Initial Thoughts on Texan Game

Rebuild by signing and extending a bunch of old guys? They have a few nice young pieces but need to tear it down to the studs.

You draft or sign somebody and then you get rid of the subpar starter. That’s what they’re doing. Signing Rodgers as a stop gap doesn’t stop them from trying to get a QB. Heyward didn’t stop them drafting Harmon and Black. Having TJ didn’t stop them drafting Herbig and Sawyer.

I’m not upset with the WR situation this year. You can’t fix everything in an off-season. The priority has been both lines of scrimmage which is smart. Now you look at the WR and DBs this off-season.

It does stop them if Mike returns his preference is veteran starters.
 
On the TEs, after Washington went down, it was time for the 4th TE to step up. That's what a PS TE would have been asked for on any other team.

Lil Heyward had almost no use all season long, except on the new tush push, which any of the b/u rbs or QBs should be able to do.

I do think Tomlin should be fired. I’ve said so. I’m mainly talking about the roster and that is on the rise. These 2 off seasons under Kahn have been great. I’m expecting more good moves.

Nick Siriani is an idiot but the Eagles have the best roster in the game. A bad coach can win with a stacked roster and the Steelers roster building has been excellent the past 2 years. That’s the good news.

Players do get better. Harmon and Black were rookies and Harmon missed a bunch of time. Harmon outplayed the DT the browns took at pick 5. They added Herbid and Sawyer as quality depth guys in the front 7. Benton is a good player if they can get him away from nose. If they draft a good nose type DT then yes, this DL is in great shape.

I think this will be a DB draft for the Steelers.

Steelers may be able to trade Broderick Jones. Look at what Dan Moore got paid. Teams are desperate for OT. Steelers have Cook and Anderson.

Bless you man. Really. But nothing and I mean nothing matters unless and until Tomlin is gone.

Tomlin's not going anywhere. He's still got two records to beat - most consecutive non-losing regular seasons, and go to sole ownership of the record for most consecutive playoff losses.

And for my next predictive statement, the Steelers are NOT going to win Super Bowl LXI.

Jonnu Smith is the most disappointing of the very disappointing Smiths on the Steelers. I'd rather have Jeremy Tuman or the outlaw.

Smith was massively overrated by some ahead of the trade. Last year was an outlier for his stats, he was never an elite receiving TE. I'm not blaming him entirely because what Arthur Smith was asking was a joke.

I want to talk about the game, but it's hard to because things are about to change.
