    I agree

    This problem is frustrating but at the same time, it can be easily corrected, especially this defense has been very good in the first and second down so far.

    Good lord, how bad is the Cowboys defense this year? That's off-the-charts (literally) levels of incompetence.

    I just scrolled through dude's recent posts. It is wall to wall worthless takes. Just useless and totally random opinions with nothing behind it. Also, didn't see any attempts at walking this nonsense back.

    It's still early and it could change very quickly but I don't think it's impossible to see the steelers finish close to the record of sacks of the Chicago Bears in 1984 with 72

    The steelers currently have 24 sacks in 5 games and they will have two big tests in their next two games .... If they have a lot in their 2 games, the steelers could threaten that record especially they have the bengals twice and other bad o-line after that!

    Tommy JAGOFF was wrong lol

    edit: whoa Aldon Smith is still in this league? thought the guy got thrown out for being a nutcase lol. For 1.35M I wouldn't have minded taking a flier on him. Too much talent to pass up at that price

    They have almost all pass rushers on the DL. That doesn't work unless you are playing with a big lead.

    The steelers have now 30 sacks after 7 games and the next 3 games are against teams with very bad o-line and his teams give up a lot of sacks...The NFL record is 72 sacks by the 1984 bears......

    Tuitt should get All Pro this year. He's unstoppable right now.

    Terence Steele (RT for Dallas) has given up more sacks, hits, pressures, and hurries than any other lineman in the NFL. He goes up against TJ this week.

    How many sacks, hits, pressures, and hurries will TJ have?

    My guess: 3, 5, 7, 10.

    have we ever had a DE duo this good before? Cam and Tuitt are racking up stats that are unheard of for 3-4 DE's. I was a huge Aaron Smith fan, but I think Heyward is better than him.

    Cam and Tuitt are playing in a different scheme with different responsibilities than Aaron Smith had.

    Smith was literally immovable and dominant against the run. His main responsibility was gap control and eating up blocks to keep the LB's clean so they could run freely to make plays.

    Cam and Tuitt are playing in a scheme where they are allowed to penetrate and rush the passer more than Smith.

    Different roles, but all tremendous players.
