OT: Astonishingly Pitt is the best football team in the city
- Thread starter The Ole Six-Fiver
- Start date
I like Penix as well, although he was scary bad last night. The big knock on him is the horrible injury history, if I remember correctly he had season ending injuries 3-4 years in a row.
That’s true. If he was available in the second round, I think it’d be worth taking him if they’re not sold on Pickett.
For this team with its OL that doesn’t open holes, or not for very long anyway, he’s the better bet at this time.
Harris needs to be included more in the passing game; get him in space
Probably the best corner we have at this point repeatedly blanketing the current top receiver in the league. Your crap is tired, old and wrong. Bring some stats instead of finding his one play he hasn't made all year. Oh that's right, you can't because all his stats are impressive.
Go find a new team to root for so you don't have to root against this one.
Best drive of the season right there!
Amazing what it looks like with another competent WR in the lineup.
Harris needs to be told to run north/south only. He can still be effective. When he starts side stepping is when he stinks.
But I absolutely agree with the second part. He’s shifty enough that in space it could work.
I wish every game would begin with us either tied or trailing in the fourth quarter… Kenny knows how to turn it on when it counts!
I don’t think people realize how big of an impact Johnson has on this lineup, even if his numbers don’t necessarily reflect it.
He’s one of the best route-runners in the league and has the ability to get himself open. Pickens is good at the one-on-one deep balls, but he can’t create separation like Johnson; this led to him blanketed by the safety help over top while #18 was out. It’s tough to win those 50/50 balls when you’re double teamed without another threat on the field.
Austin also brings another element to the offense with his speed, but he’s still very raw as a receiver. You almost need to have packages designed for him to get him involved, which they’ve done quite a bit.
I know, right? I've felt pretty hopeless so far this football season, but that drive made me think the Steelers might at least turn the corner
Done! Finally the secondary is holding when the rush isn't there.
They notoriously turned the offense around (relatively speaking) after the bye week last season… perhaps we see something similar this year?
I hope so. They're pretty fortunate to be where they are right now in the standings. They could make a serious run.
Pickett looking sharp now. Thought it was unfair from some to say he sucked while having to play most of the season with just basically Pickens as his only target.
And wait until he gets Freiermuth back. Getting 24+ points after the bye week makes me very optimistic…
Credit where it's due: Pickett has had a great second half.
I think they might bring that back before that measurement.
Edit: Nope. Lol. Bad spot, but oh well.
KP killed it in second half and some of you dolts are ready to trade Watt to bring in Penix. Lol.
It's nice to see some officiating go our way!
Haha as bad/fixed as last night was, that spot was possibly worse/more fixed. But ok
Perfect sequence of events, Rams no timeouts and on the plus side of 2 minute warning. I think that would’ve been reversed.
