Rookies

I'm curious if the Steelers are starting the most rookies of any team in the NFL?
Green, Harris, Moore, Freiremuth, Harvin, Pierre

 

I think Tre Norwood is a rookie also. I was really impressed with his instinct.
There was one pass by Allen that was like a shallow seam route that he was the underneath coverage that I thought he got beaten on but maybe he was expecting help from over top?

 

Yeah Norwood looked pretty good too.

I believe the Jets and Jags are also starting 5-6 rookies

 

Going in front of the Bills mafia and experiencing what they did will do them the world of good. Obviously they will probably learn more from a loss but let's delay that for a while!

 

Pierre is in his 2nd yr

 

one thing i noticed is the snaps were not going in every different direction.

 

Moore was one of the top 5 rated Steelers, on offense, yesterday.

I thought Norwood looked pretty good too, but he might have been the one who got beat by Sanders on the deep shot that Allen over threw.

 

the pass rush definitely helped the secondary yesterday.

 

Yes, Sanders blew past Norwood on the deep ball that Allen overthrew. He did a terrible job on that one, but otherwise, played well.

 

Good thing it wasn't Jimmy G. or the media would still be talking about it

 

Why are they the “mafia”? Everyone seems to be a “nation”

 

Steelers Nation is a global phenomenon that accepts allexcept for former Ravens fans, screw those jackoffs. To join the Bills Mafia you have to have sat outside in a driving snowstorm at 10 degrees in Orchard Park and been drunk and stupid enough to climb into your buddies pickup bed and jump on a six foot wooden table and knock your stupid head on the frozen concrete to be a made man. It's a selective process I'm told.

 

It was the most the Steelers started in an opening game since 1991.

 

All I know is that I tailgate every Steelers game, and when the Bills fans came to Heinz field in 2019 the game got flexed from a 1pm game to an 8:25pm at night game.

The Bills fans literally littered the tailgate lots to a stupid level. Not that Steelers fans can be bad at it, but most of the time they are really good about picking up trash and bagging it.

It was on the Kenny Chesney level of stupid tailgaters.

But most of them very friendly the Bills fans, not many a-holes.

 

Incredibly impressive. Not one of them let the side down.

 

Football is a young man's game. If they have this many rookie starters, the Steelers are in great shape for the future.

 

The entire Steelers 2021 draft class started or played yesterday with the exception of:

Isiah Loudermilk-Healthy scratch didn't get a helmet, but on the 53 man.

Quincy Roche- Is on the Giants Active Roster and if Jamir Jones didn't play so well in the pre-season he be on the Steelers Active Roster.

When they do the year end draft grades it won't be the C or C- a lot of the experts said it was after the draft was over this year.

 

And that’s after finding Claypool, Highsmith and Dotson last year despite having no first or third round pick. They have done a really good job these past two drafts.

 

They have the distinction of being the fanbase of a team that lost 4 consecutive SB's and who most famous player may have sliced his ex wife and her lover up. If you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at. This is also the reason Vikings fans are so easy going when you lose 4 SB's and have a defense named the purple people eaters you just have to smile.
