Derek Watt & Conner Heyward?

[whisper]

Did they even suit up for the game? What was there contributions? Cutsie brother power!

[BURGH86STEEL]

I believe Derrick played in some 3rd down situations.

Conner is young and learning.

[Chucktownsteeler]

Watt played a handful of downs. Not sure on special teams.

Heyward is green and won't see the field much this year barring injury. Freiermuth and Gentry are an outstanding duo.

[LPMAN]

Yeah Watt was in on a couple running plays on the goal line where we got stuffed.

Let's see... I know I'd be re-assured if my brother was on the field if I got injured... plus Derek Watt led a gimpy Najee through the line when he was called upon to do that... and Conner Heyward threw a key block on one of the Jet's sweeps, I think... The guys announcing (despite being "never-Steeler"-ers, even mentioned it...)
Some guys who got a helmet never even saw the field...
Are you saying we should only dress 22, and have guys play ST, too?? This isn't Saint Martha grade 5-6 football...

[SteelerOfDeVille]

OMG, a 6th rounder made the team, but didn't dress... this is just horrible. Someone should be fired.

Yea, I've yet to see a play where he made a crunching block as a FB - one of the things promised that he would perform. $2.5 mill a year for cutsie brother love.

He is a key special teams player too. It's not your money so why do you care?

According to the snap counts listed on Steelers Depot -

Watt had 6 snaps on O and 22 on ST = 28
C Heyward had 1 sna on O and 22 on ST = 23

22 ST snaps was the highest number of ST snaps and a bunch of guys had that count (Watt, Heyward, Killebrew, Snell, Jones)

We were told Conner was the "magic elixir" that would being Canada's whole system together, or did you forget? Conner was one of the main cogs to making Canada's system work. But he wasn't even seen on the field.

He is listed as a TE: the smallest (230), shortest (under 6') TE in the NFL.

By the way, Pickens barely did any better. And he's supposed to be big time.

[NJ-STEELER]

Derrick was the first one to greet TJ as he was walking off the field.

Do I really have to even answer this absurd question? Why would you care if we overpaid Mitch $40 million, if it's not your $? Why?

Why so much hyperbole?

No one ever said this.

No, i don't remember seeing anything like that... I'm really not sure how anyone would believe that a rookie, backup TE would be so impactful.. I have a bridge to sell you, sir

Well, Canada's system is amazing... it has managed to shut down Claypool, Juju and a whole host of other pretty good WR - so, there's no surprise that it got the rookie in his first game as well

why do you continually lie so much about stuff like this?

no one here or anywhere ever said that.
