Steelers defensive performance reminiscent of seasons past
Steelers defensive performance reminiscent of seasons past
By Alan Robinson
Published: Tuesday, November 6, 2012
Steelers cornerback Keenan Lewis breaks up a first-quarter pass intended for the Giants' Hakeem Nicks on Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
Steelers defense yards per game averages since 2005:
2008 237.2 *
2012 262.6 *
2007 266.4 *
2011 271.8 *
2010 276.8
2005 284.0
2006 300.3
2009 305.3
* Leads NFL
This is the Steelers defense everyone expects, yet it isnt.
The Steelers are No. 1 overall and tops against the pass, No. 7 against the run and No. 9 in fewest points allowed familiar territory for a defense that has led the NFL three of the past five seasons. But to James Harrison, this defense has a different feel.
The stars arent the stars any longer, partly due to injuries to Harrison and the still-sidelined Troy Polamalu. The schematics are changing on a weekly basis because of the rapid evolution in the passing game. Defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau has never needed to be more creative or constantly adaptive.
Still, the Super Bowl champion Giants couldnt net a single positive yard in the fourth quarter Sunday and managed only 182 yards in all. It was the second time in three games a Steelers opponent was kept below 190 yards, something the rest of the NFLs other 31 defenses have done only seven times.
I dont think were at that (previous) level this (Giants) game was one situation where we were able to come through and do that, but we still have a long road to go to get to where we want to be with our alignment, our assignment keys and so forth, Harrison said. Were taking steps in the right direction, but we still made a lot of mistakes and left plays out there we could have made.
The sacks (14) and takeaways (8) arent there yet halfway into the season, yet the Steelers (5-3) are better statistically than they were a season ago.
I just think that were growing and doing it better, coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday. Were not doing anything differently. Weve had some young guys playing situational football, like (nickel back) Cortez Allen, and hes starting to play a lot better now. So theres nothing different schematically, but the packages are bigger now than they were earlier in the year.
One difference maker is outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley, who forced a fumble and had two quarterback hurries in the fourth quarter alone as the Steelers rallied from 10 points down to beat the Giants, 24-20, their biggest win in more than a year. Only a few weeks ago, a finding-its-way defense couldnt get off the field in the fourth quarter while losing leads to the Broncos, Raiders and Titans.
I dont think we ever went away, truth be told, Woodley said. Were all just doing what we are supposed to do. Were just playing like the Steelers play football. Were just happy to get some things together.
Woodley has been bothered by a troublesome hamstring injury but is ranked as the leagues No. 3 outside linebacker performance-wise, ahead of Clay Matthews.
Cornerback Keenan Lewis, who has significantly upgraded his play despite being called twice Sunday for pass interference, allowed one catch for 10 yards while being targeted five times.
The arrows been pointing up with Keenan, Tomlin said. Hes been consistently challenging and competing on just about every throw. Hes a big reason why weve been hot in the back end in recent weeks.
Ryan Clark, arguably the Steelers defensive MVP to date, grades out as one of the NFLs highest-ranked defensive backs, even as he and Will Allen subbing for Polamalu alternate between free and strong safety.
Despite minimal production from the defensive line Ziggy Hood, for instance, has seven tackles on 149 snaps the defense is playing with visibly more confidence than before.
I think Larry Foote said it best: This team looks kind of familiar, Ike Taylor said on TribLive Radio. Its a no-nonsense offense and defense, the way were closing games out, and were finally getting off the field on third down. Youre finally seeing that physical style of play.

Re: ]Steelers defensive performance reminiscent of seasons past
Improving Steelers defense could get better
By F. Dale Lolley
After beating the defending Super Bowl champions on the road, the Steelers head into the second half of the schedule with a critical four-game stretch that could make or break this season.
Following next Monday nights game at Heinz Field against Kansas City, the Steelers play three consecutive AFC North games, including a home-and-away series with Baltimore.
Considering the Steelers (5-3) currently sit one game behind Baltimore (6-2) in the standings, its not a stretch to say those two games could decide the division championship.
First, the Steelers have to take care of business against the Chiefs (1-7), a team averaging just 16.6 points per game, 30th in the league.
For a surging Pittsburgh defense it could be just the right time to get All-Pro strong safety Troy Polamalu back in the lineup.
Polamalu played in the Steelers opener at Denver before sitting out the next two weeks with a strained calf. He returned to play in Pittsburghs 16-14 win Oct. 7, but left in the first half after aggravating the calf injury.
The Steelers had targeted the game against the Chiefs as a possible return date for Polamalu, but at the least should have him back on the field for a Nov. 18 meeting at Heinz Field against Baltimore.
After holding the Giants to 182 yards in a 24-20 victory Sunday, the Steelers adding another piece to the defensive puzzle could be a scary proposition for opposing offenses.
Now leading the league in total defense, allowing 262.6 yards per game and having closed out their last three opponents in the fourth quarter, the Steelers defense appears to be back on track after a slow start.
I dont think we ever went anywhere, truth be told, said linebacker LaMarr Woodley. Were all just doing what we are supposed to do. Were just playing Steeler football. Were just happy to get some things together.
After allowing nine fourthquarter scoring drives in their first five games, the Steelers have given up just one in their last three games a field goal to Washington in a 27-12 blowout. Not coincidentally, the Steelers have won all three of those games.
Were starting to play together as a team, which is what it takes to beat good teams, said defensive end Brett Keisel. Were starting to get better.
That was never more apparent than against a Giants offense that entered Sundays game averaging nearly 400 yards and more than 29 points per game.
Quarterback Eli Manning is considered one of the best fourth-quarter quarterbacks in the NFL, having led the Giants from behind to wins in nine games since the start of the 2011 season.
Against the Steelers Sunday, the Giants had three possessions in the fourth quarter. They resulted in nine offensive plays and three punts. Manning, who leads the NFL with 2,446 passing yards, finished 10 of 24 passing for 125 yards, his lowest total since throwing for 123 yards in a 2008 loss against Philadelphia.
Sometimes, you have those games, and obviously theyre a good defense, said Manning. Theyre talented and they do a great job with the defense mixing up the looks.
The Steelers could get even better with Polamalus return. Were finishing the game now, said Woodley, who had a sack-strip of Manning to end the Giants final possession. I mean, thats the biggest thing.
I expect it all the time. Sometimes we put ourselves in bad situations, but we keep the game close.
Odds and end zones
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw two touchdown passes against the Giants and now has 201 in his career. ... The victory was the 60th for head coach Mike Tomlin. He tied Chuck Knox as the fourth-fastest coach to reach 60 wins in 88 games behind George Siefert (75), Joe Gibbs (84) and Mike Ditka (85). ... The Steelers are 3-0 against NFC teams this season. They are the only AFC team that is unbeaten against the NFC.

Re: ]Steelers defensive performance reminiscent of seasons past
I was so impressed with the defense's performance on Sunday. They did just about everything right - the D shut down Eli Manning (who has been HOT as of late), the Giants running game, and limited the big plays. I was a little concerned with some of the big passes the team gave up, but that's the Giants passing attack, they are full of dangerous threats. You can't really shut down Victor Cruz. He'll get his, and he did on Sunday, but the Steelers totally stopped Nicks. Great play by the secondary.
I just hope this is a preview of what has yet to come. No doubt the team is playing their best football of the season. Let's hope they continue to beat the good teams and make a statement!

Saucy Salamander (Ubuntu Codename)
Saucy Salamander is the Ubuntu codename for version 13.10 of the Ubuntu Linux-based operating system. Officially released in October 2013, Saucy Salamander follows the Raring Ringtail (v13.04) release and serves as a unifying update for the operating system by laying the groundwork for accelerating the optimization of Ubuntu for multiple form factors, particularly mobile use.
Saucy Salamander also features a new Mir display server, an Ubuntu replacement for the legacy X server used on Linux and Unix systems. Additional changes include the new Linux 3.11 kernel, a Smart Scopes search feature, full disk encryption as an installation option, and enhanced integration with Ubuntu One, which provides cloud-based access to app, photos and music.
What Exactly Is a Saucy Salamander?
Saucy is an adjective that means impudent or flippant, and can also be considered "cheeky," or playfully rude or sassy. The salamander is an amphibian with a lizard-like look that has a rare ability for regenerating its lost limbs.
The Saucy Salamander release of Ubuntu Linux was followed by Trusty Tahr (Ubuntu v14.04 LTS) in April 2014.

Now if only we could get an accurate version of the situation---from say a white businessman.
What I see in SA is they are very proud of cleaning up some of the slums (a favorite tourist attraction believe it or not)....but in the meantime population and urbanization plus unemployment pressures have created twice as many cardboard shanty towns.
I cannot believe that the murder rate is 1/5th of the rate of 1994....makes all the other statistics quoted suspect.
Here is my scenario... population pressures will out strip the economy...money will become tighter and tighter....there will not be enough (already a problem) skilled workers to run the 1st world economy the ANC inherited in 1994.
How can you look at 36% unemployment and 20% of adults with HIV both probably optimistic like the crime figures and not feel a sucking vortex.
No honest white South African is optimistic...The
DA winning in 2024 are you serious??
If 60 per cent of the electorate vote for this corrupt man then they have nobody else to blame but themselves when the country nosedives.
Mandela is gone. The modern day ANC is a shadow of its former self. Quit living in the past and see the wood for the trees.
Are you taking your medicine?
It's the "invisible hand", the millions of people who want to make a better life that have grown the economy, not the ANC. The test of a successful government rests with how much better it has done than the rest by creating the right environment. .. not a good story to tell for SA if you ask me. Your own article confirms the low comparative growth rates for may years, compounding magnitude of absence of real progress.
The ANC has created a bloated bureaucracy of cadre deployment supported by failing education, diverting tax revenues to wages and living off the existing infrastructure. In the next couple of years SA cannot grow at high rates, there is simply no electricity to support such growth; hospitals and health are in a mess, road, rail and port infrastructure is behind, safety margins for water are running thin. That's the story to tell.
Basically a PC piece by MSM idiots.
I recently read Ian Smith's Bitter Harvest.... I see a lot of the same symptoms developing in SA...bloating of the public sector with pay off jobs...no accountability -- audits are all but impossible in most municipalities.
"Tax collections that are the envy..." that is a good one.
The ANC inherited a 1st world economy complete with nuclear weapons (ready to be assembled) the inevitable thugocracy is taking a little longer than I expected but give it another 10 years. The DA elected?
May I remind you Mugabe recently won an election in a landslide--I rest my case.
I think the article does not dig deep enough. For example, how is the Aids policy of Mr. Mbeki to be interpreted? In the English wikipedia article about him, the New York Times is quoted as:
"due to Thabo Mbeki's rejection of scientific consensus on AIDS and his embrace of AIDS denialism, an estimated 365,000 people had perished in South Africa".
So what is this telling us about him? That he was a brutal killer of his own people? Or, that he was incredibly stupid?
And what is this telling us about the South African system and its representatives (including Mr. Mandela), which let Mbeki govern on until 2008? That they were incredibly stupid? Or that they were so morally corrupt that they rather let their crony govern on, with a couple 100.000 more deaths, than rectify it? (I know that the Treatment Action Campaign had successes in the courts in 2002, but Mbeki was allowed to stay on).
For comparison: In France, about 4.000 haemophiliacs were infected with HIV via blood transfusions. The prime minister, Mr. Fabius, had to stand trial, as did Mr. Hervé, secretary of health; and Mr. Hervé was convicted. And their negligence was much less of a crime compared to the active meddling of Mr. Mbeki.
So, in comparison to e.g. France, the governing people and the system in South Africa are either very brutal or very stupid. That is nothing to be proud of, and the scandal is that Mr. Mbeki was never prosecuted.
What is the answer to the simple question: Would the evil Apartheid regime have pursued the same Aids policy as Mr. Mbeki? Or would they have had a standard Aids policy, and saved hundreds of thousands? What makes you so sure that the other statistics you quote, such as the very questionable number on the homicide rate, counterbalance just the Aids atrocity of Mr. Mbeki?
Rationally yours,
since i am a little kid media, school, everybody tells me tht apartheid and jim crow are one of the most evil things in the world. but i actually never understood why this is the case. if group A builds a hospital, and doctors from group A work in this hospital there is in my opinion no natural right for members of group B to use the hospital, same goes for water fountaines, benches in the park etc. What is evil? murder is evil, the things you find in the bible, what moses told his people, stealing, etc. Slayery is evil. But not letting members of group B sit on the bench you constructed? i dont understand it
Good point- if European immigrants say just settled in the Cape Province and did so in numbers like the movement to Australia we could have had a white majority country. Would have been interesting how that would have played out- no apartheid and a large coloured, black and Asian mix living beside a black Anzania.
Typo spotted:
"The first fully democratic elections 20 years ago marked the end of more than 300 years of colonial and white-majority rule"
I think you mean white-minority rule.
LOL. Care to compare statistics to 1973?
1973: Unemployment 3%, R0.73 = $1 ( currently R10.5 = $1 ), the world's 9th largest stock exchange, the world's 15th largest economy.
a fair summary of South Africa's trajectory. the ANC has done much to alleviate the inequities of the past but i'm afraid all the low hanging fruits have been plucked. what's more disconcerting to me is that the success of the ANC and South Africa are appearing to become more and more divergent.
there's a finite amount of time allowed for a healthy multi-party democracy to evolve. incumbent authority starts exercising its power more on efforts to protect its own interest to fight off any threats even if it may hurt the long term prospects of the nation. it's a race between the electorate's concerns - which depend in large on education, employment and socio-economic class - maturing faster than a regressive slide to authoritarianism.
my sincere hope is that the ANC continues doing broadly good for the disadvantaged of society before it contemplates oppressive measures seriously. they did after all fight for our freedom. we need them now to respect it even if it hurts their own interests.
When EC employees are people from the Bulgarian National Bank, who have taken purposefully wrong decisions for causing the crisis and are quite close to corruption, there is no doubt who is behind this story. It is like "envelop theorem". I am not responsible for them. For such cases the former dictator Stalin from USSR has said "If there is a person, there is a problem, If there is not a person there is not problem" (for somebody .who is aware of such facts for example). Even Stalin would have not bother relatives. Now is the moment for EC to change their attitude for concealed dictatorship and manipulation or Stalin have shown you the way.

Well said, big up!
Is there any room in your mind for democracy? Don't you have any respect for the majority and their choice?
That's YOUR story, a lot of anger and resentments, not necessary the truth.
Actually at one point they may as well have been the majority.

Harvard B-School Professor Who Excoriated Chinese Restaurant For $4 Overcharge Has Does This Before, For Lesser Things
Harvard-educated Harvard professor Ben Edelman has now apologized for threatening legal action against Sichuan Garden for overcharging him $4, and now Boston.com, where four of the top five stories right now involve the academic, breaks the news to readers that he may have done something similar in 2010. A now-closed sushi spot called Osushi apparently […]
Wharton Alums Not Interested In Spending Any More Time Together Than Absolutely Necessary
Harvard and Kellogg MBAs (well, four of them, anyway) love to make a few million by day and catch some college hoops/eat beef sandwiches together by night. Penn State, Princeton, UT and USC alums, too. For Whartonites, two years at West Philadelphia's College of Capitalism were more than enough time in each other's company.
Let's Exchange Heated Words Over: Business School Rankings
Once again, as it does every year, US News has released its ranking of the best, not bad, and okay business schools.

Unfortunate Scheduling Leaves HBS Student With Mother Of All Sophie's Choices: Bomb Marketing Exam Or Marry Some Kind Safety School Street Urchin
One night that fall, Ms. Navab, who had laughed off the hand-raising seminar, sat at an Ethiopian restaurant wondering if she had made a bad choice. Her marketing midterm exam was the next day, but she had been invited on a very business-school kind of date: a new online dating service that paired small groups […]
Business School Applicants Having None Of This "Show Us You Can Speak Without Paying A Consultant $500 To Show You How" Crap
After years of receiving scripted answers to questions from would-be business school students re: why they want to go to Harvard/Wharton/Stanford/Sloan or what they think of a company's earnings potential or where they see themselves in five to ten years or what they ate for breakfast, admissions officers have lately been taking a new tack in an attempt to see the "real" side of applicants. Hoping to get a little "unrehearsed honesty" and insight into who these people really are, prospective students are being asked to submit "reflections" ("a short, off-the-cut note that must be submitted within 24 hours of an admissions interview") and take part in "team-based discussions," for which they're told to "relax, be genuine," not worry about giving the "right" answer, and just say what they really think, rather than what a coach told them to say they think. Unfortunately, Harvard and Wharton officials apparently have no idea who they're dealing with here. You can't make future b-school students relax and be genuine! You can't! You won't!

US News has regaled us with its annual ranking of the top business schools. I know you need a safe space to get huffy about perceived slights (be it your MBA program being lower than you believe is accurate or by having to suffer the indignity of an inferior institution being too close on the list), so let it out here and now.
Harvard Business School Alum Has A 4-Point Plan For Fixing The Election Process In The United States
On November 6, 2012, as the results of the presidential election rolled in, a member of the Harvard Business School Class of 2010 considered ending it all. "The thought crossed my mind to jump off my penthouse apartment balcony," he wrote his fellow classmates yesterday. Sure, he had a lot to live for: friends, family, the earthly delights afforded to him by living in Southern California ("surfing, mountains, 78 degree sunshine, and hot babes everywhere"), as well as a new company and all that came with it (relationships with celebrities that straddle the line between "friend and service provider," as well as invites to "the VMAs and private concerts in Vegas"). But he also had a lot of reasons to be good and angry at the world, including but not limited to: the state of California being "filled with so many hippie liberals" he just might snap and in doing so "choke out a street bum," people who "sit around with their hand out and expect to be fed," and, most vexingly, the reelection of Barack Obama.
And while he did not in fact end up leaping from his penthouse balcony apartment that night, make no mistake, he was and is exceedingly pissed about the direction this country is going, which is south on the Pacific Coast Highway right straight to hell. And whereas the endless stream of bums and hobos and hippies he encounters each and every day the second he steps out of his penthouse apartment probably would take the easy way out, because that's what they do, he's better than that. So instead, he went to bed, got up, sat down at his computer and channeled his anger into something productive: a list of suggestions for how we can get America back on track and in four years, rest it from the hands of the commie holding it hostage, like forcing candidates to use bullet points and telling people who don't believe in capitalism to pack their shit because in 20 minutes a van is coming to ship their non-contributing zero asses off to a country where it's not actually a "privilege" to live.
First, though, some life updates, because it really has been too long.
What Percentage Of Harvard Business School's Class Of 1986 Is Lying About How Much Weight They've Gained?
For its 25th reunion last year, the members of Harvard Business School's class of 1986 were asked to fill out an 85 question survey to give their former classmates a picture of where life has taken them since the gang parted ways. In addition to standard queries like "how much money are you making" (median annual net income: $350,000, median personal net worth: $6 million), "did you start a business" (36 percent said yes), "was choosing to attend Harvard Business School the best decision you've ever made" (48 percent responded that it was "one of the best decisions of my life," 1 percent boldly claimed "it was not a particularly productive use of my time or money"), and how many times have you been laid-off and/or fired (4 percent have been "involuntarily dismissed" three times, 13 percent twice, and 47 percent once) the questionnaire writers dug quite a bit deeper to find out that:
A quarter of them are wanton little shoe whores.
One in four own 25 or more pairs of shoes (58% of the women and 15% of the men).
A third of them are actual whores.*
A third of the class (33%) admitted to having slept with someone whose last name they didn't know (37% for men, 17% for women).
Ninety-seven percent of them are getting laid on the reg.
Just 3% of the alums say they want more sex. The highest priorities? Time (31%), health (18%), and peace of mind (13%).
(Poets&Quants, which obtained the results of the survey, interpreted the above as being indication that "sex isn't a very high priority for the Class of 1986″ though couldn't it just as easily be indication that they're getting enough already, figuring asking for 6 times/day instead of 5 would be greedy?)
A quarter are on a boat.
25% own a boat.
As many as three percent may have wed a mail-order bride.
Some 18% dated someone they met online, but only 3% of the class married the person they met on the Internet or by some "other commercial means."
Three percent are that guy.
What did the class find to be the most valuable part of getting an MBA from Harvard?…Some 3% said it was "something to drop into cocktail party conversations."
And approximately three-quarters of these people, aged 53-55, are bald-faced liars.
Slightly more than one in four alums have gained 11 to 20 pounds since they wore their cap and gown. Some 15% put on 21 to 30 pounds, while 5% tip the scales with weight gains of 31 to 50 pounds.
More than a little suspect.
