    The
    @steelers
    defense was absolutely ferocious on Sunday. Most pressures by a pass rusher in Week 1:

    1. CAMERON HEYWARD 12
    2. Arik Arm-stead 9
    3. T.J. WATT 8
    3. MELVIN INGRAM 8
    3. Myles Garrett 8

    I would be surprised if Dupree is fully healthy already. When it doesn't hurt the Steelers I will be rooting for him to do well.

    I think there is a chance that the pass rush is now better than it has been in recent seasons with Highsmith in year two and Ingram added to the rotation. It’s certainly deeper. Tuitt should be back but I do wonder if he will be the force he was last season.

    It would be great if the offence can start consistently sustaining drives to get the snap count on defence down. My big worry early yesterday was that the defence was going to be gassed at the end like it was so often last year. The defence can’t win every game for us.

    That's crazy, 28 QB pressures from only 3 guys. No wonder Allen was rattled.
    It was funny looking at the Bills message board. Many of their fans are saying that Allen only had a great season last year because the stadiums were empty. They said that he is very high strung and falls apart mentally in front of a crowd. lol

    What about Chandler Jones? He had 5 sacks yesterday...have to imagine he would have a lot of pressures too.

    Dupree is not gonna be the player he was in Pittsburgh. He benefited largely from the system and the talent around him.

    Watt was talking about the rotation with Ingram and how special this unit will be.

    They only blitzed twice, when you can bring pressure with just rushing 4, that’s when your defense is going to wreak havoc.

    Wait to they get Tuitt back :butcher:

    That’s right, I forgot about him. Maybe he didn’t register many pressures outside of the sacks? Seems unlikely, but I guess it’s possible.

    Any idea how these are calculated? Some specific algorithm or just someone’s opinion? Just curious, seriously.

    How high does the scale go? 100 or is it like the QB scale with some odd number?

    The snap counts were well divided between Watt, Highsmith and Ingram and as a group they did well.

    Why? Maybe those five plays were the only time he generated pressure. It's almost as if you are looking for a reason to question any positive statistic for the Steelers. Oh, wait. That's exactly what it is.
