OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: No 3peat for the Swifts

[Buddy Bizarre]

Sure except this wasn’t the 1st RW lost the ability to audible. RW forces you to run his offense like Rodgers it’s why RW is heading toward 3 teams in 3 games

Still no explanation why Ben was handcuffed and not permitted to audible.
Why am I not surprised...

Like I said, they'd be morons to put such a low priority on a RB with how focused the team's offense is on the rushing game.

It's also funny that you mention Swift and Sanders, both of those guys were 2nd rounders taken 35th and 53rd respectively. The Eagles never relied on round 4 RBs to be successful.

I think you're underselling the Eagles Oline. Barkley is amazing, but the Oline helps him look that way.

This team has a ton of talent on the Oline, but I'm convinced they have a coaching issue in Pat Meyer. B Jones regressed big time. Dan Moore plateued and never got better. Same with Daniels.

I expect Frazier to have a sophomore slump and continue the pattern of rookies plummeting once they have a year in this organization. It happened to Benton and JPJ

These positional coaches flat out suck ass across the board. Can't name 1 position group where you say: they tend to churn out good players here.

OLB? DL? WR?

Some of the issues just have to do with bad draft picks. I can't put it all on the position coach to mold a bad player into a good player.

While I want to bash Pat Meyer, I'm keeping an open mind until mid way through the 2025 season. Zack Frazier was very good this past season. Seamalo has not regressed. McCormick played well for coming from a DII school to the NFL. Daniels was playing well before he got hurt.

Dan Moore was a 4th round pick who has played well for being drafted in that position. It's not his fault they drafted a guy who couldn't actually be a swing tackle. They should have known that before drafting him. For a 4th round pick, I think he has played well.

The Steelers forgot that you need to draft OL high in the draft to get talent.

Someone is really gonna end up with buyers remorse on Jeanty. There are at least 4 RB I'd take ahead of him.

 

[End of Line]

He can cook. He brings that juice that we need too seeing as how we are devoid of skill outside of Pickens.

His injuries concern me.



They already said that Benton is really a 3-tech, but he's definitely better suited for the 5. He can hold up against the run, but we are kind of wasting him in that role.

A surprising stat is that he’s never fumbled the ball in 4 years as starter either.

But tbh I don’t expect them to draft him based on how they’ve drafted in the past couple years. Henderson’s character is off the charts. Same with my why I don’t expect them to draft Ebuka for the same reason. Just isn’t the Steelers M.O. to draft guys like that. Henderson is pretty much a pastor at this point too. Correct me if I’m wrong @ColePens

I think you are allowing a singular person, e.g. Pickens, to cloud your assessment. All of the guys they have drafted over the past few years have been model citizens and players. Minus the other diva WRs, Johnson, Claypool.

To say they would hold a players good character against them is ridiculous.

It wasn’t just Pickens
