View topic - Why was Dixon under center the whole second half???

[SteelerBrian Profile]

Dixon looked comfortable in the SG the whole first half, and the TV announcers even correctly stated that he played (VERY effectively) from the SG his entire college career. And yet Arians had him taking snaps from under center pretty much the entire second half, including on many obvious passing downs (2nd or 3rd and long). What benefit was there to having him take the snaps from under center and then have to back pedal while trying to watch the receivers routes develop instead of taking the snap from SG with a better view of the field and already 'in the pocket' ??? Not to mention the fact that Arians ignored his quickness and foot speed and had him stand back there like a completely immobile QB. What a waste of talent!

I'm not worried about Dixon. He'll do fine, albeit elsewhere, now that he saw what Arians asks him to do, and now that everyone else in the league saw what they could do with him.

Give me a list of your favorite plays my ass. I'm surprised he didn't throw a pick sooner with that playcalling.

I thought we'd see Arians using some true spread formations, as he's done before with Ben taking snaps. Arians seems determined to misuse talent and avoid maximizing what he has to work with. The Steelers should insist that Arians submits to a cat scan. He appears to have some sort of tumor obstructing the blood flow in his brain which prevents him from accessing the cognitive thinking areas of his brain.
