What jumps out at you?

Nice rushing stats ah? Horrid, horrid OL play.

The line that jumps out the most is KP's.

The OL play was kind of scary.

Bush had 4 tackles though. So that's something I guess.

[Chucktownsteeler]

Claypool made a catch without falling down.

[NorthCoast]

Claypool made a catch without falling down.

His first catch was not exactly textbook. He jumped off the ground when I don't think he really needed to. He also caught it with his body rather than his hands. I wonder if he needs glasses?

I honestly felt like i saw baby steps in the right direction. I still want him replaced next year, but he did seem to flow and make the right reads - but still took too long to disengage if someone got their hands on him

I forgot to actually include the box score. Doh!

Those rushing #s aren't gonna win any games, they are pathetic. Harris can't be the all end-all answer to that crap fest OL performance. No way. He's gonna be ground to a nub in no time.

Warren - 3 rushes for 3 yards
McFarland - 2 rushes for 1 yard
Snell - 3 rushes for -2 yards

Officially 14 rush attempts for 24 yards. Take out the MT scramble and the Sims gimmick play and you have 12 rushing attempts for 3 yards.

I've been on the "Claypool needs glasses" bandwagon ever since last year. He doesn't to be able to see the balls coming in to him that well.

Yes, I was also going to mention the Sims gimmick play and MT scramble, but even when you include them in the rushing stats they are STILL beyond anemic. This isn't going to get it done. 2022 is starting to look scary, with Pickett looking good or not. That OL is a stack of hot, steaming sh-t. It doesn't just look like "one of the worst" OLs in the league, it looks like the very most rubbish of all OLs.

They saw what we saw last season, how did they fail this miserably at addressing it?

They chose Pickett and Pickens and Leal over OL.

It seems like this is who he is.

It's probably worth remembering that the rushing looked pretty good in game 1.

Hopefully they can get back to looking more like that.

Didn't I see a RB "erase" him on one play?

Hopefully it gets better, but as of now, the Steelers are essentially playing with 10 men on the field when Bush is out there. There are plays where it looks as if he doesn't enjoy playing the game.

It could come down to the Hawks being anemic upfront and the Jags being pretty stout. But all I know, in this game, the OL got zero push on the D, RBs were being hit 2 yards behind the LOS. You will never win many games with that going on.
