Damn 3rd string qb week 1
Ab out week 2.

AJ Brown is Ab in this scenario, right???

 

[IndySteel]

Tua got scratched for the game.

Hopefully we see an aggressive D at times ...attacking from different areas.....at times.....moving players around ......at times.......perhaps. Maybe we are at a different time of times?......Sunday will give us the answer? I suppose.

Hopefully the O-line shows up and the defense can stop the run?
I bet they come to regret cutting Elandon Roberts vs Atlanta run game. Tall order stopping Robinson, just hope he doesn't go for 150 and 2

If Cooper Rush gets 3 seconds to make a throw, he’ll be ok. Probably better than Tua. All he needs to do is manage the game.

Yes, I get it, new coaching staff. But I cannot simply toss off 19 years of conditioning and I still expect a #3 QB, hell a guy pulled out of the stands, to light up the defense for 300 yards and multiple TD's.

I hope that changes Sunday but the never-ending examples of just that occurring makes me hold back on any optimism.

Its Patrick Gram first game as DC in Pittsburgh. He doesn't want to be embarrassed.

The good news is we no longer have the Tomlin/Austin or Tomlin/whoever combo running the D,

Any combo involving Tomlin could always make a backup QB look like a future HoFer…it was truly magical.

Same here. Mine goes beyond the 19 years when Bill Cowhers teams would lose to Kelly Holcomb and flash and the pan quarterbacks as well. To me, that carried into the Minecraft Mike era. I hope those days are over. Hopefully the pass rush can get into Cooper’s head early and often and gives him the spooks the whole game
