That's ridiculous..... our first coverage sack of the year was because our best pass rusher was dropped into Zone coverage.
:wadepalm:
You should watch more Pittsburgh games you see this all day from them, you never know where the blitz is coming from, they mix it up and keep you guessing. I've been complaining for 2 years now about our generic blitz packages, finally we are mixing it up somewhat.

You misunderstand.
I don't have a problem with Mario dropping back into coverage. I don't have a problem with changing it up on blitzes.
My problem is that everyone complains about our front four not getting pressure on the QB, when that is just not true. We've been get as much pressure as any four in the league can under 3 seconds.
I've been screaming at our LBs for years, for not being able to take away the underneath, easy throws from the QB.
& when we finally get a coverage sack, it's Mario Williams (our best pass rusher) showing them how to do it.

Thank you! TEs have been tormenting us for years. The only games that TEs don't tear us up is when the secondary is giving up bigger gains to WRs.
Yes, we haven't been getting pressure up front cause we haven't been stunting a lot and running exotic packages. We relied on one on one matchups and basic blitz packages, nothing really exotic.
We just really can't line up our best four against their 5 and create pressure, so we got to blitz and blitz effectively..
I believe our front four does a good job getting pressure on the QB. We were in the top 4 or something last year in QB hurries & pressures last year, but much lower in actual sacks in 2009. I believe it's because we needed that extra hundreth of a second, & our coverage (mainly the LBs) makes it too easy to complete passes.

I disagree, and hence the reason we have continued to look through the draft/FA for help in this area makes me believe that we aren't doing a good job in both run defense and collapsing the pocket.
no it's to get depth in the DL position. DL linemen switch in out a lot. give each other rest. Our pass rush is good late in games. And I think it's because of our depth at DL.
The problem with our pass secondary is because of the LB''s covering the TE's. Our CB's aren't doing a bad job. McCain and Jackson got burned on some plays, but that's rookie mistakes. Repetition will make him faster on reaction. And is starting to show good breaks on pass's.
these passed for games, diles was on the TE, and adibi was weak side helping with the run. Diles isn't a good coverage LB because Cushing usually has the strong side with TE, while Diles is weak side with the run where he's more affective. And Cushing is a great pass rusher.
I think with Cushing coming back ( and back to NFL speed, and form) our Defense will be improved greatly with the pass D.
AND when we play zone, Cushing is more athletic and covers more ground and shuts more things down than Diles does.

Let's face it, we have faced some of the best TE's in the game the first 4 games.. Witten, Cooley, Clark, and Zach Miller being the last. We maybe overreacting a bit yet on the ability of our LB's to cover..

I know you were being a bit facetious here, but if you look at the video who ever the corner was on the right side of the defense must have done a good job...
Grads immediately looked to his left and only came back to his right after he didn't see anything...
When he came back to his right the receiver had just run behind Mario and he tried to scramble out of the pocket only to be met by Demeco...
Not taking anything away from Mario, but the secondary did a good job overall..

Our LBs are simply not good enough in coverage.
Demeco and Diles both need to be a whole lot more consistent in their zone drops.
Good thing that Cushing is back.
I think of him as a beef-up and faster Adibi.
(IMO, Adibi is better than Demeco and Diles in coverage; by that I mean Adibi is at least average in coverage - probably a bit above average.)
