CAM Heywood split the responsibility





Mike Mitchell and the longest Will Allen with bad Angle in Steelers 20-16 loss to the Giant in metropolitan stadium on Saturday night. And coach mike tomlin pointed out that the secondary let Giant run guard Rashad Jennings, what should be a good harvest jammed into a 73 yard touchdown. However, Cameron Heywood pile due to its own fault caused by the big play Steelers defense last season.
Heyward do not maintain his gap, Jennings, through a huge hole after the guards, broke into the open areas and no more than cornerbacks Cortez Allen and William gay end area.  “I’m fully responsible,” Heyward told Steelers TV after the preseason opener. “I didn’t get it done.” Tomlin didn’t quite see it the same way as the Steelers’ defensive end. “We’ve got to get it on the ground in the secondary. They’ve got to be 8, 10, 12-yard runs, not 78-yard runs,” the eighth-year coach said. "This is clearly a gap - integrity is the core problem, but I'm more concerned about is that when these things happen, we try to reduce explosion."
Heyward, however, refused to give himself even the slightest pass for Jennings’ touchdown.  Or dismiss it as knocking off the rust in a meaningless game.  “We can’t say it’s only preseason,” said Heyward, one of the Steelers’ defensive leaders. "We’re treating every game like we want to win. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and I messed up for this team. It won’t happen again.”
