Juju and Conner?

Duck throws the ball all over the field.

That will help any WR. Rudolph locked in one 1 person.

Duck it says *uck it!

Connor is not missed as much as expected

Jay Sam has been getting stuffed all year on the run. We need JC back....Snell is just starting to come out of his shell but you can never have too many healthy backs this time of year...
 
The offense is better the moment Conner is back on the field. Health is the problem with him, not being soft, not being fumble prone, etc. He's a versatile back that can catch and make people miss in the hole then gain a few extra yards because he runs downhill. He's better than Samuels, Snell, Whyte and Edmunds combined. I'll be happy to have him back in the lineup as part of the running back group.

He's become a better pass blocker as well.
 
One of the best jokes I heard from a Steeler fan: We don't have Conner or JuJu. At least that means the Steelers won't fumble at the end of the game...

Truth hurts sometimes, but it is funny.

Conner was rushed back early with an AC sprain and promptly reinjured it. Bad move there, but he started to practice limited last week, so he's trending to returning within 2 weeks.

JuJu has a knee injury and is not practicing. Plus he also hasn't officially cleared concussion protocol, so there is that as well. It wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't play again this year, but if that was the case, the Steelers would have made a move for someone.

I don't know man. Coach says Kerrith Whyte is the greatest running back that ever lived.

That explains why JuJu has time to drive 102 imperial or metric, yet to be determined.





Salute the nation
 
I read during this past week JuJu did, officially, get pass the concussion protocol. The only thing keeping him out is his knee, which no one seems to have any clue as to what, when or how he hurt it.

He hurt his knee on the dirty hit play from the Clowns.

That is a Bullshit post. He is anything but soft. Injured, sure. I'm not even sure if he has a feature back body. But he sure as **** is not soft. He averages just under 1.2 fumbles per hundred carries. He doesn't have fumble problems. These guys are grabbing and ripping at the ball on 4 out of 5 plays. You are going to fumble.

yes he has fumbling issues but he runs like a power back yard to bring and akways fighting for extras yards similar to mendenhall without the same speed burst mendy had
 
When is the last time the Steelers had a RB that ran away from anyone?

Mendenhall right?

Parker, I don't remember Mendy just flat out running away from people.

He hurt it on that dirty *** helmet to helmet hit at Cleveland.

I doubt we see Conner this week. He said on his show that he's trying to avoid surgery, IMO that means alot of rest.
 
Why not just IR Conner and bring in CJ?

WHY WAIT?

We need him now, and one more hit and he out again, u know it

We should be pilfering more teams practice squads, Cain looked good, nice size and speed, better than our backup smurfs

He's better than Moncrief...

Weird thing is, this team has a surplus of Z receivers:

Washington, Jones, Cain, Holton. We don't have a full time slot on the roster. DJ would be the top IMHO, but he's also our top X, so...

I read an article that the Jets aren't happy w/ Lev Bell - probable offload this off season. I'd be all in to bring him back home - call me crazy but I don't care...
 
Bell has been terrible running the ball this year, for whatever reason. I haven't watched him play at all but I still don't think he's cracked 70 yards rushing in any game this year. That's terrible.

In all fairness, the Jets OL is beyond awful. Barry Sanders would not put up big numbers behind that line. What surprises me is that they don't use Bell more in the passing game on short slants and screens, he is a solid receiver out of the backfield and it would take pressure off of the OL as well.

Id bring him in just to be our full time slot receiver, yeah, hes that good
 
You can't run a business out of Spite. Regardless what anyone thinks, Bell is a good football player that can be used in multiple ways. He isn't a bad team mate, just wants a lot of money. I'd take him back in a heartbeat.
 
One of the dudes at the PG said on his chat today that JuJu will miss this week and possibly next week. Still have no clue what he did to his knee to need to miss 4 weeks especially since he left the field with no apparent knee issue or limp unless I missed it. He could have had arthroscopic surgery and recovered in that time.
