That hit hurt to watch in real time last night.
Bingo. He has an agenda. He just hates Caleb Williams.
Stroud is coachable. He seems to truly pay attention. He listened to his coaches at OSU and quickly peppered open receivers. Then I think he listened to his agent and showcased some things in his final game that the OSU coaches weren't asking for. Now he looks like he's listening to his Houston coaches.
At least he didn't stub his toe
Wilson will keep milking it. No reason he will earn it back if Fields keeps winning
This.
Fields is a great game manager. I don’t think he’s terrible as a QB, but his inability to anticipate on his throws means he won’t ever be anything more than a game manager.
To be fair, chicago hasn’t had a quality coaching staff since Lovie. And we fired him after a 10-6 season. Our front office is horrible.
I can’t remember was he coaching them in the Grossman SB year? That in itself is an accomplishment
Yep. That defense was stacked though. Had Mike Brown and Tommie Harris stayed healthy (Harris looked like Aaron Donald before Aaron Donald until he hurt his knee) they would’ve crushed the colts in the Super Bowl.
Yeah great defense indeed. I believe it was a few years before that when Dilfer was aided by a supreme defense for a SB victory.
I don't think there's any way you can put Russ in unless Fields starts turning the ball over and costs them games their defense is winning. Entirely possible, for sure, but Fields at least gives them a guy that can bust off a couple runs and scare teams with his legs. Russ no longer has that in his arsenal like he did in his early years. Neither guy will consistently win you games passing the ball so the Steelers have to rely on great defense and try to squeak out wins. Not a great formula in the modern NFL but their hands are tied and it just is what it is.
Yeah, for all the talk of how they bolstered the Oline in the off-season, it just looks awful at this point and they don't have the playcaller that can overcome that. The Texans were in Williams' lap in under 2 seconds all night long. Even veteran QBs struggle in that circumstance. Also, they can't run the ball at all. So they can't run block or pass block, bad combination. Long season though and maybe they turn it around but they are probably dreading 2 games vs, the Lions and Hutchinson and 2 games vs. Brian Flores' pressure packages. Over the next few weeks, they get to face some shitty teams that might give them some confidence though so they have that.
Fields has really improved his game when it comes to turning the ball over. It comes at the expense of making plays with his arm though. He needs to see a guy wide open before he throws it so it leads to a lot of holding onto the ball, giving up sacks or turning passing plays into running plays. For defending him, just sit in a zone and force him to beat you with his arm and you'll be able to limit their offense pretty easily, especially at the ends of halves. Anyone can win when the defense is allowing less than 10 points per game. Steelers fans will be frustrated if they've got to score 24+ to win a game, unless it comes on the back of takeaways or big special teams plays.
