I DO see a possible bright season scenario

[thor75]

Lotta ifs, but I like some of the optimism. I will say the one I'm most skeptical about is our OL. As long as Gilbert and Adams are our bookends, there will be problems with this OL. But, I can see them being a great run blocking OL. And that could allow Dwyer to have a big big season. With that said, if the Steelers draft Bell, all bets are off. I think this kid could be rookie of the year.

Do you think he lasts until the 3rd?

I hope we draft him, he could emerge as the feature back in our offense and be a great addition. Plus with that new rule for running backs his style of running may be just what the doctor ordered.
You may be right Shawn about the tackles, but since Haley runs the dink and dunk they wouldn't have to hold their blocks as long you would think anyway.

Btw, how would you guys like Le'veon Bell and Tavon Auston in this paticular offense? Problem is we probably couldn't get both, but I would settle for Bell no problem.

They've been running the 2 TE set with Gronk and Hernandez for 8 years?

No, but Brady, the alleged genius QB is 0 for his last 8.

A little different without his camera's no?

Instead of us trying to be New England (which is why we supposedly hired Haley) how about we worry about what our own team has done while not trying to be someone else?

If the Steelers had 3 wide base against the Packers? They win.

The game plan coming into that game was very 3-wide heavy. But when Manny Sanders got hurt early on and Antonio Brown didn't know more than one wideout position by the end of his rookie season, plans had to change.

Nice story.

But not accurate.

Oh, I forgot...you were with our coaches when they constucted the game plan and I wasn't. You were on the sidelines when the calls were being made and I wasn't.

[supersteeler]

I thought they could of relied on Ward more in the fourth quarter in that game, I do give us credit for making it a game in the second half but where was our defense the first half where GB more less dominated.

If you watched that game you would know that the ONLY TIMES the offense had any rhythm was when 3 wides were on the field and the backups at TE weren't.

Add up the total plays, the total yardage, and te points on our scoring drives.

Then go count the number of times DJ and Spaeth were on the field during them.

[RuthlessBurgher]

If you watched that game

I forgot to watch that Super Bowl! Silly me!

[Siggy00]

You couldn't have watched if you claim 3 wide was scrapped. The only time this team did anything was with 3 wides on the field.

[Shawn]

Do you think he lasts until the 3rd?

Talent wise he shouldn't. I'm not sure why he is slated for the third in the first place.

Walter Football has Bell being drafted in the 5th round in their latest mock which I don't personally agree with but most draft sites have Bell going in the 3rd or 4th round.

I'd pull the trigger in the third easy.

[Shawn]

Bell is a much better back than Monte Ball. A team will recognize this and he doesn't make it out of the third.

Wait a minute Crash, who was OC when we started running all the two tight end stuff? Who has run more two tight end base sets than anyone in team history?
Your boy Arians.

Dont you dare call THAT yinzer ball, since we NEVER did much of that before your genius BA.

We didnt have to dump Arians to get no stinkin two tight ends in imitating NE.

The difference between us and NE is that they have two stars with the TALENT to run that set and Arians stupidly did it with Miller and a scrub.

That kind of stupidity got him fired.

You rip us for going 2 tight ends too much in the SB?
Is that HALEYS fault?
