Some of Colbert picks are head scratchers. I think he was overrated, especially near the end.
well no doubt, it was time.
I really like what Omar has done with the draft and free agency as well. This team is really getting ready to emerge on offense. If the defense performs as we hope, this team can really have a nice season. Kwon Alexander finally looks like a guy we depend on at ILB.
I agree, he should play way more. It's not like he's Big Ben and we have to keep him healthy because it's a sure thing he's going to throw for 4000 yards and 30 TDs. He's still unproven and it's not definite that he'll be good, he needs more reps.
You don't risk your franchise QB to get him extra reps in meaningless preseason games. He's not getting better playing a few extra series.
If there’s any irk from last night it’s that the first team relied exclusively on the check down short passes. It looked like deeper patterns had been called, but KP had to check down every time. Quite clearly, that was still successful on THIS drive. It was good to see his maturity and accuracy on those plays. But def want to see splash plays like the Austin td with the first team. Over the course of the season the dink and dunk won’t result in enough points.
If the Steelers were in the NFC I would put them as the third best. Afc is just so damn tough. You have some top level teams like Cincy,buffalo and Kansas City but there is also a ton of depth with Jacksonville,Baltimore,jets,chargers. Even the teams below that like Cleveland,New England, Miami are solid.
Good enough for me!Something to keep in mind from last night: 18 of the previous 20 Super Bowl winners have scored a touchdown on their opening preseason drive. I’m not saying we’re going to the Super Bowl, but… we’re going to the Super Bowl.
It’s not popular, I don’t think… unless it works every time like that possession yesterday. But the problem is that it usually doesn’t. It requires near perfection for 10-12 plays every possession and other than perhaps the Brady Patriots in their prime, that usually doesn’t happen.
Fairly popular to say it is what I meant. Some use it as an excuse when an offense looks like excrement.
Well… anything that produces points will be popular. If it works most of the time. But will it? Hey, maybe this will be the year
"Years to come" ? He hasn't earned that yet, when he puts up a full season with like 25 TDs 3500+ yards, maybe a playoff berth, after that, I might "live or die" with him, until then he shouldn't be secure in that position.
What you would do really doesn't matter. He's the guy Tomlin and company are going to ride, and he's going to get ample opportunity over years.
