MOSteelers56 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I think it's because Sutton is far more versatile, so if we put him as the boundary CB that forces us to change 2 positions. Less moving parts by just starting Burns. Artie just has to keep up with their #2, if only just a little. Also, he could surprise us all and not be the total worst. This is by far the most talented total defense we've had in his career. He'll have the best safety and nickel play that he's ever had, plus probably the best passrush. It might be ok, definitely not the end of the world. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This the fault of tomlin 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Rivers will target him and eventually Sutton will replace burns. Sounds about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 nfl.com shows the steelers haven't allowed a 100 yard WR this season. I never knew this, so lets say (for now) good job by butler and the defence. Will he cover allen with a slow ILB tonight though? Red might be the candidate for that, but that's still about the same as burns. I am expecting the DL to have a good game, they should make rivers throw some bad passes which he will do under pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Obviously we need to win but beyond that, we need Cincinnati and Seattle to get wins today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinci came up short. If we win this one, I definitely think we're right there to still win the division. Baltimore came close to losing to the Bengals.

August4th Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 its going to look like Heinz field JR tonight..we'll have the crowd on our side..can't hurt with Hodges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hodges seems calm anyways, I am expecting a good game from hm if the OC calls decent plays. Thats the IF though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlevinKelevra Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 this game will be ugly. 3-4 TDs where we cover Allen and Williams with LBs despite trading for a playmaker safety. only way we win is if we sack Rivers 8 times or more + Connor rushes for 150.

MOSteelers56 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 If we can sneak out a W going into they bye, I’ll feel pretty good about the future of this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 The Bolts are going to look to jump all over us early. If we can hold them off or if they make some mistakes early we can win. We need to play flawlessly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
