Yeah but he had 1 pressure and one tackle. If you’re going up against Dan Moore, wouldn’t you expect him to get to the QB? He should get massive demerits for not filling the stat sheet. Like at all.
Kenny is a mess

I actually saw a video on it posted someplace (might have even been on this board, actually). They explained how the defensive linemen can't help if a team is game planning for them and running away from them, getting the ball out early, etc. They showed him "winning" (by their definition) against Dan Moore. I guess it makes sense. Like it's not difficult for a team to scheme one player out of a game and limit the stats he can get.
Play him as an Hback and use Washington as TE to block. He's a good receiver and a bigger target between the has marks or in the red zone.
I remember last year and it was worse. Kenny seems to be better when they roll the pocket, particularly going to his left. That also inhibits the DL from pinning their ears back. I hope Canada uses more of that moving forward.
Would an edge rusher who is technically an OLB be any different? Why can’t Watt be schemed out of a game because he never is? You know I’m not being argumentative here with you, but I genuinely don’t know the answer as to why?
People at PFF might say Garrett is better against the run, and maybe that’s true but there’s not a player in football that I’ve ever seen make more splash plays and is more valuable to a teams W/L record than TJ Watt. And it’s not like I’m a goofy star eyed fan. I just know what I see. If Watt plays 17 games, he will blow HIS NFL sack record away. I’ll say 27 sacks and 8-10 Forced fumbles. Miles Garrett has never had more than 4 forced fumbles in a season and no more than 16 sacks. So if Watt plays an entire season, the numbers won’t be close. And they will be legendary. Injuries are the only thing that can slow him down.
I honestly have never understood why the continued insistence to prop up Myles Garrett. Parsons is better than him too, and probably Bosa without looking at the numbers.
Another thing, and sorry for the rant…but the Steelers tried to scheme Crosby out of the game last night and couldn’t. But every time the Steelers play Garrett, like last week, the guy is just an average Joe.
yeah, as far as impact player, i'd probably take micah parsons over anyone. pains me to say that too since he's a psu guy. dude can play like 4 different positions on defense and be great at all of them..
watching Jaylen hurts' protections versus KP's is just unbelievable. the eagles OL is Georgia Bulldogs and steelers is IUP.
they actually got better run blocking as last year progressed. same point in time this year versus last? equally horrible.
I was really impressed with Crosby.
The announcers said he didn't like people saying he is a big time effort guy, because he sees that as a slight on his talent. I kind of get that, he clearly is a freak athlete, but he also IS a max effort guy.
Garret and Watt are very different players. Garret is much better against the run and just generally a very solid player that takes a lot away from you. You almost have to just avoid him. You know how a good CB looks like he disappeared in a game but in reality the QB just never threw his way because he covers so well? Garret is kind of in the same boat. Steelers went out of their way to avoid him. So did Cincy. The Titans did very little to neutralize him and he spent all day on top of Tannehill.
Watt was exposed in the run game last year because he was hurt, is always pass first, and the Steelers were so bad at LB. It's better this year but if you watch closely, teams will show Watt a look that gets him to pass rush himself out of the play. Browns are really good at it. Just never takes an inside line. He is an outstanding pass rusher and if you can keep a team's run game in check, he forces the QB to do things faster than he wants. While he's on top, he's really fun to watch and if he stays healthy, is going to really push the sack record. Don't get me wrong, definite value in that. Reality is that Watt is a one-trick pony who is very, very good at one thing. Nothing wrong with that but it's just so different than what other players bring to the table.
I'll add that if Parsons stays healthy, he is probably defensive MVP this year. Talk about disruptive.
i think it was the first throw...maybe 2nd - he was an out right by the sideline. i'm screaming at the tv: "throw the ####ing ball INSIDE the numbers!!!!" thankfully, canada did a bit more than the previous 2 games.
when your OL is that bad, you need receivers inside the QB's field of vision. if he turns right and looks to the sideline, that's his only chance for a completion. have to turn fight, square up, and throw. receiver will be blanketed as it's not far off the LOS. interception percentage is high. completion percentage is lower. yardage is minimal. pointless call unless the defense is giving you the sidelines.
