Next Up: @ Steelers

Steelers usually beat us by letting us beat ourselves, that's going to be the focus this week imo. We've got twice as many guys as they do capable of splash plays, it's our recklessness that gets in the way. Penalties, ST and 3rd downs. Don't give them the advantage in those phases and we win handily.
Watching them yesterday, other than the deep ball I didn't see anything that we can't easily handle. I think you're right, focus on playing smart and mistake free and we should win.
 
Sit kyle until he's healthy.
Yeah, ankles can linger a long time, depends on how severe it was. It did look hopeful that he walked off the field under his own power, but if he's not 100% I doubt they risk playing him

According to today’s article on their site, Kyle had stayed in house all weekend getting treatment and Harbs said the should know by Wednesday if he may be able to go. That is very positive news.
 
One thing about yesterday, with all the mid grade teams losing (except for the Chargers), we in an excellent position to make the playoffs if we don’t win the North.

Rest and deer antler spray… you never know. lol
 
These guys are playing well on the defensive side of the ball. I caught a good amount of the Commanders game (my brother is a fan of theirs)

I would like to see us play up to our potential and put on a solid showing. I've had enough of how terrible we look against them. That showing we put last year was disgusting. The drops and lack of discipline was DISGUSTING
 
So Jackson holds the record with 4 perfect passing rating games, and M Williams has managed that over 9 games. What a superstar!
Seriously though, Pierce would do no worse at FS right now
just get Ed Reed out of retirment. Hell at this point I'd take Matt Elam.
 
If there was ever a week to get the D back on track, it's Steelers week. If I'm ZO, my meetings are starting and ending with classic Ravens vs. Steelers slugfests. Show these assholes what they should be doing.
 
Highsmith expected to be out 2-3 games

No way in hell a healthy Lamar misses the playoffs this year. The field is awful, 1/2 of the NFL is unwatchable and another 1/3 is boring. I saw philly/Dallas and Hou/Det yesterday and I can't say I saw good, fun football in either game.
 

ugly

it's clear that marlo, nate and hamilton (when healthy) have to be 100% snap guys
i think stephens is still probably your best 3rd CB option and they're clearly fine with him as the outside RCB

the question is what you do at safety

ar'darius probably is a good bet to be one of your safeties, but i dont know what you can do at the other spot - it might be time to start playing one of the rookies - or at least easing them in situationally... stylistically brade is probably the better fit vs kane - idk how they've been practicing but i think i'd give brade first shot at seeing if there's something there to find a spark in that other safety spot

but i do think that williams needs to sit and i dont think replacing him with eddie jackson is going to do either of them any good either - think marcus probably needs a complete mental reset right now and just a 1 game benching might not be enough

I don't see how Ar'Darius doesn't get most of the deep S reps for now. I know you give up some size and he's not super fast, but at least he's instinctive and around the ball. A guy that can play firmly middle of the road is a massive improvement and he seems like your best bet right now.
 
he slipped... idk why you're so mad about him lol
Firstly fuck Diontae Johnson. Second of all dude, doesn't block. Zay for sure and Bate (for the most part) really block. Third, dude was involved in 2 pass plays. 1 where he couldn't get of bounds and cost us. The second where he slipped in a pretty critical spot. Maybe he'll prove me wrong but that dude should under no circumstances see the field before Tylan.
