phillyesq replied to a thread Does Bell Really Want a Long Term Deal? in Steelers Talk

The sooner the better. Would love to get rid of Directv and would happily pay a large price to just stream the games I want to see.

As for the ratings, isn't there also an issue where Sunday ticket isn't included?

phillyesq replied to a thread Does Bell Really Want a Long Term Deal? in Steelers Talk

Remember, after taxes, agents, etc., he's looking at closer to $15 million. And I don't get the sense that he lives frugally. Not chump change by...

Seriously. How about ranking Artie Burns over Joe Haden? Give me a break.

phillyesq replied to a thread PFF Grading of our roster in Steelers Talk

He allowed one sack with only 2 holding penalties. That's pretty good. I don't think Pouncey is elite, but I think he's really good. He is great...

phillyesq replied to a thread Looking at Linebacker Depth in Steelers Talk

We saw this last year with Harrison. A veteran "depth" linebacker who isn't going to play special teams won't get a hat on game day. If a starter...

Me too. I preferred Tremaine to Evans. I thought his speed and athleticism would be a great fit in the middle of the defense.

Those guys would make sense, but only if they were going to be a starter. If the Steelers weren't going to sign Kendricks for $3.5 million, I think...

That surprised me, too. His best attributes are his instincts / ability to diagnose plays and his tackling - he is a very solid, wrap-up tackler. I...

Nobody really criticizes anybody in OTAs, but that doesn't mean that positive reports are without merit. Mike Hilton got a lot of buzz last year...

Unfortunate for both guys. It sounded like McGee had a real chance to push for the #3 TE position. The depth at TE is paper thin now, with only the...

I don't get the point of signing Reid at all. The Steelers already have 5 safeties who are likely to make the roster. Last year, Reid was moved to...

That's a really odd rule, but I suppose that it balances out allowing teams to keep one more player on the practice squad.

I'm sorry - I meant play him in 2019 on the fifth year option. And unless he improves drastically, that is significantly more than Dupree is worth.
