Steeler Hitman Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Saturday, December 23, 2023 at 4:30 pm. Acrisure Stadium Pittsburgh, PA Last Game: won by the Steelers in Cincinnati. This is also the last game that the Steelers won putting them at 7-4. The Steelers offense moved the ball and put up more than 400 yards of offense, but only scored 16 points. They will need a similar offensive effort to just be respectable. But they will also need to score points. That just hasn't been happening consistently for the 2023 Steelers. Mason Rudolph is the next man up at QB. He is looking ready to go after sub par efforts by Mitch Tribisky. FYI: Kenny Pickett was sighted at the facility rehabbing on Monday. Stay tuned! A picture of Teddy Pendergrass' song, "The Whole Town's (League's) Laughing at Me!" This has been a rough year for Coach Tomlin. Jake Browning proving to be more than the average Joe. No Burrow, no problem with the Bengals offense. No Chase, but Tee will be back. Secondary is riddled with injuries like the ILB position. This picture sums it up with most fans in Steelers Nation Hoping for any signs of life from the Steelers. This season is slipping through sure hands of one of the team's promising young stars.

jebrick Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I still think this is a lose even with Rudolph starting. I do not believe the Steelers can score more than 17 points. Bengals without Chase but will have Higgens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot take: I would trade down then. I think that there's enough talent at the positions that we need to still get good value and pick up extra assets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFF Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 This will be the 1 game they pull out of their behind unfortunately. Something like 23-17 due to a defensive TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I'm hoping for a 3 sack game for TJ and a big L in the scorebook. This season is lost, but I'd love to see TJ break the record. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that there's enough talent at the positions that we need to still get good value and pick up extra assets. especially if they are keeping KP, trade down, get OT and C early, maybe the NT in RD2 if we get extra pick. If they trade GP and don't sign Higgins, then they probably get a WR early. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think the FO would lean towards keeping the pick since we quite literally never draft that high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR43 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 My current mock: 1. Jer'Zhan Newton DE Illinois 2. Donovan Jackson OG Ohio State 3. Malachi Corley WR Western Kentucky 4a. Jackson Powers-Johnson Center Oregon 4b. Junior Colson ILB Michigan 6. Moose Muhammad III WR Texas A&M 7.

Sadly, I won't be shocked if we win 2 of our last 3. As bad as we are, Tomlin has a knack for having us win games we would be better off losing, en route to a record that allows him to keep the whole "Tomlin has never had a losing season" narrative going strong. In reality.....we havent been much better than the 2 win Patriot team we lost to. We would be much better off with 4 wins right now, as opposed to a few extra insignificant close wins against mediocre teams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like is Alt is there it's hard to move down, but I'll run a PFF mock with us at 9 just for giggles to see how it falls for this thought process. Chi - Caleb Williams NE - Drake Maye Ari - Marvin Harrison Jr Was - Joe Alt Chi - Malik Nabers NYG - Jayden Daniels NYJ - Olumuyiwa Fashanu LAC - Jer'Zhan Newton Ten - Rome Odune So that puts us up. The top on the board are Brock Bowers, Chop Robinson, Jarden Verse, Laiatu Latu. A TE and 3 Edge guys. You could talk me into Wiggins, McKinstry, or DeJean here but I would need to be really sold. It's too early for Latham or Fuaga. So I would look at someone like Denver at 15. Atlanta, Vegas, New Orleans all need edge players and draft ahead of them. They would have their pick of the 3. Arizona at 17 (as of now) is another option as they need a corner and they would have their pick. Lets just say 15 is who we move with (Denver). So 10 is worth 1300 points and 15 is worth 1050. So they need to come up with a value of 250. So 15, 79, 2025 3rd would work. Or 15 and 2025 2nd. 13 with Vegas would be another good draft swap spot. They could have their pick of corners. They only need a 150 point difference. So they give up 13 & 70 for 10 & 111. And that's the worse case situation you are looking at to move down. I really feel Washington and the Giants are the wild cards up there. Washington could go with Daniels, pushing Alt to the Jets or 10. If Washington does go LT, Giants might go with Bowers pushing Daniels down, and I don't think any of the next three teams would take him. Maybe at that point Arizona gives you the overpay deal to move down that's hard to say no on of 2 1sts+ to take him. I think that Denver, Tampa, Minny would be 3 other teams willing to give up the house for Daniels that would be hard to say no to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to call you out @43M but you clearly have not been watching the last 3 weeks (sarcasm). This team sucks, on both sides. The games that we normally win that we aren’t supposed to were the last two weeks. We have a very real chance of going 0-6 to end the season. 🎉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
