    and dust off Artie "Burnt" Burns to start this week. Start.

    Nelson (groin) will be limited if not ruled out.

    Burns will be what he has always been, he has the tools to stay right with anyone but when the ball is in the air he struggles to find it or adjust to it to make a play. This is exactly what his scouting report said coming out of college, if we had coaches who could coach this should have been corrected by now.

    He will lose sight of the ball and run into the WR for PI call or lose the WR while looking for the ball resulting in long completions.

    I hope I am wrong and Artie takes this opportunity and balls out, but I haven't seen a DB on this team get noticeably better the longer they play with our coaches.

    William Gay sucked and most on here cringed when he had to start then I think he left for a year or two. When he came back he was better as an older vet then he was when he was in his prime.

    I hope he has two picks but TD passes will be definitely headed his way. He'd better be prepared.

    Is there a defensive version of the wildcat that lets someone else play his position for him and confuse the offense into not throwing at him?

    Question is how does he slow down Winslow?

    That's because this is the good old boy country club.

    Tomlin can say all the tough guy we are a no nonsense organization all he wants but the fact remains this is professional football and it's definitely...

    Amateur night on our sideline....

    Weekly!!!!

    I have Gordon and their TE. Gordon will sit on my bench, but I have to start the TE. On another team, I am keeping Rivers on the bench.

    I would rather the Steelers win then have a big day for my fantasy guys.

    Also, I make it a rule to NEVER choose a player from Patriots, Baltimore, Cleveland or Cincinati.

    We're going to drop all down linemen into coverage so Rivers has no where to go with the ball. Randy designed the defensive gameplan this week and said his plan is to make them beat us with the run.

    I root for the steelers over my fantasy team all the time however I am starting Gordon for sure. If they shut him out fine if not I get points I am good with it.

    I have Keenan Allen and JuJu on my fantasy team. Hope it's a shootout with Steelers winning. Juju with 4 TDs.

    This is a "sand bag" season anyway. Might as well get the youngins some experience. QB is least of our worries. Call me crazy, but whoever loses out between Rudolph or Hodges will have a job in 2020.

    You’re not crazy and I’ve said it too that we are good at qb.

    ben
    Rudolph
    Hodges

    that’s a solid qb crew. Rest of the team is meh though lol
