Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
No way. He has always been overrated to begin with and now he isn't even what he once was. There is a reason SF dumped him; he isn't effective anymore. He once had some decent speed with his immense size. Now, all he has is immense size, with no speed which equates to a tackling dummy who stands up for a while as 5 defenders hit him. Kind of like the entire career of Ron Dayne. Just say no to BJs. There is also a reason Coughlin didn't try to keep him in NY. As I said in another thread, huge backs are only good for a few seasons, other than Bettis, who is the all-time exception of a big back with longevity.
Steelers 2015 Draft???....Go Freak! As in....
1-Bernardrick McKinney MLB Mississippi State 6 ft 5 250 4.5 40 yard dash
QB-Matt Moore - Yes, underrated back up who can win games.
RB-Mike Goodson - Yes, a pretty versatile big back who produces.
WR-Devery Henderson - Not sure I would pay much for him. Draft pick cheaper and as good.
TE-Ben Watson - Too old for my tastes. But I'd take him over freaking Pope, for sure.
OL-Phil Loadholt - Guy is massive. Would love him but will be too pricey for Pgh's tastes.
DB-Tracy Porter - Good player, will be too rich for Pgh's tastes.
Would add a few other FA options:
Kevin Smith RB Detroit
Domenik Hixon WR NY Giants
Chris Cooley TE Washington
Brandon Albert OT/OG Kansas City
Roy Miller DT Tampa Bay
Pat Sims DT Cincinnatti
Ron Brace New England
Gary Guyton LB San Diego
Victor Butler OLB Dallas
The people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?
Light up the darkness.
2024 Draft
1. Jackson Powers-Johnson OC
2. Ruke Orhorhoro DT
3. Khyree Jackson CB
3. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint WR
4. Jordan Travis QB
6. Jordan Jefferson DT
Has he EVER been healthy for a whole season?Would add a few other FA options:
Kevin Smith RB Detroit
Domenik Hixon WR NY Giants - Probably cost more than they will be willing to spend.
Chris Cooley TE Washington - Already cut and no one signed until Skins lost TE. Must be for a reason.
Brandon Albert OT/OG Kansas City - Has this guy panned out? I know he didn't earlier.
Smith certainly seems to carry the injury bug, and will have to be checked out, but he won't be in high demand, and wouldn't be asked to carry the load in Pittsburgh, just be part of the rotation.
Not sure what kind of market Hixon will demand- there are a few bigger name WR's on the market, and Hixon is the 3rd/4th WR in New York. He fits the bigger WR need in Pittsburgh though.
Cooley's problem is that he's older than teams want. With Miller coming back from injury, the Steelers might need a reliable pass catcher at TE early in the season.
Albert is an OG playing at OT. Move him back to OG, reckon you get yourself a steal. Plus- wasn't he drafted by our OC?
