    KC/Steelers game thread: Pre & post game thoughts

    Okay fans so here we go. Game 3 of the preseason. The one game where you try and play most of your opening day starters most of the way. I won't harkin too much on this game but, it would be nice if our starting unit could at least drive the ball for at least ONE TD and another score in it's first 3 series. When you consider our opponent, is that really alot to ask for ? So, who is the one player you think that might shine tonight on offense & defense ? I will say my Offensive player will be... " Antonio Brown " I think Ben and the team need to get him going, get him ready for Tennessee. And he has been quiet in the first 2 preseason games.
    And my one Defensive player who shines ...I will say " L. Timmons " but with a added shout out to both
    " Jarvis Jones " & " Nick Williams " I think Jarvis will get the start tonight, and be our starter game 1. And even though Nick Williams may not get alot of early playing time, I think he WILL stand out once in there tonight. So anyways, those are my " Offensive & Defensive " players I predict to shine. Who are yours ?

    • I want to see if Jarvis Jones continues to improve week to week
    • I want to see something out of Heyward
    • The NT position in general
    • The o-line must improve. Can it be any worse?
    • Wheaton
    • I want to see more out of A. Brown considering he's the #1
    • RB situation & particularly Felix Jones
    • The ILB depth
    • I want to see where S. Thomas lines up and whether him and Golden will see playing time in the 1st team D sub-packages
    • Who will get the last WR spot
    • Clean / Mistake free football - Particularly turnovers and penalties must stop!
    • I want to see the first team D get some pressure on the QB without having to "send the house"

      I'd like to see Al Woods up against the first teamers... Is he really for real? I am really tired of the invisible man Ziggy Hood... We have to find an upgrade over him... So I'm rooting for big Al Woods to show us some good stuff

        Al Woods played alot early on last week against Washington, mostly at NT. He did okay, but on average he disappointed to be truthful. I think Ziggy's playing out his final season here, Because of our Lack of depth with knowledge of the defensem that will keep Ziggy a starter. And hopefully he will play motivated in order to up his free agency next year. But I feel he wants OUT of Dickie's Defense. He wants to be on a Old Fashioned 4 man D-Line.

          I was unable to watch the first two games. I am really anxious to get a good look at Markus Wheaton and The Shark. Also I think I heard Cortez would play, so also to see if he can be a shut down corner.

            Maybe Ziggy will shine a little more this year because of the pass rush the DE's will supposedly be allowed to do.

                Well after some easy early passes for Smith, Ziigy Hood just got a nice little sack, so thats good. Now we get the Ball.

                    Well on the Bright side...we scored on our first drive. The Bad news...it was a FG!! We had them 2nd and 4 at the 9, But Dwyer got the hand off, and was Immediately hit. Our O-Line on the Left side is horrible tonight.

                      Well, it wasn't a pretty drive but we finally scored a TD!! After our great O-Line allowed a easy sack of Ben, on 3rd and 13, Ben hit Dwyer on a swing pass, and Dwyer scored!!


                      Yeah Team!!

                        Very poor o-line execution overall but Ben made a good play.

                          Evaluations so far ?


                          Ben is going to be killed this year.....sorry but true. Gilbert has so far been pancaked 3 times that I have seen. Our run defense looks good. Our Pass defense is among the worst in the league. I guess the guys we lost were the reason we were ranked 1st last season. Smith has tons of time to pass, and the 2 times I saw us get a LITTLE pressure, Smith was great at finding Avery on quick short patterns.


                          Our kicker obviously can make 65 yarders in practice, but can't get a FG attempt higher then 6 ft in the air on a long FG attempt against an actual rush. Two positive...One, we only have 1 penalty this half. And two, we waited to use our FIRST Time out with about 5 minutes left in the first half. When was the last time we did that ?

                            Like I've said continuously, Ike Taylor is not worth close to 10 mil and he's lost a step. Ike Taylor, like Casey Hampton, like James Harrison, etc have been staples of our defense in the past and all were EXCELLENT players. Ike Taylor is still a good player. He's just not worth the money he's making and he's past his prime.

                              I'm disgusted!! For those of you who can't watch this game live, watch KC final 1st half possesion.
                              Talk about a team just shredding a Defense. Also, another STUPID 15 Yard Unsportsman penalty. Alex Smith has CLEARLY outplayed Ben. But then again Alex Smith actually has TIME to throw. By the way, if this Brian Moorman guy is our punter, we might as well get ready for a top-5 draft pick right now. My neighbors 8 year old Boy can punt longer. And PLEASE don't Insult my Intelligence about his Hanh time. I can Punt a football and have it hang for 7 seconds easily if I am only punting it like 30 yards down the field. This guy SUCKS! And Tomlin should be fired Immediately if he keeps him on this team.


                              Like I said, there is very little to like about this game. I mean besides Ben's toughness, and ability to run around and avoid getting CREAMED like Corn. But that won't last. Ben will play, I think TOPS 7 games this season. No way he survives...None!!
                              And I thought our new Coordinator was supposed to have quick pass plays that get the ball thrown less then 1 second after the snap. Well I certainly haven't seen that offense so far last year, or this year.


                              If I'm Ben, I'm either demanding a trade...or a new 5 year contract for 150 Million, 80 million signing bonus! And I am DEAD SERIOUS to. If Brady or Manning had to play behind this S-H-I-T!! they would be demanding the same thing. I feel so sorry for Ben.
