Cleats Off

Football conversations & pin-point predictions...maybe... - no "expert" tag required.

An "Average Joe" and "Man of the Couch" talking football, life, & more.

Imagine if we saw a Steelers vs Packers Super Bowl next year.

McCarthy/Rodgers get a win from both sides against the other team. Would have to be a first.

How are yinzers supposed to get sleep after that one @PatMcAfeeShow

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

The amount of times in modern football that teams go for 4th and short from the shotgun or with a toss or pitch is crazy.

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

23 sacks in 17 games is crazy…but is it as worthy of “record-breaking” celebration to 22.5 with Michael Strahan in 16 or TJ Watt in 15?

Or Jared Allen with his 22/23 sacks in 16?

Again, 23 in 17 games is still crazy. But it’s like breaking a passing record with extra games…

Pretty soon you’ll have to finish the entire NFL season before you can drop the ball in the endzone.

“The process of the catch” is the NFLs travelling situation the NBA doesn’t address.

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

Derrick Harmon inactive vs the Ravens?

Expecting some heavy rush success by Baltimore…

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

Some of the worst coaching of a great roster I’ve ever seen.

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

A comparison for Steelers fans:

After winning 4 Super Bowls, Chuck Noll was 77-75 in the 80s with a 2-4 playoff record.

After making 3 Super Bowls, Mike Tomlin is 108-66 with a 3-9 playoff record.

Chuck Noll chose to retire. And you think Pittsburgh has any plan to “move on”?

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

I'd kbe interested in seeing the stats of plays where a ball is deflected by a timed jump and swat when a QB pats the football pre-throw...

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

Is it me or does Sanders’ throw motion kinda remind me of… Tebow?

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

All this stuff about “will the Giants trade with the Steelers for Mike Tomlin? This is such a realistic scenario!”

No it’s not. The Steelers are NOT trading Mike Tomlin.

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

Are they ever going to penalize an Offensive player for being dumb and dropping their head to the shoulder of an incoming defender? Don’t be dumber and risk your health. But it definitely should not go against the defender.

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

Is it me or does this defensive gameplan look EXACTLY the same as the game against the Bengals? The Colts just don’t have a Ja’Mar Chase… #steelers

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

Is Teryl Austin fired yet? Or are we waiting for Week 12 like with Matt Canada? #steelers

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

How many more times is Collinsworth gonna talk about how the Steelers brought in guys to play a certain way on Defense? It's been like 6 already...

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

Coaching. Coaching. Coaching.

18 seasons and still can’t figure out prep for TNF away games?

Pittsburghs defense needs to stop being so bland with the rush.

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

WHY SO SOFT DEFENSE!

Tighten up, give some false edge rush drop backs for under cover with different DL stunts and fill blitzes from some inside LBs. Let’s mix it up!

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

Nothing I hate more than watching a LB stare down a QB when in Zone coverage. Head on a swivel, see the split TE/slot slant/drag to your zone.

Thats on Queen IMO.

Second tweet that was on the money tonight 🧐

[Cleats Off @cleatsofftheC]

Pittsburgh: you HAVE to hit a post or seam at some point! The short stuff and the outside aren’t going to work here.
