Official Gameday Thread 8-22-14, yet another game against some other team that doesn't matter

[pittstang5]

Awe...# 74 almost had a pick. That guy's huge.

Sherrod Play 31 run block, lost his guy on change of direction

Sherrod Play 32 pass block, little loose but stayed in front of weird two man wide rush

Sherrod Play 33 backside run block good and uneventful

Sherrod Play 34 run block, RB to his side but never gets there due to other penetration Gets guy blocked initially

[SMBASS]

Tolzien has looked much better than Flynn tonight. I think I'm ok if he's the back up and they let Flynn go.

I agree that Tolzien looks better than Flynn pitt. (Never thought I'd be saying that.) Tolzien has a lot stronger arm and his command of the offense is night and day better than last year when he was thrown to the wolves.

Sherrod Play 35 pass pro good and uneventful rusher sat back worried about screen or coverage

Sherrod Play 36 run block backside. Good initial block did let him loose wide at end

Sherrod Play 37 run block, got his guy stood up and lost him, man made tackle. No penetration but didn't neutralize him

Sherrod Play 38 pass pro, wide rush, caught him and would have been close if Tolzien had not got rid of ball quick for completion

Sherrod Play 39 pass pro. Took the wide end but free rusher between G and T from LB spot.

I think Tolzien can be NFL starter now. He's got arm strength, accuracy, toughness, smarts. He's made the 53. What to do with Flynn if Tolzien is backup? I say keep both.

[Harlan Huckleby]

QBs go down throughout the season. Flynn or Tolzien could draw mid-round draft pick to desperate team.

[Harlan Huckleby]

garbage time

[pbmax]

Matt McGloin can play too.

Right now Mulumba is getting nowhere.

[pbmax]

Preillo is a terrible blocker.

I think Sherrod is out.

Perry's limited stay I think means he is definite for roster at the 3 or 4 rank.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Preillo is a terrible blocker.

you wouldn't say that to his face, coward

[pbmax]

He does appear braver versus DBs than DTs.

I weighed 250 pounds in college, was a heavyweight wrestler. I got beat in a wrestling match by a guy who weighed 140 pounds, was over 40 years old. I was drunk and laughing, but that little guy was incredibly strong. My whole life I have remembered that grapple in the grass, i never underestimate a little man.

Hubbard looks like a small forward.

Except Perillo basically turned down his first block.

Wow, 3rd and 4th Stringers really suck or just don't give a shit.
