Otherwise , no complaints from me.And I think he has played more under control this year. James Harrison said that he didn't think the hit on Brown should have been a penalty - though he admitted by rule it is. The point being that it was not a dirty hit. It was a hard football hit made at top speed.
I still think he plays dirty. You don't see DeCastro pile driving other linebackers into the ground. You know he's talking and I believe he was probably spitting.
I hope he takes the extras away from his behavior on the field. But as for his play I thought it was just great football, from the Bell tackle to the Rothlesberger tackles to the Brown hit.
And as far as team play. I thought we played a clean game. Adam Jones lost his temper, but the dogs on the field were the Pittsburgh coaches.
