    Big Ben and Jesse James are bonding in the red zone

    This is just what we've all been talking about; More TD's in the red zone. I'm glad they're making it a priority. With james, JuJu and Bell, we should be able to get in in more often this year. The standard is the standard; no excuses; get it done this year.

    Biggest issue with our O is consistent RZ proficiency.
    Trolls are people too.

      I hope someone bonds with Ben in the red zone because he can really stink inside the 20

        While James being in his 3rd year will help ... however our answer to all our problems will be BRYANT. All over the field.

        With Bryant on the field defenses won't be able to shift focus to BROWN. Everyone will benefit from BRYANT'S return.

          Friendly bet...JuJu will have more Red Zone TDs than Bryant

            I don't care whatsoever which one has more. I just like all the red zone options that Ben can now have on the field at the same time (Brown, Bryant, Smith-Schuster, James, and Bell). Just keep the David Johnsons and the Rosie Nixes on the sidelines.
            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.

              They can keep David Johnson unemployed. Probably the most useless player on the team. At his best, he is mediocre at everything.

                I see JuJu running that Hines TD slant all day in the RZ.

                  Are you defining the RZ from the Steeler 20 to the endzone? With Bryant, the Steelers are in the RZ once they get to their own 20.

                    James, Bryant and JuJu in the red zone. That should be enough.

                      That's fine and he will have BRYANT to thank for being open

                        Seems kind of odd to talk about having enough red zone weapons for Ben without mentioning arguably the best WR in the game and arguably the best RB in the game, no?

                          Considering last season's red zone whoa's (especially in the playoffs) I think the elephant in the Offense's Meeting Room is "how do we score in the Red Zone" after moving the ball at will between the 20s

                            I see your point Burgermeister but AB and Bell were on the team last year were they not? So I was focusing in on the new factors we will have along with them.

                            All that together gives Ben red zone options for days. No more excuses for Ben now. It's up to him to get it done down there.

                              I feel like this commercial sums up my RZ frustrations when I watched Ben drop back at the GL.
