Cam Heyward pectoral injury

Heyward posted to Instagram that hes done for the season.

RIP Steelers 2016 Defense.

It was dead with him on the field, gonna be a god damned sieve with him not on it. Think back to Miami putting 200 yards rushing on us, yeah we're that bad without Cam.
 
That certainly is a "BLOW" to the season. We have seen how much we struggle with out him and I'm NOT looking for a refresher course. I know there isn't much out there but is there JUST one guy to help us out????




Salute the nation
 
Man, this was supposed to be our season...just ******* imploded because of injuries and ****** tackling.

And terrible coaching that doesn't hold players accountable. If this is a torn pec (and other than a sprain, I don't know what else it can be) he is done for the season. Torn pecs are season enders. Par for the course with this team.

He's done for the year, he put it out on instagram.
 
Once again...I like my idea. The other DE's we have blow big time and the FO should have been drafting depth
 
It's a tear. If it was a sprain, his season would not be over. Now if he has surgery, he's 6mos before he can fully lift free weights.

Injury spreadsheet is up to date...

awelp! ain't this a pickle!

good thing we have treasure trove of depth to rely upon, our coaching staff has done a helluva job of selecting and coaching up every man on the roster to be buttoned down and able to fill the void, we'll barely skip a beat.

....oh wait....

so, to counter this, we'll sign some OG to the practice squad and promote a WR to active.
 
I don't understand. I know every team contends with injuries.

But this team, why is it ALWAYS our most important players? Why can't we just get through ONE season where our core makes it mostly through?

**** it, we're definitely not going to the playoffs now.
 
The problem is we have TOO MUCH MONEY tied up in too few players, that is what is killing our depth.

The fact that they are not drafting well just compounds the problem. We are playing the young guys, so at least we have film to evaluate on them going forward.

I vote for Piere-Paul, at least he has less fingers to worry about breaking...
 
Sigh. Doesn't even surprise me anymore.

Just another year of key injuries to key players at the worst time.

Has anyone tested the water in Pittsburgh lately?

I did and now I pulled my groin. Actually, it didn't feel too bad after I pulled and tugged on it.

I'll take Poe.
 
*sigh*


Too much injuries at crucial moments. This season was a let down. Just can't break away from bad luck this season
 
They should see who they can bring in........................


damn it mane
 
Is Woodley big enough to play DT now?
 
China Doll Steelers

oh well, put in some other stiff, the DL wasn't going to win any games for us anyway

Dontari Poe. Dude has proven to be a mountain in the middle and he's not having the greatest year, so perhaps he may not even come with a massive price tag.

Same problem last year. Deebo will retire after this season and they should make him the strength and conditioning coach. Whoever is doing it now isn't very good.
