Steelers-Redskins ... The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

I'll have to revise this once I actually get to watch the whole game.
But based on what I got to see ...

The Good: Redman and Antonio Brown looked really good.
The Bad: The O-line.
The Ugly: Based on what I saw ... Dixon. And he thinks he should be a starter?

Dixon and Battle on the field... together.

The Good:

A. Brown- Best player on the field last night.
Redman- Awesome TD run. Looking even better.
Heyward- Could be the next great Steelers defensive player.
Sylvester- His near-sack looked like he was shot out of a cannon.
Hampton- Looked to be getting good penetration.
Lefty- Other than the bad overthrow of Brown, he put the ball right on receivers most of the night. Still needs some touch.

The Bad:

Gay- Still plays way too far off guys.
Lyons- Drops aren't going to get you anywhere but possibly the practice squad.
Grisham- See above.
O-line on third down- Seemed like guys were coming untouched on a lot of third downs.

The Ugly:

Battle- He might take Ike's "Hands of Stone" nickname from him.
Dixon- Ugh! A starter? Really?
The overthrows- Pretty bad ones. Hopefully Ben can adjust his timing. Lefty's was worse. No touch, on a rope.

good analysis

i will say though that at this point of camp i would rather see ben over throw than under throw wallace

I was going to revise my analysis after watching the whole game, but Buddha summed it up quite nicely. Not much more I can add.

I agree. At least he's trying to adjust to Wallace's speed now. Hopefully they'll find the proper timing by the time the regular season starts.
