James Conner is the obvious choice
And in general, the steelers did what they was supposed to do after the first quarter except for the WTF moment on the ST in the 3rd quarter which gave a free TD to the Browns
I would not be surprised if Todd Haley is fired tonight or tomorrow .... 10 offensive yards in the second half before the last drive!

James Connor was awesome today.
The pass rush was relentless. They hit Mayfield all game long. The defense played well today.
Bud Dupree had a very good game today with a lot of pressures, a sack, and a forced holding penalty in the end zone for a safety. He gets killed when he doesn't do much. He deserves praise when he plays well.
Didn’t see it.
But Conner’s stats were awesome.
Glad to hear that Bud looked good.
Array title="pepsyman1 has much to be proud of">
I have NO IDEA what got into Dupree today. Was the most effective and aggressive game from him I've seen. He looked like he had some strength for a change. If he played like that regularly you'd believe he was a worthwhile draft pickOriginally Posted by pczach

Game Ball Offense
Conner. Of course.
MacDonald. Of course.
Brown. While he didn't show up big on the stat board today, he had catches at clutch moments that seemed to spark the Steelers.
HM.
Ben. Not because he had a great game, but just the opposite. He seemed to have a mediocre game, but kept it under control and willed the offense down the field a few times, hitting 3rd down passes when necessary, and throwing checkdowns when necessary as well. He had a very good mental game today.
Game Ball Defense
Dupree. First time he's made the list. Let's hope it's not the last time.
Coaching. For the first time this year, it looked like the entire defense was swarming to the ball.
Haden. Nice INT. Almost had a second one.
Gameball, but Stuck on the Horns of a Goat
Special teams. Several times they did a great job getting down there and stopping any kind of runback. They also threw some nice blocks to spring runbacks and the first run back against them was due to holding. However, gotta draw the goat on the ball first because that freekick mistake was about as ugly as it gets.
James Conner first steeler in history to rush for 2 TDs in a game 3 straight weeks in which they also had 100+ yards rushing
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles didn't value him either , now he is a Stain at the Mistake by the Lake 3 teams in 4 years more of a shooting star than a superstar

Conner for sure, Ben and the Oline as well. Def played well, finally have a pass rush today and an INT by Haden. Honestly, the Browns wouldn’t have scored on that ST mess up if the refs wouldn’t have given them so many chances from the 1.

Damn, was hoping for a Bungles loss today

It was almost a perfect day.

I don't think you can completely kill Switzer for that play. Nix is the guy that called for a fair catch and then moved away from the ball. Who knows what teammates were yelling to him.
Maybe nix saw that he wouldn't be able to get it and thought Switzer would get it since switzer was in better position
Game Balls: Conner, AB, and defense
Goat: Switzer, single-handedly kept Cleveland in the game into the 4th
Wasn’t Switzer. Nix threw the fair catch sign up and then let it go. Then no Steelers player went for the ball or went to touch the recovery down. Cleveland should have scored a TD there.
The Goat goes to DANNY SMITH. Once again...his special teams are a disaster and unprepared.
Game Balls: Ben, Brown, Conner on Offense. Defense: Haden, Watt, Heyward and Dupree.

I threw up...
Conner for sure, with an honorable mention to Keith Butler. Way to keep the hammer down! ST gets the goat for not knowing what "free kick" means.

LOL I was livid when that happened. Like the whole team did not understand.
Attention to details, that is one thing the steelers do not do well.
Can the Justin Hunter experiment be over with? Laughable that they sat Washington for JH.
Cut him already and activate Ola to get him on the practice field.
The O-Line and Feiler should get game balls as well.
Never let Munchak go.
Nope. I’d offer him a lifetime contract. No joke.

Tomlin said Tuesday that Burns' play time would be decided in the way that Burns would be good or not in the practice week .....The fact that he did not have a snap today means he was not very good in practice this week!

If they trade Bell, I give Burns away for free. If they don't trade Bell, I'd still give Burns away for free.
I'm not sure if Burns is unable to learn or our secondary coach is unable to teach, but either way it's not doing us or him any good. Dude is a project, not a starter. I don't know if "giving him away" is the right answer... but I don't know that it isn't, either.

LOL - I guess Smith just assumes his players can learn the rules on their own time
But how you can play football since at least high school and not know the rules if you are fielding free kicks is astonishing.
