My thoughts on regular season wk 9

1. 4th quarter Kenny strikes again..... if he plays like that in the 1st 3 quarters we would be over 30

2. Najee and Warren both ran quite well, but Warren was much more efficient

3. Congratulations Diontae for getting reacquainted with the end zone

4. Broderick Jones starting on the right side was huge

5. Joey Porter Jr had some penalties, but he still locked down his side of the field.... D-Hop is no where near an easy out and only caught one against Joey

6. Alex Highsmith was an absolute beast

7. TJ Watt was held so damn much, the coaches may want to get him a rape counselor

8. The secondary on the whole, struggled mightily without Minkah

9. Great bounce back week for Presley Harvin

10. Prayers for Holcomb and burkes

 

5-0 in one score game for the steelers....They had the second best winning% in one score game before this year in the Tomlin era

11. When will Coaches address undisciplined penalties The Jones penalty after scoring and taking the lead could have cost us the game. We cannot do that!!

 

Still so unsure about KFP. The guy can make the throws, but what the hell is going on for a lot of these games?
160 yards for a starting NFL QB is pathetic.

 

He was just horrid in the first half. That's it. Everything else was working on offense and he didn't get it done.

 

I am starting to think Warren needs to start and get the majority of snaps

 

I don't see why we need to pick between the 2. Tonight both played well. I'd like to see them both play and equally split the workload so both are fresh

 

1. I'm glad he led another 4th quarter drive when we need it, but I am starting to get sick of the narrative. He needs to learn to make plays at all points of the game. Its not all on Canada either. Kenny is just too inconsistent making EASY plays for an NFL caliber passer, and its holding our offense back.

2. Warren is just a better back than Harris. Thankfully we stopped running Najee out of the gun and gave him some downhill runs. That is where he can be effective. We looked like we actually know what kind of personnel we have and called to their strengths. More of this please. I'd still like to see warren get 2/3rds of the touches out of the backfield, as I think he would do a lot more with what we block that Naj would... but if we are splitting like this, we need to continue to play to each back's strengths.

3. Monkey off his back. He's too good of a player to go that long without a TD. It speaks to the low quality QB play we've gotten over that span, but DJ has had a few misses himself.

4. Yeah, he's our best offensive lineman. He played great. No shot we do anything other than start the kid the rest of the way. We look to have gotten 3 really good players in this past draft based off early returns. Porter and Benton played very well tonight too.

5. The one on 4th down at the end was some made up bs., but the offsides and hands to the face on the same play sucked. It happens. He's already our best corner, and the arrow is pointed up.

6. Yeah, we made a good decision paying him. What a good player. Super consistent, wins often, pressure all night long.

7. Lol yikes. He was very disruptive for sure. Petit-Frere couldn't handle him. Definitely what you want from your guys making the big bucks.

8. That's fair, as would be expected of course. You don't lose a guy of Minkah's caliber and not miss a beat. Definitely hope he can come back soon.

9. Yep, great game by him.

10. Yeah hopefully Burks just had a scare with getting knocked out instead of actual spinal issues. Tough to see that. Sucks for Holcomb too since he was having a great year. Looks to be a season ending knee for him. Tough loss for a group that is MUCH improved over last season.

 

Because Warren is better. That last scoring drive was nearly all Jaylen Warren. The guy has been the better guy for a minute now and it's time to validate the performance in my humble opinion

 

That first drive was pretty good, but the rest of the half was inconsistent at best.

 

Preach @blackandgoldpatrol... Preach!!!


Here is some more sermons to deliever on these badass threads you make good sir!!!















Special Rookie Class man... special. Not too shabby an FA Class. Some misses of course but overall a very good first swing by Omar Kahn!!!

 

‘I had to say that I’m actually proud of that stat. Hope it continues.

 

Pickens seems like he either isn’t happy or don’t care. Coasting out of the end zone that way looked lazy.

 

Porter is a rock star.

 

That confidence!! Like father like son!!!


Hey @S.T.D!!! We got one!!


Lets get another dammit!!!

 

!!!!


@Steel_Elvis....


Does this mean he starts?!


Fingers crossed!!!

 

But still people want to fire Tomlin. C'mon man!

 

.... ah hell...


Never mind... false alarm.... again...


Link is here...

 

I don't disagree but 22s touchdown run was awesome.

 

Spot on

 

Give the entire defense some credit. They looked completely lost after Holcomb got hurt, but settled down and played a hell of a second half.

 

While weirdly impressive, I guess, it's not one of those stats that inspire a lot of confidence, or any at all.
