    No doubt they need another good draft like last year.

    If you're referring to the Washington game, they had 6 shots from inside the 1 on that series. That sequence was the beginning of the end of the 2020 season.

    It’s because we have arguably one of the worst OLines in the NFL. It’s that bad especially in run blocking.

    It is more understandable for Manny at 33 or so, getting paid by the year than JuJu at 23 risking life long security for a one year deal when an injury could end it all.

    Well of course none of them are ever gonna admit that. But I meant free agents who may consider joining the Steelers may have second thoughts because of the repeated tendencies of coach and team overall.

    Players go where the money is, Alalu went to Jacksonville for the $$$$, he's not winning anything there at his age.

    Some Steelers fans trashing Dupree, they're going to miss his run defense.

    Yeah I know it’s beyond ridiculous. Bud is a damn good player and he will be missed for sure.

    I actually think players like playing for TOMLIN. Who wouldn’t they run the show. Players serious about winning might be a different story.

    We are going to be a 6-10 team in 2021. Obviously, our salary cap issues are a major factor in the mass exodus of talent in free agency. However, it may be the best scenario in clearing salary cap space for 2022 in an effort to keep TJ Watt. We'll probably start off 2022 with Rudolph under center with a rookie QB waiting in the wings.

    So apparently the Cleveland defense shouldn't get credit for causing and recovering those turnovers?

    But even still, Chubb tore our defense up pretty good.

    Chubb has some success not going to try and take that from him but turtle ball allows you to pad your stats and grind teams down. Being up three scores allowed them to be conservative. Now had the Steelers stopped them on their own side of the field and got decent field position and scored each time you would have seen the Browns get more aggressive and less turtle ball.

    I think Steelers are prepping for larger contracts for Watt and Fitzpatrick.

    That is two guys you can't let go, and need for the 5-6 seasons for sure.

    Good question. And like so many who have had some success here have found out, the grass is not always greener. He'll show what he's really made of in a new system, one with a lesser supporting cast.

    Maybe not.
    Wouldn't be the 1st time we've seen great players leave , and just disappear.
    Yeah ....because it's the 1st time we've ever seen this.
