  1. Exactly! Steelers still have a great oline, maybe best in nfl. but their skill players are not what they had been. this is a very different off scheme. much more conservative, and occasional deep shots. they def have a lot of speed, but this isn't the same group. especially with duck at qb.
  2. anyone notice the Bills blanket in row 1, after the 2point conversion just before commercial...lol Bill's mafia trolling in baltimore love it
  3. darnold struggled, similar and actually worse. than allen against the Pat's cover 0/blitz schemes. be interesting to see if jets offense dials up some deep passes and can connect on 1 early... last weeks game is very different if allen and brown connect on that 1st drive darnold struggled, similar and actually worse. than allen against the Pat's cover 0/blitz schemes. be interesting to see if jets offense dials up some deep passes and can connect on 1 early... last weeks game is very different if allen and brown connect on that 1st drive
  4. It impacts the burgh but not like it would buffalo, Erie, i90 corridor looks like am snow showers in pittsburgh, maybe a dusting. according to local pitt forecast
  5. They're solid against the run too, but inthinknour best chance is to get Singletary (or maybe Yeldon is active this week) in routes against mark barron or their rookie Devin Bush
  6. Randy Moss just calling out Milano on "cmon man" segment for getting juked by lamar, during yesterday's game.... hope milano and this defense take these subtle jabs, and get fired up to dominate sunday night. I know, NFL players dont need extra motivation. but nobody likes getting called out on national tv
  7. Agree. Steelers dont blitz alot, but when they do, typically slot blitz. They have backed off their patented zone blitz, double a gap lb stunts. Now with watt and Dupree, they play a lot of coverage and rely on the talented front four. Also, just a weird nugget but something everyone will notice (if not known already)....the steelers copied our 3rd down train horn, lol, prepare for their version of its 3rddddd downnnnnn
  8. I haven't had the chance to read all comments in this thread, so not singling you out just wanted to say... Living in Pittsburgh, I've seen every steeler game and connected with some media folks too: 1. dont sleep on steeler defense. they dont have the corners, although Haden is very good, thatbthe ravens or Patriots have, but their front seven and pass rush is the best we will be facing up till now, imo 2. attacking their defense: historically, teams that run spread have had success vs running 12 or 21 personnel. this year is a bit different, as their combo of watt and Dupree is difficult to block. Josh is going to need to throw "on time" and be willing to take some quick check downs. their defense is very aggressive, misdirection and screens can work against them 3. on offense, duck brings a very different dynamic than rudolph. duck is a rhythm passer, not a cannon, but solid arm. he can scramble, if needed, but more like a ryan fitz. Teams have stacked the box to counter their strong oline and tendency this season to pass short to their rbs. As they do that, corners typically jam the wrs in man coverage. which is where both duck and rudolph have had success with fade/go routes. This is where I'd mix up the press vs off man/zone 4. with juju hurt, I think their most dangerous weapon is diontae Johnson, however hes a rookie and still coming into his own. james Washington has solid speed, and great catch radius/strength, hes their primary deep threat right now Bottom line, get them into 3rd and 5+, and minimize the big plays on deep catches or pass interference. On offense, josh needs to play a game like he did against the titans and hopefully connect on a deep pass
  9. Texans get to 10 wins by either: 1. beating titans 2x, lose other. outcome is they win division, as titans would have 7 losses 2. splitting with titans, winning other. they win division in this scenario too, as they would have better division record than titans. titans would assuming have 10 wins, and we beat them on head to head, if we win 1 more
  10. Yeah, ignoring salary, leadership, work ethic, mentoring a young rb...and so on. Agree McCoy is still more talented at this point of his career, but clearly the team thought Singletary would be taking control and didn't want to keep mccoy around for everything listed above, or other reasons not made public
  11. No saying it's a certainty, but tough to get in?! Please look at that titans and texans schedules, they play each other 2x still. We just need to beat the Jets and we're in....colts and raiders each with 7 losses, titans will either win both (putting us ahead of texans), split (texans win division and we have tiebreaker over titans), or Texans win both.....we are in with 1 more AFC win
  12. not sure how they can keep the Rams and Seahawks on primetime week 14. 1. Wilson or Jackson: toss up for nfl mvp right now, both a big draw for fans 2. Bill's or Rams: Rams loss tonight puts them out of playoff contention, not mathematically eliminated but in reality. Bill's have ZERO games after 4:30 kickoff, 8-3, and a showcase of 2 young nfl starting qbs from the same draft class
  13. KJ was rotating with Wallace at outside corner for most of the game. After Wallace's performance against Cleveland, glad to see the coaches mixing it up
  14. Stupid and dirty play by Garrett. but looked initiated by Rudomph trying to pull his helmet off backwards, hockey fight style....and love teammates coming to defense, but not throwing punches and kicking someone in the back of head while down
  15. well I cant see them making a deal with so many needs....Def line, LB, and WR....all 3 are trending down right now
  16. can any of our dlienman win up front. wtf...thisbis pathetic, hopefully not a sign of things to come
  17. need to work those quick slants right now ..need a big play yac
