Dcash4 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Looks like Haskins is going to get a good group to showcase against. Hoping we give him some offensive “starters” to help him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Well the defense looked pretty bad for most of their first drive. They came up big at the end, though. Buggs and Loudermilk made good plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjfollett Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I have low expectations for the overall team with so many starters out, so I am focusing on individuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, me too. Seeing young guys go up against starters is a good gauge of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcash4 Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 Havent been able to watch yet but hearing good things on Norwood? Just read the dropped a pick. I saw him get lost in the muck of a pick route, but that’s kinda expected in your first slot action. But I’m kinda hoping he is out dime….just need to figure out the full time nickel.

From what I’ve seen of him, he hasn’t looked good tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcash4 Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 This has been a really disappointing game. You want to see someone stand out and demand a spot or a helmet or PT. But I e seen nothing tonight. Haskins wasn’t good, Spillane is playing his way OFF the roster, Sexton blew his chance, UGIII had an opportunity to unseat Spillane and can’t. Like, can one person shine for a quarter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missed tackle was a bad one, though. He could have made the tackle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcash4 Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 Wow. A fumble now. I feel like this will be the first time ever to have a PS filled entirely by players not on the current roster. Tomlin has to pick which players sucked less to make this team. Boy, this game was baaaaaad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Our backups got me worried. I also don't feel great about Haskins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKSteeler Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I think the team made a mistake going with the traditional 4 preseason game format. Were back-ups really that bad tonight, or were they simply playing against guys further up the depth chart than them who also likely had some game planning? And the reverse is true. Last week, what the Steelers did against the Lions has an even bigger asterick than just, well, it's preseason because they were the ones game planning and playing their starters a longer period of time. It would have been better to match what the rest of the league was doing with their three games. Treat the 3rd game like you would the 4th, you have that advantage, and then use the Carolina game as your dress rehearsal for the regular season. They did a disservice to the young guys/back-ups tonight by setting them up to fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
