Steelers Place James Conner Into Concussion Protocol

[Jpripper88]

I'm here.....I don't even remember what your post was to which I responded...that was at least a couple of weeks ago. My response to your questions seems to be something that is keeping you up at night...why?

what I vaguely remember is your defending a run heavy game plan by the Steelers which worked Bell to death and produced few points and my point, as I recall, was that run heavy O's are not in vogue...evidently Tomlin agrees with me given his game plan against Jacksonville. When your QB stinks, however, it makes little difference what the run to pass ratio is.

Hahahaha. I bet you do remember it that way. You said "What other team in the league other than the Steelers is running a 1970's run first offense? The answer is none!!!" and "Conner should get 10 carries a game" and " Very few teams run the ball like the Steelers, clueless, and few have a backup RB as good as Conner."

I repeated the questions:

Very few teams run like the Steelers? In terms of what? Attempts? Percentages? Explain your rationale for calling someone, else, clueless.

Where would you rank James Conner among NFL RBs? What about among backup RBs?

The Steelers do not have a run heavy approach. You don't have a freaking clue what you are talking about, but you called other people clueless and then ran and hid when you were proven a fool and couldn't backup your statements. The Steelers run the ball at a percentage lower than average. The last 4 years they are 22nd, 20th, 13th, and 23rd in run percentage. Only two of the teams who run the ball less this year are decent teams.

Enough bickering, you hate each other we get it.

Back to James Conner. They played a fantastic video about his rise to the pros and his cancer battle in the 3rd quarter. His mother professed he love for Pitt, especially how they took care of her son health-wise. It was very nice.

Oh, and all of the kids sitting around me were super excited about their Conner bobble heads.

It's time to honor James properly by retiring his number 24. He is a Pitt legend.

Has James gotten any snaps today yet? I just turned the game on 5 minutes left in 2nd quarter.

A couple decent runs. Bell looks literally unstoppable today.

I just saw bell has 100+ already. Amazing.

 

[BFo8]

Steelers absolutely mauling the Chiefs but only up by 9. You can feel it coming unfortunately.

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Very Nice run. Lets hope they keep running it down their throats in the 2nd half. They have 2 horses.

I just told Mrs Buffett we're beating the "cr-p " out of the Chiefs but I feel a 4th qtr loss??
We should be up by a lot!

 

[BuffetParrothead]

Conner isn't down for the struggle like Tomlin and the rest of them so he doesn't fit in!
Move James to a team with a coach and team who has a better outlook!

What do you mean by this?

Not an answer.

Is that because James is Bi-racial? What are you getting at?

Moving back to football, Bell and Brown both with horrible plays to miss out on easy first downs.

Thank you.

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Happy Steelers Sunday everyone.

James has a nice 5 yard carry up the gut.

This looks like it is going to be a very fun game today. Ben seems to be on point finally. I hate the Bengals.

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Evidently the pushups that JuJu and Conner were doing after the touchdown where to honor a soldier.

 

[Pittfan85]

4th and 1 and you bring in Watson?

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

F Watson. Conner would've gotten that needed yard with ease.

Why oh why is Watson counted on in these situations?

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

That's what Tomlin gets for not using Conner! F him.

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Conner would've gotten that first down and helped ice this game. Unbelievable! James was the 3rd round pick. What the F are they saving him for?

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Todd Haley single handily making this game closer than it should be

 

[BFo8]

Playing to lose here on offense. Way too many FG’s, continued inability to convert on 3rd and short, and just some questionable play calling overall.

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Yet another 3rd and 1 and Watson is back in. They are scared to give him the rock, so they throw it deep. Tomlin is a dunce. Conner is standing right beside him on the sideline. The man is a walking 3rd and 1 conversion machine. Tomlin is letting that Bungles hang in this game. Stupid!

 

[BFo8]

At least leave Bell in there on 3rd and short if you’re not going to use Conner.

 

[LeftCoastPanther]

No Conner, but why the hell has Nix been out of the game on all these short-yardage third downs in the second half?

Baffling.

 

[Jakey_John]

Must be saving him for the 5th quarter. Although I’m not complaining about this defense.

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Our pass rush is thankfully bailing Tomlin and Haley out today. Very impressive pressure.

 

[Jakey_John]

That drive went -24 yds.

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Nantz calls Watson the "short yardage specialist". Tell me another freakin joke, funnyman.

 

[Jakey_John]

That pass was perfect.

 

[BFo8]

Game may get dirty here in the last few minutes.

 

[LeftCoastPanther]

Not scoring here to get to 33 points would be disappointing.

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Whomever is in charge of Emmy's need to mail Tony Romo his right now. He is a fantastic color man. His insight into the intricacies of the game is unparalleled. Absolutely fantastic .

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Just abysmal offensive play calling

 

[Jakey_John]

Steelers should sign him as the bridge year qb when Ben retires.

 

[LeftCoastPanther]

Defense has been awesome in the second half. Sweet, let's get a sixth field goal.

He really is good. First couple weeks he talked too much and at the wrong time, but he keeps getting better and better.

Conner kicking ass with the 10 yard run! See Tomlin!
