More bad…Broderick Jones’ transition to big boy football is a little behind schedule. I think he’ll be fine, but he hasn’t shown anything to be particularly excited about to this point.

Conversely, more good…Dan Moore’s development has been very encouraging.

 

I was at the game last night and what I noticed about Jones was that his initial contact was pretty good but he isn't staying with his block. In college his initial thrust was good enough to knock the defender on his backside but that isn't happening now. He needs to keep moving his feet and staying on his man. He has the talent to do that but it isn't translating on the field yet.

 

Ben on Green(10 days ago)

 

I wanted Darnell Wright ( RT) real bad but he was gone. I’m ok with Moore right now. More concerned with Chuks.

I know this snap was ugly but Jones was bad(ugly in this case) for only 1 snap in the passing game

 

I think Sp teams should get a good as a unit. Every phase was clicking, Harvin was clean in all his kicks, Return was great, Boz on target, K and P henchmen did the job.

 

I love the guy, but he sucks!!!

 

Exactly what happened on the sack he gave up. In Jones’ defense Mason dropped back like it was a 3 step drop but Green was pushed back into Mason’s lap.

 

That one was on Green more than anyone. Man, he sucks.

 

Center who gets pushed into the backfield + Quarterback with no pocket awareness = DISASTER

 

I thought the 1st team pass defense was kind of ugly. Take away the penaties and we kind of got lit up. Peterson didn't look good, either.

 

Ben acts like he's humble now, but he hasn't changed. This is nothing but another excuse for his career ending with him only being able to throw a screen pass.

 

Yeah, that’s been a bit of a character flaw that he’s had throughout his career. He’s always been somewhat passive aggressive and a tad bit narcissistic.

 

Sounds like a lot of posters around here!

 

“somewhat” “tad bit”

That’s an understatement

 

So a MF can't love a dude, or really like a dude, and still think He's not good at the position. Where is He wrong. You people make Me laugh. He was so correct 90% of people wanted Him to not even get a chance this year....hell half of You saying this.... in a different thread are saying get Him out of here....., but if Ben says it.....OH MY Gosh the sky is falling. Now imagine being an old Qb coming into Your last year, and that was Your starter.....Hell worse because He was a rookie on top of not being good....Freaking Hypocrites. LoL

 

To be fair, I'm not sure any quarterback would be able to do much when the center gets shoved back into him that quickly.

 

He sucked in all things related to any type of touch passing..Peeps talk to me about certain skill sets that hold the Team back truth be told he was a King in that regard..

 

Ben is gone. Serves us well but held the team captive with his salary and diminishing skills. Should have been gone A couple years earlier.

There’s a New Sheriff in Town now and his name is Pickett!!

Can't think of too many Great QBs that were not this way. Maybe Eli Manning because he knew he was a 2nd stringer when compared to his brother. That is the one thing I liked about Eli Manning; he never seemed to have the "I am the Greatest" BS surrounding him.

This team has seen 2 QBs that thought they were greater than the organization when they played, and stayed on until they were all but forced out. At least it is not looking like Ben is going to hold a grudge against the Steeler organization for the next 20 years for forcing him to retire like TB 12 did.

 

I was referring to him only being able to throw horizontal passes the last 2 or so years.

 

Sure hope Moores development is good because he will be tested the first game with Bosa

 

I would say a 62 yard run for a TD should be in this list of the good

 

And he can lie about cheering for Kenny all he wants on his podcast........he'd love for him to fall on his face. Thank you for the two SB's Ben. Now move on.
