Not to mention a should be pretty much fully healthy DL minus probably Phillips. We’ll be just fine 1 Quote

Yes Pickett is a rookie, but he’s got solid playmakers around him. Our secondary is atrocious, think god our Dline can pass rush…… I wouldn’t say atrocious, this secondary that we’ll be trotting out there on Sunday did alright against a pretty potent Miami passing attack. But yeah, the Steelers will get some big plays for sure. Just gotta limit them. (Duh). Quote

It might cost us a game, but we need them healthy for the end of the season and the playoffs... Quote

So if he's "human and not stupid", does that mean he's overlooking Pittsburgh because he's human, or not overlooking Pittsburgh because he's not stupid? Quote

RiotAct Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 did McDermott mention anything about what the frig is going on with Tre White? Quote

Hopefully he is coaching the hell out of Hamlin and Johnson. But this is a big loss for us. I think his injury is similar to Justin Herbert. Quote

I'm a bit surprised Crowder hasn't gone on IR yet. Perhaps Crowder goes to IR within a few weeks when we sign OBJ Quote

Steelers have some good receivers...Claypool(870 yards) and Johnson(1161 yards) aren't huge names but put up over 2K yards between them last year and Pickens looks like he is going to be an excellent player. One thing they have been able to do very consistently over the years is draft good WR's. I would expect Pickett to much better at playing fearless than Trubisky was so the Bills are going to be challenged by him I would bet. He isn't just going to play safe. That's not to say it will work, but they will have to make their share of plays, he isn't going to just dink and dunk like Trubisky would have. I'd really love to see what Claypool could do with the Bills...he would be a monster in his offense. Edited October 7, 2022 by Big Turk Quote

I almost wonder if they’re letting him stay out until his wife gives birth. Zimmer tore his ACL about the same time and is back. Quote

Claypool drops a lot of passes. Steelers' fans rage about this all the time. Quote

I'm a bit surprised Crowder hasn't gone on IR yet. They are likely waiting to put crowder on IR until Saturday afternoon deadline when they activate the PS WR (Hodgins or gentry). It’s a small thing i know as there isn’t much film on them but no reason to do it now, so Steelers won’t have any way to prep for the new WR. 2 Quote

Part of the "secondary hold up" strategy seemed to be for the offense to play "keep away" and grind down the field. In Miami, that was kind of a "pyrrhic strategy" because it meant the patchwork OL, Josh, and the WR were all limp biscuit by the end of the drive. With a forecast high of 56/partly cloudy in Orchard Park, it might work better. Quote

gonzo1105 Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 I suspect we're not going to have Edmunds so we are definitely going to be short handed in the back 7 but hopefully our pass rush can speed up Pickett's thought process on things. Quote
eball Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Really hate to see Poyer miss another game, but it *shouldn’t* matter against a rookie QB. Quote
