First thing im gonna be looking for....? Which players if any on either team is kneeling during the anthem. I dont think any on our team will but im thinking of going on a campaign for every player in the NFL that does this to be exposed and eventually be blacklisted! How can they being making all this money in this country (the only country they would make that money) and protest anything and not be grateful for having the opportunity is beyond me! I think the NFL needs to get some balls and start doing something about this...i know its basically left up to the owners but I better not see anyone on the steelers side doing this!!! Other than my tirade im excited to see Conner and Bryant get reps!! Lets Go Steelers!!!!!

This is the "starting" Defense by the way.

And Matt Ryan is out, their third stringer is in the game.

I haven't seen a Defensive shitshow like this since that 40+ point abomination against the Bills.

st33lersguy
08-20-2017, 03:35 PM
Obviously the strategy of waiting for them to catch the pass before tackling them ain't working, let's try actually knocking down the pass

Nothing seems to be changing with this defense. Simms is getting whatever he wants.

This defense will be easy work for the Pats.

We're already down 14-0 to them, and the season hasn't even started yet.

Edman

Good News. The Defense held to a field goal.

Bad News. The Offense is back on the field. Time for more uninspired playcalling.

Mojouw
08-20-2017, 03:42 PM
Hardly the starting defense.

Golden
Matekavich
Chickillo
Watt

That takes Mitchell, Dupree, Shazier, and maybe Deebo off the field. That's the primary playmakers.

So far what I see is that Robert Golden can't cover (no surprise). Chickillo still has no real pass rush moves (no surprise here either). The pairing of Matekavich and WIlliams is readily victimized over the middle in the pass game (not a surprise either)

2 times they go at Cockrell. 20 yard gain he let's the guy catch the ball then a tackle w/ safety help. Slant in the end zone gets beat and receiver drops the ball. Yeah he's a top 40 CB. Please! The only thing he is good at is tackling a guy after he catches the ball. How many times to you recall him playing the ball or breaking up a pass????

Mojouw

Dobbs is already better than Landry Jones.

Dobbs has no fear. Landry Jones is a chickenshit.

If there has been anything consistently crappy besides the Defense this preseason, it's been the Offensive line.

Sutton needs to return and hopefully catch on quickly.

Cockrell has to figure it out. He is playing horrible.

Where is Mike Hilton? the trigger to replace Gay needs to happen. He doesn't fit the direction of this defense. (unless there is no direction, just talk)

Yeah. Knile Davis looks okayish on special teams.

Also the success of the special teams is certainly hurting DHB's argument for having to be on the roster.

Watt looks solid in doing basic OLB things - just not much juice in the rush today.

Tuitt is going to have a monster year!

Looking back at the play in the 1st half from the defense, my goodness Golden is horrible.

The "Mike Mitchell isn't good" crowd should simmer down. One of the best players not just on defense, but on the team period.

SteelerFanInStl
08-20-2017, 04:50 PM
Mitchell is good, but not great. The problem is that we don't have anyone else on the roster that's even decent to back him up.

That's a nice hole by the OL for a nice run.

Back-ups and future Home Depot stock clerks all over the field playing vanilla defense.

Golden

Watt (??)

All are not starters. And they played zero gameplan. Straight vanilla with 2nd or 3rd string guys in there.

I mean if you are bound and determined to freak out during a preseason game - at least freak out about things that are actually happening!

Like the fact that Vince Williams was beat like a drum today.
Martavis Bryant looked hella rusty.
Back-up center is not a strength. If Pouncey were to go down for an extended period of time, the interior of the line can be had.
Dobbs looks good and has a # of tools but is not ready to attack and NFL defense and experience consistent success.
Conner might have really questionable hands.
Robert Golden is an auto-completion in primary coverage and seems to be too shallow in his zone drops as well as fairly slow to rotate over. That's a problem.
Cockrell got got today. Is that a one off or a trend?

SteelerFanInStl
08-20-2017, 05:36 PM

Anyone else wondering if there being only one wave of cutdowns during the preseason means that teams make less moves?

Maybe not enough time for a guy to get on that moving train?

You can say that about Landry as well. And he looks more aggressive probably because he is more aggressive leading the offense

About the only thing that 1st half proved (to me, at least) is that we're really screwed when Roethlisberger retires. They're not even gameplanning yet.
