It appeared PJ went into tonight with the edge over Grier. So I guess we will see. He put a lot of balls into people’s hands tonight… think people overheard 89 say he put too much heat on a ball and treated that as the end all be all….and closed their eyes on all the balls hitting guys in two hands. Which Rhule noted in his post game presser.

Wait a couple minutes and you can watch it from the start on their social media page

yeah, I literally just said the stats don’t tell you the story of tonight. The final drive as the half was about to expire vs backups….doesn’t erase the fact the O got handled fairly well by the Steeler backups for almost 2 quarters. The starting OL looks like a massive issue. And that was vs backups. That’s a bad recipe for Sam Darnold to be behind that. Lot of work is needed there IMO.

Outside of the Steeler backups pretty much handling our O pretty well for almost 2 quarters. stats and score don’t really tell the full story tonight IMO.

I honestly think 89 is more sad than funny most of the time. Just a turd. Awesome at playing WR though.

Slye might be gone. But the new guy I don’t think remotely solves the Joey Slye problem.

Hopefully that is stinger and not collarbone

He isn’t terrible tonight. Chains aren’t moving because WRs aren’t catching. Will Grier knows the staff isn’t going to view that as PJ failing.

he just put up 3 consecutive balls that hit guys in the hands…all 3 could of been first down throws. One was little hot but overall that is the WRs not making a play

They have been getting preseason reps though Chemistry and time working beside guys matters on the OL. Brian Burns I think commented about how their is still a speed difference between practice and preseason games.

Being hurt all preseason isn’t helping Reggie. Not sure what his injury really is. Rhule called it chronic issue. Whatever that means.

89 being weird throwing that Richardson line in there. he is out of it IMO

definitely think Rhule errored by keeping this OL out of earlier preseason work. Steeler backups pretty much held the O in check until time nearly expired at the half. I completely forgot when they finally completed a drive that made them look decent….it was against the backup defense.

Marshall Jr is a beast. My favorite pick of this draft.

Finally. Good throw by Darnold.

Everything has been short all night. 89 commented in the first quarter how the D was already figuring out that tendency. it doesn’t matter if it is completed.

Just throw it up deep for Marshall Jr one time.

Rhule should at least play the starting OL. I’m fine with him sitting Darnold and the WRs at this point. OL needs the reps. It all starts there.

Watch Rhule gonna pull them now. D puts it on the 15 and Marshall does all the work to get Sam a TD. Rhule probably will take that offensive victory and call it a night Marshall is a bad dude though. Gonna be good.

It’s still 2nd and 3rd stringers blowing our O up. Vanilla play calling or not. That’s them getting beat on the basics.

89 enjoys people failing I think

These guys needed reps before tonight. OL clearly needs all the work they can get. and these are backups giving our O problems.

Sam’s doing pretty well. But he is playing like they advised he has done all camp. It’s just about 10 yards or less he is looking… would like to see him try to drive it downfield. 89 keeps saying guys are there. run blocking looks worrisome. Would like to see more success up front vs backups.

He found employment with another team. So while horrible…I give the nod to folks who couldn’t even manage that.

as Darin Gannt says.... Cam Newton makes people stupid. Hate or love Gantt, he has never been so on point with anything like he is with that.
