Business Wire CHESHIRE, Conn. -- April 25, 2013 Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALXN) today announced financial results and a development pipeline update for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company reported net product sales of Soliris^® (eculizumab) of $338.9 million, an increase of 38 percent from the same period in 2012. Revenue performance for the quarter reflects steady additions of new patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) globally, and an increasing number of new patients with atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS) commencing Soliris treatment in the US and Western Europe. "The first quarter was particularly noteworthy for the significant progress across our lead development programs. This included completing enrollment in the deceased-donor kidney transplant trial and the hypophosphatasia infant natural history study, initiating plans for a single myasthenia gravis registration trial, and accelerating our cPMP clinical programs," said Leonard Bell, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Alexion. "During this past quarter we continued to serve more patients with PNH around the world, as well as a growing number of aHUS patients in the US, with initial aHUS patients commencing treatment in countries of Western Europe. Further, in line with our longer term growth objectives, we have also announced earlier today that we are broadening and strengthening our executive leadership team." First Quarter 2013 Financial Results: Alexion's non-GAAP operating results are GAAP operating results adjusted for the impact of certain items described below. A full reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results is included later in this press release. First Quarter 2013 Non-GAAP Financial Results: The Company reported non-GAAP net income of $131.3 million, or $0.65 per share, in the first quarter of 2013, compared to non-GAAP net income of $88.1 million, or $0.45 per share, in the first quarter of 2012. Alexion's non-GAAP operating expenses for Q1 2013 were $164.4 million, compared to $119.9 million for Q1 2012. Non-GAAP research and development (R&D) expenses for Q1 2013 were $66.4 million, compared to $42.1 million for Q1 2012. Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for Q1 2013 were $97.9 million, compared to $77.9 million for Q1 2012. First Quarter 2013 GAAP Financial Results: Alexion reported GAAP net income of $82.2 million, or $0.41 per share, in the first quarter of 2013, compared to GAAP net income of $45.4 million, or $0.23 per share, in the first quarter of 2012. On a GAAP basis, operating expenses for Q1 2013 were $186.7 million, compared to $146.4 million for Q1 2012. GAAP R&D expenses for Q1 2013 were $74.5 million, compared to $45.4 million for Q1 2012. GAAP SG&A expenses were $108.8 million for Q1 2013, compared to $87.2 million for Q1 2012. Balance Sheet: As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $1.02 billion in cash and cash equivalents compared to $989.5 million at December 31, 2012. Research and Development Progress: Alexion currently has development programs underway with its five highly innovative therapeutic candidates: eculizumab (Soliris) and four additional novel therapeutic candidates beyond eculizumab that have the potential to become first-in-class therapies for patients with other severe and ultra-rare disorders. Ultra-Rare Disease Programs With Eculizumab *Neurology: NMO - Alexion is preparing to commence what it expects to be a single Company-sponsored, multi-national, placebo-controlled, registration trial in relapsing neuromyelitis optica (NMO). *Neurology: MG – Alexion is also preparing to commence what it expects to be a single Company-sponsored, multi-national, placebo-controlled, registration trial in severe refractory myasthenia gravis (MG). *Nephrology: Kidney Transplant – Enrollment has now been completed in the Company-sponsored, multi-national deceased-donor kidney transplant trial in patients at elevated risk of antibody mediated rejection (AMR). Enrollment in the Company-sponsored, multi-national living-donor kidney transplant trial in patients at elevated risk of AMR is on-going. Alexion is also expanding its kidney transplant program to include a delayed-graft function (DGF) clinical trial. *Nephrology: STEC-HUS – The Company is obtaining and analyzing additional longer-term control clinical outcome data from an epidemiologic study in approximately 400 STEC-HUS patients who received only best supportive care during the 2011 German epidemic. Ultra-Rare Disease Programs with Highly Innovative Therapeutics Beyond Eculizumab *Asfotase Alfa: Alexion completed enrollment in a retrospective natural history study in infants with hypophosphatasia (HPP), an ultra-rare, inherited and life-threatening metabolic disease. *cPMP Replacement Therapy: Alexion is developing a cPMP replacement therapy for the treatment of patients with Molybdenum Cofactor Deficiency Type A (MoCD), a severe, ultra-rare and genetic metabolic disorder that is fatal in newborns. Alexion has commenced a retrospective cPMP study in MoCD patients and a study with the Company's synthetic cPMP is planned. *ALXN1102/1103: Enrollment continues in a Phase I study to characterize the mechanism of action and develop initial safety data for ALXN1102 and ALXN1103, intravenous and subcutaneous versions, respectively, of one of Alexion's novel complement inhibitors. *ALXN1007: Alexion has completed dosing in a single-dose Phase I study of ALXN1007, a novel anti-inflammatory antibody, to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of this therapeutic candidate in healthy volunteers. The Company expects to meet with regulators to discuss a multi-dose Phase I study. 2013 Financial Guidance: Alexion today announced that it is raising its 2013 revenue guidance from the previous range of $1.490 to $1.505 billion, now to the higher range of $1.505 to $1.520 billion. The upward revision reflects continued global growth of Soliris in PNH and growth from the ongoing launch of Soliris in aHUS. Guidance for 2013 non-GAAP earnings per share is also being raised, from the previous range of $2.82 to $2.92, now to the higher range of $2.87 to $2.97 per share. Alexion is reiterating all other items of the 2013 financial guidance provided in the Company's press release of February 14, 2013.

About Soliris: Soliris is a first-in-class terminal complement inhibitor developed from the laboratory through regulatory approval and commercialization by Alexion. Soliris is approved in the US, European Union, Japan and other countries as the first and only treatment for patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a debilitating, ultra-rare and life-threatening blood disorder, characterized by complement-mediated hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells). Soliris is indicated to reduce hemolysis. Soliris is also approved in the US and the European Union as the first and only treatment for patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), a debilitating, ultra-rare and life-threatening genetic disorder characterized by complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy, or TMA (blood clots in small vessels). Soliris is indicated to inhibit complement-mediated TMA. The effectiveness of Soliris in aHUS is based on the effects on TMA and renal function. Prospective clinical trials in additional patients are ongoing to confirm the benefit of Soliris in patients with aHUS. Soliris is not indicated for the treatment of patients with Shiga toxin E. coli related hemolytic uremic syndrome (STEC-HUS). For the breakthrough innovation in complement inhibition, Alexion and Soliris have received the pharmaceutical industry's highest honors: the 2008 Prix Galien USA Award for Best Biotechnology Product with broad implications for future biomedical research and the 2009 Prix Galien France Award in the category of Drugs for Rare Diseases. More information including the full prescribing information on Soliris is available at www.soliris.net. About Alexion: Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on serving patients with severe and ultra-rare disorders through the innovation, development and commercialization of life-transforming therapeutic products. Alexion is the global leader in complement inhibition and has developed and markets Soliris® (eculizumab) as a treatment for patients with PNH and aHUS, two debilitating, ultra-rare and life-threatening disorders caused by chronic uncontrolled complement activation. Soliris is currently approved in more than 40 countries for the treatment of PNH, and in the United States and European Union for the treatment of aHUS. Alexion is evaluating other potential indications for Soliris and is developing four other highly innovative biotechnology product candidates, which are being investigated across nine severe and ultra-rare disorders beyond PNH and aHUS. This press release and further information about Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. can be found at: www.alexionpharma.com. [ALXN-E] This news release contains forward-looking statements, including statements related to guidance regarding anticipated financial results for 2013, assessment of the Company's financial position and commercialization efforts, medical benefits and commercial potential for Soliris for PNH and aHUS and other potential indications, expansion of clinical and commercial operations to additional countries, medical and commercial potential of Alexion's complement-inhibition technology and other technologies, plans for clinical programs for each of our product candidates and progress in developing commercial infrastructure. Forward-looking statements are subject to factors that may cause Alexion's results and plans to differ from those expected, including for example, decisions of regulatory authorities regarding marketing approval or material limitations on the marketing of Soliris for PNH and aHUS and other potential indications, delays in arranging satisfactory manufacturing capabilities and establishing commercial infrastructure, failure to satisfactorily address the issues raised by the FDA in the Warning Letter recently disclosed by Alexion, the possibility that results of clinical trials are not predictive of safety and efficacy results of Soliris in broader patient populations in the disease studied or other diseases, the risk that acquisitions will not result in short-term or long-term benefits, the possibility that current results of commercialization are not predictive of future rates of adoption of Soliris in PNH, aHUS or other diseases, the risk that third parties will not agree to license any necessary intellectual property to Alexion on reasonable terms or at all, the risk that third party payors (including governmental agencies) will not reimburse or continue to reimburse for the use of Soliris at acceptable rates or at all, the risk that estimates regarding the number of patients with PNH, aHUS or other disorders are inaccurate, and a variety of other risks set forth from time to time in Alexion's filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to the risks discussed in Alexion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2012 and in our other filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Alexion does not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, except when a duty arises under law. In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, this news release also contains non-GAAP financial measures that Alexion believes, when considered together with the GAAP information, provide investors and management with supplemental information relating to performance, trends and prospects that promote a more complete understanding of our operating results and financial position during different periods. The non-GAAP results exclude the impact of the following GAAP items: the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, taxes related to acquisition structuring, intangible asset impairments, upfront and milestone payments related to licensing and collaboration agreements, and non-cash taxes. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures.

Speaker Boehner Includes One-Year Extension of Farm Bill in Disaster Relief Bill
Closing the Summer Hunger Gap June 30
The Hidden SDG June 26
Washington, DC, July 30, 2012
The House of Representatives is expected to vote this week on Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) disaster relief bill that includes a one-year extension of the farm bill. The bill offsets disaster payments with cuts to direct payments and protects funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) and international food aid.
"We welcome Speaker Boehner's proposal to protect nutrition and food aid programs in the disaster relief bill," said Rev. David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World. "Unlike other proposals we've seen from the House, this bill does not cut one dime from SNAP or international food aid. Given the economic realities families are facing across the United States and around the world, protecting these programs is a must."
SNAP and international food aid provide a critical lifeline to the millions of families who continue to struggle to put food on the table. More than 46 million Americans currently benefit from SNAP; an estimated 46.2 million Americans currently live under the official U.S. poverty rate of $22,314 for a family of four. Last year, international food aid provided emergency food assistance to more than 66 million people around the world.
The current farm bill, passed in 2008 after several short-term extensions, is set to expire this September. Speaker Boehner's proposal will extend the farm bill through September 30, 2013. The bill will likely go to the House floor for a vote this week as Congress works to provide farmers and ranchers affected by this summer's devastating drought a disaster relief plan before going home for August recess.
"I would prefer a full reauthorization that maintains strong funding for SNAP and international food aid while making necessary reforms to our nation's food and farm policies," added Beckmann. "Still, we are grateful for a proposal that maintains a circle of protection."
This bill is a step forward, though Bread for the World continues to push for a longer-term reauthorization that reforms U.S. food and farm policy in a way that strengthens SNAP and protects and improves international food aid. Bread for the World urges Congress to maintain the circle of protection around programs for hungry and poor people as the farm bill reauthorization process moves forward.

(un)curryThis to avoid [].slice.call, obj.fn.bind(obj), that=this
Oneself is a way to build generic functions: functions that take this as the first parameter.
So instead of writing:
Arrayprototypeslicearguments 1;
you can create a generic function:
var slice = oneselfArrayprototypeslice;slicearguments 1
As a convenenience,
oneself provides all
Array methods
as generic functions under
oneself.array, along with functions
regexp and
var slice = oneselfarrayslice;slicearguments 1 var map = oneselfarraymap getFullYear = oneselfdategetFullYear;listEqual map2011 3 15 2012 5 25 getFullYear 2011 2012;
If desired, you can shim Array methods and some implementations already do this.
oneselfarrayshim;oneselfstringshim; listEqual Arraymap'eB' 'CF' StringtoLowerCase 'eb' 'cf';
As shown above, generic functions are useful to map methods over
collections of objects.
oneself also provides placeholder functions
that allow you to map methods with specified arguments. This are named
the same as the methods, with a
_ suffix.
listEqual map// /g$/ /o/ /o$/ oneselfregexptest_'dog' true true true false;
You can create generic functions from any object.
thisx = x; thisy = y; return x y; return '('+thisx+', '+thisy+')'; ; return 'Point '+thistoString; ; return thisx + x thisy+y; ; var p1 = point12; var describePoint = oneselfPointprototypedescribe; equaldescribePointp1 p1describe;
As well as placeholder functions:
var add1_1 = oneselfPointprototypeadd_11;equalsadd1_1p1 point2 3;
Although it might be better to shim your objects. This
will create generic functions for all enumerable methods
along with
oneselfshimPoint; listEqual mapmappoint12 point34 Pointadd_10 20 PointtoString '(11, 22)' '(13, 24)';
Making a generic function from a prototype is also called
uncurryThis, described here.
uncurryThis is also available under
and the companion
curryThis is called
curryThis can be used to avoid
that = this:
var x = b: 'hi' return thisb+' '+w+'!'; a: oneselfcurry setTimeout cbselfb; 100; ; xa{};

Restaurant Granada: Cheap eat, friendly place
One of the cheaper and simpler places we ate at in Chaouen was this one, basic but cheerful. The cook/owner appears to be a bit of a character and meals are prepared at a counter to one side, so you can watch what's going on.
The restaurant itself just consists of two small rooms, nothing flash but actually fairly cosy with about 4 or 5 tables. I ate here for lunch and had the usual omelette, saving a tagine for the evening meal! Menu likewise is fairly short and contains the usual suspects, no surprises.
Favorite Dish: While food here is rather cheap, the omelette was correspondingly a bit on the small side. Tagines are around 18 dh, omelette very cheap at 8 dh. Soft drinks 6dh, though you pay separately for bread at 2dh.
As a fairly cheap but cheerful eatery, this is fine for lunch or a no frills evening meal.

La Lampe Magique: Paying for atmosphere over food
This restaurant is one of the more expensive in town. The major plus point to this place is the view of the main square, although the restaurant itself has rather nice surrounds. While the terrace overlooks the square, the entrance is around the back of the building, clearly signposted. La Lampe is set over three floors, painted in deep blues, mirroring the blue streets of Chaouen.
After 8pm the place fills up a bit more, otherwise it's a little bit on the empty side. The Moroccan feel to the place is lost a bit on the odd music that is piped through. Service is very good, we were served by a very smiley but quiet waiter. The food also came out fairly fast.
Pity that the tables are too low for the dining chairs that you're seated on, because it means your stopping to eat your meal, a bit bad for your back if your lanky like me.
Favorite Dish: We had the 'menu completo' of three courses for 75 dh. Some of the dishes, those with shrimp, were unavailable. I had a tagine of meat (lamb) with prunes. This came with much less in the way of accompanying stewed veg than I'd had in other places and was nothing too impressive. 'Pastilla', a Moroccan specialty of chicken in a pastry square with icing sugar over it and a hint of cinammon, got the thumbs up.
The best thing here actually was the Moroccan soup, which we both had and was one of the better that I had while in Morocco. Nice and spicy.
The desserts are a little dull, although I enjoyed my crepe with chocolate. All in all, a safe tourist bet if you don't mind paying a little more, but in comparison to Restaurant Tissemlal which is round the corner and at the same price, but much tastier and better value.

Restaurant Ibiza: Full marks for service and food!
While originally looking for 'Restaurant Chefchaouen' featured in LP, we found this nice place right next door, that seemed a little newer, a little younger, just a bit more interesting.
This place has a funky interior for you to lounge around on, with three sections for you to eat your meal by candlelight in the evenings. We ate here on different days and the food was consistently good quality and value for both lunch and dinner.
The place seems to be a family affair with two teenage lads working the tables and cooking if mother isn't around. They really worked rather hard one night in particular, but nevertheless were really polite and friendly. In particular one ran out to get me cigarettes when I asked where the nearest kiosk was, which was totally unexpected and well beyond the call of duty.
Oh, and some good Arabic pop playing too!
Favorite Dish: As well as being really friendly, the food was also notably tasty. The chicken brochettes at 30dh were so nicely marinated that both of us actually commented on them and came with delicious home-made chips, lovely rice and great bread too in fact.
Moroccan salad was also great, both to look at and to eat, with a ratatouille style sauce and local goat's cheese. Coffee was good, as was a mint tea that we were given for free on our first visit.

Restaurant Tissemlal: Best of the more expensive options
This is the second of the two more expensive tourist aimed restaurant options in the Medina, the other being La Lampe Magique and I'd say that this is streets ahead. While our first impression was that it lacked atmosphere due to the cold glare of energy saving lightbulbs, the comfy seating and decidedly smokey at times) open fire downstairs changed out initial view. The guidebook notes that this place is 'enchanting' which would be a bit over the top but it is a nice option for a more special meal.
The restaurant is basically set around an enclosed and roofed internal courtyard. Staff were polite and friendly enough. We were grateful to them as we'd initially gone to sit upstairs but they found better seats downstairs for us without us even asking.
In the background is a tape of Andaluz guitar music. The restaurant is probably well aware that it has a decent reputation, as a framed article from Conde Nast Traveller attests but it doesn't seem to be sitting on its laurels.
Favorite Dish: We went for the 'menu completo', three courses at 75 dh. Plenty of bread and olives arrived and then we both started the meal with a warming Moroccan soup. Then I had a really tasty, sizzling meat ball tagine with egg in a rich tomato sauce. Andrew had a meat tagine which wasn't quite as special but still passed muster.
Desserts were tastier and more imaginative than most menus. Fresh pomegranate and honey went down refreshingly well on a full stomach, while the tarte limon, basically cheesecake, was lovely, rich and with hints of the goat's cheese the area is known for.
This place is good value for a restaurant in its class and I'd recommend a visit. Service is included automatically with a 5 percent addition to your bill. Total for two people including soft drinks was 174 dh.

Restaurant Al-Wiam: One to Avoid!
This 'restaurant', basically one room with about 5 tables between the Hotel Andaluz and the Hotel Castellana/hammam should be avoided. They obviously hope to catch tourists from these hostals. We popped in just to go somewhere different as we were running out of new eating options.
We each had an omelette here for lunch, which would have cost us maybe 15 dh in any other restaurant in Chaouen. Not only was the girl serving us generally on the rude side, having slammed up the music volume to 'Hotel California' as soon as we walked in and then getting me to change the cd for her with no thanks at all, but the service the poorest and the bread the stalest that I had in Morocco.
Worst of all though was that we were charged for a 'menu completo'. This would normally mean that we'd had 3 courses, but we'd only had one. Basically she took the proverbial and ripped us off. After trying for a few moments to point out that we'd not actually asked for or eaten a complete menu, we gave up, paid and walked away muttering under our breath.
In fairness, there was just something about the place anyway (we were the only people in there) that I'd not liked from the start so I should have trusted my instincts. In the end I managed to get it in perspective, we were 'ripped' off to the tune of maybe 25 dh each, which in the grand scheme isn't so much, but it's never nice to be treated like that.
Favorite Dish: Interestingly I wrote in my little VT notebook when we sat down that the service was the miserable side of disinterested, so I guess no surprise that this place was not a good experience. It also had a wierd kind of stone 'grotto' going on at the back wall, as if it had been built into the rock. Just plain odd.
There was nothing good about this place. The bread was stale, the omelette took ages and was very greasy, drinks arrived after the meal. Oh yeah, and I think I mentioned she charged us over twice the normal price?

not sure maybe Al Kashbah: A clean enough cheap enough good enough place
If you are in Plaza Uta el -hamman with your back to the Al Kasbah take the first little street to your left, right there on the right hand side you will see a restaurant with tables outside and some Arabic material covered 'booths'. you know if you have got the right place if you walk in and see a shoe smith to your right.
The menu wasn't more expensive than other places though the food was a little better than the tourist trap places on the square. The service was good too and what is even better, you don't get ill afterwards!!!!!
Another thing I really liked were the clean western toilets with paper and nice smelling pink soap!
There are several photos attached of the food, tea, place and er... us too!
Favorite Dish: The menu is the SAME as all the other restaurants: Couscous or tagine of chicken, lamb, fish or veggies.

Bar Oumou Rabie: Chefchaouen's hustler bar
Bar Oumou Rabie is one of only three outlets which serve alcohol in Chefchaouen, it's also a restaurant and the food is actually very good, but the alcohol is expensive in relation to prices charged in other regions of Morocco, a small 25cl bottle of Flag beer is Dh23, a bottle of wine is Dh150, the label variety of beer and wine is abysmal........
The system for paying for drinks is the European one, you pay at the conclusion of your dinner or drinking session, this gives hustlers the opportunity to approach a foreigner, engage in friendly conversation, order a drink, chat a bit more then leave, the hapless tourist is then obliged to pay for his "friend's" drink, an old Moroccan trick, but the old ones work best!
This year, I noticed the three waiters were also on the hustle, tapas are served and supposed to be free, complimentary, in relation to how many drinks the customer consumes, but the waiters ask the customer to specify exactly what tapas are desired, then expect a tip of Dh15 or more, for "personalised service".
One waiter, Youssef, has been relegated to the lower bar salon, by the boss, because of his personal agenda, overcharging customers on the final bill in the upstairs restaurant, and pocketing the extra cash, the other two, one is Jamal and the other tall thin one whose name escapes me are also keen to extract extra tips in this manner. The boss is rather helpless to address this problem, because these three waiters are very long service employees, and getting rid of them would be difficult.
I noticed that the few European customers who frequented the bar, ordered a carry-out to drink at their home/hotel, carry-outs are readily available, the waiters, observing this, start to fidget about in irritation, knowing they can't hustle any self-styled tip agenda.
So, having been ripped off here myself, my advice is to drink in the Chaouen Atlas bar or nightclub, which is what I did this year, or the alternative Hotel Parador Bar, which was almost deserted, no foreign tourists equals no money for the bars and their employees.
Frankly, this year I was glad to get back to "civilisation"......Tangier!
Favorite Dish: I didn't have a favourite dish, but the food is generally good.

Bab Kasba: The blue one
It is one of the many restaurants on the Uta el- Hammam square where the mosque is.
This one caught my eye as it was decorated with my favourite material which is vibrant stripy blue.
The menu and prices were the average: 30 dm a dish for cous cous or tagines.
On the down side you have to use the public toilets which are across the square (this goes for all the restaurants in the plaza) and it is filled with naughty cats that jump up beside you.
On the plus side we didn't get ill after eating there.
Favorite Dish: The chicken tagine and the beef cous cous were good although the other tagine we got was a bit bland.
- Food and Dining
Aladin and Casa Hassan: Up-market in Choauen
The two most expensive a nice looking restaurants in chaouen are Aladin and Casa Hassan.
Aladin is on Plaza Utal el-Hammam and is directly in front of the Kasbah. It has serveral floors and a large out door terrace at the top. It is nicely decorated and clean looking.
The menu was something like 80 dm (8 euros) and 45dm (4.5dm) for each dish. This is slightly more expensive than a 60-70 dm average in other places for a menu and 30 for each dish.
Casa Hassan is just round the corner to the left if you are looking at Aladin. The restaurant looks nice and big and the food looked good too. The prices are about the same as the Aladin.
Favorite Dish: As with all other places you can choose from tajines and couscous of chicken, vegetable, lamb, beef or fish.
- Food and Dining
Restaurant Chefchouen: Friendly, Nice, and Cheap
The owner's son of our hotel took us to this restaurant which is on the road leading down from the Parador hotel.
It was nicely decorated and the food was OK although I don't recommend the Chefchouen couscous which was a bit bland and sparse on ingredients (couscous,onions, cinnamon and milk which you can add in!). It seemed clean enough and we didn't get ill afterwards which is a great sign!
I liked the little booth type areas which give you relative privacy.
Favorite Dish: I enjoyed the Tajin Kefta which is a meat dish. It is basically little flavoured meat patties in a tomato sauce.

Restaurant Casa Hassan: With terrace on the top
This restaurant offers good local food and the terrace on the top of the building gives good views of the town. Visit the travelogue called "other views of the Medina" to have a look at the pics (the last two ones).
There are rooms too.

The good taste
This is one of the resturants in Outa Al-Hammam area. A meal should cost less than 40 DH. Food was good and the menu has the typical coscus, Tagine and the Salads. It is a nice place to sit relax andf watch people.

Attempting to master the humble brag...
The thing about online dating is that you are supposed to brag about yourself without sounding like a liar or an ego maniac so my best version of that is: I am kind of funny, slightly clever, and cute as a button. Ask anyone. I went to college in Lubbock at Texas Tech University where I graduated with a degree in Advertising. After I moved to Dallas, I switched career paths and now I work at a commercial insurance company. My typical day goes something like this. I get up, spend about 20 minutes getting myself together (not a morning person by the way) and then head out for work. On a good morning I'll be able to catch some radio station playing "Magic Man" by Heart to really get my blood pumping. I spend 8 hours at work being awesome. On the drive home, hopefully I'lll get a good wind-down song like "It's Now or Never" by Elvis to get me through the rush hour traffic. Once at home, I'll start cooking dinner for me and sometimes my sisters, and whoever else has decided to stop by tonight. While making dinner, I'll crank up something by George Strait or Willie Nelson. My favorite meal to make (and eat) is my Chicken Cacciatore. After dinner, I'll try to convince everyone to join me in a board game or watching a Mavericks or Rangers game. I am looking for a man to share my life with. I'd like someone that I can sit down and watch a ball game with, go to the movies with, and gets excited about Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. My ideal guy is somewhere between Gomez Addams and the Brawny man (the old school one with the mustache): masculine, quirky, and occasionally romantic. Mostly, I'm looking for someone who I can have a good time with regardless of what we are doing.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jonathan Dwyer had two great blitz pickups and two nice runs Sunday night against the Chicago Bears, but he could have had another big one in the game as well.
Below is yet another example of Dwyer's inability to read blocks as he consistently leaves yards out on the field. It is getting tiring pointing these out.
On first and ten from the Steelers own 41 yard-line, Dwyer takes a delayed handoff from Ben Roethlisberger and runs left for one yard.
As you can see in both of the still shots and animated gifs, Dwyer has a huge lane to his right that he misses. There are six Bears defenders trapped in the middle of the field and no defensive backs in sight.
The Steelers were only down seven points at the time and this was the first play of the fourth quarter. If Dwyer reads this right, he goes for at least ten yards and possibly more as he will get a rematch with safety Chris Conte, who he punished earlier in the game.
Dwyer had 39 yards rushing in the game on 12 carries. One of those 12 carries went for 25 yards and one other went for 11 yards, which was perhaps his best read and run in sometime. If you do the math, you will see that Dwyer's 10 other runs totaled 3 yards.
A running back can't consistently leave yards like this on the field.
Can't blame the offensive line for that one…
that is right that was wide open but he needs to read those holes
He does, but he is still the best healthy back we have when you consider blocking, etc. as well.
Dwyer does not have a lot of game experience at the colligate level or in the pros. I don't know what Bell is capable of at this level and neither does anybody else. I believe Dwyer has more potential as a feature running back than anyone else who has participated this season. What he needs is repetitions and coaching during film study. The Steelers just keep interchanging personnel while giving none a chance to develop and succeed. Felix Jones is really a third down back who was drafted high by Jerry Jones really because he played for Arkansas, Jerry's Alma Mater. The running back position needs some stability and you don't get that by using the continuous carousel method.
You Guy's kill me another Dwyer Hater thread. Anyone can be a Tuesday
night RB. If you all knew anything about Football you will notice that a
running play is determined by the direction the quarter back opens up for the
hand off. This play was directed to the Left not to the right. Dwyer Right Hand
was on top to receive the hand off. The play was to the Left. He ran the
play as called. Now if he ran to the Right as you're suggesting he would have
been stopped for no gain. The Coaches would have been pissed because he would not have executed the play as called. By the way if you noticed the tackle was not even engaged with the blitzing LB/DE coming in on the right. By the time Dwyer got the hand off and went around the QB to this so called huge lane, the huge lane would have been closed anyway.
This why you write this stupid crap, always looking for anything negative to post on Dwyer., Is this all you could come up with. Do you all hate him that
much? You don't have to answer I already know the answer.
This is so Senseless!!!
I hope Bell has better vision. If he does things may just start to click…
It's true the play was designed to go where Dwyer went but the cutback is a great weapon for any RB. He would have needed to see it instantly because of the penetration up the middle.
Take your blinders off, junior.
The cutback is a great weapon and I have seen Dwyer use it many times last year. But when you are consistently Scrutinize in everything you do especially by coaches and constantly looking over you shoulder. you do what your told do do. it takes away from the creativity of a RB.
Blinders watch the Clip. I don't agree with you so I have blinders on I be to differ.
Agreed i feel the same with the ol thats why you hear the saying jack of all trades master of none i beleive they had the right idea swiching the ol positions for flexiblity due to all the injuries last season but with the wrong personell its a tricky situatation like damned if we don't damned if we do.
Well if you watch the gif, Adams was actually being bull rushed right into where that "hole" was. From Dwyer's point of view, especially AFTER he had the ball in his hands and could run, not milliseconds before he even totally had the ball, that wouldn't have been a very appealing direction to run. Watch that "hole" close after Dwyer gets the handoff. This is just dumb. He's a person, not a supercomputer, nobody could diagnose that particular cutback option at full game speed. It's a lot easier to do with the still photographs in front of you. If Adams hadn't been manhandled right into that lane, maybe Dwyer would have run that way.
Keep apologizing for him. Anybody can see the cutback lane was there for him. Good backs see it and hit it.
I understand where you are coming from, and you have an astute observation there, but a tenured running back will make that adjustment on the fly. Keep in mind, this was just one of many plays that could have gone for better yardage, and Dwyer isn't the only one missing these opportunities.
Thr eis your inside ZBS system at work.. Yick. Anyway, Adams wasn't the only fail on the play. Will Johnson didn't exactly get a real good block there either.
Nope. I don't agree with this at all. Sure, there's a lane there at the start of the play, but he would've had to make a hard cut against the grain, and as #99 Shea McClellin is tied up with Mike Adams in the backfield you can see #55 Lance Briggs directly behind him being assisted in that direction with a block by Heath Miller. I guarantee if Dwyer did what you suggested he woulda met Briggs head on and been stopped for a 3-4 yard loss, unless he breaks a head on tackle by Briggs, but that's highly doubtful considering Briggs woulda been almost full speed and Dwyer woulda been coming off a hard cut against the grain. Even in your still photo, where you show the lane, Roethlisberger is completely blocking Dwyer's vision of that hole. You wanna blame someone on this play then blame the play designer. There's a free LB coming at Dwyer with no one to block him.
I agree, Dwyer has a tendency to miss some holes, but I don't believe he would have been able to cut back on this play. Maybe Ben shoulda audibled to the other side, since the Bears defense seems to know that the play is coming to the left side. That's why that hole is there in the first place.
Ya know what! This play woulda been a nice run if DeCastro had pulled to the left. Look at the middle of the line. They're completely bunched up, and DeCastro is double teaming the DT, #98, with Velasco. Pointless. But, if DeCastro pulls, then he takes out that free LB, #50, and if Dwyer breaks it outside he would only have to deal with Sanders man, #38, and it mighta been a nice run.
The double team is by design to create a cutback lane. This is an inside zone play. Why is that so hard for you people to understand? The play has options for the running back.
Looks to me like the cut back should of happened after he got past the Adams/Miller block at the 39 yard line not before their blocks. But even then it would take a Barry Sanders type move to accomplish that and Dwyer being a big back isn't going to have that quick a move or feet to do anymore than what he did on this play.
For the idiot who put this on here ,if you look closely and if you ever played running back at this level you only have 0ne second to react to which ever hole is called for in the huddle. Dwyer went to the hole called for in the huddle and by your own snap shot above you can see Dwyers vision was blocked by Ben handing the ball off to him so he didnt see the hole,by the time ben hands the ball off to him the so called hole is blocked by that lineman being pushed back deep into the backfield ,so he made the right decision! If he did take that hole you mentioned and didnt make it through,his offensive coach would have asked him why didnt he take the hole called out in the huddle! Only a established running back who has playing time and lots of yards under his name wouldnt get questioned! 12 rushes REALLY are you kinding me,with this O-Line Dwyer would consistently need 25 rushes a game to know the tendencies of the O-Line! IF YOU EVER REALLY PLAYED AT THIS LEVEL YOU WOULD KNOW THIS! Also look at last years games when he did get over 20 rushes a game! What did he do?
Now, now take it easy. Breathe in, breathe out. You coulda just mentioned that in the original post. Still, I think Briggs woulda stopped the cutback.
A quick and decisive cut back by Dwyer would've put that LB/DE in an unfavorable arm-tackling position, and if he is half as good as you're wishing him to be he would've ran through that arm-tackle. He would've seen the lane if he wasn't staring down the left side during the delayed hand-off. Pointing out a player's flaw(s) isn't hate, it's constructive criticism.. or that's how I read the matter on hand.
I'm not sure Dwyer could have seen that hole through Ben, by the time the ball is handed off, one of the Steelers O-linemen is being pushed into that lane, I think that forced Dwyer to run to his left even if he had wanted to cut right.
he could have gotten 12-15, C'mon Bell
I think if Dwyer would have gone to his right, Peppers might have beat Gilbert and taken him down for a 5 yard loss. Also, this is only one play. Even Adrian Peterspn will make a bad read every now and then.
enz1ey is exactly right. In fact, both of your still shots clearly illustrate that Dwyer doesn't even have the ball yet, and Ben is blocking Dwyer's view of this "lane" anyway. By the time Dwyer gets the ball and gets clear of Ben, the blocker has been pushed back and is between Dwyer and that "lane".
If anything, there might have been a small opportunity to cut to his right AFTER he gets past the two defenders in the backfield, just before he gets to the 40 yard line. But I have the chance to watch the play over and over again, from the sky, so I'm not going to crucify Dwyer over that. I'm sure we could second guess almost every play in every game.
Damn.. that's a HOLE
I find it funny that ONLY DWYER seems to be scrutinized for not being perfect. We never see any GIF's on Jones or Redman yet you are unbiased.
OMG I remember that play vividly! I was flipping shit when I saw it as Dwyer had nothing but daylight in front of him. I just don't understand how you can miss a hole that damn big. Geez Albert Haynesworth could have gotten his big behind through that hole.
Yes there is a big hole there but ONLY if you can get through the small opening between the DT and DE. Foster is blown back into the backfield by the DT forcing Dwyer left. This could easily have been a 3 or 4 yard loss to the right as another has pointed out.
Dwyer has to see that cutback lane. Hole was there for Dwyer. A good running back would jump cut that and get positive yards.
Tomlins doghouse approach may have affected both Redman and Dwyers style of play. They are more concerned with ball control than running with their styles that made them NFL backs. I would like to point out something that no one mentioned in this gif. Both sides have nice arguments and valid points. The play was designed to go to the left and Dave points out the lane on the right. Now, this may be true that Ben blocked his vision once he committed to the left, but once he got to the line, there is a very nice hole if he would have followed Heath's backside. Dwyer just puts his head into the pyle and tries for an extra yard, when he should have cut to his right and followed Heath. Brown also needs to carry out his blocking assignments longer than just a bump.
And if he did squeek by those two, #50, unblocked, surely meets him at LOS. There was no play there. The play was left, seven in the box vs 6 blockers, and if Will Johnson does a better job on #58 there's a three to five yard gain.
Look at it again. the 2 middle backers could have easily filled the right side if he had chose to leave the play.
Why because a hole opened away from the play.?
You have blinders on follow the fullback and you will see.
That's one of the biggest knocks on him coming out of college.
A. Brown did a poor job of blocking and both Safeties are moving up once they see it's a run so maybe a few more yards had he cut it to the right.
I love your blog, and you're usually spot on. This is not a great example of Dwyer's inconsistency with reading the blocks. 1. Ben clearly cut off that view of the lane. 2. Adams was pushed 2 yards into the backfield by the time Dwyer got the ball. 3. had he managed to turn into Barry Sanders and made that cut behind Adams being blown up…the tackle would have likely gone for minus yards. Dwyer has no freedom to deviate from the original play. He is pulled and/or cut for most mistakes he makes. Not going to get positive yards with your run-to tackle 2 yards in the backfield. Also, as inconsistent as Dwyer MAY be, he's certainly more consistent than the OL or any other back we've had on the field. Also, every time he got a decent gain…we'd come back with run after run (early on anyways)…like one good run turns us into a run dominant team? People complain about Dwyer…but we really need to temper that with these slow developing, ill-timed play calls behind an OL that needs time to gel (and Adams and Gilbert need to switch back sides…that move in the preseason was premature).
I think you're on to something. Ben is a fairly small QB…easy to see that cutback with little Ben standing there and your front side Tackle 2-3 yards in the backfield. DAMN YOU DWYER! in all seriousness, while he isn't the greatest back…we have NO ONE else that is as reliable. The best we have is an unproven rookie that seems like he may be rushing back too soon. Lis-Franc is not a quick-healer. Tomlin is tweaking everything on that offense except for the O.C….also, Gilber and Adams need to revert positions…that move was ill conceived. And seriouslys…rotating them with Beachum…who thought THAT was a good idea?
and Briggs would have likely destroyed him. have to remember we tried to run it up the gut against a fairly stout front 7 all night.
I sure hope Bell is half as good as everyone assumes he will be in a real Pro game.
agree, briggs was headed right there…he's much more seasoned and free to work than is Dwyer. Would likely have got Dwyer benched…or cut….again.
there was a front side lineman 2 yards in the backfield during the hand off. that's plain failure.
This sounds much more possible. I can't imagine him making the cut prior to those (2) failed blocks. Right after them, though…he had a shot. I have to agree with you…Tomlin playing favorites/doghouse with a high level of inconsistency doesn't seem to be working. Especially so in the RB situation and recently the rotation at tackle on sunday night. Think he'll bring in an O.C. to rotate series? Or is that kind of decision only up to Art II these days?
I have a vastly different memory of how you're supposed to block the zone. Didn't look like it to me. Could have also been due to the (2) near complete whifs on the front side. By most accounts, folks are saying we have all but abandoned the Zone block…running maybe 1 or 2 a game? Not sure what is up with that though?
I think Tomlin playing favorites/doghouse affects the entire team, at least the offensive unit as a whole. The players are the problem. The O.C. and an owner that want to force a certain style of play instead of win are the problems, imo. The players all need time to gel and/or heal. The playcalling has to adjust to our current personnel. Art II needs to take his decrees off the table. I don't want to get back to Steeler roots. The 30's-60's were not entertaining!
This approach Tomlin is taking has players walking on eggshells rather than boosting their confidence. They are now heavily concentrating on not making mistakes, rather than relying on their talent that got them there in the first place.
AS VINCE LOMBARDI TAUGHT, run TO dAY LIGHT, it is called seeing the field and cutting back. even though it was not zone blocking, the whole premise of the scheme is cut back running any time if the hole is there, not just because a zone scheme has been called.
couldn't have said it any better myself (if that's a surprise!).
No, because a truck could have drove through that hole…
If our running backs can't out run a dl or lb to a hole, we need better rbs.
Did you notice Dwyers body language after the big run to the right? Absolutely pumped…then, turned around and looked at a Tomlin who stood emotionless..Dwyer just proceeded calmly to the huddle. (of course, they ran it 2-3 times up the guy right after that – smart move too!)
Dwyer is not making that cut unless he's a bionic man. At full speed, these athletes travel 10 yards in 1 second. By the time he takes 1 step after getting the ball, that hole is no longer there. On the other hand if Sanders blocks better, there could be space on the outside left.
Granted all the RB's are running a little scared these days because Tomlin has them on a short leash, but you are incorrect this time. In the pre-season, Dwyer was running differently, trying to show some speed instead of hammering people like he did last year when he got out in the open. Why? Again, because he is fighting for a job, since he knows he is going to get yanked at the drop of a hat.
Personally, I think Ben should get rid of the ball much quicker on most occasions. The Steelers would then be able to let loose with their defense if they can keep the game close. I believe that is the biggest problem. Other QB's do so when their O-line is having a bad game and the best even find a way to score 20-30 points under less than ideal circumstances. Ben is going bananas on almost every play, again trying to do too much.
I agree, but most of those play designs are not meant for a quick hitting run or pass. deep routes with double moves, play fake after play fake, etc. Those don't help out a young OL that is still trying to gel.
Dwyer's = Willie Parker's vision without Willie Parker speed.
Not just a cutback lane, a cutback super highway. Arian Foster makes that run into a 50 yard gain.
if a running back not being able to out run a LB to a hole makes them insufficient…go ahead and mark them all down for insufficient…i mean across the league too. Plenty of solid backs get beat to the hole from time to time…especially when they have an offensive tackle 2-3 yards in the backfield. This has no bearing here, imo. Also, no one is sayin Dwyer is the best RB in the league…just not the door mat that Tomlin is trying to make him into.
Good point. Thank you. I'm just saying I think Ben has underperformed to say the least. I think he will do better in the future and some of the successful "Dink and Dunk" strategies last year worked very, very well. They moved the football, were number 1 in 3rd down coversions through 9 games last year, still dominated the clock…. the only problem was their lack of success in the red zone. Hopefully the big TE's, Will Johnson, Moye or some combination can help them improve if they are to be successful some time this year.
Bottom line: Dwyer is not the biggest problem right now.
No doubt. Would like to see him stand up and lead more in the face of his frustration with the coaching staff decisions. And he needs to find a way to shake the turnovers.
This particular has never worked for the Steelers. Watch it closely Ben brings the ball back to Dwyer who is standing still 7 yards deep in the backfield when Dwyer finally gets the ball everyone else is half way back to him with 2 LB'S waiting to clean up the mess. I can see how it appears as if Dwyer could get some yards going right but if he would have tried to go right 1 step after taking the handoff away from his blocking this play he would have lost yards. That hole is there before Dwyer has the ball. This play is a lead draw but it is always executed so poorly there no chance here for anything.
That lane was open the entire play. He had time to read it in a delayed hand-off, unless Ben is 50 yards wide as you're suggesting.
I don't know why we are arguing about him hitting that running lane, everyone knows reason he didn't hit it was due to the fact that Dwyer does not have the physical ability to do so, nor the vision, or patience – a good back has patience, speed, acceleration, and vision – all of which Dwyer is lacking.
Look at how any of the tape of Foster, Peterson, or any of the elite backs that run the ball in this league then compare them to Dwyer. Anyone can see he does not have the speed, patience, nor the agility to make the cuts necessary to run in a zone style blocking scheme, much less run the ball period. The only reason he even had the yardage he had last year was more consistent blocking and he had Isaac Redman spelling him and vice versa all of last year.
The real reason (everyone should know) why we followed through on teaching the zone blocking scheme this offseason was due to the fact that we drafted a running back who can run properly in it. (ie : Le'Veon Bell)
Dwyer has had plenty of time to prove himself to this organization, hence his performance plateauing and the obvious fact that Tomlin had seen enough in these past years to let him go.
I personally believe that the running game has suffered because Steelers & Haley completely structured the running game around the fact that we had a agile, powerful running back coming in who could play all 3 downs and catch the ball out of the backfield (and the OL blocking hasn't helped). But the curve ball was when Bell went down in the preseason, I think that changed everything and what we have witnessed is the results of the coaches attempts to adjust to this event in the first three weeks.
Hopefully everything comes to fruition this Sunday and we see a more cohesive offensive line, a better game plan, and better execution. Let's all just hope Bell lives up to his expectations and does not have to go through a massive learning curve starting this Sunday!
the first slide shows ben directly in front of that lane from Dwyer's view. once he has the ball there is a tackle 2-3 yards in the backfield and #55 breaking free as well. I don't think it is as wide open as you say (and of course it remained open..no one was running there). Don't have to be 50 yards wide to disrupt a player's view. It would have been an amazing play to make the cut in time (seems i'm not the one with the lofty expectations of Dwyer…afterall, i'm not saying he is the next Barry Sanders…but he's no Isaac Redman, that's for sure). I don't think he made the wrong decision. Either way, your exaggeration does nothing to further either of our points.
I don't remember ANY knocks on him coming out of college to be honest. Vision seemed to be a plus with him considering his longevity and effectiveness in such a one-dimensional offense. Either way…I think we all better hope he is at least half the back Tomlin seems to think he is. The RB spot doesn't fix this offense. Hopefully we aren't rushing an unhealed rookie into a spot he hasn't truly earned.
so who's delusional? The folks saying this play is not a legit criticism of Dwyer…or the one crazy guy who wants to compare him to Foster?! Here's a clue…Foster is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than any RB we have on our roster….just in case you didn't get the memo by now. Everyone else knew that last year.
And lets all hope Bell isn't handled the way Dwyer has been over his career. It is a sure way to NOT get the most out of a player. Everyone knows Dwyer isn't an AP or Foster…how come everyone thought Redman was?
I am not comparing Dwyer to AP, Foster or anyone else, I am talking about what it entails to be an elite back or great one its been quite obvious that no one we have besides a unproven rookie could possibly fit that mold.
I don't understand what you mean by "handled the way Dwyer has been over his career"? Explain to me what your thought process and what you mean by this statement because I don't understand you.
I believe that Tomlin has handled him equal to his work ethic. Did you want Tomlin to just hand him the starting job when he has consistently put the ball on the ground, last year and this year (preseason). Also constantly showing up overweight or out of shape on a yearly basis since being in the league? I agree on him not being given the starting job when he clearly didn't earn it and Redman had his chance due to his seniority and blew it. Then also had a shot to claim the job and Dwyer is what we thought he was. Redman was a better runner when he was spelling Mendenhall, Dwyer a better runner when Redman was spelling him. (vice versa .. )
I just don't see your point in how "badly" he has been handled, I believe Tomlin was right not to coddle him when Dwyer had done nothing to prove himself worthy or deserve it. Both him and Redman have been proven to not be 3 down backs much less starting ones due to inconsistency and lack of skill, and consistency and talent aren't created from just being fed the rock.
Now do I believe that he could be average RBs successful in the NFL? Yes. But would either Redman / Dwyer be starting running backs and be consistent 1,000 – 1,500 yard rushers? No.
You are in fact comparing Dwyer to elite RB's. Everyone should know that Redman, Dwyer, LSH, Jones are NOT elite rb's. What I'm saying is, everyone gets on Dwyer's case saying he isn't elite….well no one is saying he is…just that he's much better and has some potential to improve than is/does Redman. Redman just stinks.
The doghouse mentality of coaching the RB's. How Redman et. al. are treated compared to Dwyer.
Dwyer never saw the field when he showed up out of shape until last year…and only played last year out of necessity. He showed he was the better RB off the bench by his in game performance in spite of his shape. If he fumbled, he sat. If he missed a block, he sat. The same did not happen in Reman's mistakes.
Knocks on Dwyer that got him fired prior to week 1.
1. Not in shape…he was in shape this year at camp. Clearly put the work in.
2. Can't read the blocks…new system, he left 'extra yards' on the field…at least he was getting SOME yards.
3. Can't hold on to the ball…his career says otherwise and this is really a joke of a basis to stand on for firing him. the rest of the backs on the roster had far more fumbles than Dwyer
4. Money…not true considering (imo) he's better than Red.
5. 3rd down liability…one of the better guys we have on the team at pass blocking and only OK catching out of the backfield.
Those are routinely the reasons they kept him in the doghouse and eventually let him go. Going down the line on all of those comparing them to #1-#3 (excluding injured Bell)…there isn't/wasn't another RB on the roster who did better than him in all of those. Redman was automatically given the keys when Mendenhall went down. I liked Red, but it became clear early on that he wasn't the best on the roster. Redman can't read blocks well, fumbles way more than Dwyer, costs the same, and is hit or miss with pass pro, and OK out of the backfield. Add in the fact that Redman is older and doesn't have much more potential, whereas Dwyer is younger and made a big change in his character around the time he got some touches last year.
I don't think I'm seeing anything that isn't true in terms of Tomlin's handling of the RB situation. He has his favorites and his goats. He is doing it now to the OL (rotating Beachum at tackle…WTF? he's clearly no better than what we have starting). He's proving to be an ineffective motivator of offensive players. I think the, oh you fumbled, go sit in time out is a joke. Redman fumbles game one and sits a quick series and is back out. If he's your man, why are you pulling him?! Dwyer busts that big run and turns around to see an emotionless Tomlin. Way to capitalize on a spark in your offense. No need to coddle anyone, but no need to put one player in the doghouse quicker than another. I don't think any of the backs we have are going to be 1,000 yard rushers. Frankly, that's not the road to success. We just need people who are going to do their damn assignments. So far Dwyer is our best healthy back.
On another note….
I agree on some points with Tomlin's attitude, such as the sit you if you fumble once or miss a block etc… Doesn't create continuity or breed confidence for the backs themselves. Does anyone else honestly think taking out and under utilizing Felix Jones early the last two games has been a blunder on Tomlin's part, he is averaging 4.2 – 4.5 yds a carry – Talk about a short third down when we need one?
Back to Dwyer, he really did nothing but show up in shape this year – and if I remember correctly last year he had some costly fumbles (as did our receivers) that cost us game(s). Not to mention the fact he is regularly inconsistent, even in a run by committee approach you think someone would out right WIN the starting job by showing it … and no one so far has done that.
In my eyes it is also pretty sad to see him finally show up in shape due to the Steelers using a 2nd RND pick on a back making him realize he's about to lose his job. 4 years and you just get in shape to show how bad you want it? Not the kind of mentality that I like to see how out of someone who wants the starting job. He has potential but I think it is limited potential, like I said his lack of vision and patience is a huge negative on his game-play.
He held down the fort for us last year, and has done a decent job last game. But when I heard the news he was cut, was I surprised? No.
Do I think Bell is going to immediately be the savior of our running game? No, but hopefully we will ease him in and let him adjust to the game speed – and he will turn out to be the prospect that we all expect him to be.
Hope he drops bombs on Sunday!
If you want to go to nfl .com scouting combine and look at strengths and weakness for Leveon Bell. you will notice as a weakness cutback ability and vision. I just don't make this stuff up. he's also a tall RB which make him an easy target. I am i huge Steeler fan and i just hate putting them down but shit they just aren't hitting on all cylinders the last few years and someones gotta say something.My opinion is Tomlin needs to cut ties with all his buddies and bring some high quality asst. coaches on board.That would be and awesome start, then honestly reevaluate all the players you currently have on the roster. Forget about pedigree, draft position, potential and just work with the football players that can actually play. One of the first things BILL Cowher said when he got the job was. Can i cut 1st rd. graft choices?? What he did was exactly that. remember Huey Richardson.
And the DB was going to close that hole a helluva lot faster than many think.
In all fairness, he probably didn't see that hole because Big Ben was standing in his field of vision.
Look at the gif again. Instead of a spin move into the line, look at what was possible if he follows Heaths back side (cut to the right at the line of scrimmage). That coupled with a better block by Brown would have resulted in a nice gain.
Watching the gifs you can see the lane was open at the beginning of the play and lasted the entire play. He had time to look left then right before Ben was extending his arm for the delayed hand-off. Again, a decisive cut back would've put that defender in an unfavorable arm-tackling position which I believe he would've broken. Although that didn't happen because he was staring down the left side the entire time.
