Only 1 guy will hold us back. We should be able to run on GB in Brazil and I am looking forward to that. First game, everyone will be sloppy,Bark will exploit that. GB pass D is pretty good,but we have the talent. Someone will be open somewhere.Hurts needs to find them. If Goedert is used correctly,he can hurt GB. Need to cover Watson especially on D and show some new looks with the pass rush. I think Fangio will do that. I'm not too awfully worried about their running game

Lol Just a stupid take to say Sanders isn’t an upgrade our current backups. Sanders was crap in Carolina. He lost the starting job pretty fast here.Hard to know which version we would get if we got him back. I don't see him as an upgrade to Gains-about the same IMO. I think Shipley will come on as the season goes on

Lol Just a stupid take to say Sanders isn’t an upgrade our current backups. Not stupid at all...Sanders absolutely sucked last year and lost the job to Chubba Hubbard. Then I assume you would sign Chubba Hubbard for over $2 mil... the better RB?

We could bring in another guy cheaper later, that's better. That's if they feel they need one.

You still haven’t picked up on just how much Siri has tried to force Gainwell…even after him being named starter to begin last season.

Once again many possible reasons why. The "starter" only takes the first snap,it's not a big deal. You make is sound like some catastrophe. Maybe I can "start" in Brazil. I'm sure it would be the only snap I got all game, and??????? I did think Gains was a bit over used,but neither you or I have any control over that. Still with his "over use" Swift racked up twice the yards,so was he really overused? Or was he used to give Swift breathers so he could attain those yards? Only a few people would know the reasoning and you and I aren't one of them. I think Gains will also be used to relieve Bark. Will you also call that overuse as we try to stretch Barks 3 year contract we signed him to? Gains contract is up after this year,so then you'll need another guy to hate

He got the first snap... they had the idea of committee and not over using Swift last year. I really wish Swift played the first snap...just not to have to read your garbage about it. Gainwell was never a true #1 here. Never intended to be. The issue with both of the last two guys is they couldn't pass protect. It's why Gainwell logged a lot if snaps, yet didn't touch the ball as much. Ratio touches per snap. 4.5 carries per game for 4.6 yards a game....that's fine for one of your backups. The issue last year is they got zero from the #3 RB. If you get another 5 carries from that guy, then the run game becomes more of a factor for the defense to have to stop. It's a subtle difference that ends up being huge. Can Shipley get 5 carries per game to keep the defense on their heels ??? That would be ideal. You get 10 more carries in addition to Barkley each game... helps out a ton over 17 games. Big difference, especially considering Gainwell's injury last year..and still nothing from #3.

Lol I know they have to list them for the NFL,but I don;t care as much about who starts as who finishes and gets the needed yards and scores throughout the game. But yeah I can "start" at TE with Geodert as the 2,then go home LOL. IDK how TE2 would be portrayed in that scenario. If he plays the first snap,I believe he would have to be listed as starting TE2 I believe the first 22 guys to take a snap would be the starters you had to list as such

He got all the touches accept for one carry given to Swift. Siri got saved from himself with Gainwell not being able to suit up for week two at least.

Rewatch the game if you already forgot how close that game was against the Pats. Then rewatch week two when Gainwell was hurt and Swift finally got the start. Ran all over them. Shipley should be in front of Gainwell quickly if Siri gets out of the way. Have two quality other RBs I believe could compliment our RB room better than Gainwell this season also. Kendall Milton that pure rusher I give the edge too from Georgia.

Lol Gainwell took all the carries except one…what do you call that? Would be a quality point….if it was just one play…or set of plays. Terrible point when looking at factual hindsight…which you swung and missed on once again. Nobody ever said rest of the year either. Combination of BS all in one post.
May 28, 20241 yr Patrick Queen stated he had 15 teams interested in him. Why did he accept such a weak contract? To play in Pittsburgh none the less.
May 28, 20241 yr https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/patrick-queen-says-he-took-less-money-to-play-for-steelers
May 28, 20241 yr I get not wanting to go to a crappy team. It’s not all about the money. But the Steelers aren’t some front running contending team. He took much less…but took less AND gave team control away about his future. Dumber than just signing a straight one year deal to accept less money. Queen has a terrible agent. Steelers worked a brilliant best signing of the offseason contract on this one.
May 28, 20241 yr Tony Jefferson is coming out of retirement. Very experienced quality S. Don’t know of any connection we have with him.
