Cutting back a few snaps on Watt does not mean that he barely sniffs the field (which is the criticism you are talking about). He'd still be a...
I don't fault Bell for trying to get the most possible. I fault him for expecting the Steelers to pay it, instead of the teams that traditionally...
Why is it all or nothing? A few snaps to Harrison ≠ benching a starter. Watt was quoted about not experiencing the rookie "wall". That was right...
Probably not, but maybe it would have. 2-5 still gets a player involved in the game, a chance to use that adrenaline. Zero means they spent a week...
I don't see this. I don't think the Steelers have ever started a rookie DB that early (outside of Lake??), let alone have things go as smoothly as...
The way I look at it, Conner was the 41st pick of the 3rd round, third from last. Closer to being a 4th rounder than a (non-compensatory) 3rd...
Bud is a starter. JH was a backup. Not the same expectations. For me, I wanted JH to get a few snaps each week, so that the starting OLBs would...
After the draft (or at the end of preseason), the Steelers may need to sweeten a deal if a player they want is cut by another team. (Unlikely, but...
I'm going to create a hypothetical situation. If the NFL can create a catch rule which would make it consistent what the call should be (in all 3...
I'll be the Patriots GM. I will trade all of the 2018 draft picks for the Steelers' 2019 7th round draft pick. (But it can't be a compensation...
Canaday could have turned out to be exactly the player that Arizona cut 3 games into his previous season. If the Steelers would have chosen Holba...
None of which is guaranteed. Easily cut by the end of preseason. Or kept if there are injuries or nothing better shows up.
Steelers were leading that game 15-0 going into the 4th quarter. Would Cincy still "have us beat" without Burfict's action, leading up to the...
Suh is still alive. And just because he is dirty, I think talk about beating him is a bit much. :beathorse:
You are right that it would be bad for kids to imitate Bell, but if they could actually do what Bell does, that would be different. Bell isn't...
Right there is probably the reason to not sign them. Their market price is at its peak. Not good value for the Steelers. (Same with any players on...
That sounds like an assassination threat. "Sign a contract, or you will end your life as a Steeler."
From the articles I read, nope. The player checked with the referee if he was lined up properly. Even if it *should* have been called an illegal...
The lesson is to enjoy having your starting QB on his rookie contract while you can. I've read that they already have to make a bunch of...
I'm not in that camp. I don't think Porter can take credit or blame for Watt this year. At the moment, I think the credit for Watt can be split...
