Steelers prediction thread...lay it out there now

Very true.  

 

Wouldn't be a bad game for Shula to load up on two TE sets.  Just based on what I've seen, I think our offensive line can have success at generating a push against their front.  I think the key to offensive success against Pittsburgh is for Shula to get Shazier, Timmons and Polamalu hesistant enough to limit their impacts.  

I like 2 tight end sets because you can run or pass out of them.  But I think that the reason we spread out the defense with 3 wides is to force them to defend the whole field and stop them from loading the box so much.  I agree that Pittsburgh doesn't appear to have the defense they had before because they are getting very little pass rush.  Which honestly would suggest we pass the ball a lot.  There are not many secondaries which can match up with our receivers and most linebackers or safeties can't match up with Olsen.

    • When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.    
    • This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))
