shout out to dylan cook

good job young man on short notice. peat with a concussion. not sure if a move will be made if he remains in concussion protocol. we almost have to. can driscoll play LT?

 

I'd rather try Jack Driscoll out at Guard than Tackle. Too light in the pants to properly anchor on the outside.

 

Cook represented well. They did give him some help but since when don't the Steelers LT need help? And the Ravens have zero pass rushers so that help too. Gonna be an interesting week of practice.

 

he's 6-5 312. heavier than cook at 305.

 

Cook has better lower and core strength overall. Driscoll doesn't. Jack would get pushed around easier than Dylan would.

 

Any relation to our message board Patron Saint - Pimp Dylan (aka Pimply Dan)?

 

Any update on Mt. Washington?

 

also in concussion protocol. we had 3 guys with concussions. malik harrison, peat and washington.

 

Hopefully all out of protocol by Monday

 

I was shocked to see that the Ravens only have 12 sacks on the year. Their leader in sacks is the rookie Green with 2.5 sacks. That is pathetic beyond belief especially when you think about Garrett already having 20 sacks.

 

Cook moved to active roster. Good for him.

 

Barring injury, Garrett could close out the season with 27!!

 

And he is still an awful human being
Uck him

 

Well... no argument there.


Mind you, I am only talking about the player.... not the person.

 

If Jones is the measuring stick it's easy for Cook to shine.

If Cook survives Garrett in the next game, then crown him.


Steelers have found their LT of the future
Story by Jack Markowsk
It's not often that an offensive linemen who has almost exclusively spent his first four NFL seasons either on the practice squad or the reserve/injured list comes up and makes an immediate impact in his first handful of starts, but that's exactly what's happened for Dylan Cook with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
There was a fair amount of concern about Pittsburgh's outlook at left tackle after Broderick Jones sustained a season-ending neck injury against the Chicago Bears in Week 12, and that was before Calvin Anderson was placed on IR with a knee injury.

The Steelers received another blow at the position in Week 14 vs. the Baltimore Ravens when Andrus Peat suffered a concussion, but Cook entered the game in his place and hasn't looked back since.
In his regular season debut against Baltimore, Cook did not allow a sack or pressure over 13 total snaps, according to Pro Football Focus.

Under the lights at Acrisure Stadium vs. the Miami Dolphins in Week 15, which marked his first career start, Cook logged 66 snaps at left tackle and went the entire night without ceding a quarterback takedown or pressure.
Cook was a standout performer for Pittsburgh yet again in its eventful 29-24 Week 16 win over the Detroit Lions that came down to the last second, keeping Aaron Rodgers out of harm's way yet again on his blindside and putting even more impressive tape out there.

The Steelers closed out the day with 481 yards of total offense, their most in a single game this season and the only time they've eclipsed the 400-yard mark.

Head coach Mike Tomlin had nothing but good things to say about Cook after the contest, noting the team's prowess in the run game with him on the field in Detroit.

"We’ve got a no-blink group," Tomlin said, per The Athletic's Mike DeFabo. "It’s not like things are ideal. I can’t say enough about Dylan Cook, for example. Man, that’s our fourth left tackle. We ran for 200-plus yards today with that guy."

Is Cook the Long-Term Answer?
Jones certainly held his own when healthy this season after moving back to left tackle, where he played in college at Georgia, from right tackle after Dan Moore Jr. left the Steelers and signed a four-year, $82 million with the Tennessee Titans in free agency.

With that being said, though, Pittsburgh will have to make a decision on the 2023 first-round pick's fifth-year option this upcoming offseason.
Perhaps it's too soon to declare that Cook will factor into the outcome in that situation, but considering his current stretch is on par or better than any Jones has had during his career thus far, it doesn't feel far-fetched either.

Cook still has to prove himself over a larger sample size, but if he continues playing at his current pace as the Steelers track towards clinching the AFC North for the first time since 2020, the team may have found the left tackle of their future.

Got bullied here for a sack on Rodgers;



Got beat here as well but Rodgers got rid of the ball:

 

So just what our passing game is starting to click, ( We now have a good LT, An emerging star at Tight End, and a solid #2 or 3 WR ) our dumb @ss #1 receiver, the man who can threaten NFL defenses deep and on the sideline picks a fight with a fan and gets tossed for 2 games.

DIVA CONTROL, Tomlin. Might I recommend James Harrison as the unofficial diva coach. Cross him Divas will not.

 

Let's see how he does against Garrett before saying he's the LT of the future.

 

one game will not decide that. not too many in the league have faired well against him. evryone forgets that most of his games so far he has had a backup guard next to him as well.

 

They will not use the 5th on Jones

They will try to extend him

 

Glad to see Steelers hit on a UDFA after years of drought. We had 2 really good ones 20 years ago in Willie Parker and James Harrison.

 

One of the great mysteries of the universe was how Dan Moore was able to neutralize Garrett for a good part of his time here.

 

140? that has to be 2 games

 

JAYLEN WARREN says HUH? WTF? PFFT

 

Oh yeah... forgot about him.

Also forgot about Villanueva....damn good LT.
