Who is going to cover Jamar Chase

["BuzzNuter"]

Being a good football team and going 7-10 can turn on a dime. In the AFC North the Bengals are the team to beat. I am not worried about the Rats or the Stains. The last time we played the Bengals they beat us without Chase. We couldn't cover their WRs that game.

I know we picked up Peterson but he's old. I suppose JPJr is going to get the assignment. He's average speed for a CB so I assume he will jamb Chase at the line because Chase will blow by him. We can rely on the pass rush to move Burrow but that is contingent on TJ and Alex being healthy. The Bengals are my only concern in the division otherwise we have what appears to be an easy schedule.

Overlook the Ravens at your own demise. They are more talented than Pgh, top to bottom.

One player can't stop Chase. It's a good thing that the Steelers might have one of the best pass rushing units in the NFL. Getting to Burrow quickly will be the key to slowing the Cincy offense.

Yea, like we "slowed them down" to the tune of 37 points last time we played them. We really showed them. They could have scored 50+ if they wanted to.

You didn't slow anyone. You are not "we".

Different seasons bring different teams. The Steelers were 1-1 vs the Bengals in 2022.

Different seasons bring different teams into the equation. What happened last season..........

Pee Wee being Pee Wee.

We really "slowed down" Cinci to 37 points last meeting. Way to "slow them down." Yinzer.

Talent wise, no way, I would argue the Steelers have the most talent top to bottom in the division and yes that includes the Bengals.

Well then, why is no one taking them to win the div. then? They are being universally chosen for last.

Maybe if you equally weight positions. And even that is probably endowment bias because I like the guys we have better than guys we don't have.

But when you realize that QB is way more important than all the other positions, we're reasonably 3rd or 4th.

The bigger problem then is that Higgins is a legit WR in his own right. Who covers him??

I understand that Trice is also a press corner. I compare speed with speed. That's why I liked Gonzales in the draft. He ran 4.35 at the combine. I suppose you can't always base it on timed sprints.

I will eagerly await the matchup with the Bengals. If we can cover Chase then we are going to have a successful season because our other opponents don't have the passing attacks like Cinci.

Not universally, I will say it right now, we are the best team in the division and we will win the division.

[Blitzer]

I think the Steelers pick Cutsie son JP2 to cover receivers like Chase.

Admire the confidence. I can certainly see a path for this happening, but not going this far yet...

I'm just waiting for Dizzy to predict his 14-game winning season. :p

Pat P or Levi Wallace?

No way, from top to bottom the Steelers have the most talent in the division heading into this season. Sure QB's carry more weight but you are assuming Rookie Pickett is the same in his second year. So if Pickett takes the next step as I expect him to do, that QB gap becomes much smaller and the advantages we have at the other position groups will shine. This is the advantage of having a QB on his rookie deal.
