Dcash4 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 1 hour ago, jebrick said: I do not think the team is run first but the team must be able to run to set up the pass. I see that as a little TomAYto / TomAHto. They are gonna wanna control the clock, limit possessions, and establish the run. Probable end more balanced, but not likely to ever have a gameplan to chuck it around 40 times. 1 hour ago, jebrick said: They need an offense that can run and pass out of the same set/personnel. What do you mean!? We have that. The personnel grouping of Boykin, Gunner, Watt, and Gentry is pass or run. We just keep people on their toes by only running....but that first pass, it's coming! But in all seriousness, this is the exact reason I would like to see them utilize 2 TE/2 RBs far more. Heyward can be a FB/RB/TE and line up in the slot. Freiermuth can line up anywhere. Pickens/DJ can be interchangeable. Najee & Warren are both solid in pass protection and catching. This group of skill players should be able to get into multiple formations, never come off the field, and live in a run/pass options down to down. Matt Canada's brain would explode though.

That’s why I’m increasingly ok with them going TE kinda high..Mayer or Washington. If you don’t wanna add another significant WR…maybe another multi-dimensional TE is the route to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The draft is deep in TEs. Not need to get one early. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are day 3 OTs as good as the top rated guys on most draft boards. There isn't any TE that can do what Darnell Washington brings to a team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to get a center and/or a OG by the end of day 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The Steelers are pro cardiovascular disease. Whatever you want the Steelers to do in the offseason, do not say it out loud or they will do the opposite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 According to PFF we ran man coverage at the 5th highest rate of any team 3/4 of the way through the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true does that make JPJ a better fit here than others have alluded to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will make for some interesting scouting meetings between Khan, Weidl, Coach Tomlin, and the scouts. Did Weidl bring any scouts to Pittsburgh?

Sheldon White is new, came up with the Lions. Dave Peters is now in charge of pro scouting. There’s a good bit new. Seems as though the biggest thing that Kahn did and Weidl is a part of is more of a split between pro and college scouting, and on the college side it seems as though regional scouts are out and everyone is more position based. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison just reminds me of a slightly more polished Dan Moore. To'oTo'o has day 3 prospect all over him. No thanks to another rd 2 or 3 WR.
