Minkah expected to play. Najee did not practice.

It was the same thing for Harris last week....Not a concern

 

Wednesday isn't that like veteran (oldass player) day
Sure Cam didn't practice too.
Minkah needs to test the leg and get the rust off.
If he had been playing , then would probably had off too.

 

Put Minkah on the EDGE!

 

yes, we need Harris for this game really bad. We cannot solely rely on Warren in a bad weather game. <fumblitis>

 

Minkah better be healthy enough to do his job too.

 

My only problem is that there will be some miscommunication in the secondary. Fitz and Kazee haven't played in weeks, Peterson has been back in a safety role the whole time they were out.

Expect some issues passing off guys and in responsibilities.

 

Minkah will call the defense and he hasn’t forgotten how by being off

If anything communication will improve

 

Looks ok here

 

This.


Not having Minkah was very much noticeable. From his exit against Jacksonville to even against the likes of Indy, losing Minkah was painful!!

 

?? The green dot is going to be on a LB. Fitz if anything will be coordinating the secondary. The good thing they have is that it's @ Buffalo. Crowd noise shouldn't be a factor.

If you're saying that re-inserting guys into the line-up and moving others around, will improve communication, then I hope you're correct. Either way they need to ball out to win without Watt.

 

Besides TJ which is obviously a killer injury the Steelers appear very healthy. No excuses Mike T! Next man up!

His playoff rebirth begins Sunday.

 

Yes

That is what I was meaning

 

I don't know that I mean communication issues perse. Just that Guys are going to have different responsibilities based on where they're lined up and practicing for weeks at one spot then switching around might cause some issues in a high-pressure Playoff game.

 

I assume he will still have a cast

 

I agree with knocking dust off. But they haven't forgot and that's what practice is for.

 

don't they have to make a move to bring rowe up to the 53 for this game? can't they only bring a guy up from the PS 3 times before he has to go on the 53?

 

The Steelers are still missing multiple middle linebackers, the defense is hardly healthy.

If they can simply “next man up” TJ Watt, then trade him for picks.

 

Kazee is back I believe.

 

I guess you forgot they are also missing both starting inside linebackers. I wonder why you might ignore that.

 

That doesn't mean they don't need Rowe, too. He has been playing better and better.

 

For the Playoffs there's no limit on call ups. That was only so that a player would have to be brought up and given a regular paycheck after so many times.

Since everyone gets the same paycheck for playoff games it's not necessary. You get called up, you get a playoff check.

 

yea but rowe has been playing very good and we could use him.
