In the event that Wilson stinks up the joint or is injured, all these moves to improve the roster will also help Kenny Pickett if he needs to play.
There is so much that needs to play out before we can say that this is just a one-year shot.

Less chance for Tomlin games

At some point, they're gonna have to upgrade the offense though. All of the moves (sans Wilson) have benefited the defense. Right now (sans Wilson), the offense is worse than a week ago. I expect them to add some players to offense, but the Steelers tend to think that defense is going to win them a championship, the way they load up their payroll on defense.

It’s tough to win either way. Yes, the offense has to be better and the defense has to stay healthy. We have never been a shoot it out franchise. Play great defense and run the ball. I don’t think that is boring or bad football.

Neither boring nor bad. Just doesn't win Super Bowls when Patrick Mahomes is standing in the way.

Can Kenny get high knees like that? Russ can.

Mahomes just clinched his second straight being mostly pedestrian as the Chiefs Defense was surprisingly dominant.

When the game is on the line, Mahomes is anything but pedestrian. Although, that's what his receivers are.

Re: Russell Wilson is now a Steeler
Listening to Wilson's press conference, he needs to get into politics after he retires. Very slick on the podium.

Yeah he called the leaders, Cam, TJ, and Minkah. Cam politicking for him also may have lead to Kenny becoming a hostage

That's what I was thinking too. When your defensive stars are advocating for someone else, that's got to get to you.

That would be too sweet! TJ has got to be healthy though.

Re: Russell Wilson is now a Steeler
I am not expecting these moves to bring us to the top this season. I do expect this is setting up the Omar Khan plan for this team though. You guys keep screaming we want to play chess, then complain because you can't see the next move coming. This is fun for me and I cannot wait to see what's next. Definitely not a boring offseason this year.

Re: Russell Wilson is now a Steeler
Maybe the players couldn’t discern who was really more at fault; Kenny or Canada. But they saw Kenny back there not making plays. Canada was the invisible man up in the booth. Maybe that’s why he was up there, to hide as he was causing chaos. I would say it’s mostly Canada that’s to blame but it cost Kenny his career in Pittsburgh.

Re: Russell Wilson is now a Steeler
I don’t buy into excuses too much. Real talent and determination will rise to the top regardless of obstacles. Just like I don’t buy that David Carr’s career was ruined by a poor offensive line. I saw lots of poor quarterback play out of Pickett that had nothing to do with the scheme or the play call. He’s not a Steeler anymore. So good luck beating out Jalen Hurts.
