Ahhh shit we can't let Lions get their first win of the season against us, Rudolph better step up.

Placed on the COVID list. He said he’s vaccinated so should return for the Chargers loss…I mean game.

Well those wanting Rudolph…let’s see the difference…

Just get the “W”…

No Ben + no Claypool = Lions get win #1

Yep, one more chance to see if he can be the future bridge QB or career backup. Let's go

has to have a good game to keep the Steelers from drafting Ben’s replacement in 22. A so so game won’t cut it.

I think we will win the game. Whether he will win the game for us or he will not lose the game is to be seen

Ben probably just has the sniffles. He’s being a drama queen. :)

Wonder if the offense play calling looks different or if they didn't have time to do a different install.

I imagine it’s the same basic offense, with maybe a couple of things removed or added in depending on Mason’s comfort level.

COVID SCREENER: Ben, who were your close contacts?

BEN: Ebron

SCREENER: He wasn’t even at practice…

BEN: Ebron has COVID.

SCREENER: Well, we tested him to be sure…

BEN: Ebron has Ebola.

curious if they will throw it downfield more.

Interesting. It would have been nice if Mason had some time with the ones this week. Nevertheless, I’m intrigued to watch tomorrow.

Because of Ben’s shoulder, Mason ran with the first team on both Wednesday and Thursday.

couldn’t come at a better time against winless Lions. QB controversy after this game. Steelers have highest scoring game this year.

Rudolph threw for over 300 yards in his last regular season start. Outplayed mayfield. He should do well tomorrow.

that being said, if he starts shitting the bed Tomlin shouldn’t hesitate to pull him and put in Haskins. No tenure privileges among backups.

I doubt it will change much. I read somewhere that the Steelers should seek Jalen Hurts in the off season. When I looked at some highlights it seemed to me that the play calling looks like the steelers. I mean sure Hurts is more mobile and has a stronger, better arm, but the play calling doesn't look much different. I don't watch other games but really wonder how much different our play calling is from other teams?

I expect he will do well and if he doesn't the pitchforks will be at the ready.

I THINK the Hurts idea is that he dovetails into Canada's motion concepts "better". QB now moves as well. But Hurts isn't a great passer. Or at least not yet.

Well if that is so, lets drop the Hurts idea. :chuckle:

This game will definitely determine where the Steelers go at QB in 2022.

Colbert saw the Pickett/Howell matchup a few days ago. This is likely Mason's last shot to prove himself.

Shouldn’t make a difference. Mason practiced all week with first team.

No thanks. I’ve watched Hurts. He’s a mobile inaccuracy factory.

Looks like rain and snow in Pittsburgh come game time. At least that's what it looks like from this side of the pond. Mason is going to have a good game!
