    Yeah, you're splitting hairs and losing me.. no worries.

    The Steelers can make life miserable for them. Baltimore is the better team currently.
    It's just the way I see things.

    That could definitely be part of it, too, but he wasn't really beating blocks like he usually does even before he injured his ribs.

    I noticed on several plays he was not 100%
    I guess the saying '75% of a TJ is better than most at 100%'

    Is it though. Just had this conversation with my daughter. Is TJ at 75% better then someone filling in for him at 100%. I guess if he is truly 75% then perhaps but anything under that. you have to wonder. He did not look as good against Atlanta.

    The alternatives aren't very good. Reed has had a couple of decent games, but he is a backup for a reason. Jones is invisible. When has he ever made a play?

    Teams seem to think they need to give Watt extra attention, at least early in games. That alone has value.

    this is a typical last man with the ball game. I give the favorite to the Rats, Tucker can kick it thru from 60 and Pickett is a rookie.

    we have sucked in 2nd halves. Watt is at 50%.

    last many standing, lose by a FG late, Ravens are a better team this year.

    but still 50/50 pickem for me this week

    Pickett may be a rookie, but he enters the game as better quarterback Sunday as long as Jackson is out. Huntley isn't very good.

    That said, Pickett is facing the better defense.

    Go back ,and watch those games. Almost every time We have got a sack on the QB.....Watt is being doubled, or even doubled, and chipped.....So I believe Him just being out there bringing that attention is a huge boost. Nobody else so far is gaining that attention....in that spot while He's been out, or taking a breather.

    Actually thats a great idea. I am going to go back and rewatch. I do recall now that you mention it at least once or twice it stood out to me that TJ was being doubled.
