reports are Baker is starting Sunday and Chubb could be back

Obviously the Steelers need to shut down the running game, or at least slow it down, enough to put the game in Baker's hands Then they need to pressure him into mistakes

Ben needs to be accurate and hit a few guys across the middle....hopefully someone reminds them that that is legal

Najee needs to continue his improvement and Ben needs to keep getting Freiermuth involved, especially in the red zone
 
Offense needs to be TO free and our defense needs to create a few TOs.
 
They have to try and keep Ben as clean as they can and hopefully hit some 15-20 yard routes, which can open up the running game. They have to control the ball, win time of possession. I just think this team, to be at it's best, has to go back to more of a 90s formula. That alone will make the defense better.
 
I think this is Browns trying to play games.. I'm betting Keenum will be starting on Sunday.
 
Ingram is doubtful so Tuszka will be getting a bunch of reps so that sucks. We need Buggs or another guy in the middle to step up and the coaches need to keep a big guy in the middle during all downs. The Clowns will run up the middle on 3rd and long. We need 3 DL and 2 OLB for pretty much the entire game. But, we all know that will never happen. We'll be lucky to have 2 DL and 2 OLB's.

Yep, that should cover it in my lowly humble opinion.

I'm curious to see several things. This bye week should have helped with a few ailing players. I want to see this sideline to sideline BUSH we've been hearing about. I want to see the healed BANNER hold his position stoutly. I want to see BEN over the middle some but also Freirmuth involvement (No Ebron due to injury).

My biggest curiousity is the coaching game plan and in game adjustments. We have the horses who just need to be helped a little along the way.





Salute the nation
 
The problem is, after Bush pounds away at Chubb a little bit Chubb is gonna get serious and take a good hard run at Bush...then it’s game over
 
Again, I think the DL needs to play their lane and stay home, along with the OLBs. At least cover the RB changing to out wide run.

I think our 2ndary can cover.

Our offense needs over the middle production regardless of who it's from (Freirmuth & claypool, can you hear me !). DJ needs a deep completion or two along with Chase in the same completion range of at least %60 completion range.

Najee will get some tough yards but that DANG-*** play action could help wonders if set up. How about some flat work as well ?

The COACHING plan will be a big need and in-game adjustments right away, not only at the 1/2.



**** the browns and their 2-stepping troll








Salute the nation
 
We need Bush to own Chub like Lambert owned Pruitt.

Keep the **** off my turf.

double up on Myles. dont let him hit Ben. run the ball. utilize Pat. stop the run. and hit the qb. and of course score more points
 
The Clowns look to be getting most players back on O other than Hunt. They'll have 2 very good RB's, OBJ and Landry I believe. Our D will need to be on top of their game and shut down the run without committing too many in the box. Our O needs to score early and keep scoring in the 2nd half. They very well may need 30 to hold off the Clowns.
 
Stope the run and secondary needs to tackling not giving up all the extra yards. Offense where do you start
