What's impressing me about this team

We're actually using our weapons effectively and minimizing problem areas. On defense, we're improving the pass rush rapidly, which helps our linebackers and secondary avoid major issues. On offense, we're spreading the ball around with varied routes and targets, making running the ball easier even with average or below-average talent. That's not an easy thing to do. There's still room to improve, but we have a decent core to build around and that's doing a lot to mask the obvious weaknesses.

brady and snow are scheming around player deficiencies to minimize their impact... something ron rivera could never do with his coordinators at their best.

I always feel like if a player was a round peg with Ron that they better turn into a square or it’s not gonna work with him.

Our defenses under McDermott were no slouched and pretty dang good. Now he's a pretty good HC

Matt Rhule is an absolute great head coach. I had reservations but the preparation and game plans are like night and day with Rivera. It’s great. And we got a real one with Joe Brady. We better enjoy him while we’ve got him, because he’s headed for the McVay treatment. 
 

I couldn’t be more impressed with everybody. Kudos. I had serious reservations going into the year and I have firmly been proven wrong.

    • Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023. 
    • To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
    • just ask XL, to date he is has never been wrong about what we are doing w/ our first pick
