Biggest takeaway. Schotty finally adjusted.

quick passing just butchered the Pitt D.

Oline can't protect, not creating huge holes? Get that ball out.

That was nice to see.

I agree. Halftime adjustments led to a really nice third quarter.

Good to see.
They started with it and got away from it for some reason, but went back to it just in time.

Looked like a completely different team than last week. That was promising.

If only they could get Ifedi to buy in.

If only they could get Ifedi to retire.

Cincy blitzed a lot last week, and got through. Pisshole did the same thing but we finally started bringing in Fant.

And how about former defensive lineman Will Dissly? Heart of a Champion!!

Every time they do this, they seem to go back to the deep sets in the first drive of the very next game. Wonder if Pete can resist the temptation this time.

I would like to see them line up in the I formation, with Carson at FB and Penny behind. Why waste time? Throw in Procise once in a while to spell Penny, and let him become the great back he will be. Carson is just not the guy. He has fumblitis, once caught by a player it has a 60% chance of destroying his career. THAT would be an adjustment.

There's already a "bench Carson" thread. Take this s*** there.

Tiki Barber fumbled a lot early in his career. Tom Coughlin showed him a better way to carry the ball, high and tight.

I think this is just an aberration for CC. He'll be okay.

I would like to think they'd adjust faster after the first 3 or 4 sacks, and adjust to what Pittsburgh was doing. I will give credit for making the adjustment though, such a welcome sight to see!!

After all the 2.5 second pressures resulting in a sacks in the first half, finally, the 'Hawks started turning those into 7, 10 and 15 yard quick pass completions to Dissley, Vannett, Metcalf, and even Malik Turner. When we finally started burning their pattern of bringing extra rushers, that's when the game changed. Soooo nice to see!

When we had that 9 point lead and the ball, I was expecting still another nice drive. FUMBLE!!

Nevertheless, Schotty and Russell closed out the game nicely with that 5 minute offense. Very satisfying win!

Carson lost two fumbles all season last year. Zeke had what 5? Would you have cut Zeke?

The fumbles need to be corrected yes but I don't see it being something he can't improve. It's not like he's just dropping the ball. Marshawn would fumble sometimes too just because of his running style and desire to fight for extra yards.

How about Fant as a right tackle?

Good point.

Couldn't agree more, the adjustments were so nice to see.

That is the part that I will never understand and frustrates me. Why not start that way too? Russ seems to get in a rhythm as well.

Definitely too rash if you're already asking for Carson to be benched. He's our bell cow back, who we will need the rest of the season. No reason to interject a RB controversy AND ruin Carson's psyche by benching him.

Now if it continues? Then Pete has a hard decision to make. But no reason to think they can't work out the issue in practice and film room. Carson just has to know when to stop fighting for an extra yard and when to just secure the ball.

Adjustments was awesome to see, and something we've all been asking to see for a long time.
