Police Dept. to remain open after council vote
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

POMEROY — The Village
of Pomeroy will continue to
operate its police department,
at least on a scaled back basis,
for the remainder of 2019.
Village council voted, during a special meeting on
Monday evening, to take out
a loan from Farmers Bank for
$30,000 to fund the department, paying it’s two full-time
ofﬁcers (one of whom is off on
paid sick leave), and to add a
part time ofﬁcer to work over
night hours.
Council had been taking
steps since the summer to help

reduce costs regarding the
police department in anticipation of less funding than previous years. Multiple shifts had
been cut, leaving the department closed several evenings
and overnights per week in an
effort to continue operation
for the remainder of the year.
Council also asked that the
daytime ofﬁcer vary his hours
in order to offer coverage at
different times of the day.
Mayor Don Anderson
explained that while it is not
ideal to take out a loan to fund
the department it is the best
solution at this point, in his
opinion. Anderson explained
that shutting down the depart-

ment entirely would hurt the
village, its residents and the
two long-time ofﬁcers who
have spent their careers with
the village. Anderson noted
that those two long-time
employees (an ofﬁcer and
chief) are expected to retire
at the end of 2019, with one
having already submitted
retirement paperwork and one
verbally indicating the intent
to retire.
Council member Vic Young
stated at the meeting that if
the village were to take out a
loan to fund the department he
would like to see the addition
of a part time person to patrol
the neighborhoods in the vil-

lage over night to ensure the
safety of residents and their
properties, particularly during this time of the year when
crimes tend to increase toward
the holiday season.
Anderson said the hope is
that the village would not be in
the same ﬁnancial situation in
2020, as the two largest salaries would be gone from the
budget with the retirements,
and it is possible that the village could see an increase in
income tax revenue.
In order to avoid the same
ﬁnancial situation, Anderson
said the village would be
looking to hire a police chief,
beginning the search soon in

order to ﬁnd the best possible
person for the job. They would
then operate with limited staff
until the loan is paid back and
the department would recover
from the deﬁcit it is currently
in regarding the police department ﬁnances.
It was also discussed how
the village could bring additional revenue into the police
department, with the idea
of bringing back parking
meters on the streets downtown brieﬂy discussed. Initial
conversation, brought up by
Young, would be for the meters
to be on the streets, but leave

Krodel Christmas
light displays
open Nov. 18
By Kayla Hawthorne
khawthorne@aimmediamidwest.com

POINT PLEASANT — Krodel Park will have
its Christmas light displays open to the public
starting at 5 p.m., Monday, Nov. 18, barring any
unforeseen weather delays.
Once the switch is ﬂipped, the displays will be
open every night from 5:30 p.m. - 9 p.m. through
Dec. 31.
The lights are a free, drive-though event, but
organizers of Main Street Point Pleasant say donations are appreciated.
“The money goes back to the community and
the Main Street organization,” said Charles Humphreys, executive director.
Humphreys said children and adults of all
ages enjoy the lights — including a Santa Claus,
church, angels, and more.
“It’s mainly just to come and enjoy it and to get
into the Christmas spirit,” Humphreys said.
Employees with the City of Point Pleasant have
begun working at Krodel Park to assemble the
Christmas light displays. The city supplies the
labor and electricity for the display which has
been attracting visitors to Krodel Park for the last
19 years.
“I think it’s a tradition that should keep on
going,” Humphreys said.

Takeaways from impeachment hearings
By Eric Tucker,
Michael Balsamo
and Mary Clare Jalonick
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —
Wednesday’s start of
public impeachment
hearings in Congress
marked the ﬁrst time
that the American public
could watch and listen
to the witnesses whose
testimony is at the core
of the Democrats’ investigation.
In several hours of
testimony, punctuated
by occasional bickering
among lawmakers, some
memorable moments
emerged.
Some key takeaways
from the ﬁrst public witnesses, George Kent and
William Taylor:
Trump pushed for Biden
investigation
Hearings like this one
can be scripted affairs.
But there was an early
surprise.
Taylor, the top U.S.
diplomat in Ukraine,
revealed for the ﬁrst
time that his staff members overheard President
Donald Trump speaking
on the phone to another
diplomat about investigations.
Taylor said some of
his staff members were
at a restaurant with
Gordon Sondland, the
U.S. ambassador to the
European Union, the
day after the July 25
call between Trump and
Ukraine’s newly elected
president, Volodymyr
Zelenskiy.
Sondland used his
cellphone to call Trump
from the restaurant,
and the staff members
could hear Trump on
the phone asking about
“the investigations.”
Taylor took that to mean
investigations into former Vice President Joe
Biden, his son Hunter
and the Burisma Group,
the Ukrainian ﬁrm that
had hired Hunter Biden
as a director in 2014, he
told lawmakers.
Taylor said he only
learned about the call
last Friday and didn’t
know about it when he
appeared for a closed-

national security adviser
John Bolton.
Split-screen questioning
The hearing also had
elements of misdirection.

NEW YORK (AP) — A
Roman Catholic bishop named
by Pope Francis to investigate
the church’s response to clergy
sexual abuse in Buffalo, New
York, has himself been accused
of sexual abuse of a child, an
attorney for the alleged victim
notiﬁed the church this week.
The attorney informed Catholic ofﬁcials in New Jersey
that he is preparing a lawsuit
on behalf of a client who says
he was molested by Brooklyn
Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio in
the mid-1970s, when DiMarzio was a parish priest in Jersey City.
DiMarzio said there is no

truth to the accusation.
“I am just learning about
this allegation,” he said in a
statement Tuesday to The
Associated Press. “In my nearly 50-year ministry as a priest,
I have never engaged in unlawful or inappropriate behavior
and I emphatically deny this
allegation. I am conﬁdent I
will be fully vindicated.”
In a letter sent Monday to
the church’s Newark, New
Jersey, archdiocese, Boston
attorney Mitchell Garabedian
said 56-year-old Mark Matzek
alleges he was repeatedly
abused by DiMarzio and a second priest, the late Rev. Albert
Mark, when he was an altar
boy at St. Nicholas Church
and a student at St. Nicholas
School.

THEIR VIEW

Growing
amaryllis and
paper whites
Amaryllis and Paper whites are rewarding,
easy-care houseplants that really brighten a winter
windowsill. Few bulbs are easier to grow than
amaryllis and few bloom with greater
exuberance and beauty. Just plant
the bulb in good potting soil, water
regularly and provide bright, indirect
light.
A support stake is handy for keeping the blooms upright, but little else
is required. Most varieties will begin
Charlene blooming six to eight weeks after
Thornhill planting; some can take as long as
Contributing ten weeks.
columnist
If the amaryllis is not already potted, plant each amaryllis bulb in a
6-8” pot. Heavy pots are preferable
because lightweight pots may tip over under the
weight of the blooms. But ﬁrst, place the bulb in
lukewarm water for a few hours before planting.
Plant the bulb, pointed-end-up, in soil-less potting
mix. Plant the bulb up to its neck in the potting
mix. Press the soil down ﬁrmly to set the bulb
securely in place after planting. Allow approximately one-third of the bulb to remain above the
soil line. Do not use soil from the garden because
it will not drain properly.
Place the potted bulb in a warm place with
direct light since heat is necessary for the development of the stems. The ideal temperature is 68-70
degrees. Water sparingly until the stem appears,
then, as the bud and leaves appear, gradually
water more.
At this point, the stem will grow rapidly and
ﬂowers will develop after it has reached full
growth. As the plant grows, turn the pot periodically to encourage the ﬂower stalks to grow
straight. Flower buds will appear at the top of
each stalk, followed by a dramatic ﬂoral display.
To prolong the blooms, keep the pot out of direct
sunlight.
If you want a beautiful bloom for Christmas,
plant it now! By planting around November 15
will give you bloom starting December 20 through
January 10. Planting December 1, the bloom will
be ﬂower about January 6 – 28.
Cut the old ﬂower from the stem after ﬂowering
and when the stem starts to sag, cut it back to the
top of the bulb.
Continue to water and fertilize as normal all
summer or for at least 5 – 6 months allowing the
leaves to fully develop and grow. When the leaves
begin to yellow in the early fall, cut the leaves
back to about 2 inches from the top of the bulb
and remove the bulb from the soil.
Clean the bulb and place it in a cool, dark place
such as the crisper of your refrigerator for a minimum of 6 weeks.
Do not store amaryllis bulbs in a refrigerator
that contains apples, this will sterilize the bulbs.
After 6 weeks you may remove bulbs whenever
you would like to plant them. Plant bulbs 8 weeks
before you would like them to bloom.
If you like to force paper whites, you will need
a container about 3-4 inches deep and that has
no drainage holes. Spread an inch or 2 of stones,
marbles or even gravel, along the bottom of the
container.
Position paper white bulbs, pointed end up, on
top of the stone layer and close together. They
display better in a large group and the tight ﬁt will
help keep them from topping over. Add another
layer of stones to cover the bulbs up to their shoulders. The pointed ends will still be showing.
Add water so that the level just reaches the base
of the bulbs. Covering the entire bulb with water
will cause it to rot. The bulbs do not need light at
this point and prefer it on the cool side, at about
65 degrees. Check your bulbs daily to see if they
need more water.
When you see roots developing, move the container to a sunny window but don’t let them get
too warm or they will grow leggy. Full bloom will
take 3-5 weeks total. Once the plants ﬂower move
to a cool spot with indirect or diffused light. Bring
some beauty into your home by planting these
bulbs.

BREC broadband
infrastructure
grant for 2.5M
Submitted story

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Buckeye Rural Electric
Cooperative’s (BREC) $2.5 million grant from
the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC)
Partnerships for Opportunity and Workforce and
Economic Revitalization (POWER) Initiative for
the installation of 168 miles of ﬁber project that
will connect the co-op’s substations in six counties
of the eastern portion of its service territory was
hailed by Lt. Governor Jon Husted as “critically
important for the future of the region.”
The initiative, which will improve service reliability and security and utilize available technologies among BREC’s substations via a ﬁber
infrastructure, was celebrated at a November 7
announcement at the University of Rio Grande,
attended by Husted; John Carey, director of the
governor’s ofﬁcer of Appalachia; Ryan Smith,
president of the University of Rio Grande and Rio
Grande Community College; and Kent Eldridge,
BREC vice president of member services. The
infrastructure will allow for future broadband
expansion by internet service providers (ISP),
who will supply “last mile” service to connect
homes and businesses to high-speed internet in
the remote unserved and underserved areas of
Gallia, Vinton, Meigs, Athens, Lawrence, and
Jackson counties.
“Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative is committing $1.1 million to the project, with the ARC
POWER Initiative grant providing the additional
$2.5 million, or 70%, of the $3.6 million cost. It
will take three years to complete the project,”
said Eldridge. “There must be a starting point for
broadband to reach remote rural areas. The ARC
grant will provide just that, and Buckeye Rural
Electric Cooperative will be the vehicle to transport service, thanks to the initial Southeast Ohio
Broadband Backbone project.”
Carey thanked BREC and noted his pride that
the co-op stood up to address the issue of rural
broadband access. He further stated that BREC
serves as an example to the state’s electric cooperative network.
The event, hosted by Smith, introduced one of
54 investments totaling $44.4 million via ARC’s

Alabama 5th in CFP
committee rankings
after loss to LSU

Cougars knock off RedStorm
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press

Alabama is ﬁfth in the latest College Football
Playoff rankings, behind LSU, Ohio State, Clemson and Georgia, which took over the fourth spot
in the selection committee’s second top 25.
LSU replaced Ohio State as No. 1 on Tuesday
night after the Tigers won at Alabama on Saturday. The Buckeyes were bumped to No. 2. Clemson moved up two spots to No. 3 after two teams
ahead of the Tigers lost for the ﬁrst time last
week, including Alabama.
The Crimson Tide fell to 46-41 to LSU and
dropped two spots. Penn State, which had been
No. 4, lost 31-26 at Minnesota and fell to ninth.
The unbeaten Gophers climbed nine spots to
eighth, the largest one-week jump in the six-year
history of the College Football Playoff.
Georgia moved up two spots to give the Southeastern Conference two of the top four for the
second straight week.
Selection committee chairman Rob Mullens,
the Oregon athletic director, said Georgia’s loss
to South Carolina (4-6) was noted by the committee, but the Bulldogs’ victories against No. 11
Florida and No. 16 Notre Dame pushed them past
Alabama.
Oregon was sixth and fellow Pac-12 team Utah
was seventh.
Oklahoma, the highest-ranked Big 12 team at
No. 10, dropped a spot after a one-point victory
against Iowa State. The Sooners face 13th-ranked
Baylor on Saturday. The Bears are the lowestranked unbeaten team.
The highest-ranked Group of Five teams were
17th-ranked Cincinnati and 18th-ranked Memphis
out of the American Athletic Conference. The
highest-ranked team from outside the Power Five
conferences receives an automatic bid to a New
Year’s Six bowl.
The ﬁnal rankings and pairings for the College
Football Playoff semiﬁnal will be revealed Dec. 8.
Alabama is the only team to make the playoff all
ﬁve years. Can it get there again?
Barring a stunning November collapse by LSU,
the Crimson Tide will not reach the SEC championship game. Looking back at the teams that
already took that route might provide clues.
The Ohio State team that reached the playoff in
2016 had a three-point loss at Penn State that kept
it out of the Big Ten title game. The Nittany Lions
ﬁnished ﬁfth in the committee’s ﬁnal rankings
with an 11-2 record. The Buckeyes on selection
Sunday owned victories against the committee’s
sixth (Michigan), seventh (Oklahoma) and eighth
(Wisconsin) ranked teams, two on the road. They
were exactly the type of team the playoff architects had in mind when they determined a conference championship should not be a requirement to
make the playoff.
Ohio State was the third seed in those semiﬁnals, so while there was some debate about whether it was fair to have Ohio State in over Penn
State, the ﬁnal choice for the selection committee
was between Penn State and Washington, the 12-1
Pac-12 champion. The Huskies didn’t have much
of a nonconference resume, but one loss was better than two and Washington got the nod.
That was also the story of the 2017 selection
process. Alabama was the fourth choice that year
despite getting squeezed out of the SEC championship game by West rival Auburn. The Crimson
Tide ﬁnished 11-1 and on selection Sunday held
victories against teams the committee ranked 17th
(LSU) and 23rd (Mississippi State). Alabama got
the nod over Ohio State because of what it didn’t
do: Lose twice and get blown out by an unranked
team. The Buckeyes (11-2) had both of those
marks on their resume, and even though they won
the Big Ten, it wasn’t enough.
So what does Alabama need to happen this year
to keep its streak of playoff appearances alive? The
Tide won’t have a resume loaded with big wins to
fall back on like Ohio State in 2016. Without that,
the Tide could use at least two Power Five champions to ﬁnish with two or more losses. No Power
Five champ with one loss or fewer has been left
out for a team that did not win a conference.
Maybe the most comparable team to Alabama
from previous years is Ohio State in 2015. Those
Buckeyes were the defending national champions,
with a loaded team that featured Ezekiel Elliott,
Joey Bosa and eight other players that were drafted in the ﬁrst three rounds the following April.

Rio Grande’s Markus Geldenhuys attempts to
put up a shot over Mount Vernon Nazarene’s Ben
Pollock during the second half of Tuesday night’s
63-45 loss to the eighth-ranked Cougars at the
Newt Oliver Arena.

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — For
the better part of one half, the
University of Rio Grande went
toe-to-toe with one of the top
teams in the nation.
But a ﬁve-minute stretch at
the start of the second stanza
snuffed out any hopes that the
RedStorm had of pulling an
upset and recording a signature
win.
Mount Vernon Nazarene
University parlayed a 13-4 run
to begin the second half into
a commanding 16-point lead
and an eventual 63-45 win over
Rio Grande, Tuesday night, in
non-conference men’s basketball action at the Newt Oliver
Arena.

The Cougars, who are ranked
No. 8 in the latest NAIA Division II coaches’ poll, pushed
their overall record to 5-0 with
the victory.
The RedStorm, who suffered
a sixth straight setback at the
hands of MVNU, evened its ledger at 2-2 with the loss.
While Rio trailed for nearly
all of the opening half, it
remained within striking distance throughout and was down
just 28-21 at the intermission.
But Mount Vernon Nazarene
essentially put the RedStorm
away by scoring 13 of the ﬁrst
17 points in the second half
to build a 16-point advantage,
41-25, following a jumper in the
lane by Austin Jones with 15:11

ATHENS, Ohio — The
home ﬁnale nearly had a
story-book ending… but
the Broncos turned it to
a tragedy.
After just two ﬁrst
downs in the ﬁrst half,
the Ohio football team
took the lead in Tuesday’s Mid-American
Conference game at
Peden Stadium at 34-31
in overtime, but gave up
a touchdown on Western
Michigan’s overtime try
and fell by a 37-34 tally.
WMU (7-4, 5-2 MAC)
covered 70 yards in 15
plays on the game’s opening drive, but was forced
to settle for a 22-yard
ﬁeld goal by Thiago
Kapps.
Ohio (4-6, 3-3) went
three-and out on its ﬁrst
two drives of the game,
and the Broncos were
forced into a three-andout on their second possession. Western Michigan covered 91 yards in
17 plays on its third try,
but couldn’t add on to
the 3-0 lead, as a fourth
down false start led to
a missed ﬁeld goal and
gave the Bobcats the ball
on their own 20.
The Green and White
made it to the WMU side
of the ﬁeld for the ﬁrst
time on their next drive,
but were forced to punt
from the 42.
The Bobcat defense
came up with another
three-and-out, but Ohio
fumbled the punt and
Drake Spears recovered
for the guests at their
own 48.
A dozen plays later,

the Broncos scored the
game’s ﬁrst touchdown,
as Jon Wassink found
Giovanni Ricci for a twoyard touchdown pass
with eight seconds left in
the half. Gavin Peddie’s
ﬁrst of four point-after
kicks gave the guests a
10-0 lead at the break.
After halftime, Ohio
ended the shut out bid
with a 10-play, 74-yard
drive, capped off by a
eight-yard touchdown
pass from Nathan Rourke
to Ryan Luehrman. Louie
Zervos made his ﬁrst of
four point-after kicks to
trim the deﬁcit to 10-7
with 11:18 left in the
third quarter.
After a Bronco threeand-out, Ohio took its
ﬁrst lead of the game at
14-10 with 7:09 to go in
the third, with a 10-yard
De’Montre Tuggle touchdown run at the end of a
six-play, 86-yard drive.

Following a three-andout by each side, the
Broncos regained the
lead at 17-14 with a fourplay, 62-yard drive and
a 16-yard scoring pass
from Wassink to Ricci
at the 3:17 mark of the
third quarter.
Ohio tied the game at
17 on the ﬁrst play of the
fourth quarter, as Zervos
nailed a 33-yard kick.
However, WMU reestablished the edge at
24-17, as Skyy Moore
hauled in a 61-yard
touchdown pass from
Wassink with 13:20 left
in regulation.
The Bobcats needed
seven plays and 3:06 to
tie the game at 24, with
Tuggle ﬁnding paydirt
from four yards out.
Western Michigan
went up 31-24 with a
12-play, 72-yard drive,
capped off by a two-yard
run by Moore with 4:51

left in the fourth.
Ohio marched 60 yards
in 11 plays, but had
an incomplete pass on
fourth-and-goal, giving
the ball back to the Broncos at their own six-yard
line with 1:10 to play.
The Bobcat defense
came up with the threeand-out required to stay
in the game, and the OU
offense took over with 47
seconds left and 53 yards
in front of it.
On the fourth play of
the drive, Rourke completed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Tupa,
tying the game at 31 with
nine seconds to play.
The Bobcats took the
ball ﬁrst in overtime,
and picked up ﬁve yards
before Zervos made a
37-yard ﬁeld goal to give
the hosts a 34-31 lead.
WMU went to Levante
Bellamy for three
straight carries in overtime, and the Broncos
senior took care of business, going 20 yards, one
yard and then four yards
for the game-winning
touchdown.
After their second
straight home setback,
Ohio head coach Frank
Solich admitted that the
Bobcats are feeling some
frustration.
“It has been frustrating for the coaches, and
also the players,” said
Solich. “They are very
frustrated, and obviously
we expected more out
of this season. We’ve got
two games to go, and we
plan on winning those
two games. We can’t take

are the eighth and ninth
managers to win this
award in their ﬁrst full
seasons on the job.
Baldelli took over a

in 2018 and pushed
them to 101 victories
and an AL Central title.
He worked tightly with
Minnesota’s analyticsfocused front ofﬁce
— a shift from predecessor Paul Molitor,
who won the award in
2017 — and oversaw a
turnaround powered by
the team’s major leaguerecord 307 home runs.
“There’s really no
playbook,” Baldelli
said. “You certainly
take advantage of the
resources around you,
the people who you
trust, you rely on them
in a lot of ways. I did
that in a lot of different
ways.”
The self-dubbed
Bomba Squad thrived
under Baldelli, whose
big league playing
career was cut short by
a rare disorder that led
to frequent fatigue and
soft tissue injuries.

One of Baldelli’s priorities was keeping players rested, a strategy
that worked especially
well with his catchers.
Nobody started more
than 73 games behind
the plate for Minnesota,
yet the trio of Mitch
Garver, Jason Castro
and Willians Astudillo
combined for 48 home
runs, most in the majors
by any team’s backstops.
Young hitters Jorge

Miguel Sano and Byron

as one of the most reliable in baseball.
“We have a group of
young players here in
Minnesota, a nucleus of
young guys that were
really coming into their
own in a lot of ways,”
Baldelli said. “I think
some of those guys
were ready to take the
next step in their career
offensively, and a couple
of those guys were
doing that at the same
time. We also complemented them with some
quality, veteran players.”

Jones, one of four MVNU players to ﬁnish in double
ﬁgures, scored six of his 10 points during the scoring
spurt.
The cushion continued to grow, reaching as many
as 28 points after an Isaac White three-pointer with
3:26 left to play made it 62-34, while Rio Grande
scored 11 of the game’s ﬁnal 12 points to make the
ﬁnal score a bit more respectable.
The RedStorm shot just 35 percent from the ﬁeld
overall (14-for-40) and 60 percent at the free throw
line (12-for-20), while also getting out rebounded,
35-21.
Junior Kyle Lamotte (Mason, OH) was Rio’s only
double-digit scorer with 11 points. Sophomore
Markus Geldenhuys (Pretoria, South Africa) pulled
down a team-high six rebounds in a losing cause.
White led Mount Vernon Nazarene with 14 points,
while Jevon Knox and Jacob Paul netted 11 points
apiece.
Paul also had a game-high eight rebounds for the
Cougars, who shot 58 percent in the second half (14for-24) and 51 percent for the game (26-for-51).
Rio Grande returns to action on Friday night in the
opening round of the Walters Classic hosted by the
University of Pikeville.
The RedStorm will play Simmons College of Kentucky, with tipoff set for 6 p.m. at UPike Gymnasium.

worked as an administrative assistant for the
Charlotte O’s in the Baltimore Orioles’ system,
and Shildt was a regular
in the clubhouse.
“Appreciative of the
time and love she and
my dad invested in me,”
Shildt said.
Hospitalized for her
ﬁnal days, Shildt’s mother repeatedly told her
nurses how important
it was that she live until
Tuesday to ﬁnd out if
her son had won.
“She was emotional
about knowing it was
likely she wasn’t going
to be here,” Shildt said.
“I said, ‘You know what?
You’re going to know
before I am.’
“It still hasn’t sunk
in in total and I don’t
know if it ever will, ultimately, what that loss
is going to feel like,” he
added.
Shildt replaced Mike
Matheny as Cardinals
manager during the
2018 season, and under
his steady guidance, St.
Louis has been among
baseball’s best teams
since. The club won
91 games and the NL
Central crown this year,
ending the franchise’s
three-year postseason
drought. The Cardinals
gave Shildt a contract
extension through the
2022 season.
“I set my sights on
being the best coach I
could be just like being
the best player I could
be, and the journey has
led me here,” Shildt

Drop Zone? Steelers playmakers searching for consistency
miscues lingered inside an otherwise giddy locker room.
“It doesn’t feel good,”
McDonald said Tuesday. “I was
unhappy. It shouldn’t feel that
way, because we won.”
McDonald was hardly alone.
Wide receiver JuJu SmithSchuster and running back Jaylen Samuels also couldn’t come
down with balls that smacked
off their hands, would-be receptions that would have extended
drives. And a pretty 34-yard
catch-and-run by James Washington ended in nightmarish
fashion when he was stripped
shortly after extending his right
arm — which had the ball in
it at the time — in an effort to
direct the blocking in front of
him.

For an offense still searching
for a rhythm under starting
quarterback Mason Rudolph,
those kinds of missed opportunities can be costly. The fact
they haven’t been while the
Steelers (5-4) have emerged
from a 1-4 start is a testament
to a dominant defense that is
second in the league in takeaways (26) and third in sacks
(33) heading into Thursday
night’s visit to Cleveland.
McDonald and the rest of the
offense know it’s time to start
helping the defense if Pittsburgh
wants to entertain any ideas of
reaching the postseason.
“We’ve got to execute,”
McDonald said. “Especially
when the defense does the performance that they did, we’ve

got to close games out as an
offense.”
Measuring drops is an inexact science. So is determining
what is and isn’t catchable. Yet
the Steelers understand their
margin for error isn’t as big
with Mason Rudolph replacing
the injured Ben Roethlisberger.
Roethlisberger led the NFL in
attempts, completions and yards
passing in 2018 while throwing
to a group that included Antonio Brown.
Fast forward 12 months
and Roethlisberger is recovering from season-ending right
elbow surgery and Brown is in
self-induced exile after burning through three teams in six
months. The Steelers are 23rd
in pass attempts this season,

meaning there are fewer chances for playmakers to make plays,
magnifying the importance of
every mistake.
“We threw the ball a lot last
year,” offensive coordinator
Randy Fichtner said. “Everyone
knew they were going to get
an opportunity. It was going to
present itself in every series.
And the running backs knew
that at the right appropriate
time if they weren’t catching it,
they were getting an opportunity to run it. It’s been a little
bit different.”
Out of necessity more than
anything else. Injuries have
already forced the Steelers to
use three starting quarterbacks,
ﬁve running backs and four
tight ends.

Vance McDonald should have

Thrilled. Yet he wasn’t. He

As his Pittsburgh Steelers

him following a 17-12 victory
over the Los Angeles Rams on
Sunday, the veteran tight end

Yes, the Steelers had pushed
their winning streak to four
when safety Minkah Fitzpatrick
hauled in the clinching interception in the ﬁnal seconds.
McDonald, however, would
have preferred if his team wasn’t
