WAY Too Early Roster Prediction...

[SteelerInLebanon]

I can see that about the two QBs, but when the owner says "vet" player, something might lean towards Mason's continuance here.

I truly hope MM keeps who he thinks can help this team currently and in the long run, even if just for one season.

They hired McCarthy to find the long term QB. Mason is not the long term QB. IF Howard and Allar show anything they will be the guys kept. McCarthy is working with them directly and letting the OC run the 1st team today. That tells me he is invested in the young guys. Hell they could possibly keep all 4 but I doubt it.

They were one of the worst tackling teams last year and I can't say I watched too many games where the Steelers asserted themselves against the other team. Win the line of scrimmage and dominate the run game is how to be a tough, physical team. I also don't think too many teams tackle in camp, it's just the way things are now.

According to PFF we weren’t the worst we were exactly average at 16 in missed tackles rate. We just judge more harshly based on a proximity bias. We follow them more than other teams and tend to exaggerate the good and the bad more than reality.

Be interesting to see the tackling rate amongst position groups per team

When mccarthy was at green Bay he put both Rodgers and arth through his camp....one became a hofer and one became a coach.....he's gonna put all through it......its great nevertheless but not an indication he is making a astatement about either guy.......but let's hope one becomes a coach and one becomes a hofer

I think part of the failure was scheme and personell.......things like benton at NT and losing gap integrity rushing rhe edge rushers around the corners on run plays and stuff like that. I don't think any of these guys cant tackle well on the line if we put them in a position to succeed

Are you saying today I’m a figment of my imagination………………. Hahahhhhaaaaaa


You are right Lebanon, we fans (especially this site) are so passionate about are Steelers that we magnify everything. The good is overly and the bad is overly stated many fold here.

It’s OK because that is what fans do.

Many of us here do realize our intensity and do look at things more in the real, once we settle down and think about it.

I wear things ragged on my short sleeve, but then do eventually come back to my senses.

Love the camaraderie here.!!!

Don’t go making me all philosophical. I think therefore I am and all that. Is it all a dream? If so why am I so demented I would dream up Coolie and Supe.

I think that the demented portion of your current desires come from the Fandimification and shielded childhood you grew up with.

As a child on Saturday mornings you watched the TV channel your mom set & cartoons that were on.

As you aged (around 10-12 yrs old), you sneakedly were able to change the channel and one click right………. Came on the Coolie & Supe show / cartoon………… YOUR mom caught you but those 3 1/2 minutes affected you to this day……

Follow the light, it’s the only way to find yourself free of those 3 1/2 minutes you so craved those many years ago…….

Good Luck and always remember if Lunar extends a helping hand,….. he is only trying to get social security and credit card number from you.!!!

Pro Football Reference had the Steelers at 30th in 2025. I guess it shows missed tackles is a subjective stat.

One could be based on raw number of total missed tackles, one could be based on missed tackles as a percentage of total tackle attempts.

My SS # is 111-11-1111 and my master card is 1111 2222 3333 4444 the expiration is 12-34 and the pin is 789... will that help?

There is tackling and physicality. You can be a good technical tackling team without a lot of de-cleat hits that mostly draw penalties anyhow. But you have to work on the phases of tackling and reherse the techniques.
