If that line or pass rush struggle, 0-3 is a hard hole to climb out of Hard hole for the playoffs sure. But I don't think 0-3 means top 5 pick automatically. But our next 6 games are Niners, Bengals, Ravens, Chargers, Dolphins, Colts. And based on chargers injuries we might come out of that stretch 4-2 to 3-3.

Lilseb93 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) I love this trade. Minkah is going to be a good player, but right now he's been terrible so far this year and it's not just because the system sucks. Teams have targeted him one on one and roasted him. He's refused to play multiple positions and be a leader. We got a potential top 10 pick out of this. Grier has been doing a masterful job in terms of getting great value in trades. My only question is can he turn these picks into legit players? We can now draft 3 starters including the future QB in the same round. I'm loving this tank job.

Maybe part of the bad start is due to Ben having too much arm pain to throw it deep, and having Mason in there will get the offense back on track. And to be honest, we lost week 2 because the defense sucked rather than the offense being bad. agree about the defence costing the team. However, ben has been terrible in september for the last several years, so that's nothing new. The injury though, is too bad and it won't allow him to play this year . Didn't he say he felt better than ever etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team looked to have a spark when Rudolph entered the game, maybe that was it, the writing is on the wall as they say We may be splitting hairs here but he wasn't as bad as many think he was last year, IMO. The year before, he struggled in the 1st half(?) and finally starting to get it together. That said, these last 2 years are a far cry from he used to be and I feel like most people, who dont watch every Steelers games, are still going off of name and prestige rather than actual play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSURacerDT55 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Dumb, they could have been using that draft capital for their eventual QBOF, even if Ben comes back. Edited September 17, 2019 by MSURacerDT55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilseb93 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I'm happy the Dolphins traded him while he still had great value. I was worried he would pack it in all year, hurt his value, and the Dolphins would have little leverage in a trade. But we managed to get not only a first rounder, but possibly a top 10 pick or higher. Even if it's not, it's still a first round pick for a guy who doesn't want to be here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
