested to see if he could put together a nice performance, but it just didn't happen. He gave the coaches no reason to think he is ready to start the opener.

I think that Leftwich gets the nod. I think the INT Dixon threw in the endzone hurt him moreso than the pick 6. He should've just thrown it away instead of forcing it.

But as I've said from day one, i won't be upset if either of them starts. What worries me is Bruce Arians and his playcalling.
