Need to up that Aiyuk offer
Me too, I thought it was going to be so much better. Nope, wash rinse repeat. Awful again & it won't matter who the QB is.I'm surprised the oline looks so terrible.
Jones and seumalo looked bad.I'm surprised the oline looks so terrible.
Outside a few games last season, Jones has always looked pretty meh to me.. Possibly another 1st round bust.Jones and seumalo looked bad.I'm surprised the oline looks so terrible.
Need to up that Aiyuk offer
Would have liked to see Fields with Pickens, Freiermuth, starting RBs, starting OL. His top pass catchers were Scotty Miller and Conner Heyward.Fields looked pretty good. May need that mobility with this line. Jones looked so bad tonight. But the WRs are not getting open still either.

I thought Russ looks finished as an NFL starter. Looked like his mobility is gone. If he can't buy time in this offense, he's got an uphill battle to anything other than checkdowns or prayer balls. Not saying Fields looked great by any means, but right now, I think this shouldn't be THAT tough a call, at least Fields can run. Play 1980's football, 60-40 run/pass (counting Fields runs) and win with defense, and the occasional PA deep shot to Pickens.
Juju was pretty good in KC. Last year was such a mess in NE, I think it is hard to assess anybody's tape from that team. Mostly though it is a dig at the Steelers WR room, which is an absolute joke. Austin is not good. He has had plenty of time. Wilson went after a lot of other receivers in the draft for a reason.I would very much argue JuJu isn't miles better than anyone anymore. He's put nothing decent on tape in 4 years, other than when he had a 1st ballot HOFer throwing him the ball, and even then, it was just decent. Would much rather bet on Roman Wilson (or Austin I guess) developing quickly than JuJu suddenly having good knees and playing like its 2020 again.He is better than what they have by miles, but still not much of an addition. They really need a WR who can get separation. This was never a strength for JujuCan JuJu still be an effective 2A WR -- possession or underneath type guy, with Pickens and Van and Austin being more vertical guys?
Nothing about this 1st quarter suggests Wilson should be starting. At least Fields can escape.Man, behind this line.. Wilson is probably hoping Fields beats him out.
Why? Rookie OLmen are almost never good. It takes 4 years ish to know what you have from a pick on the line.I'm surprised the oline looks so terrible.
Which is why paying a kings ransom for Aiyuk is a bad ideaIf it continues, I don't care who the QB is next season.. They can bring back a 80 year old former player to just hand it off every snap, but every $ they have needs to go towards OL FA.
Without. good OL, A QB is pretty worthless, especially with this poor WR core.
Of course but there hasn’t been much on offense to be encouraged about eitherAfter last year you would think Steelers fans would know not to put much stock in preseason.
I didn't expect them to be the best oline in the league by preseason game 2, but they look worse than I expected. Clearly there is room between waiting 4 years to see what you have and wishing they looked a little better at this point, right?Why? Rookie OLmen are almost never good.

If the door is still open, sure. The poor OL play isn’t getting fixed anytime soon.Trade a 2 a 3 and Austin for Aiyuk and let’s go. We need wrs that can get open and having him would help free up Gp.
And give him 30m a year??? No thanksTrade a 2 a 3 and Austin for Aiyuk and let’s go. We need wrs that can get open and having him would help free up Gp.
Preseason wins and losses don’t mean anything, the important thing is to remain healthy. This is not great news.x.com

Damn.. I have a bet that he would outrush Harris this season.. DamnThe hits keep on coming.
Report: Jaylen Warren to miss multiple weeks with hamstring injury
The Steelers may be down a running back for the start of the regular season.www.nbcsports.com
I'd think he misses several weeks of the regular season.
I don't think it's a head on straight thing for Jones. His right arm/elbow is injured and being on the right side of the line is not doing him any favors. He has no punch and a lineman without punch will get abused.Frazier will be ready and Broderick Jones had a lesson learned experience. Hopefully Broderick has his head on straight going forward.
Meyers loves his musical chairs, and is proving once again to be a poor OL coach. His stints in Carolina and LA showed as much, yet he was hired anyways.I don't think it's a head on straight thing for Jones.

Dotson and Green went elsewhere and found success. Questions need to be asked about the coaching of these prospects.

It was a preseason game. They don't want their starting QB to take hits. This is 100% Russ unless he is injured.What are the odds Russ is our starting QB week 1? 90% chance, 10% Fields?
Jones was so bad at RT it's hard to say we got a decent look at what Russ can do. Russ mobility was limited. Not sure if it's the calf strain or what. Wasn't much moving the pocket around with him in the game. It's weird... like the offense is supposed to leverage a mobile QB but when Russ is playing we are timid about moving him around? I don't think we've seen the actual AS offense with Russ at the helm.
Guess Essex agrees with the lack of punch diagnosis, but disagrees with a move to the left helping at all. https://steelersdepot.com/2024/08/t...nna-get-one-of-our-quarterbacks-killed-at-lt/I don't think it's a head on straight thing for Jones.

I think this is a 6-11 team. Slow start with Russ and all the injuries, I could see us starting the season at 2-6. But the OLine will improve and the QB play will settle in to a .500 team in the second half of the season.This season is going to be a disaster.
He isn’t mean enough or something.I’m no analyst but I rewound a bunch of plays today.
Someone please show me Jones making a good block. Ugh, we traded up for that. 2nd teamers today
If that's the case, you can make the argument that it's still a preseason game and he knows he's starting. He played fine enough last season for a rookie. I look for him to be even better this season and make this a mute point. We over analyze preseason games too much sometimes. He really hasn't played a ton of college games unlike Frazier.He isn’t mean enough or something.I’m no analyst but I rewound a bunch of plays today.

He looks like one of my Titans failed Ts. I wind up wanting the TE to play T while watching; that's absurd but I still think itI’m no analyst but I rewound a bunch of plays today.
