The Gipper Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 11 hours ago, steelersfan412 said: The Ravens still have a decent OL which won't be abused so easily. Luckily for us Steelers fans, Jackson really doesn't seem to be the best pocket passer, and shouldn't be too much of a threat given he will be facing a tougher secondary. True though, the odds of Pitt making the postseason are long. But the season is young, and none of us know what the future holds. Most QBs benefit from not being touched. Roethlisberger stands out as an anomaly in that category, he just has some weird knack for making things happen with linebackers hanging off his shoulders. Rudolph is no Big Ben.... he needs that OL to not let anything through. Mayfield also is no Big Ben. But we've seen what he can do with a little time to look down field and find the WR talent he's been offered. Who has Dorsey in their contacts list? Someone make the call and tell him to get a decent LT! Key for the Ravens: get a lead and hold it. That way Jackson can be more of a weapon with his legs than he can be with his arm. Key for the Steelers: get a lead....that way you can negate Jackson's running and make him throw to try to catch up. You saw what happened vs. the Browns. They got one fluke TD at the end of the game...on a short pass/long run....when the game was already decided. Don't let the game be close near the end. (and, yea, I know that is kind of "Captain Obvious".....I am just saying that with a lead, Jackson's doing damage with runs is negated) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why? Well, actually, I suspect I know why....the Bengals sucked and they got no ratings for their games. Same reason WHIO in Dayton dropped the Browns after 1-15 and 0-16. Advertisers weren't willing to pay money for time on a broadcast if almost no one was listening..... And I find it unbelievable after 10+ years we have a radio station in Dayton that still broadcasts every Dayton Dragons low Class A baseball games. You probably know I'm no great fan of baseball in general, but who in their right mind wants to listen to some virtually meaningless minor leage ball?

He's also been very good in his first two games. They were never going to draft a qb and left tackles worth first round picks are coming off the board in the first three picks. The Steelers aren't drafting that high. Your Ben comment is also fucking ridiculous. Lol I think Vag is right here....about Fitzpatrick. Getting Minkah for what you gave up was a good deal. And he is young and should be good going into the future. But, I think the other guy may be right about BR. His days are behind him and the Steelers should do what the Giants did with Eli......let him out to pasture. I would be surprised if he came back as his old self next year.

Ben talked retirement in an effort to force Todd Haley out. It worked, Todd is gone. If Ben wanted to retire why in the hell did he sign the extension that he did? Why did he opt to not have Tommy John? Why didn't he just retire when he went out for the whole season? He went a different route surgery wise so he could be back for the whole season next year. Tommy John would have put him out into next season. Ben isn't going anywhere and even if he did Rudolph at minimum will be a stop gap but I think he becomes the next one when that time comes. Well...BR is not stupid. He knows that if he retires he does not get paid. Sure, he signed an extension for a lot of money. He wants that money. No one blames him for that. And FYI....it may be possible that his injured elbow is not back well enough to play next year....or he may even be more susceptible to a continuing injury situation...and he would miss all or most of next year anyway. Remains to be seen. He would be 38 next year, and with frayed elbow ligaments. Questionable chances....not impossible, but perhaps not probable. But hang in there for the cash.

No first rounder, have their own second, and get this- Vag is thinking Pittsburgh- missing their third round pick, is going to get a comp third back for losing Le'veon Bell. Not so fast my friend- it's complicated, but because a (recently cut) player on another team is part of the way those picks get handed out- they just might lose it. Oh, they have two picks in both the 4th and 5th rounds. Vag is dreaming they're going to pull another Antonio Brown or two out of those selections, but I wouldn't count on it.

Even at that Rudolph has to check down to the RB every pass. Hope Wilks lets the blitz run loose on both these teams. Just cinci being cinci? http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/story.cfm/story/1983897 0-4 Bengals look awfully familiar in Pittsburgh drubbing October 1, 2019By The Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) Well, that was awfully familiar. The Bengals went to Pittsburgh and got manhandled Monday night, a sight that had fans recalling all those bad moments in their lopsided Ohio River rivalry. Andy Dalton got sacked a career-high eight times - he barely had time to retreat from center on some plays - and the defense couldn't stop a pared-down passing game in Pittsburgh's 27-3 victory. For the 0-4 Bengals, it's bad enough that September has come and gone without a win. The way they lost their latest one, however, eliminated any thoughts of an about-face under first year coach Zac Taylor. ''It was just awful overall,'' receiver Tyler Boyd said. And in the worst possible setting - a prime-time stage. The Bengals fell to 6-16 in prime-time games since 2011, when Dalton was a rookie, including 2-6 on Monday night. They've now lost nine in a row and 12 of 13 against the Steelers, including that 18-16 playoff meltdown at Paul Brown Stadium that ended their 2015 season - their last one with a winning record. The sight of Dalton getting swamped in the backfield was reminiscent of David Klingler getting sacked 10 times by the Steelers in 1992. Dalton was 21 of 37 for 171 yards with an interception in the end zone , a fumble on a sack, and 69 yards lost on those eight sacks. For perspective, the Bengals rushed for only 73 yards. ''We've got to figure out who we are,'' Dalton said............. CONTINUED IN LINK........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are never right about anything, literally. You aren’t going to start being right now. Sure, you are right. I am completely wrong about the Steelers needing defensive backfield help and that is the reason they traded for Fitzpatrick. They made a trade for a defensive back because they liked their young QB.

I mean any team believes in their guy sure, but it's probably just as much looking at the bigger picture. The Steelers have enough talent to not be a top 3 team in the draft (the dolphins aren't going to let the #1 pick sneak between their fingers either). Tua is the top prize this year and Herbert is probably gonna be a top 10 pick, realistically. I can understand this being a "lost" season, see what you have with Mason and from there see how much gas Ben has in the tank. I'm quite sure Ben isn't the type of dude to leave on an injury. If he sucks it up/isn't the same, the shiny prize of Trevor Lawerence may bring the tank to Heinz field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
