    This Is A Serious Worry

    CMC faced 8 in the box a staggering 68% of his rushes and yet had 152 yards rushing at 6.9 yds/att.

    Heyward with a groin could end up a season long ailment so they can't rely on him to suddenly turn things around.

    Adams was ineffective (not surprising to me... thought he should have been cut). Loudermilk is awful. Larry O again injured. What was a strength is suddenly looking awfully weak. I'd bench Adams and bring up Fehoko until Heyward is 100%.

    Chubb is already licking his chops for next week.

    It's a worry for sure. But if the offense can't put up more than 7 points and possess the ball for more than 20 minutes, it's not going to matter much.

    Time to bring Fehoko off of the practice squad. At least he's a legit 2 gapping NT.

    Another AS masterpiece.

    Benton will need to grow up quick. Got some reps yesterday with banged up Heyward, Leal n Ogunjobi.

    Well lucky for us Watson is not Purdy. So we won't have to worry as much when he have 8 men in the box vas the pass. San Fran is better coached as well. I think our run D is okay.
    The Steelers had a great draft in 2023. However better play calling / coaching is badly needed. Tomlin is hasn't won a playoff game in six years and counting. Nor has hired anyone good to his coaching staff. Think about that. Mike Tomlin says, " hell yeah we've got to make some changes. " We are waiting. But Khan and Weidl appear to have better management on the salary cap and focused on the right free agents and draft needs.

    You have 8 in the box and you allow 6.9 yds/att rushing and you think the run D is okay?!? Ok then.

    But wait..we had posters saying Purdy wasn't legitimate. These posters said Purdy was a fraud.
    From the 2011-2022 season,(A 12 year period that the majority of Cowher's players & coaches had left) Mike Tomlin has only won 3 playoff games. And two of those wins were against back up Quarterbacks. Currently, Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in 6 years.

    Your right NC. Browns have lost a LT thou. That will help. But there's no doubt we are going to get a heavy dose of Chubbs on Monday nite. Now that we've established ourselves as the # 32 run defense in the league. And the play action pass off of that could be lethal.

    I wasn't one of those posters but here is what I saw yesterday. I saw Purdy throwing to many wide open receivers. He did have some plays he needed to make, and some reads too, but typically when he passed (especially on third downs) the window was not a tight one.

    And this is in no way meant to be an excuse for Pickett. Pickett was awful.
