Steelers' Foster Seeks Better Execution Up Front
PITTSBURGH (93-7 THE FAN) -- Barring the umpteenth injury to the Steelers' offensive line, the tape will show that Ramon Foster replaced Willie Colon at left guard in Dallas. In any event, Foster hopes that tape shows something--anything--better than the one of last Sunday's disaster at Heinz Field.
"It showed more of us not executing our stuff. San Diego is a very good defense...and we didn't execute. They did a little bit better than we did," Foster told 93.7 The Fan's Eric Hagman on the South Side Wednesday. "It was one of those games...they got pressure, and stuff like that, and we've just got to be better in that department. We can't let them determine the game."
Despite the typically stellar play of All-Pro DeMarcus Ware, not to mention a big year from fellow linebacker Anthony Spencer, the Cowboys' defense, compared to the rest of the NFL, has been pedestrian against the run (118.8 yards allowed per game).
Foster talked about whether he thinks this opens a window of opportunity for his team's offense, which only carried 17 times--including five scrambles by Big Ben--for 69 yards versus the Chargers:
