OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Super Bowl? Thats like a giant pot of chips or popcorn right?

[pistolpete11]

Somebody here called it earlier. The Steelers don't have that much leverage to trade the pick because they can trade with Arizona (or even Detroit) to take Levis.

I would have been pissed to make that trade and then lose out on JPJ or Branch.

Except the Steelers play like 75% zone…

They play like the 3rd or 4th most man coverage in the league.

I

he grades well in zone. PSU played both.

I'm not looking at sentiment , I'm looking at the guy's Talent. It seems like you're holding his father's Legacy in Pittsburgh against them. That's as unfair as saying we should take him because he's showing Porter son. I look at his skill set and the fact that we're addressing an area of need and I'm happy with it.

Personally, I think they need help in the middle more at inside linebacker.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Honestly I think it’s possible that Porter Jr could have slid down to 41 if the Steelers did that Titans trade, but just getting a 3rd next year isn’t worth trading out of 32

They were one of the most man heavy teams in the league last year

D line or pass rusher…they have no one to spell Watt and Highsmith

Yes it is …lol

 

[td_ice]

So who we liking for 49??

 

[Ryder71]

Strongly disagree, offensive tackle and corner where our two most pressing issues. And we signed a couple free agents. I think Roberts and Holcomb will do a pretty good job. I would say they're modest upgrade over what we had last year. I think we may go after a linebacker with the next pick. But you just got a guy who was for a long time a top 20 pick. And you don't want to reach for any position if you can help it.

Tomlin likes to play a lot of zone…if that’s the case, there was a reason because most years we play a ton of zone

So who we liking for 49??

I like White or Benton if they’re there

 

[WickedWrister]

Claypool for JPJ

 

[xlm34]

So who we liking for 49??

It'd be crazy, but maybe Branch falls? If not him, I like Benton a lot.

White and benton would be good, simpson maybe even dawand jones

White and benton would be good, simpson maybe even dawand jones

obviously branch if he drops as well

 

[Pens1566]

Like I said before, if his name was anything different we wouldn't even be talking about him. He's gonna get blown by and can't catch up without holding/interfering.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Yes it is …lol

And what do they have at inside linebacker?

We've been watching a shit show there since Shazier.

 

[The Old Master]

or maybe ringo

 

[WickedWrister]

f*** it, let’s trade up for Branch if he slips any further.

 

[Flying Dego]

f*** it, let’s trade up for Branch if he slips any further.

Sure if it's 49 + next years 4th

 

[wheelz87]

f*** it, let’s trade up for Branch if he slips any further.

49+80 to move up? I could see it

 

[Jaded-Fan]

f*** it, let’s trade up for Branch if he slips any further.

One of the defensive backs will be there if they want to go that route.

 

[wheelz87]

Like I said before, if his name was anything different we wouldn't even be talking about him. He's gonna get blown by and can't catch up without holding/interfering.

Saw him at NA and wasn’t blown away. Yea. 4 years ago. Just a gut feeling he’s just an average guy.

 

[Andy99]

Like I said before, if his name was anything different we wouldn't even be talking about him. He's gonna get blown by and can't catch up without holding/interfering.

Agree…not a big fan

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

Bullshit

You dont have to like his game but that is total nonsense

 

[Andy99]

And what do they have at inside linebacker?

We've been watching a shit show there since Shazier.

They just signed two guys…give them a chance lol

 

[Goalie_Bob]

This just isn’t true.
