    I see him getting out of position a lot on the big plays teams are hitting against the Steelers. Also, I have seen him getting beat in coverage on occasion, too. Fitzpatrick has been solid, but missteps on some deep throws and the lack of big plays are concerning. He is playing well, but not at the All-Pro level we have seen in the past.

    I see Minka constantly trying to cover up all the mistakes that #26 is making in pass coverage. I have been doing a lot of swearing this year at Donte Jackson, because he just seems to be out of step with the rest of the Defense. Wrong place and Wrong time and poor Minka is having to come from Centerfield to make a TD saving tackle, or #26's man would have been able to run down the field untouched.

    I have not seen Minkah play this season because I lose interest if the camera pans away from Watt. :)

    Minkah also played with better CBs when he first came to the Steelers, Jackson has three interceptions but he gets beat a lot.

    So we are paying him elite money to play CF?? Come on man. You damn well know he has been underperforming the last couple years. He is supposed to be all pro. How many stretches did Troy or Ed Reed have 0 INTs?

    Fans got spoiled by Minkah's early years with the Steelers, it seems that's what Austin wants him to do is play CF.

    I’ll give you scheme has a part in it but it doesn’t excuse his lack of any explosive plays.

    Again. Troy P, and Ed R played with a better bunch of CBs. Again we have one.....ONE legitimate CB, and the rest are average to ok.
    I guess You think B. Bishop is great because he has ints. He actually sucks in coverage. This is a prime example of why Ints aren't the only thing to go by in a DB. I guess I. Taylor sucked because he didn't have many ints???

    Of course there is more than just interceptions but Minkah was always a splash dynamic player with picks and pick 6s. Now he’s just there with 0 in 2 years.

    I guess You have missed all the balls he has separated from big catches, and the big td saving tackles he has made this year then.

    I wish we could choose how we want to watch the game. I'd like an above field view or a field level camera behind the offensive team.

    Remember that one night game they did the view behind the , and above the Qb. So You could see kinda like they were seeing. Ben was the Qb, and we won, but I can't remember who we were playing.

    I think You just need to pay more attention to what He is actually doing. That's all. It's like the people that thought that T. Edmunds was even kinda good. They just weren't paying attention to what he actually did. They just looked at stats. They didn't see everything that T. Edmunds was actually giving up.

    That is the one I was thinking of. I think it was an a trial run. I really liked it. Almost like being at the game live where you can see what is happening down field.
