Yes. Have you watched any other Steelers games? Rodgers has the quickest time to throw in the NFL this year and lowest average depth of target for any starter, this is who he is and who they are. They do the same thing every week, and the last time they played you guys they did the same thing and Myles had no sacks (his last game with no sacks before this one). They’re on their third string LT going against maybe the best DE season of all time, how else would you have structured an offensive game plan while also being these Steelers, this OC, this QB, without their best WR? Every Steelers person I’ve seen has pushed back on this idea too and says this is who they’ve been all year (which they have).
That game was to make the playoffs, acting like they can clinch a playoff spot but they’re not going to try doing that at the expense of giving up a record is absurd.
With all due respect to Martin Emerson and Marlon Humphrey (and Stephens, and Newsome, and Chidobe, etc)....Joey Porter Jr. has been the best corner in the division so far this year.
A target rate of 11% and a forced incompletion rate of 28% on those targets is pretty nuts.
A lot of people saying Offensive Pass Interference on this...
I don't think you realize how seldom OPI is actually called, and this one almost assuredly wouldn't have been. Knowing when and how to push off is a skill!
@FootballEJ Feel like the money is honestly pretty fair for both sides (maybe overpay by a mil/yr). The Steelers didn’t really have a choice due to them not having a heir apparent. By the way that edges are getting paid, I think this will look VERY favorable near the end of the contract.
With the crazy amount of early down 1-Rat and weak rotated C3 that the Steelers play (for run defense purposes), I kinda feel like Christian Gonzales is their "break glass in case of emergency" pick at 17.
They need guys that can survive on islands more than anything else.
@steelers Absolutely embarrassing to miss out on activating CA3 and not have him play. One of the most frustrating things I have seen as a Steelers fan. DUDE CAN PLAY @FootballEJ@BrettKollmann
