Steelers 2012: Lawyers Gone Mad

[Jooser]

Jeeeez! I hope your typing fingers get syphilis and rot off. Who let you back in here?

[Crash]

LOL That's not a nice thing to say.

[Jooser]

...and do you ever have anything nice to say? I have a better avatar for you...

Not to sound horrible but here's my question: Who would be incharge once Dan and Art II are gone someday ? Is there a Dan or Art III or family members that wil continue to carry things on ?

I just want to give kudos to JPN for his great analysis of some games that Crash continually brings up. What Crash fails to realize is almost everyone on this board thought the defense played horrible to start the season.

It looked very bad with Harrison not playing like himself, Hampton looking over the hill, Keisel the same as Hampton, and of course Troy being injured. Everyone was saying DL couldn't adjust to not having a healthy Troy. Then the old man made an adjustment ... he replaced Mundy with Will Allen and move Clark closer to the line of scrimmage. The defense started playing lights out.

It continued to play that way until Troy got healthy and was inserted into the starting lineup. It was obvious Troy was not in football shape ... in fact the word 'fat' comes to mind. We struggled for the next couple of games until Troy got back into game shape. We started playing great again.

I guess the question that comes to mind is should we have started Troy when he became healthy? That move probably cost us a playoff spot but would you effectively bench your future HOF safety? What coach would have the nads to do that? Not many that I can think of ... at least not many that would still be coaching.

C'mon folks ... the defense isn't the problem area. The offense is the problem area and we all know it. We have the weapons on the offensive side of the ball but it's hard to unleash them when we don't have either good or healthy big uglies. Until that problem gets fixed the offense will continue to be inconsistent and a problem area.

Dan Rooney JR. 48 years old, and a scout based out of North Carolina is "next man up" for ownership.

[Crash]

C'mon folks ... the defense isn't the problem area. The offense is the problem area and we all know it.

They both have issues. LeBeau's problem is scheme.

It's cook book.

Hopefully, the Steelers are looking to make improvements in all three phases of the game, defense, offense, and STs...

[Slapstick]

Both offense and defense had problems this year...the defense's problem was health, initially...then, the offense's problems became paramount...

[Crash]

No, the defense's problem initially was giving up 4th quarter leads and give back points.

Just like I said they would.

Same issues they always have, healthy or not.

2nd most 4th quarter leads/game winning drives given up since 2007.

Health hasn't been an issue for 6 years people.

I so agree with most of what you said..this is what I've been saying for a long time.
We are not aggressive enough. I get so tiring of run..run..pass..I can almost tell you what we are going to do....

Folks you have to score touchdowns and be aggressive to win games and playoffs and eventually the Superbowl.
The 2005-06 team in the playoffs was very aggressive play calling.... And what happen by being aggressive every game????
And focused (Coaching)....
