They need to understand that hey can't block pitch plays.
I am hopeful that those guys can at least be competent against the run when they get in the game, but I don't think any of the Steelers' current...
The defense was fantastic in the first three games. It was absolutely a problem in the two losses.
It would be great to see Warren return. I totally missed Kazee being hurt. Maybe that is why Edmunds got so much run against the Cowboys. That's...
How much of that is teams being able to roll coverage his way because no other receiver on the team scares them?
Seriously, if you saw them in public, wouldn't you be at least a little tempted to say it's so sweet of her to spend time with her grandfather?...
He isn't close to being as bad as Canada, who was a failure at multiple stops before the Steelers foolishly made him their OC. Smith has run a...
No, it's because teams don't respect the passing game. If you have only one wide receiver worth damn, it is way to easy to keep eight men in the box.

It can be tough to run screens if opponents don't respect your downfield passing game. Screens rely on clearing defenders out in coverage. It just...
You nailed the biggest problem. There is a safety blowing up running plays in the backfield far too often.
It does need to be about the pass rush. You saw what happened when they lost Herbig against the Cowboys. Prescott had way too much time to throw,...
See what others are telling you. Teams are stacking the box. I think Harris has been playing hurt since the Chargers game and they haven't had...
Weren't you talking about trying to fix things by Pickens the ball more? If they force things in his direction in response to him pouting and...
LOL. No.
So very much this. That was the first thing I thought of when I heard Saleh was fired, that I would love to see him replace Austin. Hiring him...
Agreed. Playing Loudermilk there seems like a terrible idea. Their best option right now does seem to be using the three inside linebackers...
He was a very good player early on, but for some reason, his play has cratered. He is definitely worth a shot.
Rewarding poor behavior does not work as a form of discipline. It tells the person that they can get their way by acting out.
I doubt the two time-outs would have been enough with only 15 seconds remaining, but yeah, they should have had them and poor coaching wasted both...
