would you give borjo a chance at LT next year or nah? as of right now im torn apart. i had massive hopes for brojo coming in, but a good LT wouldnt look this bad at RT even if its not his prefered position. his hand positioning is terrible at times
Broderick did a good job of finishing run blocks on many of our carries, while his pass pro was terrible too often. Thank goodness that failures help us learn and improve more. Still have faith in the big boy. The double Big Macs were excellent for the most part, and our left side was very solid. Proud of that OL unit even though Russ had little time to throw many times. And with that effective Jets pass rush, Russell still mananged to get off some very athletic throws. Love seeing the TE's more involved. Passes hung a little on Wash to his detriment on a couple catches, but man when he gets a head of steam, just like Muth and Naj, it's so much fun. Naj still not getting love from Steelers fans becaue they're more interested in being correct than being fans. Dude is special and I love that we are getting Naj in his prime. Love him whether he gets 1 yard of 50 on a play.
@@paladin1726 right if we trade him it after this year as much as we used him he'll have one maybe two more years in the tank of being a demon. At this point it will be better for us then him
@@paladin1726 don't get the message wrong I love naj I'm just being real we have put a lot of miles on naj I mean if he went to a team that has a great line then he could have 3 years in the tank left of being a beast
Got to love the energy of our players during and after that game. Lots of people knock the positivity Russ exudes but the results are apparent. A few notes; Darnell Washington finally being utilized as I pictured, 4 catches on 4 targets and after his first two catches it drew the LB into his short zone area which opened up Muth who's often bracketed between a LB and Safety. Nice to see the OL mix in some power/gap scheme and were successful using it. We will need to draft two WR's in 2025 and after we get a premium 6-2 or bigger deep threat, I'm still high on Jaylin Noel as a 4th or 5th round addition who can take the top off the defense. Noel now has 37 recs, 681yds, 3TD's in a Cyclones offense that's similar to ours.
I’m pumped we’ve scored 30 in back to back weeks. This team is spoiling us! I wasn’t huge on the team starting Russ like many of us, but it looks like it’s a good thing Tomlin is making our decision and not any of us. Get us a second WR that Russ can throw to and this can be a team that can make some noise. Let’s go into the bye week at 6-2
A refreshing game to watch definitely was good to see how things came along and what could be...I was almost on point with my game predictions..thank you sir appreciate you
DB - if you can figure out a way to show the plays as you're talking about them, and even mark them up with a marker (the routes etc), I think your numbers will explode. Not sure what software exactly that'd entail (LOL) - but just a suggestion! You're by far probably my fav Steelers content creator. Keep up the great work!
If we have another good game against the Giants, then a scary decision is going to arise. To have potentially two somewhat solid qb’s even for how cheap they were to acquire is actually insane. I pegged us at the first under 500 this year at 6/7 wins and we already got 5 of them. Beating the Browns alone the two times we face them would get us there. This game was a great watch!
DB I've seen a lot of people online saying that Arthur opened open the playbook for Russ and the play calling was way different. Is there any validity to this? I know there were no designed QB runs and less RPO's but was it actually a play call difference or Russ executing? Thanks!
I just know Ryan Clark loves to see the tackling out of DeShon Elliott. 25 was the best Steelers free agent signed this offseason. (maybe the best league-wide)
Russ shook the rust off……he got rid of the ball. He put touch on the ball. Russ was decisive,and made it EASY to catch the ball even though some were under thrown. I think he’ll clean that up. I think we should be undefeated but I’ll take 5-2 any day.
Russ made throws that Justin wasn’t making, and was seeing open receivers that Justin wasn’t seeing. And he moved around the pocket, and play action was very effective. Guess he is the #1 QB.
@@johndherman75you are right. Those passes that went into the dirt weren’t what justin was making. Two 50/50 passes accounted for for 80 of the 260 yards. Take those away, you have the same stats as fields.
We might finally have an offense that doesnt get carried but actually move in step with the defense. Beanie balled out. Jaylen’s impact on the offense is severely underrated. Just watch his pass blocking giving Russ extra time then being that safety valve on that check down and break dbs down for a 1st. Still need a wr 2 across from Pickens who can get open. Doesnt have to be a big name. Just someone better than Van (Darius Slayton maybe 👀)
They all said that Russ wouldn’t be able to do it behind our offensive line. They said Justin Fields was this team savior. The team is good with or without just fields. with or without Russell Wilson. You could even put Mason Rudolph back there or Kenny Pickett. As long as you have TJ.
But Russ will throw the ball when it needs to be thrown. They both have great attributes but you can live without the QB runs. You can't live without the passing unless your AFC Championship opponent is Cleveland.
@@oshae248 yeah that kind of happens when you’re playing your first regular season game in a year. And if you have good receivers, those underthrown passes will be caught. But he still made the reads and threw on time. In cases where the DB has great coverage, underthrowing is often a good thing. Silly nitpick.
@@paladin1726no excuses dude. Underthrown. Defender turns around they are intercepted. Take away two 50/50 passes and Russ had identical stats with fields.
@@jtfike Agreed, if the defender who isn't watching the ball because he's working to get on GP's hip suddently knows exactly where the ball is going to drop and turns around at the right time, he will fight of GP and get the pick, and GP won't have any chance to catch it or break it up. And by the same token, if every other defensive player in the NFL knows exactly where a ball is going to land, then every pass would be intercepted. What a stupid argument. By your own "No excuses" comment, a back shoulder throw should never count. T You haven't learned enough about football to know when a receiver is open and when he isn't based solely on what the defender is doing. But I agree with you on your final "no excuses" point: If Steelers receivers don't catch passes, then Russell's yards are similar to Fields. I'll even defend your point even more. If Fields throws passes that he should throw instead of the times he unnecessarily scrambles, he would have yardage totals closer to Russell Wilson. And he wouldn't have lost his starting job. Excellent points.
If Russ play doesn’t improve from last night what do you think we will do? Side note I don’t think the players that returned from injury are getting enough credit lol
Russ out performed any and all of Fields start's. Also I can see field's getting a few plays a game for the rest of the season. Biggest thing I loved the game last night
@@jtfike what do you mean Russ Def has out performed fields as a passer and they both are QBs. As a runner yeah fields takes the cake. But they aren't half back's they're signal callers and field generals and there for fields under performed otherwise Tomlin would not have started Russ he seen we could be better than what we were putting out and made the switch. It only looked like a back fire for about 26.5 minutes then we poured the sauce
@@jtfike GP was barely getting more than 50 yards a game. In one shake off the rust game he grabbed the ball for 112 and a TD fields will be the starter next season or mid season next year. Just rewatch Russ last games with the broncos. Dude went on a five game run and Payton benched him and they missed the playoffs. Just saying Russ looked like the hungry Seahawks QB not the has been.
@@oshae248 that's no lying there bud I've seen the same games you did. As a passer Russ Def out performed him. They're both QBs first and mobile second not the other way around. Plus game to game stats don't lie tell yourself what ever you want don't serve me shit water and tell me it's Kool-aid
Glad the Steelers won. However, I have learned not to live in the moment. I would like to see more schemes to open up simple catches(like the late CA3 catch). Outside of the LOS pass to Washington there were not many pass plays that weren’t underthrown lob passes lol. Muth had 2 catches, no other WR with more than 2 catches. All the Russ praise is cool but for me it’s tbd. He did ok at best
I am hoping you will do an honest look at Russ performance. We should enjoy the win and great job Russ. But if you review this performance with the same level of critique others have looked at Fields, Russ will need to get better. You cannot live on 50/50 balls that are under thrown. All teams would just do that. You saw as many balls in the dirt. What % passes did he complete 55%? This jets team looked disengaged and they were depleted in secondary. I am not saying sit Russ, let’s see what he does but just saying we should look at this more objectively then I am hearing and I know you will. Saying that, something to build on and hopefully Fields is tacking notes so when he gets back in he can take some of the positives Russ did display. Just really worry about Russ, his arm underwhelmed if we look honestly we will see people open the next team you would think is going to put a safety over top. The two catches by Pat, the one by the other two receivers is not a receive like we are making it sound. Saying that run game is showing real improvement and the d will get better as people get healthy.
If Russ play doesn’t improve from last night what do you think we will do? Side note I don’t think the players that returned from injury are getting enough credit lol

GP on 3rd n 4 fighting g for the 1st down was impressive. Need that from him. Know he can make the. Circus carches
Russ showed the leadership that a starting QB in the NFL has to have.
