    You win with balance on both sides of the ball. Good balance. Low injuries.:cool:

    It's really easy to explain. Desperation. That's it. Look no further then the back ups. You can now include the offensive side. Look no further then the tight end position.

    Obviously Minkah Fitzpatrick was a major need and is a finally good pick for the secondary. Without even picking. Lets hope the dolt defensive coordinator doesn't screw him up.

    Other then TJ Watt who really is playing above the line? I'm taking about drafted players. Crickets.

    I feel Dontae Johnson will come on strong. Who really thought that Moncrief would turn into Dwight "Hands of" Stone? And Washington should have secured a better standing at this time. So yes a question mark is warranted.

    Connor. How about being more physical on the front line? That's where this lies. The offensive line is an issue. Getting beaten off the ball. Oh, and pass protection is a joke.

    Rudolph. Give the kid some time. He will be fine.

    Continuity has been the staple of the O Line. Is it the fact that Munchak is gone? I feel this is the issue. He was a big part in development.

    This team top to bottom is just not that good. Hopefully they get a win Monday night.

    It didn't last year or the year before that or the year before that...

    I don't mind the focus on defense because I am old-school but I just don't understand why they didn't do more to shore up the O when it was looking like it would become the weak link?

    you don't think New England's defense won them the Super Bowl last year?

    reminder, the score was 13-3.

    Call Joey Porter ... he’ll tell you the Steelers are soft, especially the offensive line.

    I don't think that trades or draft picks were going to fill the hole of losing a talent like AB but I think those things combined with a good O-line and a game plan to give Ju Ju some separation.

    I'm simply referring to the obvious question marks coming up on the offensive side of the ball. Losing AB and LB, Conner's health, Ben's age/abuse, TE, etc. Yet our biggest moves have been on defense. And no apparent attempt to create a game plan to account for these question marks.

    The trades, signings and draft pick wasn't about filling the hole of AB but more about filling the hole of the #3 and 4 guys. Juju was gonna be the #1 and JW was "suppose" to be the #2 but that didn't happen.
