To no one’s surprise, TJ Watt and Cameron Heyward have been named to the team. Both have had incredible years and were absolute no brainers for the selection. Watt tied the all-time sack record this season with 22.5 in 15 games played, pacing the league. He also led the league in tackles for loss with 21. To go with those, he has 39 QB hits, 64 total tackles, 5 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries, and 7 passes defended. He is strongly believed to be the front runner for Defensive Player of the Year. This is Watt’s third straight First Team All Pro selection.






Heyward had a fantastic year as well. He was arguably the most dominant interior defensive lineman in the league, sans Aaron Donald. Heyward put together a campaign which included 10 sacks, 15 TFL, 17 QB Hits, 89 total tackles, 1 forced fumble and recovery, 9 passes defended, and 1 absolutely ridiculous interception. This is Heyward’s 3rd First Team selection in the last five seasons. He has arguably been the soul of this defense with the effort he puts forth every snap.



We congratulate both of these tremendous players on this huge accomplishment. We will need them to be at their best going into a Wild Card Playoff showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday. They will look to show why they were named All Pro’s in this exciting matchup.

Cam and Trent Jordan building those HoF resumes.

Well deserved. Cam is so under appreciated by national media/fans. Love to see them give him the credit he so deserves.

It's astonishing the Steelers can have these two, plus Fitzpatrick, and still have the types of struggles they've had defensively as a team.

Not having Tuitt and Haden slowing down and playing through injuries hasn't helped.

It is a good thing that 10 mil was put to good use when Tuitt and Alu went down... Oh wait...

I'm still bummed we couldn't get one of them back this season.

This actually got me thinking: would you guys rather have JuJu or Tuitt back for Sunday? Hearing JuJu practicing was a nice surprise, Anyone wish it was Tuitt instead?

I go old school

I would settle for ............. one Lambert 'n a Ham ........... is worth more than ... Tuitt 'n a Bush

to answer your question ...give me some good Juju

 

[steelhurt]

Good, very well deserved for both players. Now TJ better get DPOY or this award is full of ****.

Dollar earns you bean, I raise you a Joe Greene if you know what I Mean. With a side of what cha gone do... with a fly by Polamalu....and in that moment perhaps the wheels will turn on the Bus, stay with me Gus. I'll be the Hines Ward of the I state, pour in some Foster I'll go bananas..and we'll call it a date. The time will be Sunday 815 pm. Who knows Watt we'll be see'm.

Nope… Juju all the way. My opinion, we won’t see Tuitt play again.

No. Juju WANTS to play, Tuitt wants to get paid for doing nothing. I don't want anybody near the sidelines who doesn't want to be there.

In closing, **** Tuitt.

I would venture to say Tuitt would be the lesser of the two to actually be ready to play should both have been brought off IR. JuJu seems more game ready where as Tuitt has been MIA his near entire time, home eating BonBons while watching Married with Children.





Salute the nation

Deserved and well earned. Congratulations to both. Glad the real one included both. Saw the PFF one that had Garrett over TJ which was utterly laughable.

So kind of the NO-hostage as Tuitt doesn't seem to want to even be on the side lines, syndrone.


JuJu sky is blue, Chiefs are late
Sunday night fight date

Cam the man pro bowl selection
Big Ben win the game mvp election

seperate ball and catch Fitzgerald run
Refs play fair even if named Ron Riveron

157 power run by Najee
Victory Ben takes a knee

win this game serious and sound
Coolie survives for another round
