I agree that using two tight ends is the best fit for their talent. It just doesn't fit with McCarthy's past preferences.
They can only play one at a time. They had two quality backs last year in Warren and Gainwell. They had two quality backs the year before in...
I'm not sure what their presence has to do with it. McCarthy has a tendency to go three wide or a fullback.
No one said Warren played badly, but in relation to the overall discussion, he also had a high variance in his game. Unlike Dowdle, his variance...
Most of this is true, but that he was an UDFA doesn't mean much.
Maybe in the old offense, but I think McCarthy is more likely to start three receivers than two tight ends. That might depend a lot on how quickly...
I'm not even sure Heidenreich is going to be a running back in the NFL. Maybe in passing situations only. Such a different skill set than Johnson's.
That last bit is an easy part to forget, that Porter grew up with money and has security from his family that most young players don't have.
You mean the bullpen that sucks, in part, because they threw it together with scraps?
No, but I wouldn't be shocked if the Bart trade saved them a few bucks. I don't know how anyone could pay attention to the Pirates without being...
That is as deep as he has gone in a game this season. He hadn't gone more than five before tonight, and had only thrown over 80 pitches once....
Which is exactly what I do. Hopefully, he is more consistent in 2026.
That is a fair concern, but a big part of the point of hiring McCarthy is that he's a much better offensive coach than Smith. The rotation to...
That is helpful, but the guy still misses quite a few tackles, and he is no longer good enough to cover top receivers. We saw plenty of evidence...
That's what the folks using this against Porter often say, too, unless the so-called experts write something they like. Then it becomes gospel.
You and I were demonstrating the same thing. You were pushing the idea that Dowdle is a high-variance rusher, so I used those three games to show...
So, he's Number 12? And one of the top 10 isn't primarily a cornerback. Yes, the Steelers need to keep Porter despite one foolish poster...
Agreed. Bringing back Ramsey made little sense. He is at his best when he can be aggressive and attack, but I don't see that working well at free...
Yeah, trading Bart looks like a very bad idea. Rodriguez has battled injuries for two years and they trusted him to stay healthy. The Pirates...
Sorry, but I'm not accepting any of your false premises here. I made two points in the post to which you were responding. One was that the huge...
