The Steelers are bringing in QB Shedeur Sanders for a visit

I’m allowed to read the menu I just can’t order anything to eat

 

Not entirely. However, both Kiffin and Nussmeier both run RPOs; more so for Kiffin than Doug does. Even if you have to take the ball away from Dart's hands since Doug's Offense is more balanced than Lane's, both heavily prioritize three WR sets and pushing the ball downfield; something Dart is very good at doing.

 

9 3/8". Ward and Howard smallest at 9", Dart and Riley Leonard largest at 9 1/2".

 

That's surprising about Howard, he is the size of Big Ben and has small hands. His hands are actually smaller than Caitlyn Clark's.

 

Perfect hand size

 

We all tried to throw it that way as kids only to have it turn end over end. Very few if any other QB ever had the hand size and strength to grip it like Bradshaw.

 

Giants want to check all the boxes with Sanders. #3 Giants to have a private workout with Sanders.

This is not a visit, this is bring your helmet and be prepared to sweat it out.



This time, the Giants will be responsible for putting Sanders through the paces of an on-field workout. His Pro Day was scripted by Sanders and his team; the Giants have the pen in terms of creating this one.

Roethlisberger used it most of his career, but less and less at the end. Those passing charts with very few attempts to the middle of the field started at the end of Roethlisberger's tenure.

It has been a consistent issue with every quarterback since. I don't think it is that Tomlin doesn't want any quarterback throwing over the middle. It is that he hasn't trusted anyone since Roethlisberger to do it because there is more risk of interceptions when throwing there. Pickett was in the first two seasons of his career. Trubisky had some issues with turnovers in Chicago. Fields had even more of a problem taking care of the football. The one guy Tomlin might have trusted to throw there more, Wilson, was a guy who had never been big on attacking the middle of the field.

Smith had a history of attacking the middle of the field before coming to Pittsburgh. Pickett had much of his success there at Pitt. I don't think either of them chose to avoid it on their own.

 

Listening to an "OLD" episode on SNR of the drive, and they are talking about Cousins and Carr being options for the Steelers if they don't get Aaron Rodgers. I am assuming it is an old Episode because they keep talking about Carr being an option for the Steelers, but now with his injury I am assuming this option is now off the table. I would not have been a happy camper if the Steelers would have traded for Derek Carr.


That being said, Is Sanders the only 1st round QB the Steelers have a shot at that you let compete from Day 1 with Mason for the Steelers starting job?

Sanders has been coached by Pat Shurmur for the last 2 years learning a pro style offense. You don't get much better than Shurmur for Coaching Experience in college.

Pat Shurmur

 

I agree. If we draft right I think we can sure up the trenches and add to the Db and RB positions in this draft. Go into next year hopefully with only needing to replace GP and drafting our franchise QB. Great write up by the way on your Prospect rankings. The one that perplexed me however was your ranking of Luther Burden. Everyone I have listened to him have him slipping because he had a down year and he hasn’t developed his route running yet. He ran alot of WR screens and hitch routes as a quick outlet underneath.

 

Jeez

That guy can’t keep a job

 

Maybe the Steelers will have a shot at Dart, I could see the Saints drafting either Sanders or Dart at #9.

 

You want to talk about the Anti-Tomlin Head Coaching philosophy.

Deion has 3-Time NFL Head coach Pat Shurmur as OC, and now they are bringing in Byron Leftwich as something like a Passing game coordinator, to coach alongside RB coach Marshall Faulk.

AND, now I am seeing reports about Deion talking to Mike Munchak to replace outgoing O-Line coach Phil Loadholt.
