What was up with Troy.....

[BradshawsHairdresser]

Neither O nor D adjusted to anything today.

Yup. Hence the big second half collapes. If the Steelers had been playing almost any other team, they wouldn't have come away with a win today.

Ike's drop was awful. He didn't even get both hands on the ball. The ball hit the his pinky finger. Someone needs to teach him to catch the ball with his elbows....would be more effective.

Ike has been very good at clutching and grabbing receivers. A mystery as to why that skill does not generalize to the football.

Well, that's why god created the Browns.

Not sure God ought to get the blame for that fiasco.

He tooketh away and kepteth away from that city...

If Troy wasn't so busy being a leading tackler because the front isn't doing their job, maybe he could do some of the old Troy things that made him great.

If I could get a 6th rounder for Troy right now, I would take it and run-run-run til my daddy took my T-Bird away!!

Thank God that you are NOT in the Steelers FO! Your statement is just ridiculous.

[BradshawsHairdresser]

I wouldn't take it as far as truthteller, but it looks to me as though Troy, along with Ike, is showing some significant decline. It happens when players age. I'd like to see Troy used less as a LB--I thought the new blood at LB was supposed to alleviate the need for that. I think he's better suited to safety...although he has slowed down in coverage.

I'd like to see them try another player in Ike's place. Hard for me to think there isn't someone on the roster who could do better at this point.

I was hoping Shark would take over SS while Troy moved to FS.
Signing Mitchell changed that hope. He hasn't been Overly Impressive either.

Willie Gay was our best DB today

I would settle for just starting the Shark.

Not really Troy is a liability.

[skyhawk]

The defensive line got totally dominated in the second half. Troy made some plays. The Dline was putrid until the Browns last drive. This thread is silly. The liabilities are the entire D line, Ike, and Allen.

Willie Gay was our best DB today

yup, I agree...

Glad you are not in the front office.

Was there. Troy made tackles.

I agree with you, Troy was our leading tackler and people wanna blame him for missing tackles that our front 7 should be making?
