43M Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I wish people would chill out a bit about how our OL looked against the Texans, especially in regards to two very young players who are still adjusting. Again, I do worry that we may still need a lomg term LT, but I am fully confident both Jones and Fautanu will be good players on our OL for years to come. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Prior to this season I hadn't watch a lot of Wilson or Fields tbh, so pardon my ignorance. I don't think either guy is necessarily great at this, but which guy is better suited for a rhythm/timing offense? It seems like from my cursory knowledge of them that neither are great at it. I know Fields struggles with timing. I know Wilson historically liked to move around and buy time. I ask this question because potentially adding Aiyuk has made me think of it. I know Aiyuk is a guy that does well with precision routes and timing(I think. Again, I don't watch a lot of non Steeles games). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to a podcast where the host mentioned Aiyuk being great at getting open with the QB is scrambling. I expect Fields or wilson to do that a lot.

It’s not a great fit with either, as you mentioned, but to answer your question it’s likely Russ just based on experience. He has seen more and therefore should be comfortable operating faster…it’s just not his style. You can probably train/coach Fields to be that moreso than Wilson because of his age and lower experience level, but if you were to need that skill set tomorrow it’s likely russ. I find this whole thing interesting. Fields and Wilson are a bad fit for Arthur Smith, but if they land Aiyuk it’s going to be Arthur Smith that’s the bad fit for the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read on SD that Miller has outplayed CA3 so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL level is generally not the place to by changing their fundamentals. What works for fields may not work for everyone and vice versa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Could we get a quick blurb about the tweets that are linked in here. I just started back at work and they've blocked twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 https://steelersdepot.com/2024/08/george-pickens-arthur-smith-has-way-better-scheme-for-deep-balls/ Wait. We have a scheme to get Wr open now? Is that legal in the NFL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
