    I had the same question. I just thought it was because I’m old and don’t do social media. Although, I do check my email every couple of months

    Handoff? Heck, you and I can do that. Isn’t a QB supposed to toss the ball?

    I didn’t realize that, I thought he played every time except the last game he got hurt in.

    No . Just the 2 times. One time last year, and one time the year before.
    The year before that they didn't start him till they were done with us on the schedule.
    Kind of strange.
    Its almost like they are afraid of Us for him. LoL

    The 3-4 when executed right is made to contain mobile QB'S especially if you have guys like Shazier or Bush that can go sideline to sideline.

    I was discussing this with a friend of mine the other day.
    I was telling him ....the more Scrambling, or Running type QBs we see...the more we will see teams go 2 the 3-4, and more Zone.
    If you watch,most the Teams that are mostly Man across the board , are the ones that get hurt most by these types of Qbs. Usually.

    CHRIS HANN SR. FROM SARASOTA, FL: As you are aware the 2021 schedule has been released. Totally understand that we play the teams in our division and then will play certain divisions in different years, and who we play is determined by our record the prior year. However, why have we opened on the road the last seven years?
    ANSWER: The situation on Pittsburgh's North Shore is that because of the proximity of Heinz Field and PNC Park, the Steelers and Pirates share many of the same parking lots. Because baseball is still being played in early September when the NFL season begins, the Steelers schedule is impacted by the Major League Baseball schedule. Because Major League Baseball announces its schedule before the NFL announces its schedule, and because the Steelers and Pirates cannot conveniently play home games on the same date because of the parking situation, the Steelers have opened their regular season on the road for seven straight years.

    Interesting very interesting

    Steelers need to win the Super Bowl so they don't have that problem.

    More often that not, 4-3 is better vs. Lord Brady, Rodgers, Mahomes, etc. Only 3-4's to give the goat fits was Broncos with generational talent Von Miller and Ravens hybrid 3-4 in late 00's and early 10's. Steelers 3-4 got tooled by Brady, Rodgers, etc.

    Extremely tough schedule. It will either forge this team into champs, or leave them in ruins. I don't see much middle ground.

    Those final four games doubly so and no less. There really is no room for error when approaching that proverbial home stretch.

    Final Four of the schedule is TOUGH. That said, it is still too early to determine how exactly this all will play out. Remember, crazy things happen in the Off Season; injuries, suspensions, etc.


    Who knows how the season will turn out?! All I can say is that this season is going to be interesting for certain. There is one major positive aspect though; OTAs and Training Camp return! Hopefully fewer injuries occur now.

    :hmm:


    Not one 3-4 Defense is Coordinated the same. For that matter, you contradicted that via the second statement. However, none of this is a factor. Why?!



    Base Defenses are very seldom seen in the NFL Today anymore. It is no longer about personnel matchups based on formations. It is personnel matchups based on the personnel themselves.




    There are variations of said base defenses for certain. However, not one time actually fields a base defense a majority of the time. It is all sub package football as the "Defensive Personnel Weapon" is changing how Defenses compete against these spread offenses.

    So why does TJ cover receivers in the end zone sometimes?

    That answer is simple. Offenses are forcing players like TJ Watt into unfavorable matchups. All the more reason that multi role Defensive players like Minkah or Terrell are essential. The more options a Defensive Coordinator has to cover up their weaknesses, the less they have to worry about their top players being schemed against.

    Bottom line is... Steelers, more often than not, play crappy D vs the elite QBs.

    Okay... and...


    More often than not, Elite QBs can decimate great defenses.

    Thanks. Just didn't make sense seeing someone built like TJ trying to keep up with players much faster/ quicker. I would think not the most favorable of situations IMO>
