Exactly. In 2017 the Steelers ran the wheels off of Bell. 321 carries. They did this despite the fact that they had future pro-bowler James Conner sitting on the bench averaging 4.5 ypc. Why did...
I don't think that Conner gets the blame for the bad running game. IMO he is a good back. In four years he has not averaged less than 4 YPC in a year once, and that is behind an OL that has ranged...
Tough call on this. I think that the team is happy and comfortable to take one of the two runners. The question is who do they like in that next tier? This might be the key. If they also have their...
I think without doubt that it is option 2. I think that regular posters on message boards such as this are very informed, yet I could not give you a scouting analysis of why player A is this much...
A combination of constant injuries and timely fumbles is not good for a feature back.
I have seen a bit of Fields, but not enough to give a prediction on his long term future - whether he is the next Mahomes or Rosen...but.
Unless the Steelers do think he is the next Mahomes, I...
Early on in FA, people were worried that we had lost 5 of 12 possible starters.
As of now....
2 starters have returned
1 of the starters is being replaced by the man who started the last 5...
I'm happy for him that he landed somewhere. Good guy, good story. I will cheer for him when I see him playing for Arizona in a game where I have no other rooting interest, but I am happy, and...
This would be the kind of trade where half way through the season I could see a thread going up titled "we need a dynamic receiver".
Oh ya? Name one! :D
First round RB may be a short term investment, but if you were told that you can have five years of a Derrick Henry at #24 and then move on is it worth it? I'd be willing to bet that if you charted...
I think that this would be a great signing. Anybody who is judging Williamson by what he showed during half a season as a Steeler is not judging him correctly. Williamson was a good ILB as a Titan....
I think that any new C coming in will find himself in a good spot. The Steelers are a franchise that historically places high importance on the position, but currently and recently has had a very low...
I think that it is a leap to say that making an offer to AV to return on an obviously low offer (not a sniff from anyone else yet this offer isn't enough to make him sign) is anything other than as...
A rookie does not have to dominant in order to be an improvement over Maurkice Pouncey 2020. Or the two tackles from last season. Add to that the expectation that DD is going to be better (if we go...
I see what you are saying but I think that it is the classic chicken or egg situation. Was Ben afraid to do anything that required him to hold onto the ball because he was afraid of getting hit...
I think that the biggest problem with the OL in the RF offense is that they just lined up and let the D settle in to what they were facing. Very straightforward. I got you, you got me. In one thread...
Most guys don't really have that much insight into each player. It is fun to see in later rounds how the picks we make early change who we have available to draft later.
Has there been any news on whether or not Duvernay Tardif will be returning?
You have to keep in mind that while there has been testing done on these vaccines, no other vaccine has ever been rolled out this quickly, so what we are really in right now is what would be the...
Living in Toronto, we can only envy those states that currently have a freedom of movement. We are now (again) in a 30 day partial lockdown. In February I was in the US to help with a relative who...
I used to do something different, I haven't done it for a few years. I'd do a poll for each round with a list of players available. Voting would be for a couple of days and then we'd lock in the pick...
Especially after trading up to take him.
Disagree with the word reluctant. Back in the day when the Steelers were fielding a top D every year, and were set at almost every position, they were not drafting players to even compete to start. I...
