Steelers playing for more than pride against Browns

[flippy]

The outcome of this game will matter as much as a preseason game. Winning or losing doesn't make a difference to me. What I hope to see is effort. I want to see young guys playing for their future.

We got to see Willie Parker get his first meaningful work in a game that didn't matter. And he produced. He made the game enjoyable. Perhaps this could be a moment for Worilds, Heyward, Rainey, Paulson, Victorian or a guy like Cortez to have another big week and start making a case that he should be our #1 CB.

Will old guys go out an prove they still have it and football matters to them. We can learn which older guys still have something in the tank. If guys like Casey, Foote, Max, etc. go out and give everything they have in a meaningless game, the Steelers may use that in their decision process of who to bring back next year.

Could a malcontent like Wally or Mendy show us something. Could they tell us they haven't mailed it in?

There's lots to look for in this game. But winning doesn't matter.

Losing actually gets us a better draft pick. Winning gets us nothing but a false sense of accomplishment.

Wally mailed it in long ago. He is playing not to get hurt.
I would play Worilds and sit Woodley. Woodley has done nothing to show he earned starting over Worilds. He needs a message sent to him.

Let some young players start and lets see what we have.

Woodley would get the last laugh sitting on millions in the bank while warming the bench. That's what sucks about guaranteed money.... it doesn't guarantee performance.
