Steelers -bungals game thread #so it begins

[Gildong Sack]

It was a tongue-in-cheek post. I know that behind this OLine, ANY qb will struggle. But just imagine if Kenny did come in and light it up. His “legend” would’ve grown by leaps & bounds.

And he might have. Pickett might have run when the opportunities were there opening up the pass. I say that because if I have one criticism of Trubisky is early on I was screaming at the TV for him to just tuck the ball and run. If your run game isn't working, you have wheels, and your O-line is porous... RUN! A couple of times of that even if it's for 3 or 4 yards will make the pass rush hesitant. It just seemed like he was dying to prove he can be a good pocket QB. RUN! When he rolled out there were yards there he just wanted to hold the ball and throw even with no one open.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

good point.. I would also like to see him rolling out some time..

Where were all the bootlegs? That was driving me crazy, like why aren't we moving the pocket to play to his strengths

The Canada offense is lots of motion and play action ... in the preseason.

It was bizarre to say the least.

I liked the calls in the preseason, I was wondering where that was

 

[steelhurt]

Well my prediction earlier in the week was Steelers 24 Bengals 21 with Mitch throwing late TD. I got close with the score. I missed on Mitch though who imo looks very, very ordinary. That entire offense looks vanilla.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

vanilla? I think it looks like Poop.

 

[Troglodyte]

A torn pec is six months to a year recovery right?

Isn’t that the same injury JJ Watt had?

I think so

 

[bermudasteel]

I still think we should have kept conner and traded down to get Creed… najeh isn’t a guy who is so special he can run without an oline… he is talented, but wasted here right now

Love Conner but he has ball security issues...

 

[mightyguru]

Agreed. Vanilla is delicious and exotic...Canada's O thus far...nope.

 

[jiminoh]

On a positive note, it was good to see Claypool trying to be a team player and I thought he looked good. He's a serious weapon if he'll keep at it and not let attitude get in the way.

Meh still worth fixing the oline… we better use like three picks there next year

They did run that today - our WRs just had a hard time getting open...

Here is a doctor explaining what happened to his brother JJ a few years back

Tomlin is saving the good stuff for the playoffs. Don't want to show future opponents what we're truly capable of.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

This team is piss poor tacklers. The QB has more yardage than our running backs. This has just been a killer.

They Tackled well today. That was a great offense they played.

 

[Drink IRON City]

Playcalling seems the same. Third and short, gooo deeepp

NOT sold on O'Canada's offense, they didn't seem to be able to sustain a drive today. To many three and outs and not a lot of play selection.

Canada's offense can definitely work. But you need entirely different personnel.

You need a Renfrow & a Kupp along with a Robinson-like guy (take the top off). Pair that with some light-***, highly skilled technical pass-blocking pushers and a timing QB like Brady/Daniel Jones/Pickett. And then a space-filler at RB who just... will not fumble.

What the Steelers have:
All-Pro caliber RB,
weak & speed-demon interior OL,
midget WR playing incredibly small and somewhat good slot routes/ fantastic intermediate & over-the-middle deep possession threat Pickens/ unproven but tall Clay

and last but not least a 1,2 read, then zip it in under 2 seconds, QB Trubidor.

Total and utter mismatched on play-calling and strategy here.

GREAT, we have a 2 year OC that is installing an offense into personal we seem not to have. I guess we will need 6 takeaways in every game in order to have a shot at geting a "W".

His offense sucks. It doesn't fit any team because it's wheat are Ted.

They still treat the middle of the field like it's holy ground and they're vampires.

that one handed snag at the goal line was a hell of a catch

It really was wasn't it. He must of had "stick-um" on his gloves.................... and called for OPI........................ LoL
