At what point do we talk secondary?

[Skott]

Troy is loved, but he's lost his mojo..

Allen is a mess..

Gay is small and can't cover the 6'5 guys..

We missed some good CB's in the draft....that can not be ignored..


Enough is enough...


Im sick and tired of LeBeau's play 10 yards off and give up the 3rd and longs.... Either play to win, or let them score and give it back to your offense.

It's getting old...

 

[steelbush]

Cortez is the main problem....I know Gay got beat at the end. But Cortez gets consistently burned, is soft when it comes to tackling and coverage every week, and was responsible for the big gainer at the end. On the bright side we just extended his contract. AGAIN....who the **** is evaluating the talent on this team.

its not just the secondary, we are paying worilds 9 million to win a one on one battle at some point.

Hey look on the bright side we got Dri Archer in the 3rd round. The fastest guy at the NFL Combine! A Kickoff return specialist!! He's got a great pedigree!!!

Once the NFL votes to move the kickoff from the 35yd line back to the 30 we might actually be able to see him return one!

What scares me is he'll probably get another offer from us at seasons end.

sounds just about right. Can't let him get away. Is Spaeth due for a raise? Lock his lanky, can't block or catch ***, too.

 

[SteelerFan448]

Secondary will look bad when the QB has all day to throw. They need better talent at CB and OLB.

 

[JJ_Steel]

You mean the secondary we continue to ignore in the draft ?

 

[Steeltime]

"At what point do we talk secondary?"

"Talk the what ... ???"

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

I hate to say it, but damn Troy has looked his age this season. Missing tackles, terrible flags, dripping balls...etc. I know he might be trying to do too much but I just don't know anymore with him.

The rest of our secondary. Hmm. No idea what to say, are they that terrible, is it the def scheme, no fn pressure? It will be interesting next year when someone new is calling the shots in def.

 

[jsc2536]

secondary has been a issue for 3 years, dumb **** & Colbert have chosen to ignore via the draft and FA. I only thank god the first cancer/problem has gone down and is out...Swagger, next up is to bench Troy, he is wasting a spot on the field, just running around and coming in at the end of plays doesn't help anything.
BTW Tomlin's speciality is the secondary...hmmm ya think any connection to being a horrible HC???

Pick your poison: No CBs or no pressure on the QB. This defense sux. When is the last time your heared Troys name mentioned outside of game introduction?

 

[Stlrs4Life]

We were too worried about replacing a LBer, but not worried enough about replacing Ike Taylor!? Tomlin needs to go.

"Personal foul, number 43, fifteen yards."

The problem is next year we will either have to draft a LB #1 for the 3rd straight year to make up for the Jarvis whiff and the stupidity of giving Worilds 9 million dollars based on a half season of play.

 

[hook]

If this current contingent of management is around for the next draft, they'll probably draft 3 more linebackers in the first 4 rounds.

extended 4 years 2 billion dollars

Secondary is 100% the biggest problem the Steelers have. We give ****** receivers 10 yard cushions as if they we Megatron. Troy is not making plays in the midfield to break up pass plays. He is playing way back in Centerfield. And yes, when we send in a blitz, we leave 1 or 2 receivers wide open. Way too many penalties too... Today's game was the most painful loss in a long time. I don't mind losing to the Rats nearly as much as losing to an awful team like Tampa.

 

[topseed]

Watching Keenan Lewis keep Dez Bryant in check all night makes me want to cry. Cortez was a good nickel/dime back, but he's not a starting cover corner in this league. Letting Lewis walk and signing this guy long-term is one of the front office's worst mistakes in recent memory. And there's quite a few of those to choose from.

 

[3 Hypocycloids]

The secondary is an issue, but it's exacerbated by the lack of pass rush. Both years we won the Super Bowl we had a great pass rush, the past few years there is no pressure up front which makes the back end more vulnerable.

 

[Steelmann]

I guess,fortunately I could not watch the game do to work. I try to remain positive,but this team is really in shambles. I really think the secondary has sucked for sure for 4 years,in fact if I was the opposing team I would pass against us 90 percent. In the past we had a pass rush but we have not had that for 3 years as well. We just seem to have no direction what so ever. It is time to let the bugeyed mike go. I am starting to think it is almost time for a clean slate. Are we that far gone that it is time to let DL,and KC go as well? Obviously our esteemed OC has to go as well.

What a cluster ****

[STEELERS R GR8]

I believe our pass coverage is a problem but is it the guys pack there or is it cause the guys up front have no pressure? How could this same secondary look so good last week and look like a high school team this week.....pressure was the difference. The thing I see is as much as we all love Troy and I am one of them, he has lost at least one step. We don't have the guys behind him to step up and that is where the problem is starting.
Allen may end up being ok but he is not there yet and Gay is nothing more the a 3rd DB at best. Mitchell needs to step up and that would help a ton. The only guy up front that can get a little pressure is Heyward, maybe Diesel but we are getting nothing out of the LB's. Now before I start calling for coaches heads I would love to know who's decision it is to go into this season with what we have back there and knowing what we have there why it was so ignored in fa and the draft. I am not sure we are going to ever know who makes the decisions but I am not gonna blame MT or KC until I know who is pulling the strings.

Last before we keep piling on our defense and secondary lets not forget, all our offense had to do is get a 1st down and the game was over. The play calling was **** there and with all the talent we have there we couldn't manage 1.......ONE first down????? That needs to be put into the blame game as much as our secondary, jmo!

 

[SteelChip]

I believe our pass coverage is a problem but is it the guys back there or is it 'cause the guys up front have no pressure?

Yes, next question...
