Post your mid season grades

[Coach]

STARTERS Grade Comment

OLB. Watt A+ Pro Bowl, perhaps the team MVP
FS. Fitzpatrick A+ All Pro, great trade. Perhaps the team MVP
K. Boswell A Comeback player of the year, Kickoffs prevent a higher grade
G. DeCastro A Pro Bowl
DE. Heyward A Pro Bowl
OLB Dupree A Sacks, are up, but so are tackles.
DE. Tuitt A Was in beast mode until he got hurt.
CB Haden B+ Solid, but lacking in Big plays
OT Villanueva B+ Having another good year
ILB Bush B+ Great playermaker, needs works on tackling, and so-so in coverage
C. Pouncey B Leads the OL in penalties, good on the move, not enough push in line
OT Feiler B Perhaps the most underated Steeler
P. Berry B Is having his best season as a Steeler
WR Smith-Schuster B More mistake-prone than usual, help back by Rudolph
FB Nix B- Great isolation blocker, and injury downgrades him
TE McDonald B- A red zone guy this year, his receptions and YPC are down
G. Foster B- Older but still solid. Finney is just as good
NT Hargrave B- Good vs the pass, so so vs the run
SS Edmunds C+ A better tackler this year, but hardly a difference maker
WR Johnson C Not bad for a rookie held back by QB play
RB Conner C A disappointment, went backward as a player, too injury prone
QB Rudolph C- The offense is reduced to check down plays with him passing
ILB Barron C- A disaster in some games



ROLE PLAYERS


CB Hilton B+ Great on the blitz ov vs the run, solid enough vs the pass
CB Sutton B+ A very good #3 or #4 corner, makes plays on the ball
ILB WIlliams B Brings much needed tackling ability and toughness to the Defense
G Finney B- Can start without any noticeable drop off
WR Washington B- Inconsistant player, but one who can make big plays
OT Banner C+ Good extra TE / Blocker
RB Samuels C+ Nice receving back, below average running back
LS Canaday C Consitant long snapper, not much in kick coverage
RB Edmunds C Tough to grade with just one game, has some upside
OLB Chickillo C Okay back up and special teams guy
RB Snell C- A power back, not much else
KR Switzer C- Only good at fielding the ball, poor return man

Coach,

Quantity.................................................. A+

Content.................................................. C

Reference and break down....................D-

Tape and visual analysis.........................G-

Comunication skills..................................D+

Rating and grading before draft...............C-

Hind site after draft ..................................A+ (for the obvious) .... F- (prediction with backed up analysis)

General decent hard worker, as told by himself. Argumentive with no factual input. Slow / small head / no speed



Does take a shot and keeps coming back for more.



EDIT: Just a little fun along the way at your expense Coach. It takes all of us to make this the greatest
STEELERS board on the planet. I thank each and everyone who contributes, both in money and posts.






Salute the nation

FB Nix B- Great isolation blocker, and injury downgrades him

Not bad for 2 games, and not a single complete game yet...

LS Canaday C Consitant long snapper, not much in kick coverage

Forgot LSers have to lead the team in ST tackles... I laughed out loud on that one!

Seriously though, pretty good listing. I disagree on a few, but most are pretty well assessed. I'd downgrade Washington and upgrade Samuels due to his versatitily, but that's just me. And Washington has passed JuJu as our team's best blocking WR this season. He's killing people out there.

 

[BLITZ]

I would flip flop Conner and Washington Conner a B and Washington a C. Snell probs gets a B. He has performed well when given the chance. Heyward to A+ he is playing lights out.

Where the **** is Stephen Nelson? You know the other CB whose name is hardly mentioned. I suppose you think that’s a bad thing.

You are making fun of what someone makes a year? What are you 12?

You know what Coach? I’ve been making a six figure income for years and years, but I would never ridicule another human for making 35k.

I was fortunate enough to get an advanced education but not all our folks are that lucky. One should never,ever ridicule another. There are plenty of hard working folks making peanuts but they have my respect for grinding it out.

That’s bullshit Coach and as someone mentioned, that’s something I would expect from some punk kid who doesn’t know any better.

I'm not gonna slam Coach on his grading views. It's a free country soooo...

I didn't agree with a few of them. The differences have already been stated, but Coach, man, c'mon. Your comment was waaaaay out of line and you need to go reflect on it.

BGB, is a good dude and he slams you because you literally leave a door open in 99% of your posts (i.e. you even had misspelled word in your 'shot' at him).

Fix it...

The guy goes out if his way to troll my posts. He’s the guy always starting. Since the mods tolerate that stuff I chose to change the narrative. Most forums I’ve read ban trolls like this. Not here.

For the record I appreciate people who work hard and treat others with respect regardless of what they do. This guy is a low IQ mean spirited person looking to be negative.

If he can change his tune and stop trolling I’ll apologize. I doubt he will.

You're a self aggrandizing TMC wanna be with a fetish for everyone to "look at me". I don't bother people 99% of the time.. But you think Troys head size would cause him to fail. Never admitted that it was idiotic. I learned enough about you a long time ago.

And I really don't want your apology. It's just something you'll find a way to pat yourself on the back about. Besides, what you said was baseless, as is most of your posts.

 

[BLITZ]

going back to the original post. Coach, thank you for putting this together. I have put the few changes I would make, but was to lazy to do something like this by myself. thank you for doing so.

Offense......D
Defense.......B

Coach, most of us don’t even know one another on this site so how can you make the claim that he has a low IQ? Please don’t tell me you’re judging this man’s mental capacity from a football board.

Nobody trolls you coach they slam you for your bullshit negative fictional ***-essments of whatever player holds your agenda for the day/week/month. You view posters that slam you for having a low IQ, some irony there as your football IQ borders on mentally challenged. Oh this 40 time, oh this statistic,oh this head circumference, oh this draft site, oh this YouTube highlights, oh this chest bump, oh get the **** over yourself you mental midget.
