Can You Imagine If We Had A Good O-Line?!

That being said on Burrows first 8 sacks he had at least 3 seconds to throw.  Holding onto the ball too long in an attempt to make big plays sometimes pays off with big plays, but you can not deny that it also leads to more sacks.  Roethlisberger and Russ Wilson are going into the Hall of Fame, and they both took a lot of sacks because they held onto the ball too long.

That is why I loved that first play against pitt:  Screen to Mixon, ball out quick, clean, and he's settled and in a groove.  The game plan against pitt was absolutely beautiful.  Get them chasing sideline to sideline then gash them.  

I have said it before (and got hammered for it) but this coaching staff seems to have a solid plan to deal with the division rivals.
