Official Steelers Discussion Thread

Jolly out = Does Boyd or Wilson become de facto RE in base defense? And Datone Jones can quit bitching about having his playing time reduced and start producing.

Yes, and Worthy should get his act together too.

[Cleft Crusty]

Packer tackling is an issue but defense against the deep pass (see Eagles game) has been horrible.

It's been especially bad when it has relied on two safety coverage or cb/safety combination coverage. Packers do best with fly patterns with Shields manned up on one side at least. Would like to see him on Brown and then combination coverage on the other side. The middle of the field stuff is devastating.

[Pugger]

A "significant" one.

I'm surprised they haven't IR'ed him yet.

I heard they are waiting for the swelling to go down.

Best comment of the Year. I hope one of you made it at JSO:

Jersey Al - ALLGBP @JerseyAlGBP 2m
RT @JSComments: TT is holding AR out to stick it to Bob McGinn for the "soft team assembled by TT" articles from the beginning of the year

Press: "Mike McCarthy, what do you think of Bob McGinn?"
McCarthy: "I don't think of him"

[Pugger]

How the fuck exactly can there be this many fucking posts, in a fucking Packer forum about the Steelers coming to town, and there's not ONE additional "Fuck the Steelers!" comment, picture, video or other meme?

Do I have to EVERYTHING around here? Huh? Do I?

I asked you 3 fucking times already- do I?!






Geez.


.

That last one about asking someone to kick their asses is a riot!

Clefty spends half his waking hours waiting for the swelling to come down.

They like that one high D with Richardson in the box. That's probably what's needed with Pitt's propensity to run the ball. If the Pack plays 2 S's high, the other one probably needs to be Jennings (as much as I hate to type that).

I was thinking that being at home + weather + Pitt's tendencies this year should allow GB to play this way quite a bit on Sunday, which should help GB out because they've had better results there. I don't know how long it will last, though, because other teams will probably figure out Richardson's range and start taking advantage of his limitations.

No Brandon Bostick for the #Packers today, and as @TomSilverstein reported Jolly done for the year. Lacy, B. Jones, Perry were back.

[Tony Oday]

AR needs to slip the doctor a couple of hundreds and get on the field!

[MadtownPacker]

Clefty spends half his waking hours waiting for the swelling to come down.

I thought the commercials says to seek medical help after 4 hours?

Here is an article from earlier this year.

http://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Speedy-releases-make-QBs-more-dangerous-4828535.php

ARod is at 2.45 sec ahead of P Mannings 2.48 sec. Per the article ARod is tied for 6th quickest in the NFL.

Aaron Rodgers release time has improved to where in this article the measure of his release makes that now 6th fastest in the NFL:

Speedy releases make QBs more dangerous

GO PACKERS !

I already posted that two pages ago which you ignored when responding back to Cleft!

I think the same way.

The big thing that can neutralize Richardson's coverage issue is some heat.

Ya know, Sean is close, he just needs to relax, play to his help and read his keys. He's one of those guys you need to calm down, not fire up.

I usually take great pride (probably misplaced as I have nothing to do with it) that the Packers leave the medical decisions in the hands of the Doc and not the Head Coach. TT's presence here soils the perfectly constructed decision making process a might, but still I think it best that decisions like this are made by people who are not likely to be fired if the player doesn't play.

However, not knowing WHY is maddening. I think its just because its 8 weeks to heal as the non-Packer Team Doc the Press Gazette quoted earlier said. I am having more trouble understanding the close mouthed-ness than the injury.

If they wanted to deceive the opposition, they should stop leaking stuff to Schefter and stop talking about WHEN the decision will be reviewed. Let his practice reps be your smokescreen and stop talking.

And once again, M3 is late for his Friday presser. Apparently NFL Network is broadcasting it today. Slandermuse is speculating that maybe Rodgers and M3 are making one last push for 12 to play...
