Steelers trade for a corner

Pass rush had nothing to do with Brown becoming a non-factor in that game. It was the secondary pure and simple.
Ben has shedded many a defense under far more heat than the Pats had.
Heck I would take our front seven over the Pats every day and twice on Sunday BEFORE WATT (who was a great pick).
The Pats pass rush was no better than ours but they added elite talent to THE SECONDARY.
The most successful team in football in recent seasons knows what it is doing and it prioritized secondary over any position but QB.sigpic
In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

OV spoke of the new CBs we have ACQUIRED as proof tht we are addressing our CB need including specifically the scrub we just signed.
Thus Sword's calling them "average" and Shawn saying "that is being generous".
That discussion was not about starters (though you know my feelings about that).
Shawn is right.
Slappy, the Pats who's secondary was good enough to make Brown a non-factor, just signed ANOTHER cornerback to 65 million dollar deal.
Stephen Gilmores deal surpases that of OUR ENTIRE SECONDARY combined. But we added what maybe 4 or 5 corners?
Who placed greater value on the position?
We are like the guy who "found" four abandoned cars and have them sitting in our front yard versus the guy who just BOUGHT ONE brand new 60,000,00 Lexus.sigpic

A question Dizz:
Did they "bracket" AB with an edge rusher? Perhaps I missed that.
If not "my point" that secondary not pass rush was the biggest defensive factor in that Pats victory remains as valid as ever.sigpic

The goal line stance at the half and going 3 and out to start the second half was the biggest factor. All things aside, it was 17 to 9 at halftime and should have been 17 to 14.Steelers 27

Or was Bens arm hit on that third down incompletion?
Or perhaps was it that EVERY RECEIVER IN THE ENDZONE was covered, Ben settled for and MISSED Rogers who was four and had no chance of a score if Ben does hit him as Rowe was right there to make the tackle.sigpic

Being the "15th corner picked" doesn't matter much in terms of the type of player Sutton. He is clearly a very aware player with good ball skills and will become an asset as long as his health stays good. He didn't go high because of a senior year injury and he ran in the 4.5s. Teams draft the athlete who runs 4.4 or better No. 1. But in terms of football IQ and ball skills, Sutton is a leading corner from the draft.Comment
