*** 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers: Sub-par performance, awful coaching and bad luck in week 16 (9 Viewers)

[fred_1_15301]

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

He isn’t mean enough or something.

He was pretty good last year. It must be injury related.

He really wasn't. He was OK for a rookie.

Jones was fine in this game, but it was against backups and less than a half of work.

Yea, I hope that I am wrong about him. He is a better pick than Kenny Pickett, for sure, and when we made it, I was excited -- until I saw an interview with him. Something about him seems off or "soft" to me. But what do I know?

Any other WRs we think may shake loose via trade or roster cutdowns?

Need another CB too with that Sutton suspension being so long.

There’s chatter that teams have reached out to Houston about John Metchie. Maybe Pitt is considering their options.

Appears Omar big shot was Aiyuk at a discount if things go south in SF or ride with the current roster. Nothing in FA to get excited about over Van Jefferson who has been working his tail off. Depth behind Pickens isn't exciting & even he gets lazy in his routes. AS is going to earn his paycheck scheming up plays to get the ball in Pickens' hands. Roman Wilson will hopefully take over the slot as the season progresses.

OL needs to develop or Russ is going to get killed out there.

If so, this offense is going to be bad. It desperately needs another WR who can get open. Expect double coverage on Pickens and stacked boxes all year.

I agree. It feels like nobody is ever open.

JC Hassenaur cut. Backup C?

 

[steelcityman]

Fields could look better than Vick, Cunningham and a young Russ Wilson rolled into one, and he isnt playing ahead of the old Russ Wilson on the franchise stuck in 1978.
Lifelong Steelers fan from SWPa, and this is the first year I can remember I don't like this team. I'm thinking 4-13 bad.
Maybe that's needed. Failure. Purge. Rebuild. But they will go 8-9 or 9-8 and remain in purgatory.

Steelers have McCormick, Anderson and McCollum who can play C. No need to waste time on Hassenaur.

He'll be fine, once the lunk heads running the show get him back at LT, i just dont know if that will be this year. He's too quick out of his stance on pass pro, gets too deep, and DL have their whole spectrum of moves to use on him. On the right side, you dont need that big jump back, he needs to get into the DL quicker, and hold his ground, he's a monster, he can hold his own vs the best of them.

Its the overall offense that depressed me, I'd give them a D- preseason grade. But maybe it will be a reversal of last years A+ preseason and D- regular season. Time will tell.

Malik Willis traded for a 7th rounder. What a terrible QB class that was.

So Mason Rudolph beat out and got a team to trade the top 2 QBs from that year! lmao

Desmond Ridder went before Willis. He better watch his back.

Forgot about him. There were folks that had us taking Willis in the first! Man, what a bad draft for QBs.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Tim Patrick or John Metchie?

 

[sm8680]

I'm hoping for John. There's a lot of upside or I'm hoping there is.

 

[3C's]

Get the feeling Broderick is going to be riding the bench for a while. And maybe he should. If it's an injury that's holding him back that would let him heal up.

Noah Brown got released.

Quez Watkins released. Damn I had hope.

Quez was nothing but a body. His body of work is miniscule.

 

[Drunken Cowboy]

Tim Patrick or John Metchie?

Metchie was pretty bad last year and is really a slot guy.

 

[Drunken Cowboy]

Noah Brown got released.

Brown has had some drop problems, but is clearly better than most the the Steelers WR's.

I can already see the Steelers bringing Kadarius Toney in.

Hasn't played in 2 years and is now getting ip there in age. I would be interested in kicking the tires, but not making Denver's roster is a bad sign

Yeah, generally looking for your WR from cuts at the end of camp is not a winning strategy

I feel like a WR is coming and one of those dlinemen is heading to the practice squad.

 

[sm8680]

Tim Patrick or John Metchie?

Metchie was pretty bad last year and is really a slot guy.

Not going to disagree with this. But Metchie was coming back from an illness. If anything, I'm hoping they try to sign him to the practice squad. Unless his illness zapped a lot of his energy.

 

[sm8680]

I can already see the Steelers bringing Kadarius Toney in.

Kadarius Toney there's been rumors going around that he has a challenge learning the playbook and routes. You can't teach stupid. Injuries have also zapped some of his speed.

Yeah, but with how bad our WR core is, and him being on KC, I can see us giving him a shot. Not much else out there.

 

[belljr]

Watching hard knocks can we trade for Bageant? Lol

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

I have a bad feeling that our big WR get is going to be Miles Boykin for special teams purposes.

 

[karl.Racki]

The whole WR core revolves around the development of Roman Wilson.. If he develops fast, he is the #2 and they could be ok with Jefferson as 3, and Miller. Plus Muth and even Pruitt has decent hands. But I hate putting stock of the season in development of a rookie WR.

But who knows, maybe he will be the next Justin Jefferson.

Not season ending but Dr. Chao said best case is short term IR.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Probably our best guy on the line. Even if out 4-6 weeks = Ugh.

 

[sm8680]

John Metchie made the Houston Texans roster. Take this with a grain of salt due to a phenomenal preseason. Teams are currently inquiring about him.

Brown no longer an option. Get back on the phone with SF

The ghost of Russell Wilson named the starter

Yes, and next time the wannabe insiders should stay quiet before proclaiming a "deal was done"

Pretty Rickey has left the scene, LOL
