The Official Steelers Training Camp Thread 2026 the new era begins

So what did you have for lunch

 

Im still eating. Chicken breast, a few chicken tenders with fresh tomatoes, and onions, and plenty of water with honey, lemon, lime, and apple vinegar added.

 

Ryan Shazier just got here

 

Ok smart guy. Tell me why that a long as four , or five years ago this thing started about Watt being moved around , the only OLB asked to do all this since we started running the 3-4 since 1982?
Out of about 30 , or more different OLB played since then, why is Watt the only single one asked to do all of this, and why haven't you, yourself questioned this??
Because people heard people online talking about it, and people follow easily.
Like its not Fields fault he keeps fumbling snaps, its every center he's ever played with. LoL

 

I think everybody started going off on this stuff when Mikah Parsons started being moved all over the place. Parsons is moved everywhere along the line of scrimmage. He's a physical freak with 4.3 speed that flies all over the field.

I believe that people think Watt and Parsons are the same player, but they aren't.

Parsons was an inside linebacker with outrageous physical ability that is able to do a ton of things within a defense. His versatility has a lot to do with how effective he is because he creates mismatches with his speed and explosion. Parson's needs the deception/versatility to get the numbers he does in his prime.

Watt has always been much better at just lining up and beating multiple people across from him. He is simply better, even when teams know what he is going to do. Maybe Watt is starting to slow down, but he never needed the deception to destroy what teams were trying to do.

They are both great players, but different in what they do and how they do it. Watt has been a generational player, even with the entire NFL world knowing exactly where he was going to be because he has been just that dominant. Maybe it changes now as Graham believes moving him gives this defense an advantage.

We will see.

 

They're making sure Wilson gets on the same page as Rodgers.

 

I thought all the talk started when Garrett was moving all over the place for the Browns and had been making the push DPOY. The typical discussion happening where people try to do an apples to apples comparison between the two when they are two distinctly different players and it was a down year for Watt and they suggested moving him around to gain him a better shot at getting pressure. Naturally he was asked about moving around by the beat writers and he said staying in place was his preference.

For my money I think the only reason to talk about him moving around is to force teams to play him honestly. The chipping combined with the flat out mugging him on every rush is the biggest factor in the drop-off, followed closely by slowing with age/ injuries.

 

Saturday Night Lights practice, Rodgers to DK

 

Who drew the unfortunate job of covering Washington on that play? They looked like a dwarf next to him lol.

 

Yeah, he looks even bigger in real life. So does Drew Allar.

 

It will change this year with a new coaching staff
