Big tests for the pass D with Rivers and Palmer. I think Tomlin is "obviously," as he would say, right about needing to get pressure with fewer rushers - especially Monday night. <br /><br />I would cut, as usual, Archer, which means it won't happen.<br /><br />Excited about Bryant coming back.<br /><br />Anonymous Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-85217416337387226872015-10-07T12:49:48.455-04:002015-10-07T12:49:48.455-04:00Not sure why you suggest the game plan wasn't ...Not sure why you suggest the game plan wasn't working. The game plan was specifically to limit Flacco, in which they succeeded. And obviously, to limit them in overall scoring, in which they succeeded, as well. Considering how often our offense stalled, and how poorly our punter then did, holding them to 20pts in regulation was very good.Birthday Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12970168143120935172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-79934455080092500762015-10-07T12:43:08.427-04:002015-10-07T12:43:08.427-04:00Dale, it appears Tomlin is also mulling over which...Dale, it appears Tomlin is also mulling over which player to release.

It's scary to think how good they might be if healthy come December. We just all have to hope they keep above .500 until Ben returns, and stay/get healthy for the stretch. It is going to be a very interesting season, but there is no doubt that this team if healthy can play with and beat the leagues best, Here We Go!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874269369640202191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-13918453282481117732015-10-07T11:21:36.343-04:002015-10-07T11:21:36.343-04:00It's something he does with ALL young guys.

I have also wondered about Boykin along with much of Steelers Nation. I admit my questions were pretty much answered with Cockrell and Blake the other night. Cockrell was a revelation and Blake really brings the wood (reminds me of the old days a little bit). If those two can stay healthy and keep growing, then more power to them and all the better for the D. The defense is looking far better at this point than I would have ever guessed when camp opened. Credit goes where credit due.<br /><br />Thanks again Dale.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11029542072755465769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-3245030358490385632015-10-06T18:24:19.004-04:002015-10-06T18:24:19.004-04:00Ross Cockrell has simply been a revelation.Ross Cockrell has simply been a revelation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-56156630392126812842015-10-06T17:58:06.845-04:002015-10-06T17:58:06.845-04:00"We probably exposed ourselves to a little mo...
