Said when you paid 20 million you have to make the plays, meaning he has to make the throw or even the attempts. Robinson said Cousins checked down too much first half and second half Pittsburgh made the zone adjustment because they knew they weren't covering Skins receivers correctly.

2. Skins front 7 were dominated by the Pittsburgh Oline...Pitts control the LOS and that is extremely strange for a Scott McC team. Generally his number one thing is defensively on the LOS is to force their will on the opponent in that trench. Everything starts on the dline.

Its just so fuckin sad

I think the Cousins thing will get fixed, it's the second thing that bothers me the most.

When I would see the guard pulling, he would literally devastate whoever was in the way. Sometimes it was two people! I've never seen our defensive line get worked like that.
