Heroes/Goats vs. Ravens

[Hawkman]

Heroes

Everyone wearing a black and gold jersey or coaching for them. This was the most complete game I have seen this team play in I don't know how many years. Throw out the stats and the low score. This is a Ravens-Steelers game, and we came to play.

Goat

My wife. I'm watching the game about ten real minutes behind. The Steelers just gave up the big return, and my wife says, "I just saw the score jump! I can't believe they just might do it!" Sigh. Well, my cardiologist sure appreciates her timing, at least.

Edit:
Grudging Respect to the Ravens player who yanked Heyward back on top of him, which ended in a penalty against the Steelers and a TD for the Ravens. Well played, Raven's player. Well played.

Devin Bush played 5 of 52 defensive snaps.

Pretty safe to assume he’s a goner. Mark Robinson did more in the first 5 plays than Bush did all season…

[Hawkman]

Heroes: Kenny, Najee/TJ, O-line and the defense as a whole.
Goats are the fans who wanted the Steelers to lose the last 3-4 games to get a better pick.

Yep! High draft picks are over rated……..at least for us.

Hand-size is overrated.

What they need to measure is the size of players’ balls.

Agreed. Robinson is a player. If i was the coach Bush wouldn't see another snap, he's a liability.

Ball: Pickett, Spillane, Minka

Goat: The refs

Bad call on Cam almost cost us the game. Ravens we’re gifted that TD

[El-Gonzo Jackson]

But but but Kenny has tiny hands! He can't play in the cold and win against the AFC north! Oh wait

Yup, I guess Malik Willis should have been the pick.

[polamalubeast]

No way TJ is at 100% and our schedule was more easier in the second half of the season,but the impact of Watt is still very big even if he is not at his best!

[tube517]

Absolutely. Sims has been getting better as a receiver.....but that throw by Kenny was unbelievable.

We have come to expect that from Kenny. He will smile in the face of adversity. We embrace that.

That shows more tackles than what the stat sheet said. Lol.

[NCSteeler]

Nahjees foot, it seems finally healed the last few weeks . He's planting hard, driving hard earning yards.

Kenny, getting better every week.

The antithesis of how they counted Ray Lewis’ tackles…

Najee has not only been planting hard and driving his legs In service of his own runs, but let’s not forget that he grabbed Pickett and helped drive him forward for the first down on a QB sneak. You gotta love the kid. He always strives to do whatever it takes to help us win.

In regards to KP's hand size, the main concern is ball security, not the ability to pass the ball. Well, as much as "maintaining control while being hacked at while passing".

I did some reading and apparently he's at 8.6", Michael Vick had 8.5" and he was able to sling it pretty well in terms of throwing.
Accuracy is another issue altogether.

In '89 while in the service, I was on a team that presented colors at the Quarter Backs Club in the DC are where I met a number of QBs, one of which was Marino. I shook hands with him and remember his hands being small and weak, he was able to pass the ball pretty well. I'm a little over 6'5".

I think too many people in NFL are too hung up on the classic measurements and therfore pass on players who can make it in the NFL. Look at Brock Purday for SF, he was passed up probably b/c he can lead the lollipop guild, but he seems to be doing well. Jury still out on him, but my point is that many viable players are passed on due to faulty assumptions based on physical traits.

Good comparison with Marino. His hands were only 9" - small for a QB. KP's are 8.625", so not a lot of difference. I haven't seen any ball security issues from Pickett this year that concern me.

Ball security is more about how he holds the ball, not so much hand size. I don't care how big your hands are, if a 260 lb edge rusher tomahawk chops that ball and you don't have it tucked, i don't care if you have 20" hands, you're dropping it

Tomlin for keeping everyone "composed"

Nobody go Frank The Tank on me is one of his greatest lines of all-time…

"Frank the Tank?" That was that bust Frank Summers' nickname - I wonder if there's a deeper meaning here...

If you haven’t seen old School, you need to watch it…it’s one of the best comedies out there.

Tomlin is amazing...

Tshirt for that too

No, that's one thing that's great about him. I don't think he's fumbled the ball once has he? Maybe once if I remember correctly? For a rookie that is more than acceptable.

Fumbled twice vs the Eagles. We all like to forget that game
