@TimmyD on the bright side youll have a new coach next year. Likely Peyton.

He’s probably avoiding all media and football talk like I would.

That would be rough as hell.

I’m used to Tomlin teams just getting rolled in the playoffs so there is never any big opponent comebacks.

Trying to think of the biggest Steelers playoff loss that involved a big comeback.

Yeah sometimes losses like that can be a blessing in disguise to get the changes needed to get the right people in.

Would mean a few significant cap moves

It should be pretty easy for them to open up a ton of cap space. Just cutting Will Jackson, Trubisky, and Witherspoon creates over 20 million.

Then any contract can be structured so there’s a small cap hit in year one like all of the contracts Colbert did this past offseason. The cap won’t be an issue.

Ya, would blow to root for an org that remains complacent.

Not that I’d know anything about that…

 

[JTG]

Tries to use big words but they don't mean what he thinks they mean?

 

[Peat]

...and that you are better off being a late round pick to a good team than an early pick to a bad one.

Truth.

At 17 there is a very real possibility a guy who was supposed to be top 10 falls into our laps. It happens every single year, and it is why I always say when people say, "oh this guy will be gone by then" to not to necessarily count on that if they didn't start the year, and remain throughout the year, in the top 10 of the rankings consistently. We all talk about the draft so much, and we all read so many publications, that by time the draft comes, we all have 50 prospects in the 1st round.

This feels like an overstatement.

This far out? Sure, but everyone's talking as things stand.

Once you get closer... maybe every other year, judging from a quick comparison of final consensus big boards and the actual drafts. Whether someone has 50 guys in the first is irrelevant to the top 10, top 15, because most of them are potential guys for 16 onwards.

Top 10... I think most people at this stage have 5-6 guys they know will be there, and maybe 6-10 guys they think might be there. Top 15, 8-10 guys they know will be there, another 10 guys who might be there.

In any case, I'd rather hear/say "that's not realistic" than wade through a bunch of starry eyed mocks that insist we can get the dream faller every step of the way not that I'm seeing a lot of either here.

 

[Josey Wales]

Per
@JosinaAnderson
, the Atlanta Falcons have requested to interview Steelers coach Brian Flores for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

Strong "if we score more points than the other team, I like our chances" vibe there.

Say a bunch without saying anything at all.

 

[Pens1566]

Yep, almost perfect Tomlin pick. If only he were from OSU it'd be a definite.

 

[Empoleon8771]

The Bills are a likable team but good god they're such frauds.

 

[Gurglesons]

It’s in their blood lol.

 

[JTG]

McDaniel's success makes Shanahan's coaching tree that much more valuable, IMO. I'd love for us to poach someone from the SF staff.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Its kind of amazing how many teams are bad with clock management.

 

[Ulf5]

Sounding a lot more like Tremaine Edmunds is going to end up here. Big pickup, if true.

Seth Walder

@SethWalder


Tremaine Edmunds has four passes defended today, the most by any LB in a game over the last two seasons (regular or postseason), per
@SterlingXie
and

Except anyone who watched the all 22 will tell they had tons of wide open Wr all year

Ha, as usual you’re full of it.

The all 22 showed guys open when Mitch was starting. Both in exhibition and reg season.

Most of the passing attack consists of plays where receivers run 10 yards down the field and turn around. Not exactly bill Walsh’s offensive design. Not even close to what San Fran is doing presently either.

It’s Exactly what you see on djs catch and run to the 2 yard line last week vs. Cleveland .

KP actually throws him open putting the ball into a space away from the defender in front of DJ after he turns around

Vikings are such a joke

They were pretty much the 2020 Steelers. A pretty mediocre team with a good record.

Do you have the all 22 or not ?

I opened 2 of those links and neither claimed ‘receivers open in the 22’ like you claimed.
So WTF are you talking about.
Can you dispute what I said on the DJ catch and run? Running 10 yards down the field, turning around and facing the back of the LB. before KP throws away from the spot to get him open.

You can put Mahomes in this system designed by dumb and dumber and he’d look pedestrian.

There’s tons of still shots in the links from all 22
DJ definitely didn’t have a ton opportunities to catch in run like he did in 21. When he did he ran backwards trying to make a play.
The system is basic west coast stuff the same offense Kp runs in college

Baltimore's roster is so well constructed. They under perform with the players they have, IMO.

 

[mynameisnick4]

I want Baltimore to win just so the Lamar drama gets amplified even more, though it seems like a long shot.
