Would Trade Pickett …

Pickett has been trash for 2 seasons yet Mason has outplayed him while getting no reps and sometimes not even dressing. Says a lot about Kenny Pickett.


If Tomlin had confidence in Pickett, he’s starting against Baltimore to finish out the season. End of story.

 

1st we have run many of those same plays. At 4:09 on that video....that play has been run about 7 times I can think off the top of My head. Difference is ...it has been dumped to Warren....instead of the bluff, or fake to Pickens....like Mason did. Hell some people the first time We ran it said why didn't we have blocking on that screen.....I tried telling people it wasn't a screen.....that was way way earlier in the year.

 

Your take is full off $hit. I say this with so much belief that I'm personally will bet You money. I can find more than once the same plays being run throughout the year, and single coverage on Pickens . Put You money where Your mouth is , or shut up. You Yourself said will see how well He does at Seattle, and used them as a measuring stick....now You are moving that measuring stick You Yourself placed. No Mason will not win every game, and no He won't be perfect. I never said He was. I Like KFP, but He still has a lot to learn. What I said is right now Mason is the best Qb on the team....only a million times, and way way better than Trubisky.

 

He’s just Kenny Pickett. He’s gotta earn that F lol

 

You can lightly re-read what I wrote.

Again, George Pickens has not been double covered every game, all game for every one of Kenny Pickett's starts. That is what I said. That is 100% fact

You can post all kinds of interviews that cherry pick a game or moments when he was double covered and feign superiority that it confirms Pickens never gets single coverage with Kenny Pickett at QB1, but it is 100% untrue and you know it.

For the record, Mason is not my favorite QB. I get that was probably sarcasm and you found it funny but I've stated multiple times in this thread that I don't think Rudolph is anything special. I simply don't think Pickett has done anything to discount Rudolph getting a legitimate shot.

 

"Look, look, please look over here as I attempt to distract you from the truth with a meaningless metric because I'm obviously wrong."

Comical

 

I love when someone like you talks down to me about football like you know what you're talking about because you can just tell from watching TV and they scored points. That's hilarious.

When you can put a video up and break it down for me and tell me what is and isn't working and why....you get back to me.

Much of the offense is still dysfunctional. That's what's amazing about some of you talking out of your butt.

The coaches have only been able to alter it so much while the season is going on. There are still bad concepts and poor route combinations all over the place. Faulkner and Sullivan have been making adjustments and adding plays, but they can only do so much. The offense has to execute really well to make things work. The offensive design makes it harder than it has to be. The offense needs to be scrapped and a new offense needs to be installed with more modern concepts.

Canada was a huge problem, but many don't want to acknowledge that, or they can't understand that. The coaches are now changing what they can and adding plays to try to improve and optimize the offense. They are helping to make this offense better, and that job is not easy when they still have their other coaching duties to attend to.

This is still a work in progress, but I give all the remaining coaches credit for really doing a better job game planning and calling plays. They are also doing more productive in-game adjustments.

Will it hold up against better defenses? We won't know until we see it. Hopefully the coaches can dial up some good stuff to help the offense continue to grow.

I'm only trying to explain that there are reasons why some things are working, and they weren't working before.

I keep saying that Rudolph is doing a good job and playing well these two games. It is the bang on Pickett crowd that have to keep screaming "Pickett sucks!" to feel better about themselves. I actually want Rudolph to get better and win games. Imagine that.

 

call me the 'down talker'. better yet : "butt talker". just chill out and follow the debate, discussion

we
have
scored
points

and lots of them, the past 2 weeks

I
watch
the
games

would have been 37 if Najee did not take a slide

Kenny
could
not
do
it

let KP sit, watch and learn. or move on....I never said we were the Balt Rats or SF 9rs - just much improved with Rudolph behind center. let's not make a mountain out of a mole hill here.

 

Nobody on this message board is the authority on X's and O's they pretend to be. We're all watching the games from the lounge chair come Sunday.
Go pedal that false narrative elsewhere.

 

Sure, if you don't mind the story being inaccurate.

Pickett has been out for a month. He may or may not be 100 percent. The offense is clicking with Rudolph in there. All of those are reasons why Tomlin could go with Rudolph for now while still having faith in Pickett long-term.

 

But, but he knows more than you do. You know, because he says so. Lol. That guy is comical.
"I AkUaLlY bReaK DOwn gAMe fiLM!!!"

 

No receiver in the NFL is double covered every play of every game. It's impossible. That is a given and is understood by anyone that knows football. I figured that you knew enough about football so it was understood. But to deny that the #1 priority of every defense in the NFL that faces the Steelers is to stop George Pickens is just nonsense. He's the most dangerous weapon they have by a mile. He is doubled a large number of times every game, except lately.

If you want to make it all about the semantics of double teams rather than talking football, that's fine. If your arguments or lack of understanding won't allow that to happen than just say so. This way I won't spend my time explaining and informing you of how other teams have been taking Pickens out of games all season.

If you are going to ignore his own coaches and experts explaining his affect on the game, and how defenses prioritize limiting what he can do, then go stick your head in the sand and believe what you want.

If you want to ignore Rudolph saying why more big plays were available, then go right ahead. Just don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. You simply don't want to know and are ignoring what is really happening.

 

I understand what you're saying. There are always missed opportunities on plays. I think Kenny did do the same earlier in the year, but I'm not sure either. There are also people that can't recognize a screen from a checkdown!

I think Rudolph is doing great. I love what he's been doing. I just know that the matchups with the defenses the last two weeks favored what the Steelers want to do and fit what Rudolph wants to do. I also know that the offensive line has been doing well with run blocking and they have been better with protections. A lot of opportunities have been there, and Rudolph has taken advantage of that. That's a good thing. I'm happy he's doing well.

Anyway, at least you watch this stuff. We don't always agree, but you know what I'm talking about with these other guys about Picken facing double teams. He is always being doubled, or bracketed in coverage. It happens all the time with him, and people just pretend it isn't real.

Do you agree?

 

Thank you for acknowledging Pickens isn't double covered always when Kenny plays. You stated as much if not implying it at the least.

I feel comfortable with you choosing to withhold your tremendous living room football knowledge from me moving forward. I'll appreciate you not cherry picking singular events to attempt to support generalized false narratives.

Having cleared that up, please feel free to stop feigning some goofy analytical superiority while moving goalposts and changing angles.

 

,

You couldn't be anymore wrong.
And I am pretty sure there are at least 2 others here.

But this is true, even OC's are wrong at times.

 

I didn't move any goalposts. I talked about things specific to the games, and differences in what defenses have done all season compared to what they've done the last 2 games. Matchups and schematics that the offense has been seeing, and then talking about the role the new offensive coaches have in that.

That IS the discussion regarding Rudolph.

 

Once again, a measured response that I think I can get on board with for the most part.

The dynamics of this debate make it even more maddening to me that Trubisky was ahead of Rudolph in the depth chart. Had he been the starter for the first two games Kenny missed then perspectives might be drastically different now.

 

Is it the guy who keeps telling people they don't know X's and O's?? Because I highly, highly doubt he's one of them.

 

See, now you've got nothing and you're being a condescending ass.

All I did was post information. You don't think it's relevant because you are the one that thinks you know everything, even though it is your knowledge of the game that is limited.

That's a you problem.

 

I'm not telling you that you don't know X's and O's. I tried to explain something to you. Reasons why things are happening on the field.

You are declaring that you don't know X's and O's to the world with your ignorance and your lashing out and insulting me.

 

I haven't followed the thread enough to know who you are referring to. I just saw that remark and thought "whoa.. I know what I did for a living."
But if you are referring the Blast Furnace... I think he knows what he is talking about.
I could be wrong but going on what I know...

 

*Sigh*

You said Pickett can't or doesn't get the ball to Pickens because he faces double coverage. You said that, not me.
I simply countered that statement with the fact that he isn't doubled all the time. Therefore it's the QBs responsibility to identify those instances and get the ball to him. Pickett has failed to do this multiple times. It's already been put on display in other threads on this site.

I never said Pickens isn't seeing different coverages with Rudolph at QB1. I never said Pickens isn't facing double coverages all the time. I never said Pickens isn't one of the main threats on this offense.

I said Rudolph identifies the single coverage and is getting the ball to him, consistently. I said Pickens isn't doubled on every play or to the degree of a Justin Jefferson. I said Pickens had had his two best games statistically with Rudolph throwing him the ball. That's all I said
