Kaboly: Steelers leaning toward Dan Moore over Broderick Jones....

I hope this is a joke....

 

That's just God-awful if that is true. The team needs its collective head examined if there is ANY truth in that.

 

Just say it isn't so. Lol what has our team come too?

 

DKPS confirmed with Dan Moore that he worked with the starters although it was not clarified if he was exclusively in.

This is almost as if Bill Cowher would started Maddox when he was healthy in midseason over Ben back in 2004...This is just awful

 

I read where Moore was ranked the LOWEST performing OT in the NFL. And that Jones performed well, and without barely any help last game. Why, dear God, would they even consider having Moore start? WTF is wrong with this team?

 

I do not have the energy to think about Kaboly or for that matter most any Steeler 'insider' stuff. When Sunday we will see what the genius does, until then I'll return to binge watching Green Acres.

 

Commonly you don’t loose your job to injury so I expect Moore to start

If he does not play better than Jones he could be benched quickly

 

Moore should not lose his job due to injury, he should lose his job due to poor performance. I appreciate loyalty to a degree, but you’ve got to put the players on the field who give you the best chance of winning.

 

I never believed in this rule!...I mean, if Joe Montana lost his job because of an injury, any player can lose his job because of an injury!

 

What exactly does 'Leaning Toward' Moore over Jones mean.

I do understand that I'm higher on Dan Moore than the vast majority of fans. I get that. But this OL and it's problems is not on Dan Moore, and will not get solved by putting a rookie in at LT. Debate who is the better LT all you want, that is not my point at all. The entire OL needs to get sorted out right now. When one of the worst graded OTs in the league has given up 1 sack and 5 hurries, that's pretty good OT play across the league.

 

Dumb move in my opinion. Let the kid earn his 1st rd chops. I doubt Tomlin will bench him in game if he ain’t up to snuff

 

Leaning Toward is actually Italian for Leaning Tower

 

All 4 of our top rookies should be playing a lot based on the competition. But MT loves his vets so he will likely make the wrong move.

 

Not entirely Italian just a Pisa

 

I realize that there has been a difference in competition levels but seeing Jones hold his ground makes me want to see more. One reason Moore grades poorly is the pressure he gives up. He competes but gives ground. And a big problem with Kenny is feeling that pressure and bailing. And seeing Jones in the run game well what I saw looked better than this. The kid showed enough to convince me he deserves a shot

 

I haven't see that much difference in the passing game between Moore, and Jones, but I did notice a little bit of difference in the run game. Maybe they are scared because it was Jones out there when KFP got hurt.

 

I thought that was Moore. Either way, KP jumped in his lap.

 

No it was Jones, but yes KFP has a habit of doing that. My biggest concern of KFP. Many times the LT, and RT can't do their job correctly because He runs right into the lanes they are trying to pass the Defender up field on.

 

KP getting hurt was his own fault, he spinned out of a good pocket.

 

Exactly. Just like Kenny getting sacked some of the times is on Him. Difference is many on this board seem to think when He does the same to Moore....it's Moores fault, but when He does it to Jones the 1st round pick....then....then ...it's KFP fault.

 

Leaning usually means that would be their decision if they had to make it today, but they will wait to see what happens in practice this week.

 

Jones is the future, why not just see if Moore is better anywhere else on the line?

Our interior line has not been anything special this year.

 

Dan Moore has faced Nick Bosa, Myles Garret, Maxx Crosby, and Will Anderson. 0 penalties and 1 sack.

Jones has faced Clowny. Impressive first start.

I can see why they are leaning towards Moore. He just went through the toughest stretch we'll see this season.

If he struggles in any games coming up then it makes sense to change it up.

 

Isn't it time for KFP coaches to point this out to him so he doesn't continue to do this? Ram it in his head,
over and over until it sticks. Just like mechanics, throwing motion. Over and over, get it right.
