Arians and Ward blocking

Postby Steve0212 » Mon Nov 16, 2009 1:19 pm

One thing I have not seen mentioned anywhere was the beautifully designed PASS plays where Arians kept Hines Ward in to block. I saw two, there may have been more. On one they ended up dumping it off to Hines for a short gain. The other I believe was a sack or incompletion. I mean, how brilliant was that of Arians - take the leading receiver in all categories in the history of the Steelers and make him a blocker on a pass play! Didn't you see every member of the Bengal defense just stop and scratch their head? With innovation like that, think of how far we can go.

I can't believe I forgot about this. While watching the game I said to my friends, "what a great use of our hall of fame WR, leave him in on pass protection"...One of the dumbest things Arians has ever done in my opinion.

I don't know- since Ward has pretty much been erased from the passing game due to his utter failure to get open the last few games, maybe Arians figured he should use Ward in a spot where he still is doing a good job.
