I wouldnt mind trading our future 7th for a 'tire kick' of a player that might be near the bottom of someone elses likely 53 man roster at TE or S. What guy? Idk tbh. But if there is one i wouldnt have an issue with it.

Everyone please have a great and SAFE weekend! Enjoy your time with friends and family, hopefully you got some good food off the grill.

I see 7-5, 8-4 for WSR

the true reality of it all is that if we win the Superbowl this season The Narrative will become that Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown were what was holding us back from winning one

Itd depend on what the cause of losing the AFCC was. Lets be real, we know that to be true. I however would be pleased with that outcome.

I'm only bringing this up because I talked about it on the terrible podcast Alex kozora and David Brian. Apparently Josh Jones Safety of the Green Bay Packers wants to be traded. He is a former second round pick personally I don't think there's any chance in hell that the Steelers trade for him I don't think they can afford him in terms of draft capital but where are they giving sake is there anybody here that disagrees with me in realistically thinks that we could make a play for him? Guess he gets traded I think it's more likely he gets traded to someplace like New England.

So after a couple of people brought it up I decided to go and listen to Ben Roethlisberger's comments and then I also listen to to his post OTA interview on Steelers Nation radio. I'm not going to sit here and pretend like he hasn't had interviews before where he's said all of the right thing but I don't know part of me feels like this feels different. To hear him take the blame at least in part and talk about how he needs to do better as a leader and he holds himself responsible if they're not making the playoffs because he is supposed to be the leader I mean yeah these are all the things he's supposed to say but I don't know like I said when you listen to the tone in his voice there is a lot of optimism in his voice and I feel like it's more genuine than it's ever been before. Maybe I'm just hearing what I want to hear I don't know but I do know that I liked the interviews.

I mean they are capable of playing in the 4-3 but they would be better 4-3 defensive tackles then they would be defensive end. As for Sean Davis playing corner it's not that I don't think that he can play corner it said I think he's a better safety

there is nothing there that I disagree with

I guess personally at this point I just feel like Artie Burns being on the roster is a bigger risk then it is a reward. If he has to play and he continues to play poorly we could be losing games that make a difference as to whether or not we make the playoffs. Now we have some new pieces some different pieces on this team so it's fair to say that any one of these guys could cost us a game. But in the law of averages so to speak conventional wisdom suggests that already burned is being on the field could be the biggest Factor in doing so

That was a joke.

I think muncher should stay in Arizona and become a Cardinals fan

There is nothing and I do mean nothing that anyone could say that would make me believe is that Artie Burns will ever or should ever play another defensive snap for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah he will get a chance to compete in training camp but I don't think he survived the first round of cuts

You might be right and if we were to get a 6th or 7th I'd be fine with that if we don't get anything and he just gets cut honestly I'm fine with that too

One tidbit on Main I don't know if anybody is checked out his college stats but in his final year in to me this is mind-blowing he had 72 tackles and 15 Pass Deflections. 72 tackles for a corner is really good it shows a willingness to be in the play inability to get to the ball-carrier and he just not shy away from contact . He didnt have many Ints, 1 i think? Because he doesnt go for the Int, he goes for the breakup. I think this is a coaching issue imo. He is a former WR so he likely has at least half decent hands for getting ints. I suspect Layne will open the season as the #4 - #5 CB because he is the rookie. Hilton i expect though to get more time at Safety. Sutton will initially be above Layne because of experience imo. 0 chance in hell Burns gets a spot above any of those guys. They benched Burns for Sensabaugh and he also isnt on the roster anymore. Just sayin.
