Dixon

Did anyone besides me watch Dixon play the fourth quarter of the Steelers-Bills preseason game last night?

Dixon went 6/15, and led the Steelers in rushing. His completion percentage would have been better, but for 2-3 dropped passes by third-string receivers. Frankly, he looked a good bit better than Leftwich did out there, bringing Pittsburgh within 3 on a 47-yard touchdown run (shown below) and almost engineering a game-tying/winning drive but for poor clock management.

Thank you so much for posting the video

I’d been trying to find it since yesterday.

Gotta say, great blocking by Sweed and that TE though.

Yeah, good blocking and slow 3rd-stringers helped.

…but YAY Dixon looks FAST again.

He sure did

It was especially encouraging to see how good his footwork was when he was escaping the pocket under center. Steelers gotta be liking what they’re seeing.
