Well the 2016 draft was better than the 2015 draft. Happy now?

Well yeah but he still should have been leaps and bounds above a "horrible" Davis shouldn't he?

Davis has had the worst 3-4 stretch of football from a starter that I've seen in a long time. Hopefully the game against Cleveland can help get things turned around for him.

Oh he hasn't been good of late, no doubt. He's a 2nd year player so I have some level of optimism that he will improve. If he doesn't show any, he won't see a 2nd contract. They definitely aren't afraid to move on from draft picks who don't work out. Time will tell.

I think Davis was fine against Gronk in the 1st half. But in the 2nd when everybody on the planet knew the cheaters were going to go heavy on the Gronk, I utterly fail to comprehend why Butler didn't consider doubling the giant oaf. Two of Gronk's plays were just frickin' amazing. I hate the ****** but, geez, the catch where the ball was about 4 inches off the ground was spectacular and the catch where he was simply blanketed and he reached up like a ******' oak tree over a bunch of children playing at the base and grabbed the ball for a 33 or 35 yard gain - what was Davis supposed to do about that? Gronk caught the ball at a dead run 18 inches above Davis' outstretched hands. That's just a factor of Gronk being a ******* mutant.
So... You Double the freak. You try to beat the **** out of him at the line and then you trail him and have somebody cover him deep. If you can't cover the ball you hit the ************ as hard as you humanly can, hopefully about the same time the ball gets there. That's pretty much it.
Playing physical at the line is difficult with him because he simply grabs you and throws you the left before he tears off downfield. (Which is why you should cover your jersey with vaseline. If he's going to grab you, let him get that **** all over his hands.)

Outside of using Davis as a blitzer, he’s raw meat in coverage.
The pass rush will need to cover for the awful Davis and Mitchell combination

A first or second round pick on a safety would help Sask.

He's regressed in year two, that's for sure. Let's hope he makes the jump next year, but safety is an area the Steelers will need to address next year.

Yeah..regressed.....wonder what's games are being watched. Due to Shazier's injury, he leads the team in tackles (71+), is tied with 50 in INTs(3) had three tackles today 1 sack, two SFL. Probably leading the team in SFL. His PD is 3rd on team until final stats are collated this evening by Stats Inc.
Seems to me he has the 3 intangibles oh wise and all knowing (hardly) Coach emphasizes....impact plays, SFL/PD/INT...which is in SS order. Not CB or FS.

Mitchell made his first play of the year. He pounced on a fumble. It was a good recovery. The rest of his play looked like poop. I watched his drops today at the stadium, I don't know what the F he is thinking out there...

Ok, so the guy's been getting toasted in coverage lately, even when you exclude Gronk.

Because you get penalized, fined and possibly ejected and suspended now for playing defense. You guys have bitched about him not changing his game the last few years, now that he has, you guys are bitching. Mitchell's game was the big hit, NOTHING else, you take that away from him and he is what we have now.
Im good with Davis. He gets beat. Everyone gets beat. But he makes some plays. If they havea FS on the roster who knows what to do I would give him a try. Mitchell just isnt fast enough to make up for his lack of instincts. He is simply late to the play too often. I really would have had a good look at someone else down the stretch.

Here’s an idea. Put TJ in coverage on Gronk. Smash him at the line every time.

Absolutely. With help behind. All day. Take away theor best matchup and then make them beat you with the others. And I think with Haden and Artie and Mike Hilton. Those are all wins.

Watt had seven sacks for the season. During the process of matching value with need for round one, TJ was my pick all the way during The “ Who we should take “ draft process.
I think he can be even better next year.

He went from a guy being at the point of the reception, to a guy nowhere near the reception. He's not changing his game, it's age and injury taking his ability to cover ground. And he's been dealing with that hamstring all damn year. He still isn't 100% and won't be this season, since he forces himself on the field each and every week without recovering.
Don't jerk yourself too hard Coach.
I picked the guy too, but I'm not going to spray the walls every time he does something good...

Mitchell did have a fumble recovery and I'll take that all day everyday. But that is it and MOST players I his position that isn't a special note in their production as they make more than one play per season........
