TD716 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) We need our DT’s to hold the line. Poona and Settle are just ok. We cannot have Poona, settle and epenesa in at the same time against a run first offense. Edited January 13 by TD716 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I agree, we need to elevate an extra DT for Sunday. The Steelers will be running 60+% of the time. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably conservative. They might run 90%+. Mac Jones threw 3x in weather like this. It's not like Rudolph is that much better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Positive Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 He’s on the 53. He’s just been inactive since DQ has been back. But with Rapp and Davis out the roster spot is most certainly there for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnCoke11 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 He will be. There’s not going to be much passing at all. It’s a shame the weather is going to be so severe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If either team can take a two score lead (10-0 or better), the other team will be in deep doo-doo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Make Settle inactive, Poona has been trending upwards so keep him in the rotation but if there was ever a game where you need to big time run stuffers its this one. I like Settle he is a nice rotational DT but he is more of a penetrator than a run stuffer in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriorspikes51 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I agree and especially because he’s had a few weeks off. A front 4 of Rousseau, Linval, DaQuan and Oliver could be really tough to run against Unfortunately, this staff seems to have a ton of faith in Settle so I don’t expect it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Settle he is a nice rotational DT but he is more of a penetrator than a run stuffer in my opinion. Agree when they were bringing Ford in that was one of the things they talked about was his low center of gravity with him being a shorter fella he was very hard to get under him so he usually won on taking on the oppositions line . My vote is for Ford & Joseph this week sit Settle . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Seems like the right guy for this type of game D Quan should be the main guy, but Joseph should be following up right behind him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billzgobowlin Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I'm pretty sure you will see all 5 DTs active maybe even taking Taylor Rapp's spot. There is no doubt that they are going to try to run up the middle. If we stop that the game hopefully will be over fast. 8 hours ago, T master said: Agree when they were bringing Ford in that was one of the things they talked about was his low center of gravity with him being a shorter fella he was very hard to get under him so he usually won on taking on the oppositions line .
