But hopefully they happen now and we are healthy through the actual season Just now, GreenbleedinNC said: Well you could make an argument for Butler then,who is mediocre at both spots,but he can play either. We need a decision on him,he has been hanging around like Jjaw Butler has been officially moved to WR now my guess he gets cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they will be overly cautious after the Djax fiasco,but these draft picks need to PLAY,not be coddled once again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedinggreen93 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Also Jackson hasn’t been mediocre he been one of the better players all through camp. Only 23 6’7 250 been playing really well. Considering he only been at TE for a year have to like his growth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said Butler was mediocre at both spots, but he can play both, so maybe he sticks on the PS in the event we need either/or. If you had to choose do you lose Rogers or Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had to choose do you lose Rogers or Jackson If we had to cut one Rodgers this team needs young talent but still think we end up going 4 TEs. Think we will end up moving Ertz at some point so it will be the trio of Geodart/Rodgers/ Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenbleedinNC Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Also I want to say Mullens is still dealing with an elbow, that is not a good spot to hurt as a QB,so perhaps he will get better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would take some uncanny incident to move him out at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 1 preseason game pls try will change before final cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asg 15 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 After watching the game i only have one thought. They'd better not have a bunch of injuries especially on the D line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard Ty McGill and Milton both looked good also heard some good things on Tarron Jackson. Kerrigan didn’t even play if I recall because of the thumb. Sounding like our DL group will be strong and deep during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedinggreen93 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Maybe the biggest concern from the game we went like 0-8 on 3rd down that needs to be improved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummmmmm Eagles DL is solid like 8-9 guys deep… My point being I can’t name a single team that can avoid to loss 3-4 guys at one spot and expect to play well. Eagles DL depth you know the guys that will make the team those 8-10 guys all played well… The 6th string PS DE doesn’t bother as much if he doesn’t play well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedinggreen93 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 From what I see the Eagles have 3 good DE Kerrigan didn’t play but should be fine and Tarron Jackson the rook had some moments. DT- Cox is fine Hargrove played well, Milton was distributing and also plays end.. and Ty McGill made plays that 4 guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedinggreen93 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 How much depth are we expecting I can’t name a single team in the NFL that is 10+ guys deep on the DL or any position for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asg 15 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 First PS game and the starters looked pretty good except for a few drops and Hurts missing a wide open WR for a TD. I'm saying if a game comes down to our backups playing against someone elses backups, which in the NFL is gonna happen sooner or later it might be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get to that point in the season again like last year and our Ol we should expect a bad unit and what I’m saying also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenbleedinNC Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Just get me through this season with some solid team play. IDC if we win games or not.Just get solidified at some places then next year we have a bevy of draft picks. I'm still holding out for 7 wins. I don't expect much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsb235 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 A lot has been made how the Steelers looked great in the second half against us. But they played their second team from midway through the second quarter until halfway through the fourth quarter, when we pulled our starters early in the first and our second team at halftime. So they literally beat up on our deep reserves with their players who are likely to see a lot of time this year. Chaz Green, who is 29 years old and has played in 37 games, was going against Tarron Jackson, a sixth round pick playing in his first game. Their second team center and guard played 30 percent of the snaps last year. They were going against a sixth round pick and an UDFA who was on the practice squad last year. Haskins is their third qb, but he is a former first round pick playing with guys who are going to be on the Steelers roster this year against our guys who will be lucky to make the PS. It will be interesting to see if the third team can bounce back next week. I think the Patriots will mirror our playing time, as they played their starters about the same amount as we played ours, although their second team played longer.

It's called welcome to the NFL. When you get your arse kicked, it makes you realize how much more work you need to put it just to be second string. Perhaps this was intentional? Kinda like, a well put up or shut up reality call. Although that opens them up to more possibility of injury(for guys that may be expendable anyhow) it would seem to me to separate the boys from the future men. I can't say this is what happened,but I'm all for it. I recall the old school college coaches doing this with young HS recruits(like Woody Hayes, or Bobby Bowden) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenbleedinNC Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Actually based on the above,we DID see that with our WR's last year and even Scott right? Trial by fire makes you tougher(aka iron sharpens iron). And we got Ward and Scott out of that although that was because we had no choice Even so if that was the intent last night, it served it's purpose. Now they know how far they have to go to be PRO's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
