Three Steelers make first team All-Pro

Watt
Heyward
Fitzpatrick

 

Heyward might have had his best season. He tends to start slow, but he was a force all year long, especially after Tuitt was hurt.

 

D Johnson made 2nd team punt returner as well

 

Three All-Pro's on one defense. Not too shabby.

 

Pittsburgh FINALLY is getting back to its roots; Smashmouth Football. Minkah, Cameron and T.J. are only the beginning. Part of the reiteration of "Steelers Football" is almost here.



One major element is missing; power run game. Need to find a Running Back. If the team believes Benny Snell Jr can be the guy, jettison Ramon Foster.

 

They will need to change from pass blockers & learn the run game again. I miss the pulling linemen & the cutback blocking. Unless they get another stud like Bell who is shifty & patient.

 

If anyone ask you if you would trade a mid-first round pick for an instant All-Pro player, what would you say?

 

He just made eligibility in the last game by number of punts received. I do not know the stats used, but by the end of that game he was the NFL leader. I know he might have made more rookie mistakes if used earlier, but makes one wonder if given the opportunity just what he could have produced.

 

It is a copy cat league, of course no one will have a QB like Lamar (or at least very few), but the combination of a good passing game, along with a sound running scheme always travels well.

 

Good choices.

 

49er fans not to happy that their no.1 D had no 1st team choices...And were whining that we had 3...And got dominated in a must win game against 2nd and 3rd stringers

 

Its time.

Who's whining?

 

All Pro is a great honor, especially for a rookie. Congrats to all who made it, Steelers and otherwise.

TJ made the list twice. 1st team edge rusher, 2nd team linebacker.

 

Interesting that Chandler Jones got more votes than T.J. Watt

 

That’s foolish when they lost to the failcons

 

We have an all pro player in each line of defense. Tomlin and company better take advantage of this SB caliber defense

He was one sack away from double digits. Great job though, from his potion and style of defense we play

 

Get a healthy fb.

 

Why...We never used Nix when he was healthy

 

we used him quite a lot in the game and a half he dressed.

 

Yep. And the run game looked much better when he was in.

 

Sounds like DPOY of the year to me. But Traitorson disagrees.

 

I would rather have none and be in their position.
