My thoughts on preseason wk 3

In another thread, Blast just told us that listing a player as RBI tells us how they feel about that back. That is what the Steelers did with Harris every single game in 2024. End of argument. So glad we can finally be done with this. Thanks for playing.

 

There you go again
Everything Big Ben’s fault
Yet
The defensive genius
Mikey T
Couldn’t stop a nosebleed in playoffs
Agreed turnovers hurt
Yet
Defense couldn’t get off the field
Without stopping anyone
I’m sure the shortcomings on defense were Big Ben’s fault too
Browns looked like an offensive juggernaut in that game
As did Jaguars
Yet they fired offensive coordinator after giving up 45 points to Jags
Makes sense

 

Is the coach on the field? Let me know when Watt and Heyward show up for the playoffs .

 

Didn't Ben throw INT's in the '05, '08 and '10 playoffs?

Defense was able to get 3 and outs... but those were Cowher's players and Lebeau's coaching.

 

How did that Cowher and LeBeau pairing work in 2004 giving up 41 points to the Patriots in the playoffs .

 

Leveon Bell
Also
Was a no show in playoffs
Always hurt

 

You do realize those two interceptions including a pick six in the 2010 Super Bowl contributed to the loss .

 

Fair enough, but at least we watched him play like an All-Pro in the playoffs in 2016 he had 357 yards rushing. Watt and Heyward have never played like All-Pros in the playoffs.

 

But
Key games in playoffs
Bell injury prone
Denver
New England
Yes
Bell had a few good games in playoffs
Once again
Deflecting the piss poor defense in some of these playoff games

 

Watt
Heyward
Agree

 

I mean those two guys are the highest paid players on defense they should be leading the way .

 

Also LeBeau's defense that couldn't stop Tebow in the playoffs .

 

In other news
You didn’t get flooded from remnants of hurricane?

 

Mendenhall fumble also

 

Maybe Tomlin had too much influence on that defensive gameplan?!

 

Or maybe LeBeau was too old

 

My argument is about the 2024 season, as it has always been, and you just handed me the win. Thanks for that.

 

Mendenhall fumble along with that Toussaint fumble against Denver in the playoffs in 2015

 

Toussaint fumble was bad,cost the steelers at least 3 points on offense but can't gave the defense a pass to gave up a 65 yards drive for a TD and the 2 points to the broncos after that.

 

Was Warren even RB1 last year?

 

Yes

If you take me off ignore I can continue helping you

 

Yes, we know Harris started every single game that year. He got more snaps than Warren. He got more touches than Warren. He went over 1,000 yards for the fourth consecutive season, something Warren has never been able to do. What Warren did was battle through injuries and have his production drop from what it had been in 2023.

You argued that the Steelers liked Warren better when they still had both, before and during the 2024 season. You are now saying that listing Warren as No. 1 now shows how the team truly feels about him, which means listing Harris as No. 1 all through 2024 showed us how they felt about the two backs then.

I'm so glad you finally saw the overwhelming evidence and came around. Thanks for that.
