Ktrain... Freak Yah... He ran back into the pocket. why didnt he run and slide for 5 yards.?? That play pissed me off becuase it was all Ben's fault... He is such a gamer its killing us and him...

Of course it was Ben's fault. Couldn't have been Haley's fault for having Heath Miller lined up in the backfield on 3rd and 4. Which means as the primary target he's running 7 yards to gain 4. Nor was it Haley's fault for having the "RB check down" blocking on the play either.

I hope Ben does what Rivers does. Just quit on a play at the first sign of trouble, just for one game.

We'll see how the Yinzers like that.

It's the double edge sword with Ben....

Haley is not locked into that offense though, thats not the type of offense he ran in AZ or KC at all, but they dont have the big bodied WRs that he had there so thats why heath miller had a career year. If they were to draft keenan allen or pursue bowe then things would look much different. All the WRs dropping a shit load of passes and wallace rounding off his routes were killers for the YPA, for a while it was disheartening to see them throw down field because it was dropped or fumbled.

Haley probably wants a back that has speed a bit more than a fullback and a big bodied WR, until that happens we will probably continue to see the short offense because thats where brown and heath thrive

Well said Ktrain...........

Big bodied WR..hmmm we had one that retired. All we're left with are a bunch of punish pretending to receivers...

Danny Smith should be a good addition. Lots of Skins fans really like him here...
