OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Whats a Running Back? Does it make the Steel Steeler?

[mynameisnick4]

D outside of watt is garbage. The o is all garbage

Yeah I don't know why this defense is labeled elite by some people.

All I can hope is that this team has bad season and Tomlin is fired…they aren’t doing shit this year

I saw a description of Pickett that is "Josh Allen minus the talent" and I really think that's accurate. He just flat out doesn't have a good enough arm to be making such risky throws, he needs to play within his talent.

Josh Allen has a way better arm than him and he's also turnover prone, make that arm worse and you're just going to get even worse results.

I just think Kenny isn’t very good in general. I’ve been holding out hope for him, but he just doesn’t show me anything outside of passion. And the other issue is he’s not young like a lot of these other QBs.

Yeah I don't know why this defense is labeled elite by some people.

I think only elite as far as pass rush and turnovers. Not really elite in general at all.

That was a perfect pass, right to the pylon, only the wr was in position to make a play on the ball.

Stroud's really impressive for a 4th start rookie, can see his intangibles pretty blatantly.

Man, you are totally wrong... (i'll show you a bunch of data out of context) then I'll say we are really good and Tomlin just needs another 12 good players.

Channeling my favorite HF Pens posters...

Rooney said in the offseason he's grateful he's here.

 

[Rossi Rat]

I couldn’t have named more than a few Texans players before today, but they just look better so far today.

Apparently their total D is 3rd to last in the NFL. But it doesn’t matter who the Steelers play, they’re literally incapable of putting up more than 2 offensive TD’s in any given game. Also the Steelers D is only one spot ahead of them.

 

[Shaftception]

Well Jones is in at least, get a good look at him.

 

[Son Goku]

Christ this is f***ing pathetic man

Our offensive line is hot garbage at best.

 

[RustyRazor]

Incompetence reigns on offense.

I think Pickett's a lower end starter that being put in a horrendous situation. With the Steelers, he's a turnover prone QB on a team with a moronic play caller, a bad offensive line and no rushing game. It's not surprising that he's not having success in that environment.

In hindsight, I wish he would have been drafted literally anywhere else because the Steelers weren't a NFL ready QB on a rookie deal away from being good offensively. The team is relying on the passing game to carry the offense because the running game sucks and Pickett is just flat out not good enough to do that. And that's not only a Pickett thing either, put Purdy in Pickett's spot and he'd be having the same exact issues.

This team was stupid for thinking that they could just put Pickett in Ben's spot and change nothing else and it would work. That's effectively all they did. They needed to actually have some sort of rebuild or retool.

The best part about this Andrew is that this could be a post from any season the past 10 years.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Under center in motion and the defense knew it was a run because they always do but clearly evil Najee is the problem even though the running game for the Steelers has been consistently subpar since Bell left the team over half a decade ago.

 

[Smoke]

This one has a chance to turn in to another Tomlin classic

 

[OnMyOwn]

Aaaaand 3 and out. The Texans blow, so that’s saying something about this team.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

Yeah, that was Harris's fault too... may if he could only DODGE 3 Texans that are 3 yards in our backfield... he would be a really good running back.

 

[Andy99]

This team…lol

Najee sucks and the play calling sucks. I don't know why you're making it an either-or.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Spot them a quarter before you do anything. Interesting strategy for sure.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Its almost chicken or egg with the offense. Everything is bad. The line, the play calling, the runs, the throws.

 

[Shaftception]

Someone with balls should ask Tomlin post-game if they lost their mojo again.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

At this point on offense the Steelers have a bad o-line, bad design, bad play calling, bad RB, and bad QB. It’s honestly dumb to even get frustrated with the offense anymore. They’re playing to their ability.

 

[Son Goku]

If they get a TD here that's game before the 2nd quarter is even half

 

[The Old Master]

i thought they changed the rules so you can't throw to the te

 

[mynameisnick4]

If they go down by 3 possessions then this shit is over.
