Steelers bring back James Pierre
- Thread starter KStilley
- Start date
They have several safeties that are basically slot corners… they just don’t have that guy that can ply inside and outside

Kazee is the only one capable of defending the slot against the pass. But if you move him there's no strong safety.
I like Pierre's progression. Star. No chance . Maybe a solid starter. Decent chance.
At worst good depth. Hopefully Edmunds and a few others follow suit.
This is an excellent signing. Pierre highly underrated.

Maulet played a ton of slot CB last season… Tre Norwood has gotten looks there too, but Maulet played 45% of the defensive snaps last year… mostly at slot corner…that was 3rd highest among cbs… When Witherspoon went down, sutton’s slot time decreased a bit…

Maulet was horrible in pass defense, I hope he is the 5th CB
The more i see film on Branch, the more I can see him killing it at Slot like Hilton. Guy can get after the QB FAST!

i think the opposite.
Pierre did have star written all over him. But he f*cked up i think three times and the coaches benched his ***. Pierre is not very solid or consistent.
Then they they signed like 3 corners that were perhaps just as good as him at times and are much more consistent/ solid.
Good signing for backup depth - i agree Pierre is only an outside coverage guy and he needs to be way more solid/consistent.
Those 3 times when Pierre became Pepe Le Pew.

Yeah he might've been torched for a few long touchdowns catches.

I think Pierre can help and makes us a better team, whether cooooch is happy or not.
Salute the nation
James Pierre had the 6th best rating allowed by CB's in the NFL last year.
Repeat: THE SIXTH BEST IN THE NFL.
Oh, he gave up TD passes? Ho-lee ****, cut the guy! I don't recall any other CB in Steelers history giving up TD passes.

He wants to be a Steeler. Loves Tomlin and Fitz. Highly doubt that happens.
Not to downplay him in any way. Just speaking in general as far as any CB rating goes they never factor in if a corner went against a teams number 1,2,3, etc. WR. So I think that should factor in somewhat when seeing a positive or negative evaluation...
Good signing..
Dont know what the hesitation for a longer term deal for this kid is?
He needs and deserves more PT IMHO..

I think his game against the Iggles and Brown might rival that of Ike and Demarius Thomas, that one time that Tebow played in the playoffs; maybe my memory is off.
Other than that stinker, all good.
I like him but like Clark Phillips III better
resigning Lamar Jackson's cousin, James Pierre, who is Lamar Jackson's cousin, was a good move to resign Lamar Jackson's cousin.
Two different type players. I think they both have attributes to become good pros.I like him but like Clark Phillips III better
I thought Pierre was related to a famous football player. Guess not.
