Fitz should get a rainbow grill and color his beard like tekashi 6ix9ine now that'd be hilarious
We have discussed this point at length on here before but here goes again. The 3 main/most important position groups for any team to succeed long term.
1. OL/DL - Steelers are pretty strong with this group
2. QB - Ben. Strong group.
3. Pass rush - Very lacking.
This is why I see this game needing blitz packages to get and keep pressure on the QB. Perfect team to try some things on too. Their biggest 2 threats for Fitz are deep play guys. Gives us an extra step to get there if needed.
Cleveland just beat the Jets, so if Pittsburgh loses, they will be in last place and the only team in the AFC North without a win. Pressure is on
The Browns always find a way to Brown it up. Like Blocked Field Goals returned for TDs as time expires.
Where/How do you find those stats? Really. I tried Googling it, and couldn’t find anything.
I did find this, which is interesting because it says that we were 5th in hurries in 2017 (I would have guessed much lower).

Injury Report isn’t looking great...
CB Joe Haden (Hamstring) - Full
S Morgan Burnett (Groin) - DNP
C Maurkice Pouncey (Coaches Decision) - Full
G David DeCastro (Hand) - DNP
G Ramon Foster (Knee) - Full
OT Marcus Gilbert (Hamstring) - DNP
DE Stephon Tuitt (Illness) - DNP

Tuitt's gonna play unless he caught ebola or something
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
You know, it starting to feel as though it's going to be one of those years that regardless of what happens, we're not going to do well. Ben might throw for 10 TDs a game, but we'll get enough injuries and penalties to negate it. The defense might become the best defense in the history of the NFL, but then we'll lose half the team to leprosy and the other half to alien abductions.
Derek Anderson went to a Pro Bowl as a Browns QB in 2007. Brian Hoyer (Yes, that Brian Hoyer) looked like the savior in 2014.
The Browns have had their teases before they crashed and burned. Be careful about crowning Baker Mayfield as the next big thing after just one half of football.
Ah the difference a week makes. If the Steelers win in Tampa, all of a sudden a winless team through 2 weeks, sits at 500. This is the beginning of the turnaround. Ben and Brown GO OFF!! Let's go Steelers!
Who would have thought a game in Week 3 would be a must win?
OJ Howard is going to eat this defense alive.
