Picketts Injury

Per Schefter : Steelers’ QB Kenny Pickett is not expected to miss much if any time due to the knee injury that forced him to leave Sunday’s game, per sources. Pickett could try to push this week vs. Baltimore but the team also knows it has a bye the next week and could opt to rest him.

 

rest him thru the bye week. IF Trubs runs this offense efficiently, we REALLY have a problem

i am not playing him Sunday, if I am MT and Co. He needs to WATCH for a week.

 

He is definitely seeing ghosts. At least he didn’t blow out his knee and we can see him hopefully the rest of the year before deciding on QB next year.

 

Apparently just a bone bruise

 

You might want to watch that play again. The defender was trying to make a pretzel out of KP’s leg. I’d watch it again just to confirm my recollection but the stupid play call would probably make me lose some sleep.

 

Interesting thought and it seems strange to me that people are at all shocked when NFL quarterbacks see "ghosts". I think it's taken for granted how easy the position comes to some guys but not others. It has to be a completely unnerving feeling to have these enormous defensive lineman crashing down all around you play after play.
It's been pointed out ad nauseam what his issues have been this year and it's not as if the coaching staff and Pickett himself can't pick up on these things through film study.
I honestly don't know that seeing ghosts can be corrected by simply pushing through it. Maybe he needs to sit and watch. Maybe he never gets over it. All I know is it can't be easy so I don't even attempt to act like I know how to fix a professional quarterback.

 

Or seeing something worse..................

 

I Think it would be good for him to sit out this week and watch from the sidelines. The way this offense is now, it's not going to make any difference who starts at QB. May Pickett can learn something by watching and at the same time let his injury heel this week and the bye week.

 

ok. I guess I will watch it again. At least I didn’t have to watch the horrible play call from the beginning. I’m not certain what you saw but the defender completely twists KP about 270 degrees below the waist with both KP’s legs planted in the turf and then comes down on his knee with full weight. I’m surprised he won’t miss significant time. I wish Tonya Harding would put up a hit job on Matt Canada’s knee for that stupid play call

 

He’s definitely rattled right now for some reason. I don’t think he faked the injury, but I am starting to believe that Kenny may be a little soft for AFC North football. That may be unfair in comparison to Big Ben, who was tough as nails and would have been back out the next series. Hope he proves me wrong.

 

No doubt, lol. He was a drama queen, that’s for sure.

I’m starting to miss that guy.

 

Well, regardless of what is true, they should sit him; things sure aren't getting any better with him in there, need to change SOMETHING.

 

The craziest part is that it used to be possible for us to score multiple passing TDs in a game lol.

 

I don't think Trubisky can be much worse.

 

Ben loved that cart!!

 

I watch MT to play this weekend. I think resting Pickett is smart, but I want to see a different QB in this offense. I think it will be interesting to see how much of the offensive scheme sucking is Canada and how much is Pickett. I think they're both terrible and it's a perfect storm of crap.

 

No but he’s Mitchell and we know how bad he is.

 

Its part scheme but if you watch some of the videos of KFP plays from last year to this year there is indeed a trend. He does not see the field well at all. Many times, if he does not check down or bail from pocket, receivers are open. He really sucks in zone coverage.

 

Canadas schemes are laughable and play calling a joke but…. KP can’t read a defense or go through his progressions fast enough.

 

Maybe he can see the field better than Pickett, and won't bail on a clean pocket.
