    I don't know why I always have problems trying to watch this content. Is it because I use a mac? Half the friggin world uses them now. :shrug:

    Someone try and give a cliffs notes on what was said since this organization can't get their web sites to work well. 2012 and they dropped their fan message board and hlf the time their live at 5 junk doesn't load. :thumbsdown:

    And this is a brand new state of the art Mac so I know it's not this machine. :frustrated:

    No Colon, no Heyward vs. Philly.
    Ben will play. 1st team will get no more than 2 qtrs playing time, but exceptions can be made.
    Jerrod Johnson will get an extended look in the second half of Eagles game.
    D. Johnson has not been moved fulltime to Fullback. Think he said he'd be running at TE next week.
    Rainey will get the first shot at punt returns.

    No idea, Oldschool. Someone else mentioned that problem on a Mac, too. It worked fine on safari on my ipad, though. They've recently switched to NFL media player, so it must be related to that, but I have no idea what the issue is. Something flash related most likely.

    I thought the primary reason for us to all hope for David Johnson to magically transform into a usable fullback was that he had "officially" changed positions? i.e., he was no longer a fullback practicing with tight ends. So much for that. Unless they are continuing their backwards ways by sending him to fullback meetings and then playing him at tight end.

    For the record, my position is that while it's still not his strong suit, his strongest suit is blocking as a tight end, on the line of scrimmage. We all know he can't cut it as a receiver, runner, lead blocker, or special teamer.

    So I don't understand what they're doing with him at all. I really hope I see something good from Will.

    Oldschool - I was having this problem a couple weeks ago. When you clicked the video, it wouldn't load and just stayed as a black screen. I believe I downloaded/updated to a newer version of Safari (which probably has an update to its Flash). Problem solved. I can now watch the videos on Steelers.com

    Spot on Snack. His strongest ability is definitely on the line blocking at TE. And even that isn't anything to write home about. I've really never saw any proof that he's a viable lead blocker (the opposite actually) and we all know he's not a good receiving TE. And tbh I really don't care for the idea of assigning him as our FB either. In fact i've been struggling to figure out why he's still on the roster. :frustrated:

    I've been saying the same thing forever now. Cut his butt, give his money the Wallace and lets be on the way to get our 7th.
