We’re also focusing on defense to solidify the Super Bowl window in the draft this year, these next few years will be fun. Clark has been a diamond in the rough, excited about him.

Juju is overhyped much the same way the Steelers nation overhyped James Conner. Theyre just a huge step down in talent level from what they had with AB and Bell.

Nah he isn’t, next year he will have a huge bounce back year. Conner though he a good RB but he’s made of glass, looks like he will part ways with the team due to that.

I guess I’m stupid then, according to a practice squad poster. You really a Steeler fan in disguise? Because you sure are sticking up for them

Thank you. JuJu ain’t no number one. Fumbles in crunch time situations. Probably focused on his next vlog. Conner isn’t that great either.
Every late round pick we hit on at this point is like playing with house money given the makeup of this roster as it stands
While I agree with you about juju I just don’t see Conner as a good RB

Don’t disrespect me like that, no way in hell I am but I am unbiased about them. Let’s be real here.

So, you call @JAAM stupid but find it disrespectful when he points out you're mostly talking about Pittsburgh players as a new member around here?
Way to introduce yourself to the board...

This is what I came here for. The fact they were able to run like that with a new guy in the lineup, against that front is incredible. Also has me thinking if they couldn't slow down RG3 none of these playoff teams will be able to slow us down on the ground. Whoever we see in the divisional round is getting thrashed.
just like to point out before there's a weird pile on that he did say very specifically that 'if he thought x, then he's stupid' which i dont think is an unfair point
@Filmstudy hasn't released the OL grades yet on filmstudybaltimore but he has released the podcast where he talks through them with Gordon McGuinness of PFF (also a ravens fan) in tandem with the PFF grades for the game... you can find the podcast here if interested https://filmstudybaltimore.com/offense-notes-steelers-ravens-week-17/ (i thought it was one of the best episodes of the season)
and Powers graded out with an A while Ehinger languished with a D - notably Powers didnt have any negative pass rushing events in his snaps which is really promising
what's great is that both PFF and Ken were similarly positive about Powers in the game

I think we should definitely prioritize Stanley and Judon now if we’re going to keep them. I agree that we should extend them over Humphrey not just because of the additional years, but because it’s the smart move too. It’ll cause less contention too with Peters since you’ll give some time between he and Humphrey‘s contracts. Stanley should be top dog then Judon.
I don’t know about going solely after defense. It’s a great idea since it’s where we’re weak but I also like the idea of becoming an offensive powerhouse. The only position I feel strongly about going defense is Edge but I’d take a safety or CB or IDL or any position in the first really outside maybe QB and possibly TE. WR, RB, OL, Edge, ILB, S, CB, DL are all areas where we can improve.

I felt Powers showed great pop in his hands and a quick get off with an ability to strike first and move the defender. Also appears more athletic in space.
some promising signs for sure - makes me wonder why the ravens didnt just give him the whole game - surely he's done enough there to warrant being the 7th OL on gamedays unless they keep the others because of position flexibility to cover more than 1 position? that could, i suppose, also be why they decided to give starter snaps to ehinger - because he's more likely to be active in the playoffs...
either way though it would have been nicer to see powers play the whole game - next offseason's going to be a big deal for powers and i hope yanda sticks around after the season because its invaluable having him in the building with the young guys
My Steelers toilet paper got a lot of usage during that game.

We swept them in 2019. I HATE the Squeelers in the NFL the most.

Really hoping that Roman doesn’t leave. Would be a major blow to our offense,
Hell yea we did! Love sweeping them, but I hate that we lost to the browns I hate those fuckers the most.
