Los Pittsburgh Steelers cayeron 9 - 3 contra los Buffalo Bills el sábado por la noche en el segundo partido de la pretemporada de la NFL. El marcador nos dice mucho de cómo se desarrolló el juego en cuanto a las ofensivas, pero hubo mejoría notoria en otras áreas del equipo.
Russell Wilson hizo su debut con los Steelers. Mike Tomlin le dio cinco ofensivas a los titulares y el resultado fue: dos primeras oportunidades, 34 yardas en total y un gol de campo fallado.
"Siempre queremos ganar, esa es nuestra misión. No pudimos hacerlo esta noche pero se sintió bien estar vestido negro y dorado, solamente tener el honor de portar este jersey y compartirlo con mis compañeros es una bendición para mi", comentó Russell Wilson tras el partido.
Si analizamos la estadísticas de Wilson podemos ver que 8 de 10 pases para 47 yardas, lo que nos indica que sus pases fueron cortos y no se sentía cómodo para soltar más el brazo, cabe señalar que sufrió tres capturas en cinco series ofensivas, dos de ellas del lado de Broderick Jones.
"No hicimos un buen trabajo protegiendo a nuestro quarterback. Tenemos que ser mejores en situaciones de pase protegiendo a nuestro QB durante todo el partido", comentó Coach Tomlin.
Justin Fields tuvo un buen partido, aunque la protección tampoco fue buena para él. Sumó 40 yardas por tierra, la gran mayoría de ellas por escapar de la presión de los defensivos y no por diseño de jugada.
Fields tuvo un par de pases muy buenos, incluídos uno a Dre Fitzpatrick en tercera y siete de 19 yardas, en el que salió por píes de la bolsa de protección y lanzó un dardo en una ventana muy pequeña en la que Fitzpatrick bajó el balón en los límites de la cancha.
Hablando de la defensiva, la unidad luce bastante sólida. Ni Cam Heyward, ni T.J. Watt, ni Alex Highsmith tuvieron participación en el juego y aún así la unidad de primer equipo se vio bastante bien, muy buen partido por parte de Herbig y shoutout a Miles Killebrew por la intercepción.
Para el cierre de la pretemporada los Pittsburgh Steelers jugarán ante los Detroit Lions. Todavía hay varios detalles por ajustar, pero para eso existe la pretemporada, te da la oportunidad de entrar en ritmo antes de lo que verdaderamente importa.
