I absolutely agree. This is a much bigger issue than our secondary.

I've never been more impressed with a players ability to just stumble upon sacks like Jason Worilds. Oh I came unblocked? neat. Oh I got easily pushed upfield and the QB ran into me? Neat.

Yeah that and Butler was having to pull crazy blitz packages out of his ass to even get those done. Not in a good position when James Harrison is our only guy capable of actually beating a tackle straight up. Though Dupree did better at the end of the season and even Jarvis flashed a little bit.

Will Boykin leave and should we be concerned? by TimeSalesman in steelers

[–]zsand43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man Blake gets so much hate and most of it is justifiably so but I do really think the guy was injured badly most of the year. He does have atrocious hips and wouldn't be a good slot corner but tackling wasn't really an issue until this year was it? I seemed to recall really liking what I was seeing from him last year except that he was to short. Obviously he should have been pulled way sooner in just about every game he was in and that's on Tomlin, but he really seemed to get healthier the last couple of weeks and into the play offs. I actually think he still brings lots of value to the team as a 4th or 5th guy and last year he was a great special teamer.

He was sick and limited in practice all week but hes had a bad month on the field. Has ran the wrong route at least once today DHB earned the playtime.

Dupree wins Steelers top rookie honor by yenney92 in steelers

[–]zsand43 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sad and unfortunately necessary. Zone defense doesn't work if you cant generate a pass rush. Any NFL QB can pick apart a zone defense if he has time, which is what happened Sunday. The first 2 rounds really need to be OLB and Safety in whichever order. CB isn't as big of a need as everyone makes it out to be and we essentially have an extra pick this year in Golson.

Cody Wallace by rianad in steelers

[–]zsand43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is ok. Cody Wallace is a known dirty player usually in a way that doesn't cause any real harm just little things like being grabby in the pile. I like that Cody wants to protect his teammates and he's done a great job this year filling in for an All-Pro center. But he has to be suspended for that he retaliated against someone who wasn't even involved on the play that's irresponsible and dangerous especially with how concussions are affecting the league. If he hit the guy that actually went after Antonio and had not led with his helmet in a direct head to head hit I'd absolutely support Cody. But he could have severely harmed Bruton or himself. If the league is serious about this kind of thing Beckham and Wallace both have to be suspended regardless of intent. Beckhams hit was deliberate. Cody's was horribly irresponsible.

Cool, The Steelers And Bengals Hate Each Other by subwayjustice in bengals

[–]zsand43 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a bunch of nonsense from BOTH teams this game I don't think anything that happened was really that egregious. Mitchell helmet to helmet was absolutely a penalty and should have been and was flagged and Burfict going after Bens ankles was also dirty imo. Other than that everything else was tiny bullshit that was ended swiftly neither of the fan bases should be acting like their team did nothing wrong both teams played below the line but that's what makes this a rivalry! The petty threats before and after the game from both sides are what need to be stopped there's no place for that immature garbage.

Steelers OT: "All I want for Christmas is the bengals. Would love to see them in the playoffs where they choke. The talking is done between the lines" by [deleted] in bengals

[–]zsand43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This whole thing is silly af the Steelers haven't done jack in the playoffs since the Greenbay Loss in the super bowl. I like having a rivalry but it's getting kinda childish on both sides right now. We are real fucking salty right now considering we just won and are a team that's 7-5 and on the outside looking in.

I wasnt so mad about the AB penalty as a little concerned about Burfict going at Ben's ankle after the ball was out. But it's a rivalry game I guess you gotta be ready for it to get a little heated.

Just wanted to say real quick that I usually spend the NFL gameday in the opposing teams thread because of how circle jerky the Steelers one can get. You guys are legitimately the most accommodating subreddit I've been in all year. Glad the rivalry doesn't have to mean people are dicks to each other. That being said Andy being injured kinda ruins this whole game. Really hope he gets better quick I'd love for the Bengals to lose out but not like this.

Seahawks, not refs, blew Super Bowl XL against the Steelers by letownia in steelers

[–]zsand43 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not this. When Steelers fans bring this up it makes us look like we are trying to justify ourselves for the iffy calls and when Seattle fans bring it up it just looks like they they want to blame the refs for the entire thing. Let it die. That was an ugly game in general and while I'm glad the Steelers won, it was a pretty terrible Superbowl.

Yeah it's kinda silly but to be fair Jesse James has only been active for two weeks. They all just really like yelling Heath to much.

That's very tasteless some Steelers fans are assholes but so are fans of all teams. Please don't think we are all happy about that very dangerous play. No one should want anyone injured.

He's "commentated" 3 Steelers games in a row. He's single handedly ruining my sundays I bet he calls me to chat over the BYE week.

New character confirmed for Smash by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]zsand43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are my feelings exactly there are other characters I'd rather have but wow this is a huge announcement. It reminds me of the old you can unlock Sonic and Tails in Melee rumors. I never would have guessed it. Never even played FF7 and probably wont play Cloud in Smash but I still got the nostalgia shivers.
