    maybe you haven’t noticed, but Dotson is a big boy. He can move people. It could be he his assignment was a linebacker at the second level. It could be he moved his man faster than the other linemen. He also wasn’t the only one called for it.

    I couldn’t care less about the article. 3/10 penalties were illegal ma downfield. Dotson’s numbers are a bit inflated because of those. You’re going out of your way to find some dumb **** to argue about. Seriously, go argue with a wall.

    Are they on the Qb???
    I've often wondered, and tried seeing both sides of it. It's not a actual play action play, and I've never ran one.....So what makes You think it's the Qbs fault. Because usually it's not called out....it's a moment thing.....not being argumentative....truly asking why You see it that way.
    I do know they don't call it on some teams as frequently as others.....that is a fact. Just like the OL pushing in the back when a Qb takes off....it's illegal a all get out, but they seem to not see it.

    The linemen are run blocking the whole way. They don’t know whether the qb has completed the handoff or pulled it to pass. If the qb pulls to pass he has to get rid of the ball before the linemen becomes ineligible.

    I agree with this, but the ball is usually out very quickly. I actually think they watch it on certain teams more than others.
    Have You noticed that , or I'm I being Steelers bias???

    I like what the Steelers have done so far. Brought in a potential pro bowl guard and got some depth.

    It's not a great class for OT and I don't think a potential starter will fall to us with the first pick. I'd pick the best player available there but go OT within the top 3 rounds if someone decent falls.

    The reality is I think what they have now is largely what they will be going with.

    MLB, Safety, CB, WR, and edge rusher are important picks also.

    Albeit popular opinion I think the Steelers could compete for a title this year but mostly the main guys need to stay healthy.

    We'll see ultimately the team's offense will have to be much better and score points. Excited to see what Kenny does in his second year.

    Kind of amazing isn’t it. When I was younger in my teens and early twenties I used to say I was a football fan and then a Steelers fan. But for a long time now the real answer is is that I’m a Steelers fan.

    I pay very mild attention to the rest of the league but consume Steelers stuff daily like it’s the water I need to drink for sustenance, looking for any slight new break in news. Almost a sickness my wife would complain.

    I haven’t even watched trash ESPN in like about a decade or NFL network in like 3 years.
