NOT a chance in hell that they should even consider bringing back Derrick Watt, brother or not……..
You bring him back and you take a better suited player off the roster and he isn’t worth that possibility.

As little as the FB truly was used, Hayworth can pick that job up fully.

Exactly! this offense, like it or not, is predicated on motion with H-Back or slot WR. There is no need for a Fullback. With the NFL teams building lighter and faster defenses, I'd love to see an OC build a big, ugly, Offense. Can you imagine Bettis or Alstot in today's game? It would look like those videos where the mascots play pee-wee football players. THAT is entertainment!

If Watt is full healthy I definitely expect lore than 12. He in my eyes is DPOY 3 of the last 4 seasons.

If you take out the injury year and say that the record tying season is a once in a career year then I would say 14 sacks from TJ if healthy is a reasonable number. Highsmith in my opinion is just coming into his own. and a 12-16 range is a reasonable guess. But lets say he gets 12 sacks. 26 sacks from your ends is an awesome number.

That's where I'd be betting too.

I appreciate that nobody here immediately bumped tge “ Leveon Bell apologizes” thread then started a “Steelers sign RB Bell” thread about them signing Greg Bell… I assure you that there are sites that savagery happened instantaneously with the signing

To me between 200 and 250 yards with a strong run game and an aggressive and opportistic defense is pretty tough to beat. But they must get significantly better in red zone. Field goals are three points closer to losing.

I’d venture to guess that the winning percentage of teams rushing for 200+ yards is .900+.

Sask2 was talking about 200-250 yards passing plus a strong running game, circa 2005 Steelers.

Actually going back to 1950 its more in the .800’s… but still pretty damn effective lol…

There goes that idea!

Getting a little testy out there.

Great catch. OPI. Peezy JR was right there. These two young bucks are going to be at eachother all training camp.

Yep definitely good battles to watch.

 

[Shane Falco]

Awesome catch. I agree OPI. JPJ had him smothered and covered like Waffle House hash browns

That’s twice NOW I’ve read Pickems and OPI. He needs to settle down and focus on proper technique Without OPI.

Remember, you need to practice how you play and OPI isn’t how he should be playing………….

There was one play where a d-line guy was offside giving Mitch a free play and he lofted it up, and Washington came down with it for the TD.


Definitely some RedZone possibilities with this one.

Washington stonewalled Watt twice today. This team is going to be as physical as they've been in a very long time.

I like Kenny, I hope he has a great career but my mind goes to statistical odds. It has zero to do with Kenny the player. How many teams in the league have ever gone from a hall of fame 2 time superbowl winner to another great QB. It just doesn't happen, it almost can't happen. How many teams have never had a great QB let alone 2 consecutive. The only example of 2 good QB in a row I could think of is Favre to Rodgers.
At 42 I realize I've seen the best QB I'll ever see in black and gold and if we never win another in my lifetime I will still feel lucky to have the memories #7 gifted us.

Bingo…

 

[bermudasteel]

Luck also was the only player I have ever seen that was going to be the first overall pick but passed to stay in school to just improve his draft stock. Guy was a can't miss prospect that after the Manning injury pushed him out the door in favor of maybe the best prospect I have seen in my life at QB.

Watch Bryce Young this year. Same scenario…

I have a boner…

 

[slashsteel]

I have a boner…

I think both players are going to have some good moments this season. We are talking varsity players here obviously.

Offensive Pass interference.. face mask for the last 10 yards.

I just don't know about this guy. What the hell are we going to yell out when he makes a great play?

Waassshhh!!?? Nope...

Darn!!!!??? Nope....

Hi, my name's Larry, this is my brother Darnell, and that's my other brother Darnell. Nope

I really have no idea how he'll succeed as a tight end in the Burgh. I'm thinking trade at this point.

I'm really not sure about this DIC. Have you discussed this with Art? I don't think he'll go for it. I mean the kid has talent but,,,, I'm just sorry we were not consulted with earlier.
