It's about time for the following.

It's time for Bell and Pouncy to play all 16 games and into the playoffs. I don't want to hear about how they are not injury prone, about how they were just unlucky. If that's true, then this is the year to prove it. I have had it with those two riding the bench all season long. I don't want to hear it.

It's about time to admit Jarvis Jones and Shark were bad picks. Move on. They aren't going to get any better. Jones is a first round bust, admit it and move on. Stop trying to sell that he is "solid" as Cool Shades claimed last year.

It's time to STOP making coaching decision sans of logic and reason. Going for a 2-point conversion when ALL LOGIC says to take the extra point is mind numbingly retarded. I don't care how much you twirl you head set cord and sport cool shades, end the "coaching from the gut" BS. It's not cute and it's embarrassing.

It's time to stop over-using Bell (when he is actually playing and not hurt). I know, it's cute to mash up huge #s for notoriety and to prove how smart you were in drafting him, but force-feeding him the ball actually hurts our offense. Give him a ton of touches but not at the expense of the overall offense. Also, give D Will more touches, he deserves them and it will HELP prevent Bell from getting hurt again. Again, Bell is super; he deserves tons of touches, but don't "run his legs off" as Cool Shades has bragged about in the past with Willie Parker.

It's time to not give WRs an 8-yard cushion of 3rd and 3.

It's time to get production from a few rookies. Other teams do it, why can't we?

It's time for #7, period.

Can I has some whatever you having POP?


I agree with some points. But football is a physical sport. Pouncey take a beating in the trenches. As for Bell it's hard to say if/when he gets hurt. At his position freak accidents happen. Pittsburgh's system traditionally has been a system where most players can catch on and produce which is why the Steelers always make a post season presence. Some players don't pan out(Jarvis, Shark) bad picks happen. Just move on and try again
 
JeeeeeepPers, I thought with the title of this thread that maybe the verdict was in oin the GREAT t*mmy b*y appeal decision............

In all seriousness

Shamarko has been hugely disappointing, especially the interfering with fair catches on STs as he has not shown what it takes above the neck to play above the line holding the standard to show his pedigree on defensive plays. If he blinks again cut his eyelids off and send him packing.

JJ has been disappointing as well, if he is going to stick this is the year to show it, all signs point to this being unlikely as well.

As far as averaging over 1 pt per extra point conversions go I'm alright with where Cool Shades is at on this, he does need to play the percentages better though when taking advantage of our short yardage offense.

It is time for #7, you got that right on Pop.

HERE WE GO STEELERS!!!
 
Just thankful this wasn't another worthless mock draft thread
 
Dammit, it is time for Bell to play all 16 games! I'm tired of him being on the bench in street clothes.

Pss...Don't overuse him, though.

Mike Webster and Dermontti Dawson each played like 2000 consecutive games without missing one due to injury.

I was responding more to the original post. It seems like there is an inconsistency there. It was stated Bell needs to play 16 games, can't be getting hurt and all. The premise to me there is they need him to play a lot to be successful. Later in the thread it is stated he shouldn't be overused.

Bell nor Pouncey have been hurt due to overuse. It isn't because they aren't dedicated to the game or something. They have just had unfortunate football injuries that are going to happen. POP almost acts as if it is their fault they got hurt.

Tomlin is a gambler type. There are times when you should not go for two.

The 7-8 yard cushions, unfortunately, are a necessity. When you deploy shorter and slower corner on the outside, your defensive game plan is gimped. We finished 30th in pass defense for a reason. If we didn't play 7 backup QB's last season it could have been 31st or even 32nd.

Bell and Pouncey need to stay healthy but that's out of their control. However, they also need to steer clear of off the field and dumb twitter posts, which is in their control.

Shark was a swing and a miss. Jarvis Jones needs to be replaced, and I think can be phased out by a good 1st, oe 2nd round pick. I like Carl Nassib's game and he's got a good chance to be there for us in round two.

If you're not available to play, you aren't worth big $; I don't care who is at fault. Pouncey is being paid huge $ to be in dress clothes every week. That don't cut it. Bell is gonna want huge $ his next deal; he ain't worth it if he can't play. That is all there is to it.

Sorry, its not that simple. The very fact that injury is a part of the game makes these "elite" type players want the big payday due to possibly injured out of the game. He is worth what someone is willing to pay, combined with the injury possibility. It's as simple as that. Do I want to pay for bench time.........HELL no, no one does but its part of the structure of contracts that cause that to happen. I want our BEST players on the field but know I have to pay for them with the possibility of injury, IF THEIR VALUE IS WORTH IT, I'll pay. Now there are exceptions to the rule, take t*mmy b*y, he takes a pay cut because his team sends customers his way. You know he has a supplement company that the cheatriots push their players / coaches / personael to, RIGHT....... He gets a "kick back" from use of his facility / drugs / ect.. Just another way for him / team to push the envelope on cheating the salary cap. t*mmy b*y isn't giving up any pay to better the team.......JUST hidding it better.
