    Me and you both!! :eek:


    Between me and you, seeing Dan Moore repeatedly getting his ass kicked has run its course!! Some believe him changing positions will solve his issues but I have severe doubts about that as well!

    Yes the O line looked worse with moore back. The line on pass protection is constantly giving massive ground right from the snap, its ridiculous. I don't get not starting Jones. he looked good in his first start and worked well with the left guard on passing off blocks and even getting into the 2nd level.

    Give it a rest with Moore, there's way more pressing problems with the OL than him. Chuks for example, can't seal any of his blocks for any back on this roster to have meaningful success on his side. You take a look at any successful run plays this season, most of em have been on Moore's side. Dare I say, he's the best run blocker we have, very low bar indeed, but it is what it is.

    LoL. I honestly don't know what some people are watching. It boggles My Mind. I think some people would do themselves a world of good re-watching some of the game before they comment. I know that sounds smart a$$, but , and I'm not pointing this at anyone ....I'm just saying that some of the stuff I read.....I wonder if it was actually our game that they watched, or do they just repeat what others say. :shrug:

    This is particularly true if you watch the game live then watch the video when you get home

    It's even more true when You watch it 3, or 4 times with no sound, and then watch the all 22 a few more times. You will really wonder if most even watch.

    Honestly Cole is killing them up front. doesn't matter who's on that line if you're not getting at least solid center play.

    To be fair one of the broadcasts I saw said Trubisky came ion and energized the Offense while hitting the check downs... I guess he missed the INTs thrown into coverage while the check-downs were open!

    Oh I am aware.


    Moore isn't the only major problem. Chuks has not been much better this season; a major drop off from last season. That said, Moore is the bigger of the two woes. Both are turnstiles and need replaced.

    Regarding JPJ?!


    Finally confirmed to be a starter!!! :applaud:






    A major shame it took this long. Even so, I believe that is one massive problem now out of the way for the Steelers! :steelflag::steelflag::steelflag:

    Well JPJr was cooked last night

    He has a ton of upside but it’s pretty clear he was not ready to start day one

    Given how it is known thar DeAndre Hopkins is still the most physical receiver in the game when both contesting catches and in routes, Joey Porter Jr had him one hell of a game. Nuk has given many, and I mean MANY, opposing Cornerbacks problems; doubly so against rookies. Against the likes of Atlanta?!






    He gave A.J. Terrell, a Top 10 Corner in all of Football, massive fits. Compare that to Peezy Jr. JPJ held him down.


    In short?!


    I will take one catch for 17 yards against a future HOF Receiver all day and over 9000 times on Sundays! :herewego::herewego:

    Agreed, but that is an overly-simplistic view that doesn't account for the penalties. I still think he played very well, but he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar too often.

    true, but he is young, and he will learn that, with time. overall, keep that man on the field! he has tons of upside, and an unlimited cieling

    Again... imagine if Levi Wallace covered a future HOF Player in DeAndre Hopkins. Pittsburgh ends up losing that game. Peezy Jr on the other hand?!


    Thanks to him (mostly), that game turned in Pittsburgh's favor.

    I thought it was one blown play and a couple of penalties. Far from cooked and clearly the best we have out there.

    Joey just has to be mindful of penalties other than that he is A# 1. questioning if discipline kept him off field so long.
