Have u seen our rushing attempt avg last season vs rb’s? Fantasy gold and a sure bet! It was like watching a 2100 yard rusher, only in reverse! The Steelers are in desperate need of a dominant 2 down player. Edited March 10, 2022 by SMashMouthMike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMashMouthMike Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Kenyon Green, the guard? I’d rather get a L or R tackle looking at our roster. Regardless we should go BPA. And, that MIGHT be this freak from Georgia that tested better than JJ Watt. But a dominant 3 to 0 technique dlineman is super rare and could A) help spell out Heyward who’s getting old. B) provides insurance against Alualu having setbacks or retiring C) helps our ILBs that suck and D) keeps Fitzpatrick from playing in the box and missing so many tackles there and E) might be able to replace/spell Tuitt who might not come back and F) protects against loudermilk not developing G) helps keep Wormley off the field on running downs and let’s him be better at what he is better at, H) might allow for more total offense picks in this draft I) might allow our D to play that 2-4(our supposed base) without a slow nose tackle or a fast but light 5 technique that cannot run defend as manning one of the dt spots etc, etc but the Steelers need to find out and know.

SMashMouthMike Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) I just saw a some clips of Ernie Holmes taking on gene upshaw of the raiders during those 70s playoffs games. Crazy man FATS whupped his butt. Some even said that the 70s raiders oline was maybe the best in history. We need a 3 technique like that. It makes everything else so much easier to the other levels of the D. Goodness that 70s D was incredible. edit*** here is that article. https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/platform/amp/steelers-film-room/2016/3/3/11151454/throwback-thursday-steelers-defensive-tackle-ernie-holmes-decimated Jordan Davis, if I thought he could play 3 technique, might be the only player I’d consider trading up to get. His floor is an above average nose guard or 1 technique or 2 technique. This guy has only been playing football for like 6 years. Would u guys trade up for anyone? There’s another article that had statistics when JD played on 1st and 2nd downs that were pretty incredible too.

Not necessarily because I don’t really like any of the early 1st guys, but because I like so many 2-5th round guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I know Tomlin likes “versatility” and wants another shazier in the middle, but sometimes I want and need the best frickin hammer out there. We’re looking for the wrong unicorns imo, athletic safeties and ILB’s that can cover Te’s and call the plays. F all that. Or at least get the greatest 3 techniques u can on their rookie contracts. I’d worry about the back 7 after feeling or knowing the front four was set. Edited April 5, 2022 by SMashMouthMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Crazy that many mocks have Wyatt going top 10 and Davis out of the 1st. Saw one today that had us taking Travis Jones of UConn in the 1st. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think its also realistic that he's there for us in the 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard a few say devontae wyatt was the best dtackle at Georgia too. But i can’t think of another player with Davis’s high floor, and high ceiling.

mwalker Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 It always depends on who's there when the pick rolls around, but Davis and Wyatt are both really special players that I'd love to have. Both can be three down players, in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be okay if there was a rotation though. I think I’d prefer that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not trust Davis to play 3 tech very long. He is going to end his rookie contract as a 2 down player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
