Unlike some other players, this guy got better after the contract. Might be the best back in the NFL.

Imagine if we had Jacobi Meyers. Glad we kept those mid round picks.

whose he gonna throw it to? How are Pars against TE’s. We have no WR. Glad we didn’t trade for Jacobi Meyers. and play 10 yards off the WR’s. 😜

would have liked to see some help with Hairston on Higgins (Bishop coming over). Hariston seemed isolated, and that's a size mismatch.

not sure the need to apologize. He was not great at the beginning of the season. Meanwhile, the last 2 weeks he has been on fire, including against Chase. I wonder if he needs to blitz to get mentally "in" the game, like how JA seems to need to run the ball to get totally "in" the game.

I think as you stated, a number 1 WR. Too often no one is open, even yesterday, JA had to become superman to lead us to TDs because no one could get open for an inordinate amount of time. I also think our 3rd down defense being better would be a massive upgrade.

Both those guys have something McD doesn't. Meanwhile, McD has something both of those guys would have loved to have on their team. Bean should be gone. Bean has spent an inordinate amount of cap space and draft capital on the front 7 with nothing to show for it. Meanwhile, he has totally ignored and/or botched the WR position. Not a huge fan of McD and the way the defense aligns, but it would be nice if someone in the front 4 got pressure. Groot is a total disappointment. AJ is pretty much as advertised.

Agree with the first sentence, not the second. Hoecht had a good game and was average prior to being here. Oliver popped then vanished.

Censere (pronounced Sincere) Lee, from Pitt.

I'd like a new coach, but a new GM may be more of a need. We simply have no talent, but how much of the talent acquisition is Bean acting on behalf of McD? I think a coach like Kubiak or Shula would be great here. The hiring of intro coordinators during Allen's SB window is a bit perplexing.

Number 3 on the list is interesting. Why are Ford and Settle both productive before and after their times here? It's like a mystery of the DL. Secondary players do better (at least for a while) when we bring them in. Overall, I agree. We paid too many of the wrong guys, basically overpaying good but not great players at the expense of nabbing 1-2 more great players. You need more great/elite guys to win a SB with a bunch of above-average guys and some JAGs.

I hope you're right. But I'm not sure drastically changing things up is part of the stubborn process. Ideally we come out with our normal D, and if that does not work, have a plan B like you described to unleash.

dude is killing my fantasy team. Starting Brissett over him this week, which likely ensures Lamar accounts for 4+ TDs.

um, Slay did say no. Retirement is his only leverage.

it does. But it was widely reported in Pittsburgh papers that Slay wanted to start and that was why he was released. Not sure how Bean missed that.
