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

[Buddy Bizarre]

its definitely a vision problem

I've been beating the vision issues drum since his rookie year

I think the work done on the line this offseason becomes Najee's last chance if he's gonna prove it's not.

 

[JTG]

And with all of these RBs out there, go get one if Najee doesn't become better at finding holes.

i don't think this gm would hesitate.

 

[Rossi Rat]

To anyone interested, Paul Steigerwald will be filling in for Mark today on the Mark Madden Show. I personally wish it was John, but I’ll still be getting my Steigerwald fix.

Ah, STEIGGY!

2024 NFL Offensive Line Rankings, All 32 Teams

Best offensive lines for the 2023 NFL season. Ranking all 32 NFL offensive lines by team, including every positional group in the NFL.

The Steelers offensive line is ranked 14th here, tied with the Bengals with a score of 54. Here's the writeup:

The offensive line was the unit with biggest jump for Pittsburgh, going from 30th all the way up to 14th this year. The addition of Broderick Jones in the first round of the draft gives them a plug-and-play left tackle, and Isaac Seumalo comes over from Philadelphia to solidify that side of the line. Last year, the Steelers were seventh in pass block win rate.

I’m definitely curious to see how Jones fares this preseason. I’ve seen some people say they expect him to win the job and others say that it’s not particularly close between him and Moore (with the edge to Moore).

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

I’ve read Jones is doing really well with the ground game but having his struggles in pass protection with bull rushers.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Good to see the play calling looks the exact same as it did last year

Pickett looks good though. He and Johnson look much more on the same page so far.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Nice look off by KP on the TD.

 

[Empoleon8771]

35 yard TD pass from Pickett to Pickens. Perfect pass by Pickett and some nice moves by Pickens to take it in.

Hell of an opening drive. Pickett went 6/7 with 70 yards and the one incompletion was him throwing out of a sack.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Um KP is looking very very good. Great timing with DJ especially. And Pickens making that fake look easy to score.

Great first drive.

35 yard TD pass from Pickett to Pickens. Perfect pass by Pickett and some nice moves by Pickens to take it in.

Hell of an opening drive. Pickett went 8/9 with 70 yards and the one incompletion was him throwing out of a sack.

Chuks is the obvious weak link on that line. Even on the TD his guy was gonna get there if it took any longer.

 

[xlm34]

That’s about as good as you can expect from the offense. They actually threw to the middle of the field too.

 

[End of Line]

I know it’s just preseason, but I hate seeing the home uni’s for a road game

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Missed first drive but stats look good for kp. He look good?

 

[OnMyOwn]

Missed first drive but stats look good for kp. He look good?

Yes, about as good as you can look. Didn’t stare receivers down. Went through progressions and moved around to find open receivers downfield. Ball placement was where it needed to be. Only thing we didn’t see was a deep shot.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Pickett first drive: 11 plays, 83 yards and a TD
Trubisky's first drive: 4 and out after gaining 4 yards

I'm still going to watch the game but my interest is pretty much evaporated if Kenny isn't playing.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Trubisky with a pick on his next possession

 

[Peat]

Oops.

 

[Peat]

Nice work run defence.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Kendrick Green needs cut.

 

[xlm34]

Kendrick Green is impressively bad. Like I kind of feel bad for the dude.

 

[Flying Dego]

Quick first half impressions:
-KP looks like a vet. Smooth command that drive. Exciting times if this is him all year.
-Both DJ and Pickens looked great. Pickens with a great juke to score. He could be a double digit TD guy no doubt.
-Kwon Alexander was everywhere. He wants to be a starter and it showed.
-Austin and McFarland have great speed. Like to see them utilized.

-Green needs a new profession.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Been watching Jones all game. Got stood up on a bull rush and put on roller skates early on, but has looked good since.

You mean other than fullback
