Excellent post. A good read and very true.

I think Bentley would be the one more likely to leave his current team for obvious reasons, though I think Hutch would be the one who helps this team more. We'd be very lucky to get either.

Geez, if the guy had any more consistency, he'd practically be the number one DE in the league... Wake up and watch closer. The A.S. you speak of played three years ago.

Your theory is laughable garbage, especially under a coach personality like Marvin Lewis.

His biggest advantage right now over JP is his ability to find and utilize the checkdown man. This will change, but for now it's the major difference between the two to me.

Nice analysis Bill, and merry christmas to you and yours. I would like to add that #55 proving some of his doubters wrong of late as he seems to have learned how to shed blockers quite well indeed.

Yep, and he had 2 today vs. what is considered by all on this board to be a very good tackle. Does that give him 11 sacks for the season?

Nate had what they call "trail technique" in a mostly cover 2 scheme today. He got caught up a step slow at times today even so. I've certainly seen worse games but still wasn't overly thrilled with his play. He did make some nice tackles today both in run support and on some flat passes.

the catch wasn't too shabby either aye?

Looks like there might be a chance of you being grumpy all through next season too huh?

Put your tar and feathers on hold just for the holidays mmmkay JSP? geez

Merry !@#$ing christmas everbody! What a gut check for the heart of this team. I'll take it

Lol. You too....

If you don't understand the difference between quick/agile and fast, maybe you shouldn't be commenting with such conviction on the subject. There's plenty to be upset about with this team without manufacturing new things.

Nope. He was never billed as a burner. He was billed for his quickness laterally in open space.

nope. He is among the nfl leaders in punt returns and is learning quickly how to play in the slot at WR. He runs good routes and has shown good hands. He knows how to make people miss in space. These are all facts. Again, I don't like a slot WR with my 2nd round pick, but he certainly has shown that he can be valuable in this league.

Roscoe has been just fine and was never brought in to be expected to be any sort of "savior". I didn't like the choice at the time but he has played as well as could be expected or better.

It's Anderson a lot more than it is McNally.

You mean like those munchkins on the Patriots? Or how about that munchkin in Indy?

Either you are saying that ALL the players drafted under TD while in Pitt left the team right when he did or you are supporting his "theory" with your comments. Look at the lines who started during those years.

Wow, you're on a roll today. Another great post

Very good points...

Put O'Donnel aside for a moment. From my understanding, and according to many diehard Steeler fan friends of mine (I have all together too many friends that are Steeler fans), a big part of the power struggle between Cowher and TD at the end was that TD wanted NO PART of Kordell as QB, and Cowher wanted to stick with him. These guys know their Steelers info well enough IMO that I will trust them.

He didn't call the game. You might say that he played a good game though.

I'm pretty sure Simon does...
