    Begs the question; can one player mean so much (little) to a secondary??
    He was really the only change other than adjustments I'm sure but I don't know the nuances of football to even begin to make any statements about what I saw from scheme or responsibilities. I did notice that Blake didn't play in the 2nd half and the Steelers forced 5 punts and gave up the one TD. While ion the first half they gave up 1 TD and 2 FGs. In both halves the Steelers defense allowed the Ravens to flip field position by not being able to get 3 and outs.

    The Steelers offense shortest field yesterday was 77 yards, that's a tough way to score points. The Ravens played field position, defense and just enough offense to win the game.

      While Butler has final say on defensive schemes and gameplans which change weekly im sure, who has a say on technique and positioning?Substitutions during games?
      Why are our DBs so far off the receivers at times?
      Why dont we ever/rarely jam a wideout at the line?
      Why is James Harrison in coverage?
      Why is Mike Mitchell so deep?

        So if Johnny Football gets benched this week how many yards will Austin Davis or Connor Shaw throw for? I'm thinking at least 300 and a couple of TDs.

I don't watch much in the way of college football, so the draft to me is always a crap shoot but it seems like the thing to do would be to take your late round picks in a year like this and look at 'tall, fast, smart' guys and see what you can make of them.
          exactly and if you come out run run run with this defense you will lose...

            Why do people think that rushing cannot equal scoring?
            Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

              I doubt Jonathan Pigskin gets benched today. More likely, HE goes for 300 and we make him into an "intriguing fit" for spread-option run offenses. (i.e. Chip Kelly, if he can survive)
              I wasn't hired for my disposition.

                Why would Manziel get benched this week? Didn't he make in a competitive game against Chiefs last week? Or do you plan to go to Cleveland this week and buy Johnny some drinks and post the evidence online?
                Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                  Another video of Manziel was just posted on social media. Coach Pettine has said he will be discussing it with the QB this week. Looks to be from a private residence and much ado about nothing.

                  He's playing. The Browns are trying to figure out what they have with him. Last two weeks haven't been great : 19 for 32 and then 13 for 32 but he did throw for 372 in wk 10 against us. He also ran for 108 yards against KC.
