        Steelers award Joe Haden game ball in first season-opening win of his career

        Joe Haden got something he had never gotten previously — a season-opening victory. It came against his former team, and the Steelers rewarded their new cornerback with a game ball.

        “I appreciate it,” Haden said, via Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “It was my first opening win since I’ve been in the league. Once they found out, hey, they gave me the game ball.”

        Haden had six tackles, one of the Steelers’ seven sacks — his first since 2011 — and a pass breakup on tight end Seth DeValve.

        The Browns tested their former teammate. DeShone Kizer completed passes of 19 and 13 yards against Haden, according to Dulac, with another of 29 yards in front of Haden in zone coverage. Two other attempts were incomplete.

        “We just appreciate what he gave us,” Cam Heyward said. “He’s always been on the other side and to finally have him over here is just awesome.”
        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.

            Haden (A)- other than the one double stop and throw to Coleman's back shoulder, he played well for being new to our system.

            Wilcox (B)- laying the wood is all fine and dandy with me but we don't want another Mike Mitchell lurking around the secondary... often late with the hits and at times taking precedence over a potential pick if he would just pick his head up.

            McDonald (*)- no plays visibly seen with the naked eye to make any rational assessment.

              I love Wilcox...

              I know you guys hate it but that's just how it is with safeties...

              They come in late and clean up plays and put fear in defenders hearts. Sometimes they will get fined or flagged. It happens.

              TJ was flagged as well, same thing... just part of the game. guys dip and there is nothing you can do about it.
