FYI: Per Aaron Wilson, both of the guys who got ragdolled by Brown last night are among the Steelers first cuts.

Probably a stretch to say that's a cause and effect thing, but hey... 😕

They got cut because they are still embedded in the turf from where they got smashed.

You're the OL guy @Mr. Scot why isn't Brown pencilled in as a starter yet?

My guess would be because he's raw and has a lot to learn.

Is he physically dominating? Yep. But if he doesn't know the protection schemes and such, he could wind up being a liability.

Remember Ryan Kalil telling the story about how, halfway through his rookie season, he felt like he had no clue what he was doing and some of the veterans or chuckling about it? And Ryan was a super smart guy.

It's not an easy transition.

I completely understand and get all of this, but I have a question:

Does it really matter if your qb gets sacked because the rookie didn't completely understand the scheme or because the vet just flat out couldn't get it done? Isn't the result pretty much the same? On the other hand isn't the rookie likely to get where he needs to be faster by being out there than by watching from the sidelines? Can anyone actually make a compelling fact based argument not just a purely subjective one, that playing a rookie who doesn't fully grasp the scheme results in more bad outcomes than playing a veteran whom NFL caliber DC's and DL's figure out from film or by the end of the first quarter at worst can be beaten one on one?

I am starting to become increasingly of the opinion that coaches do this not because it's actually the best thing to do for the team overall, but because it's the conventional thinking (which NFL coaches are horrible at following even when the conventional thinking is flat wrong), and because of the perception issue:

If a rookie gives up a sack, fans tend to blame the coach for playing an inexperienced player, wheras if a veteran gives up a sack, fans tend to blame the player for playing poorly, or even the GM for not giving the coach a better option, but are far less likely to blame the coach.  I think this tendency in coaches is actually blame shifting on the part of HC's and OC's and arguably not in the best interest of the team overall.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
