ColoradoBills Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Well if the Pittsburgh official depth chart is correct their starting OL is as follows: https://www.steelers.com/team/depth-chart/ LT Dan Moore - Rookie 4th Round Pick LG Kevin Dotson - 1 Year Pro (4 Games Started for PIT 2020) C Kendrick Green - Rookie 3rd Round Pick RG Trai Turner - 7 Year Pro (6 years with Panthers 5 time Probowl, 1st year with PIT, played for LAC last year) RT Chukwuma Okorafor - 3 Year Pro all with PIT 30 Game Starter FWIW @Stank_Nasty Edited September 6, 2021 by ColoradoBills 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 2 hours ago, Boatdrinks said: This one is looking like a squeaker to me , with the Steelers offense surprisingly effective vs the soft middle of the Bills D. Fans fasten your seatbelts, as the Bills escape with a 4 point win. I mean, you could be right - the Steelers clearly had "upgrade the run game" in mind when they signed Trai Turner to replace DeCastro then drafted Najee Harris, Kendrick Green, and Dan Moore Jr. And their OL may in fact, become a better run-blocking OL and a better OL overall than they were last year. They could be Men of Steel on a Mission. But shouldn't they have to prove they can get 'er done before we concede them the middle of our D? That's 2 rookies, a guy who played 4 games last season, a legit former all-pro guard who had a very bad year last season, and Okorafor who hasn't yet become what they hoped he would. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the game will tell what will happen with their new OL. Their Center LG and LT have 4 NFL starts under their belts. Imagine this board if the Bills were going into the season like that! In comparison the Bills 3 at those positions have 171 NFL starts plus they been playing together. Interesting note on Turner (their 1st year playing for them Pro Bowl Guard) at RG played for Carolina while McDermott, Star, Addison, Butler and DL Coach Washington all were there so one would assume they got some tendencies on him. If the Bills new DL can't take advantage of this situation Sunday at home I will not know what to think.

They probably should , and it’s likely just my season opening jitters getting the best of me. For whatever reason, I’m just not getting that beatdown, commanding victory type feeling for this game that a lot of fans are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people seem to be projecting qualities on the Steelers that they have not possessed for some time now. Many people also like to underestimated the capabilities of the Bills defense. This game may be close for a while (1 quarter) but will not be close after that. The Bills have the better QB, better personnel overall, and at this point are better coached.

JESSEFEFFER Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 9 hours ago, wjag said: The screen, short pass and sweep plays to Najee Harris will be a big factor in this game. Shut that down early, and the game becomes more one dimensional. If Pitt has success early, watch out.. I expect a good chunk of fans will be from Pittsburgh, like always.. Should make for some interesting crowd noise. Send them 'dirty-towel' waiving fanatics back down the 90 or 219 unhappy. With our Canadian Bills Mafiosi unable to cross the border, I think that released a bunch of season tickets to the market place and there are likely to be even more Steelers fans present than there would have been otherwise.

Process Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Reading the Steelers message board they are very concerned about their secondary, specifically covering the slot. If Watt is out or not himself, I don't see how they stop us. Allen will be be able to sit back and pick them apart. I think the Bills put up a ton of points in this one. Bills 38-21.

I’m really curious to see what Epenesa is going to look like this year. Been many reports of him blowing things up and having a bit of an attitude/swagger to him this TC. Sounds like he may have finally settled in after a quiet rookie year. And Ed Oliver has looked pretty good as well. Getting a lot of push from the middle. If they can get some good DE production it’s gonna really be on this year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A much improved pass rush and a better D gameplan to slow down KCs O Is paramount to obtaining the Lombardi imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
