Steelers 12.4 thread

[Fk_Pitt]

Most profound thing in this game so far…

Najee looks good.

I’ll be happy to eat crow if he starts to be a plus player for the Steelers. I’ll never back off being critical of drafting a RB in the 1st round. But I have said he’s the worst starting back in the league. Statistically he was. But he’s looked good the last couple weeks.

It would be nice if Dionte Johnson could actually catch the ball.

18 bein’ 18.

 

[deepelemblues]

He's gonna end up with 1 million dollars for every drop by the end of this year

Yeah 14 more drops in 5 and a half more games is a lot but it's Diontae Dropson he can do it

I was thinking the same thing about Najee.

I think Kenny Fastball has reared his head a few times though. But that’s something I would think can be addressed.

 

[BFo8]

Really nice catch by Hayward there.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

That won't go down as a drop, but that's another ball that Johnson should have caught. He heard the safety coming, and as James Lofton said, his arms got a little shorter.

Conner Hayward just caught his first NFL TD in a city where Ironhead played. Pretty cool.

Ha. And right on cue KP lays one in right where it needs to be.

With his bro on the sideline to be with him

3 Drives = 3 Scores for Steelers

His last TD catch was in that stadium too playing for MSU vs Pitt.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

His last TD catch was in that stadium too playing for MSU bs Pitt.

This one was a lot more enjoyable to watch.

Sadly I was thinking the same thing. In the same end zone.

 

[BreakingPitt]

would almost rather have claypool over him.

 

[sonofabit]

Well 18 got in the way of that roll out pass……

He's usually OK on the ones where he's squared up to the QB and the ball hits him right in the gut.

So am I

I like that draft pick we are getting so I’m very cool with it.

But I didn’t like the money we committed in DJ.

I was thinking the same thing.The one he caught v Pitt was the killer

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

That's a really dumb play by Simms.

 

[TheChair]

That's a really dumb play by Simms.

Their WRs are largely not good. Pickens has a world of potential, but I am about done with Diontae. He gets so open, makes very hard catches, puts too many easy catches on the ground. Never seen a guy put more easy balls on the ground than him.

Maybe they will be able to trade him for what they used on him (a 3rd) in the offseason. Very talented physically, but just too inconsistent.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Get better WRs and a LT for Pickett. Offense will be good.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

I'm not sure what the thinking is there running a play instead of just taking a knee.

 

[ShipofFools]

Wonder what is going on with Pickens.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Lamar Jackson just got hurt in Ravens game.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

You could make a highlight tape of what not to do with this Sims guy.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

Who is this Najee Harris dude???

 

[BFo8]

Who is this Najee Harris dude???

Always thought of him as a high end back when healthy, unfortunately he is dinged up more often then not. He almost runs too hard, would be better served not fighting to the death on every carry.

 

[sonofabit]

Piling on 18 here. Loften was right. He needed to slow down and draw the PI or catch the TD since he saw the ball.

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

Dam. The Falcons finally realize they’re a running team and the Steelers have an awful running defense

 

[BFo8]

OT but quite the game going on in Houston. The 2 offenses have combined for a total of 3 points while the defenses/special teams have put 16 points up on the board.

 

[Chaos]

TJ Watt is in the game, but he's basically been invisible. I assume that he's not really healthy.

 

[sonofabit]

Can count on an east-west run by Canada when the Steelers were gashing their run defense. But #89?

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

He was a terrible extension. Impossible to trade now as well given everyone knows he stinks

 

[CCHS82]

Pickens has to learn to control his emotions. He can’t be bad mouthing his teammates out loud. Thinking it is one thing but publicly expressing it is another.

 

[h2p_5150]

Pickens has been whining all game. It's OK to be frustrated but being this much of a headache year 1 is a bad sign

 

[deepelemblues]

THIRTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS

Just like Pickett has to accept that Pickens is a rookie and is learning when he doesn't run the route properly, Pickens needs to understand that about Pickett. He needs to learn to not be an ahole teammate on national tv.

THIRTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS

Who gets that much?
