Just want to point out that I was really wrong about Van Jefferson... the guy is a roleplayer... he has speed but doesnt use it great.. he is in there to block and run the right routes and that is it... may as well be a TE

Is he suppose to be our WR2? It's been several years since he's produced at that level. I still think he's in that WR3-5 mix of guys who the Steelers hope can catch fire any given week to be a second option behind Pickens. They don't have a true WR2 on the roster and this move didn't change that. However, I do agree they should work him some targets, even if it's some safe throws or a deep shot. Try something.
This offense is different with Jaylen Warren in the game. It’s good to have him back healthy.
The red zone plan. Van Jefferson does not belong as WR2 in the red zone when in passing situations. You got a book end use him. I get Russ throwing to Mt Washington where he did. Pickens or Williams would’ve made a play on that.
Hats off to the Ravens D. They had 10 days to prepare for this game. The game next month will be a slobber knocker

My bad, but then It was dark when I was typing and I couldn’t hear anything because I had sunglasses on.
Thanks for pulling me from the brink of the earth and I still got the Jefferson sitcom music in my head………
Salute the nation
Why aren't they using Friermuth more? Probably something stupid Saving him for KC or something goofy like that
I'm a little concerned that the offense seems to not be able to exploit glaring weaknesses of opposing teams. They couldn't run on the cowboys who were towards the bottom of the league in run defense...that includes being minus Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence. Every team before and after have seemed to whatever against Dallas, but not the Steelers.
They couldn't exploit a 31st ranked pass defense in the Ravens. Sure the Ravens grabbed Tre Davious White to help just before the trade deadline ,but that doesnt make them go from #31 to #1 overnight. You cant say its the AFC North/Rivalry. You had the Bengals put up 34 and 38 against them, and the Browns put up like 29. Joe Burrow had 9 TDs and 1 int in both the games. It's disconcerting to say the least.
It would be nice to see a Mike Williams sighting next game and a lot less Van Jefferson. This is definitely a need within the first two rounds in next year's draft.

Losing to the Cowboys is even suckier.

Ok, if I have to choose one, rather lose to the non division cowgirls.
Meh both the Ravens and the Cowboys played us after a ten day break where they changed up coverages and packages...
tge Ravens benched the guy they felt was the biggest culprit..
I rewatched that game... I think we will do better on O in the rematch... at this point I'm guessing Lamar jackson fakes an injury to miss the second game... the dude sits on the bench muttering to himself during steelers games... they cant be good for his mental health

I thought he may have some potential too based off his one decent year and the hope
That he was never used properly.
Then I thought maybe Fields just wasn’t seeing him, but surely Russ who gets WR1 and WR2 would get him going…turns out he may just be a WR4
If we’re looking for a WR to turn TE for the AS offense I vote Skowronek. Dude was blocking well and can play some solid STs. He seems to be a good role player find as a WR/TE.
The Bengals have 3 legit #1 WRs on their roster and 2 very good TEs. Add a QB that has longstanding chemistry with his true #1 WR = big passing games. We don't have that...
And that's no kap...
Thursday night is going to be a huge challenge..
Hope the cowboys loss is still the worst loss of the season after Thursday .

Dead ***, you're too old to be using that phrase.
You're a great guy - don't take it personal my maple syrup brother!!!Ok Berm. Noted. Kidd gloves have been taken off.
How many games ago was that? Nothing but Ws since
[/QUOTE]
I pointed out a distinct fact that took place in both games. I could care less how many games ago it was..doesn't mean it was fixed... or that it will be or can be. I just pointed out it's disconcerting. Capeche??

you mean capisci?
Ok...fair enough even though it doesn't explain why every other team was able to do the same that have about the same amount of chemistry and talent as the Steelers (i.e. Browns did it with Jameis and WRs less known) What about the run game against the Cowboys?
