Yep. And the penalties thing is mostly just a talking point IMO. I don't think he's crazily out of line with other guys who travel with elite...
I like Herbig, but Porter is better at his position than Herbig is. Herbig has the advantage of playing the most valuable position on defense....
Yep. And 3 year's in he's much better than any of the players you listed (in their first 3 years). And if we're only comparing the first 3 years,...
I think Watt's decline is partially due to age and partially because our defensive system was focused on stopping explosive passing plays at the...
They actually have 2! Watch out for the 2 QB formation this year!
Yep. It will get done. But Porter has a father who's been through this before. He knows that you get more money by waiting as long as possible....
I think Felt really resented that the team gave up on Kenny and let Najee walk. They were two of his favorite players. So he's been pretty...
Not extending Porter now (when he has 1 year left) would be the foolish choice IMO. Doing it now means the team has some leverage so the contract...
1) I agree with you that we should just wait a year and see what happens. 2) I didn't say 2024 wasn't a good year (although it was the worst full...
This is why I'd wait a year before deciding what to do. Unless someone wants to overpay us for one of them. I'm always interested in receiving an...
In terms of sack production (the thing that gets edge rushers paid), the decline of Watt has been a serious thing since 2023.
Porter will get extended for sure. Probably as a top 3 current contract at CB or something. This pretty much guarantees that we do a full...
Doesn't have to be this year. The first year cap hit for Herbig will probably be low. Then trade one of them next year. It would be the last...
Yep. Turns out that it's hard to be a top 4 team in either conference. We made the playoffs in a bunch of years we probably shouldn't. We did...
I used to pick the entire week against the spread with my buddies in highschool. We all threw in something like $2 and the guy with the best...
I think I predicted 9 last year, but I think I said I was being pretty optimistic. I thought 7 wins would be more likely than 10 or 11. I kind of...
My guess is that they didn't try. Or at least that they didn't try enough that it was ever a real possibility. I don't think he would have...
I don't disagree with either of these points. I think the reason that we got humilated in several of these games (I don't think this was true...
This is the half of the story that supports the idea that winning a couple of playoff games is worth being inconsistent. Although my guess is that...
I also think Steelers fans are more spoiled than other fan bases. If we have a couple years where we're out of playoff contention by the middle...
