Can't get a good look at what happened on the touchdown. Here's what I can see:
Gay was slow and didn't drive Cruz off his route at all.
Ike (#24) got beat cleanly. Did Troy think the ball was going there? That would explain how Cruz got past him so quickly.
Steelers were playing a real vanilla defense and all 4 backs were playing straight man, none of them pressing. So i'm not terribly worried about the play breakdown for the regular season. That said Gay's big problem when he was with us was that he's smart as a whip but doesn't have the speed or the strength to deal with NFL caliber receivers. Once Cortez comes back Gay will probably be playing outside, so QB's are going to pick on that, just like in year's past. Really wish we kept Keenan.

Only other thing I can think of is Gay didn't slow Cruz down at all which left Troy out of position to clean up. If that's the case then it's all on Gay. This is where Curtis Brown comes in handy - Has the speed, and physicality to deal with these bigger slot guys.
This is my best guess and feel free to correct me and point and laugh
It looks like it's Cover 2 Man Under, so the middle third is open. Troy has the wide half b/c the ball is on the opposite hash. Gay probably is taught to force Cruz wide on release., and Cruz does catch that outside the hash. Cruz is a great slot WR and Eli drops it in the bucket. Sometimes the other team wins, though I would like to see what Troy was doing that allowed Cruz to get beyond him

That's the thing. That's plausible, but still doesn't explain why Troy was so out of position. None of the DB's were jamming so I doubt Gay was instructed to either.
Only thing that makes sense was that he broke early on Randle (?) and then couldn't correct to Cruz in time.
Jags play the Chiefs week 1. Someone should offer him an avatar bet.
Come Chefs fans come out the wood work!

guys the only thing preseason is useful for is evaluating depth. 99% of teams play their most basic and vanilla offense and defense, the stuff they install in the first day of minicamps, so as to preserve the amount of film available for the opener. take a look at the Redskins last year: they were pretty mediocre in pre-season and then obviously everyone knows what happened in the opener. it's why i'm confused as to why chip kelly opened the bag in the pre-seasons, doesn't make much sesne to me.
Rick Venturi does radio hits in STL, and he was kind of disputing the whole "vanilla" thing. He said 20 years ago, coaches would call each other and essentially script the game. He said they still talk to each other, but it's all very broad about how long they will play the 1s and the like. But there's no more "no blitzing" type agreements.
He said when he was with Haslett, who is a Pittsburgh guy, that on the first day of camp they install 11 pressures. A 3-4 D is going to do a lot of "blitzing" no matter how "vanilla" they are behind it. So there are things to learn. Pittsburgh will play that coverage this year. Troy will need to cover half the field and Gay will need to be heads up on a slot WR

The Browns have a shot at the division this year.
You know nothing Jon Snow.
Going to miss those legs.
Did GAF teach you nothing? Before I came here I would have looked at her tits, ass, face and legs in some kind of order. Now I am educated and know she is not breeding material because of the disgusting sharpness of her knees.
You're not very good at this studying thing are you

Ribs almost finished. Can't wait. Mmmmm mmm.
Not good at all, no. It's what happens if you learn nothing all semester and then have like one week per test to catch up on everything.
It will all be different next semester!
No it won't.
Those types have the dirtiest minds in the sack. There are things she would do to you. THINGS!
Man you gotta straighten up or you're headed straight to living with snes in his moms basement
I have another degree already. The unemployment rate for people with a degree is astonishingly low in Germany at the moment. I'll be fine (apart from the fact that I absolutely don't want to work in that field, but that's a different matter.)
