I am completely ok with being patient with the OL. Everyone is a new starter and two rookies. I am quite excited about Green and Moore. Kudos to Colbert for finding them in round 3 and 4. I live in Chicago and Tevin Jenkins has yet to see the field due to back issues which he had in college.
I am still down on Ben in that he doesn’t have the zip on the ball that he did before. However … I will always root for the Steelers and if this defense can play lights out and Ben avoids throwing INTs - we have a shot. A limp Peyton Manning and even Trent Dilfer have won Super Bowls. Cmon Ben - play smart and run this offense and avoid dumb plays and give us a shot.
A running game will be the best thing that ever happened to Ben.
Agreed. But one thing struck me as the Steelers threw a couple WR screens in the game....the O linemen on the team are very athletic and can get out to block in space. A quick WR screen with linemen pulling into space can soften up coverages, so there is more space to run and vise versa. Friermuth and Ebron stretching the seams vertically can also help. I think the offense has a lot of options and it will just take a bit of time for the group to settle into Canada's scheme.
I can't wait for a game where Najee Harris can find some daylight. He looks like he's got that explosiveness that Bell never had
I feel bad for AV. He played his heart out for us and he will for the Ravens as well. That is his mojo always. It’s that his body just can’t keep up with his heart.
that is pure gold. I love your thought. Maybe AV is being loyal to the Steelers after all in a secret covert op way as he was an army ranger. He has infiltrated the enemy and expunged their monetary resources and is secretly poisoning them from the inside out. Love it! AV - black and gold all the way!
Last week was scary- our center being pushed back 3-4 yards off the line on short yardage situation is scary. How does one fix that?
