OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: 5 and 2 Justin who? Hand the Fields to Wilson

[Andy99]

Because he probably has no part in the Steelers' future unlike Jones and Fautanu. Long term, finding out whether Jones has it at LT is worth more to the Steelers than good play from Moore today.

Tbh, now I'm thinking about it, it's not great that the Steelers will be deciding at the end of the season whether they believe in Jones as a LT after barely getting to see him there.

And if they are planning to re-sign Moore because they can’t effectively develop Jones, they should be trading Jones before the trade deadline for a young WR 2 so we get something for him….we should have drafted a WR like Thomas in the first round this year instead of “knee problem” Fautanu

 

[Shockmaster]

If they love Moore so much, and were satisfied with Jones at RT after last season, they should have drafted a WR instead of Fautanu.

Why does it say Watt only has two sacks? He got two the first game, and hit Nixs ankle for a sack last game. Isn't that 3? Lol

Thought he only had one the first game? One that counted...

Haven't seen any reports that it's season ending so maybe just a partial tear?

I think the team has to designate him for return, right, or is that only before the season? By saying he’s on IR, is that basically saying it’s for the season? Nevermind: DK says out at least 4 weeks…

4 weeks is the minimum for IR

Now we know the reason why we got him at 20OA. This along with the Aiyuk fiasco is coming back to bite this team. Khan not looking so good.

Roman Wilson a healthy scratch. That’s both very Tomlin and very suboptimal for this WR room.

 

[Andy99]

Dulac also has an article saying Fautanu looks like he’ll be on IR the remainder of the season…we could have had a WR instead of another OL taken in round one back to back…I lobbied heavily at the draft in this thread for that and I hate that I was right lol

 

[TooManyHumans]

You aren't right because a guy got injured. A WR we drafted could have also gotten injured. In fact, the one we drafted did get injured and is still out.

I thought they should have taken Thomas in round one…don’t think Wilson ever had a chance to make an impact this season…he was limited in what he was asked to do at Michigan…by all accounts Thomas has been good for a shitty Jacksonville team

 

[Captain Hook]

Hard to blame them if they are being extra careful with Roman Wilson after Fautanu went down so quickly after returning from his injury.

Really sucks Fautanu got hurt. He looked really good against Denver and the additions of him and Frazier had me optimistic about the O-Line going forward. We just have to hope Jones can get it together in his absence.

 

[xlm34]

Roman Wilson needed training probably more than some of the other rookies needed camp to make an impact for this team. A slot only WR (as of now) that doesn’t play special teams isn’t going to do much for how this team is trying to play.

Hopefully the start to phase him over the next couple weeks but him not playing today isn’t all that crazy to me.

Going with the extra DL Dean Lowry. I want to see Roman Wilson too but the extra depth on the DL probably more important for a game like this.

 

[End of Line]

I expect this game to be what Big Ten football was in the 70’s. A slogfest.

Yeah it shapes up to feel like Iowa and Wisconsin. So since it’s so obvious it’ll be 34-31.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Steelers are 1-6 in the last 7 home openers

 

[Empoleon8771]

Bosa hurt already on the first play

 

[WickedWrister]

Uhhh not sure what the whole right side of the OL was doing there...

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Jones. Come on man

 

[Empoleon8771]

This team simply needs to fix his running game. Bad play by Jones to give up the sack on Fields there as well.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

That looked like a qb draw. I really hate how risk averse this team is. Garbage football.

 

[End of Line]

Jones had no idea what he was doing on that play
