the Art of Blocking on an INT Return

By Kipper @pghsportsforum
The newer guys on the steelers D guys starting to play this year and those who were new to team after the steelers last SB win in 2008 need to learn the art of blocking on an INT return. Blake (41) could have gotten his 2nd pic 6 if Dupree kept an eye on G Benard from the bengals on the INT return. The D needs to go back and watch the 2008 SB tape and see how the steelers D escorted Harrison to the End zone they did a great job of peel back blocking and turned the entire game around in that SB on 1 play. We really needed that pic 6 to happen last sunday 11/1 but it didn't. Its little details like this that the entire team is missing. I hesitate to put too much blame on the D when there were holding penalties and dropped passes galore here and there by the O.
I do feel very confident that we can beat cincy in cincy come early Dec. The biggest challenge is see is stopping Eifert he's a matchup nightmere and can do pretty much what he wants with a LB or safety on him. I think he's the key to their entire offense. I don't think the bengals are that good we shut them down for most of the game @ heinz if only our O had just been able to score and if we had gotten that pic 6. on an INT return when blocking the D only has to worry about 5 players cause the OL and QB are either slow or don't want any part of the tackling.
