Steelers football is finally back! Let's have a good first pre-season outing and no injuries :pray:

[st33lersguy]

Hopefully the miraculous happens and no Steeler player gets injured. Dying to see what Jarvis and Le'Veon can do

Please no injuries... Please, please, please.

Sadly I will not be able to watch the game...Unless someone has a way to watch it on your phone...otherwise I'll be relying on the Steelers gameday app and/or the ESPN scorecenter app.

[steeldawg]

I want to get a look at this new defense with more emphasis on the pass rush.

I'm almost positive the game is on the NFL Network so I may have just answered my own problem and I should be able to watch the game on my phone. Woo hoo!

Yep on nfl network

If anyone can't watch it, PM me for my Preseason Pass info and you can watch it live. No promises of quality though.

And a big thanks to Shoes for purchasing it for me!!!!

Hey your quality sucks on the preseason pass too? I tried to adjust the resolution slider but it seems to only be available at one resolution.

[Chidi29]

Hey your quality sucks on the preseason pass too? I tried to adjust the resolution slider but it seems to only be available at one resolution.

It bounces back and forth for me and it doesn't let me use the slider. I'll get a few moments of HD then back to it being shot via calculator. I don't need 1080, but even SD seems to be asking too much. And that was me late last night watching replays. Not even during a time of heavy traffic.

I'm thinking the same thing. No idea? We will see I guess.

Obviously tweaked something within the last day.

Glad I didn't spend the $20 dollars on it this year. Sounds like nothing has improved with it.

[Chidi29]

Oh well. Better to have him healthy for the next three games/regular season than to push him now. If he really is the real deal, it'll be just a bump in the road.

So much for getting our answers tonight haha.

[Nadroj 20]

Yeah better just sit him. No big deal. He will be alright.

Moore, Dunn first team KR. Dwyer, Johnson first team wedge

[Polamalu Princess]

Let's go Steelers!!!

- - - Updated - - -

Nice.

[Chidi29]

Power O there. Foster, Paulson pulled.

[steelerdude15]

Hello everyone, its nice to be back in a game day thread.

[steeldawg]

I like the use of will johnson out of the backfield there.

- - - Updated - - -

howling getting a lot of work

- - - Updated - - -

wow well not a great drive

[Chidi29]

Ugly. Adams got walked into the pocket. Foster got beat too, I think.

[Polamalu Princess]

There you go...the thing I hate the most...Ben getting sacked.

[Chidi29]

Wheaton, Golden first team gunners.

[steelerdude15]

Ugly. Adams got walked into the pocket. Foster got beat too, I think.

Yeah, Foster was beat pretty bad.

[SteelMayhem72]

geez...terrible O line...look slow and outta shape!

[Polamalu Princess]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!

[steeldawg]

well looking undisciplined as we did last year.

[SteelMayhem72]

blocked punt...terrible!!

[Chidi29]

Scratch that. Golden upback. Thomas at gunner.

[steelerdude15]

Well... we can expect some hiccups with a new special teams coach. Looks like someone whiffed on their block.

[polamalubeast]

ST and running game sucks again

[steelerdude15]

I didn't like how Ziggy was being pushed back by a running back much smaller than him.

[steeldawg]

Defense very sharp

[polamalubeast]

good job D

[steelerdude15]

Good job by Ike and good job by the starting D to stop them from getting a touchdown.

[Chidi29]

Howling getting a lot of work. Dwyer hasn't seen the field on offense.

[Polamalu Princess]

Nice play.

[Chidi29]

Good down block by Paulson.

[HollywoodSteel]

What a cock stepping in front of Dunn. I want to see the speedster try.

[Boh]

Howling can cut!

[steelerdude15]

LSH is having a good game so far.

[Polamalu Princess]

LSH is having a good game so far.

Yes he is having a good game. I am enjoying watching him.

[HollywoodSteel]

I want to see a first down pass.

- - - Updated - - -

Jesus Dwyer.

[steelerdude15]

I wonder if being back in Pittsburgh is motivating LSH.

[Chidi29]

I wonder if being back in Pittsburgh is motivating LSH.

Fighting for a job is probably motivating him more.

[steelerdude15]

I like how Manny fought after he was contacted.

[HollywoodSteel]

Fighting for a job is probably motivating him more.

Maybe Dwyer should feel a little motivation. How do drop a 2 yard pass like that.

[steeldawg]

ah nice catch gotta those feet down

[HollywoodSteel]

Gotta get that foot down Brown

[SteelMayhem72]

is it me or does it seem ben is throwing a slight side arm??

[HollywoodSteel]

Great, we're in mid season clock management form.

- - - Updated - - -

Smarter than using your final TO.

The Giants were very disciplined.

Anyone remember Kent Tekulve?

I know about Teke!

[ALLD]

"The Rake"

He and "The Flying Dutchman" are why we won the Series in '79.

[SteelMayhem72]

I remember kent...almost skin his knuckles on top of the ground

[Polamalu Princess]

3-3 here we go.

[zulater]

I'd rather not convert the 4th and 1 than try for a chip shot fg in that situation. What exactly did you prove?

[Chidi29]

Nice play by McClendon. Disrupted that run

[Polamalu Princess]

My man Troy. I know his time may be up soon, but I sure would like to see him have a great year.

[steeldawg]

Clark big time whiff

[Chidi29]

Stupid KDKA graphic had Van Dyke listed as a starter tonight. HA!

[SteelMayhem72]

i cringe every play our 1st string is out there

[Polamalu Princess]

Crap.

[Boh]

was just a great pass

[steeldawg]

good ole William gay! welcome back I hope you like salsa!

[polamalubeast]

ouch

[SteelMayhem72]

lot of work to be done!

[smokin3000gt]

man.. I'm holding my breath every time I see Troy make a play!

[ALLD]

Did Billy Gay get exploited again ? I don't have the game.

[fansince'76]

lot of work to be done!

Yep. In all phases.

[SteelMayhem72]

man.. I'm holding my breath every time I see Troy make a play!
Same here

[zulater]

Oh well, their 1's beat our 1's.

[polamalubeast]

If Clark would not have missed the tackle, it would still be 3-3

[Chidi29]

Edmund, it is not a zone blocking play when the backside guard and TE pull!

[SteelMayhem72]

Cant wait till we get Heath back!!

[polamalubeast]

great catch!

[zulater]

Wheaton showed better sideline presense than Antonio Brown did.

[SteelMayhem72]

almost great catch

[polamalubeast]

The pass will be incomplete

[steeldawg]

like to see him hold on to that but I like the foot work

[Chidi29]

Good pass blocking by Adams. Really fired out of his stance well and a strong punch.

[polamalubeast]

Cut Dwyer!

[Chidi29]

Friendly fire by Wheaton on Slyvester.

[steeldawg]

ohhhh golden make that play

[polamalubeast]

Terrible pass by Carr

[steelerdude15]

Good job by Jarvis!

[polamalubeast]

Jones!

[steeldawg]

I like it jones around the ball

[Chidi29]

Steelers first team OL still in sans Pouncey.

[polamalubeast]

another TO....unacceptable

[steeldawg]

wow what a catch

[Chidi29]

Sly's return is doubtful.

- - - Updated - - -

Get upfield Dwyer! No dancing.

[Polamalu Princess]

Perfect!!!!

[Chidi29]

Remember Steelers lacking a ton of depth along the OL. Probable reason why the starters have been in so long. Plus new blocking scheme/coach. More evaluation to be done.

[polamalubeast]

I'm not worried about the defense, even if they gave a long TD

But I'm worried about the offense and ST

[Chidi29]

Jamie McCoy not dressed per Kaboly.

[Nadroj 20]

That's what we like to see!

[Chidi29]

Welcome to the league, Reggie Dunn.

[steeldawg]

somebody block somebody dunn about got killed

[polamalubeast]

Our ST are bad

[Chidi29]

Second team oline in. Whimper, Hubbard, Malecki, Cheadle, Beachum

[Polamalu Princess]

Nice Gradkowski. He can run.

[Chidi29]

Guy Whimper opens the gate way too much off the snap.

[Polamalu Princess]

Not really happy with Dwyer tonight.

[Chidi29]

More Power O from Pittsburgh. Paulson pulling a ton tonight.

[Bluecoat96]

Thank god for a backup QB that isn't slower than hell!

[Chidi29]

Not really happy with Dwyer tonight.

Pecking order is clear. Once Red and LSH went out, they were done for the day. Assuming Bell is ahead, puts Dwyer at #4 at best.

[steeldawg]

ya can see why dwyer is manning the wedge and playing behind redman and howling

[polamalubeast]

Not really happy with Dwyer tonight.

He will be cut!

[steeldawg]

gradkowski not a great deep ball lol

[polamalubeast]

gradkowski not a great deep ball lol

expect vs us in 2009

[Chidi29]

Soft zone with only a four man rush. Easy for vet like Carr.

- - - Updated - - -

Has Cotchery played tonight?

[SteelMayhem72]

Can you believe before the game that warren sapp said without wallace we dont have any speed at receiver...what a moron!! He obviously dont like the steelers are study them

[polamalubeast]

Michael Irvin...not sapp

[Nadroj 20]

Worilds trying to get cut?

[Chidi29]

Vince Williams looked really good that series. As advertised. Hard hitter.

[polamalubeast]

Worilds trying to get cut?

yes

- - - Updated - - -

Jarvis Jones will win this job by default

[steeldawg]

Jarvis jones getting pushed around a little out there I thought he would cause more havoc against the backups.

Michael Irvin...not sapp
Your right I believe it was irving...equally a moron

yes

I agree...jarvis jones is gonna be the real deal I promise you!!

Im very happy with our backup QB's this year...I knew gradkowski would be a good pick up as back up QB...also landry jones im interested in seeing!

- - - Updated - - -

They make a big deal about bell's knee...its precautionary. He will be playing next weekend guaranteed!! Sapp and Irving dont know shit!!

[Nadroj 20]

Will we see Landry at the beginning of the 3rd? Or Wilson.

[Chidi29]

I think iot will be wilson

[SteelMayhem72]

im gonna say jones

[Polamalu Princess]

Here we go. I am looking forward to see Baron Batch play.

[SteelMayhem72]

Damn...what a hit

[polamalubeast]

curtis painter....

- - - Updated - - -

fine!

[SteelMayhem72]

painter must love the mannings...play behind both of them

[Chidi29]

They're running Painter over Nassib.

[Polamalu Princess]

That does not look good.

[polamalubeast]

painter must love the mannings...play behind both of them

same for Jim Sorgi

[Chidi29]

Tomlin gunna go all Al Elverest on Danny Smith

[Nadroj 20]

Sounds like Landry Jones.

[polamalubeast]

Tomlin gunna go all Al Elverest on Danny Smith

hahaha!

[Chidi29]

You were right. Jones it is

- - - Updated - - -

.......And safety

[Nadroj 20]

Oh my goodness lol

[SteelMayhem72]

wtf??? that was awful

[Nadroj 20]

Someone just tell that kid to relax. He has the ability but he looks scared out of his mind!

[polamalubeast]

worst pre-season game since vs Denver in 2010

[steeldawg]

that was nice

[SteelMayhem72]

Well so much for me wanting to see Landry Jones...not a way to start

[Chidi29]

Gravity: 1
Landry Jones: 0

[Bluecoat96]

Uh...whoops. Safety.

[SteelMayhem72]

Tomlin gonna unleash hell in August

[Nadroj 20]

Maybe one day when Jones is successful we can all say remember his first snap as a rookie? :chuckle:

[polamalubeast]

best play on the ST tonight

[steeldawg]

I think baron batch gets a sack on that?

[Nadroj 20]

Got the hand off right that time!

[Chidi29]

LeBeau not gong vanilla. Fire stunt. ILBs cross, Carter looped around.

- - - Updated - - -

ST could not be worse tonight.

[steeldawg]

we are sloppy

[SteelMayhem72]

Gilreath=cut!

[Nadroj 20]

Gilreath, catch it first bud.

[polamalubeast]

fire Danny Smith!

[SteelMayhem72]

Special teams=pitiful!

[86WARD]

Horrible ST...good Lord...

[Nadroj 20]

Missed field goal! Credit Danny Smith :lol:

[Polamalu Princess]

No Good!!!!!!

[86WARD]

NIce play by Brown

[fansince'76]

I haven't seen whole hell of a lot to feel good about tonight.

[steeldawg]

I haven't seen whole hell of a lot to feel good about tonight.

I agree not real excited.

[86WARD]

Kiesel's beard is nothing short of awesome!

[Chidi29]

Brian Rolle really having a good game. Looks fluid in coverage.

[86WARD]

I haven't seen whole hell of a lot to feel good about tonight.

Wheaton has been good. Stephens-Howling looked good and the #1 O-Line looked okay. You know...for a first preseason game...

[steeldawg]

Yes wheaton did look good except taking out Sylvester, and howling was good.

[Nadroj 20]

That's a big time play from Jarvis.

[Chidi29]

D'Anthony Batiste replaces Whimper at LT

[SteelMayhem72]

Im not worried too much about tonight...just gotta work harder...

Not as many as I thought. I felt like I keep hearing Penn State though.

[Nadroj 20]

Two if you count Justin Brown

Yeah, I thought there was 3 counting him but I was mistaken.

[Polamalu Princess]

YES!!!!! Love it!!!!

[fansince'76]

terrible punt

Moorman = Gardocki. (He used to have a leg...once)

[Bluecoat96]

Nice.

[polamalubeast]

only 15-13

[tube517]

Recovered botched punt should've been called back. Steelers don't score on special teams. :chuckle:

[fansince'76]

No doubt. Was sure there would be a flag for another dipshit move on someone's part.

[Bluecoat96]

I'll be the first to say that I know jack squat about football compared to guys like Chidi, but it seems like there is some decent depth in the defense this year.

[Chidi29]

Mike Golic steamrolled on the XP

[fansince'76]

Mike Golic steamrolled on the XP

He's definitely Steelers OL material, then...

[Chidi29]

Good push from Ta'amu. Ran center back five yards. Ryan Steed at CB

[86WARD]

Al Woods is dominating these back ups and third stringers...lol

[jb500ex]

Jarvis jones getting pushed around a little out there I thought he would cause more havoc against the backups.
He does that against our 3 rd teamers

[Chidi29]

Dear starting lineman and Kelvin Beachum,

Please do not get hurt.

Yours,
Chidi

- - - Updated - - -

Look at Ta'amu drive, get his arms extended. Wow. That's why we drafted him.

[Chidi29]

ILBs are looking good. Garvin with deflection to get us off the field. Been impressed with him, Rolle, Wilson.

- - - Updated - - -

JD Woods blowing through Gilreath's stop sign.

Mike Farrell on kick returns.

[Polamalu Princess]

Two nice plays in a row.

[Chidi29]

Nice try by Wilson. Good concentration.

[Polamalu Princess]

Three nice plays in a row. He has it.

[Chidi29]

Oh D'Anthony Batiste getting burned. Shocked...

- - - Updated - - -

#5 WR spot is wide open with Burress down. Woods trying to capitalize. Kick return aside, he has.

[Chidi29]

Batiste makes me want to throw up.

[Polamalu Princess]

Okay. It was just the first pre-game. It is all okay.

[st33lersguy]

The offense needs some work, a lot of back-up defenders showed promise, the special teams picked up right where they left off last year.

[Nadroj 20]

Forget me bringing up Gilreath in the Burress thread. I think he is at the bottom after tonights game.

[Chidi29]

Forget me bringing up Gilreath in the Burress thread. I think he is at the bottom after tonights game.

Yup. Not looking good.

[st33lersguy]

The back-up o-line needs serious work. I was however impressed with the run blocking of the starting O-line. With run-blocking like that Le'Veon Bell should do fine. LaRod Stephens Howling was also impressive, he deserves some carries. However with his 5'7 180 lb frame, that won't hold up for an entire year, putting him for a series or two a game seems ideal.

[fansince'76]

Gilreath: It's...your future...I see a...a car wash!

http://www.thebetterwash.com/images/CarWashEntry.jpg

[fansince'76]

Wheaton has been good. Stephens-Howling looked good and the #1 O-Line looked okay. You know...for a first preseason game...

On second thought, I thought the first team D did a good job of sacking up and only allowing 3 after the first ST gaffe (among many) of the evening. That would have almost been a sure TD for the Giants last year.

[KeiselPower99]

Well the lack of depth on the O line showed tonight. LASH looked damn good and cant wait to see more of him. Was anyone else surprised with the number of carries Dwyer got? Jd Woods and Al Woods made splash plays and what about Ta Amu?? He looked very impressive. One other item I wanna see Wilson before Jones next week. I think he could be our best bet at third qb.

[Chidi29]

Only 219 replies tonight. Well over 600 for last years' first game. :huh:

Side note. We were all praising Woods great play in last year's game, too.

[fansince'76]

Only 219 replies tonight. Well over 600 for last years' first game. :huh:

Steelpride12 has been MIA for a while now. He was usually good for 150+ posts alone in every gameday thread. :chuckle:

I have also seriously curtailed my gameday thread posting from seasons past. For example, including this post, I have 10 posts in this thread. I had 42 in the first preseason gameday thread last year.

[Chidi29]

Well you gotta change that for next week! :chuckle:

[Chidi29]

Ya I couldn't even watch it, it was givining me a headache.

Will say that tonight watching the game was much better. Getting near HD the whole time and frames were smooth. But I doubt as many people were on since we were the only game...

[Nadroj 20]

I probably replied more in tonights thread because it was a preseason game. Actually meant to be here more but got side tracked with something else.

Once the regular season starts I see myself here before, at halftime, and after, but during games I'm too focused on the game most of the time anyway.

[ALLD]

I don't have the NFL Network and didn't feel like going out to watch the game, otherwise I would be wisecracking it up.

From what I have been reading, the best way to improve STs would be to find a kicker who can make touchbacks every time.

[Chidi29]

Hey your quality sucks on the preseason pass too? I tried to adjust the resolution slider but it seems to only be available at one resolution.

I might have figured something out. Or I'm stupid and the last one to realize this.

But if you click the slider and uncheck "Best Available" you can move it around to whatever you like. And it stayed in high quality the rest of the game.

[steeldawg]

oh well apparently that would make me the last one to know about this, I will give it a shot.

[Chidi29]

Yeah, it's working pretty well for me right now. Sometimes the feed does get choppy and I have to bump it down but much, much better than it is was before.
