Trade deadline for the Steelers

Excellent def are not available or if are they are PRICEY

They have a ton of cap room n need something besides the garbage they have, can cut him in March n get out from this contract

Worth a shot, but w Mikey still running this chit show don't expect much

Unfortunately

 

That's a terrible argument. Would the defense be better right now with Fitzpatrick instead of Ramsey? Yes

Would the offense be better right now with Pickens instead of Jonnu Smith? Without question.

 

Yup. The run defense is far worse without Elliott. Playing Taylor also means they need to change their blitz schemes and try not to use Echols, who is horrid against the run.

 

God bless you

 

Since the Patriots like sending us players, maybe they can send us Drake Maye for a first round pick

 

The Standard is the Standard.

 

i'd give them that and a few more picks.

 

Did a bit of researching with SIS info to see what TJ Watt might bring in a trade for a CB.

Watt is ranked as a DE in their ratings and he is 13th. CBs with approximately the same rating as Watt include;

- Tarheeb Still - LAC
- Cooper DeJean - PHI
- Jack Jones - MIA

[for ref. SIS has Ramsey ranked 7th best CB]

At this point, I would jump on any of these guys. Watt's falloff means his value is declining with each game. In two seasons, Steelers might not even be able to get a 3rd round pick for him.

 

Well, the K-Mart Blue light is shining on anyone who has played DB or has stood around one.
And cancel the WR.

Perfect sense.

 

Ramsey has made more plays this season than Minkah has made the last two years, Pickens teammates and coaches were tired of him and wanted him gone the situation was untenable.

 

Agreed! Ramsey has definitely been an upgrade over Minkah. I don't think it's relatively close.

It is annoying that Pickens was such a clown here, and even more so that Tomlin fumbled the entire situation.

 

Ramsey has been beaten quite often. It is more about preventing big plays by the offense than making them. The defense has been far worse in that regard in 2025.

 

I guess you didn't watch the Bengals make Ramsey look old and slow.

 

We signed Kyle Dugger.

 

Which one is he?

 

I'm not real sure all Ramsey's issue's are him.
I've seen him in a couple of those "WTF ya doin?" deals in coverage.. where he's supposed to pass the receiver to the Safety for example... an Safety is somewhere else.
I also like Ramsey in press coverage as opposed to zone.
It would also help if the front 7 could get pressure.
There's plenty of blame to go around.

If only wishes were fishes.

 

Every CB gets beat it would help if the pass rushers did their job, Ramsey single handedly won the Jets game.

 

I was reading some Patriots fans say he's not the same player after having ankle surgery, it sounds like he might be better against the run than in pass coverage.

 

No, he didn't. The offense did. He made one play at the end.

You could argue that he played a much larger role in losing to the Bengals. He wasn't just beaten a few times. He was consistently and thoroughly beaten throughout the game, then got torched by Higgins on the game-deciding play that set up the winning field goal.

 

If Ramsey doesn't make that play against the Jets at the end they probably lose, he still offers the team more than what Minkah did the last few years. Ramsey has more sacks than Heyward and Highsmith .
