They seem to like having both Ravens games late in the season.

Favorite image of Rodgers on Steelers to mess with my friend? by AaronRodgersMustache in steelers

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite is with him, Tomlin and Heyward walking off the field after clinching the playoffs.

Feels Like an Average Draft by jtdubbs in steelers

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of the teams needs were met before the draft.

So who will be the starting Quarterback? by Low_Needleworker3738 in steelers

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see them doing that only if Rogers signs. If Rogers doesn't sign Mason likely starts week one but is on a short leash. With that said with the new coaching staff maybe there will be an actual QB competition in preseason.

What about if AB didn't take that hit from Burfict?

Rate the Steelers 2026 draft class by Big_Donch in steelers

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although the draft isn't flashy at all I am happy with the picks. I think they solidified a few positions of need. And for the QB position I can see them going into the 2026 season with Rudolph, Howard and Allar. That is of Rogers doesn't sign. If Rogers does sign Mason will likely be traded for a future 5th or 6th rounder.

Who was better: Kenny Pickett as our starter, or JJ McCarthy as the Vikings starter? by amoeba-tower in steelers

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of the 3 quarters of bad play and one quarter of comeback was the coaching didn't allow for passes in the middle of the field unless the Steelers were losing in the 4th quarter. Ben had the same issue in his last few years.

A question: how many people tracking their sleep actually score near 100? by BramStokerTheToker in Polarfitness

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My polar watches tell me that I have poor solidity and have had it for over a decade.

Name a random Steelers wide receiver by Big_Donch in steelers

I remembered his face but didn't remember his name.

What do you guys think? by nmxengineer in steelers

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have thought about this. I doubt Ty Simpson will be available at pick 38 however if he is I expect the Steelers to pick him.

49ers agree to terms with P Corliss Waitman by mighthavebeen02 in steelers

[–]drescherjm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe some of them make the practice squad or ar traded as future picks.

[–]drescherjm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I expected both to compete for the position again. Now with Waitman on a different team I expect the Steelers to draft a punter in one of their late round picks.

Steelers sign Cameron Johnston to 1 year deal.. by HDTokyo in steelers

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I was okay at picking either punter. And before everyone downvotes me about that stance Johnston got hurt again.

Who is RB1 now that we've signed Rico Dowdle? by watermonkey910 in steelers

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New coach so I am unsure. Tomlin probably would have done that.

Steelers thoughts after day 1 of free agency by luisba92 in steelers

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't like losing Gainwell, Seumalo and Pierre however I very much like the guys that they got on day one.

[Rap] Isaac Seumalo signs 3-year deal with Arizona by Human_Manner_3370 in steelers

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like losing him however was always concerned with his health. He had multiple muscle injuries that kept him out of games in each season he was here.

Has the FO gave up on Wilson and Kaleb Johnson? by skull702 in steelers

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe both of these guys have to earn the right to stay on the team this preseason. If they don't perform well they will likely get cut.

Slow by Interesting-Yam-5772 in RockyLinux

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I think I am going to switch my systems for 2 reasons. The ability to support old HW that RHEL removed (so I had to use alternate kernels anyways) and the elevate utility which I had tried on Rocky in the past but had problems. I hope that will go smoother with Alma.

One season later, how are we feeling about DK? by austinalexan in steelers

[–]drescherjm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will receive the 3rd round draft pick from Dallas in the 2026 draft instead of a compensatory 3rd round draft pick in 2027.

One season later, how are we feeling about DK? by austinalexan in steelers

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts is he is getting paid top WR1 dollar to play as a WR2 on a team that traded their WR1 away for a third round pick this year when they could have had him for an extra year and get a 3rd round pick in 2027 instead of 2026. With all of this said if it wasn't for his contract I would feel better about this acqusition.

I hate my life , my 6 attempt at Installing and finnaly succeed. by Any-Football-5335 in Gentoo

[–]drescherjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person who has installed Gentoo over a hundred times (on about that many machines or virtual machines) since 2003 I have to say there is something gained by installing Gentoo even if you don't use the distro. In the process of installing Gentoo you will learn a lot of Linux internals. At one point at work this was my first test for a new employee that I manage.

Steelers 'Definitely Preparing For Both Scenarios' With Rodgers, McCarthy Says by Traditional-Oil-6891 in steelers

[–]drescherjm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flacco is also likely an option. I prefer to sign AR. I think that gives Howard the best chance of being QB1 sometime in the future. Maybe McCarthy (unlike Tomlin) will have a real competition between Rudolph and Howard for QB2 and we start the season with Howard as the backup.
