The Day After; Five Takeaways from the Hue Jackson Presser After the Browns Tie with the Steelers

2. The Final Field Goal and if the Steelers were offside

On if he still believes the Steelers were offsides on the final field goal:

“No. What I saw this morning is that they were really close. I think the guy was right on our snap, and he is a little bit ahead of everybody else on his team. So it looks and feels that way, but I think he is right on the snap. I do not think that was it at all. We got to do a better job of protecting on that side. They go some tremendous push, knocked us back and the ball has got to get up a little higher. The ball was hit left a little bit, so we got to fix those things.”

On reports coming out of the Steelers locker room that they were aware of the snap count:

“I do not – I mean again they are going to say what they say. I do not feel that. That was – the only other kicks we had was points after tries. So again, a rhythm of a snapper, a rhythm of certain things we do maybe they felt that. But to know exactly when we are snapping the ball, I would not think that.”

On if he thinks the kick gets blocked if K Zane Gonzalez kicks it higher:

“Who is to say? Again we wished the ball would have gotten up a little bit higher. It did not. It got blocked and we cannot have that happen.”
