ProfD Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Half of Fox's scoreboard was onscreen and half was off. In other words, I could always see at a glance how many points Denver had scored but not Pittsburgh. Same here. I couldn't understand how/why they didn't get that right. Especially after touting the wide-screen view. I'm not going to let them dictate when I buy another TV. PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

meccajay Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Dixon needs more reps on the field. You can only learn so much watching. However, I agree that the Steelers need to put Byron in as the starter. Its his job to lose. Mike T. I had no idea Batch was still playing. Thought he'd retired. Seems he knows the Steelers system better than anyone. Both he and Byron are incapable of escaping the rush, so it may not last 4 games no matter which direction they go in if they don't do better at the O-Tackle spot. On the other hand Goodell may just cut Big Ben's suspension from 6 games down to 2-3 games instead of 4. TROLL . . . ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT156 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Its too bad that Charlie Batch gets hurt as much as he has in the past. Otherwise, we might have seen more of him. Charlie knows the system well, and when he does play he gets the job done. I thought it was quite fitting that Roethlisberger got booed when he came on the field last night. He is fortunate he didn't go to jail. Slime ball. To top things off last night, the Steelers stunk up the joint. Interceptions, receivers running the wrong routes, personal foul penalties. The stink was big enough that I could smell it all the way from Denver. Mike T.

The stink was big enough that I could smell it all the way from Denver. Mike T. Don't feel bad bro.. There are only about 5 teams that are playing like they're in sync offensively right now from what I've seen. That means that 27 teams are not running plays crisply, have excessive O-line penalties, have recievers that aren't making the catch, have QB's throwing the ball into coverage, and aren't scoring points in the red zone. My teams are amoung those too! Here in Atlanta for example, the Falcons have had just 1 TD(7 points total) scored out of 13 total drives run by the 1st team offense.. Pathetic!! TROLL . . . ish.

MikeT156 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 There's been a lot of grumbling in Pittsburgh about how coach Mike Tomlin is handling the QB rotation. He plans on starting Roethlisberger against Carolina this week. That is a waste of time. Tomlin needs to put Bryon Leftwich in as the starter so he gets some snaps with the first team and doesn't get killed playing behind the second team OL as he did in Denver. Roethlisberger will get some practice time before he returns to the field after his suspension is over. I agree that Tomlin should give Dixon more snaps, that's the only way he's going to get better. However, Tomlin's search for "clarity" at the QB position is not very clear. Mike T.

ProfD Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Maybe Tomlin knows Ben's suspension will be significantly reduced. Otherwise, I agree that Leftwich and Dixon should be getting most of the snaps with the 1s in preparation for the first 2 regular season games at the very least. The real question is whether or not the Steelers O-line can be corrected to protect their QB. PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

MikeT156 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 The Offensive line has been.....well.....offensive. It has been a problem for a number of years. Roethlisberger is a big guy and has been able to complete passes with bodies draped around his legs. Not your average sized NFL QB. Otherwise, the Steelers line would have been more of a factor in the last couple of years. Some of the veterans were declining over the last 5 or 6 seasons, and as the Steelers try to find players to replace them, the debacle continues. Edit: Peter King from CNNSI has picked the Steelers to win the SB this season. We're in a heap of trouble now! Mike T.

richwhite9 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 College Ball today! The drought is over. UConn visits Michigan today 3:30 EST. Huge game for us as we are new to FBS Football (Opening the 7th Season in the Big East). Coach Rodriguez never lost to UConn at West Virginia. We are hoping to give Rich Rod the same send off we gave Charlie Weiss last year in a win that pretty much sealed Charlie's fate at Notre Dame. Sagarin favors UConn by .24 points. Yes. .24 Official line is -3 (-2.5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakari lindhen Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Sporting News had been predictin that Houzh would be released for a few days - they like Mike Williams, so H. would only have been a number three or four - and gets paid far too much for that... but he will hook up with someone, he had too many catches last year to just forget about... But wil Leinart find a gig that would allow him to compete to be a starter? Not likely, not soon....

GovernorSilver Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 When even Charlie Whitehurst, who has zero NFL passes on record, was considered more desirable as trade bait than Leinart, what did that say about Leinart's trade value? Some Charger fans are complaining about trading for Crayton instead of TJ Hoosh but that wasn't going to happen due to TJ's salary. They forget that Seattle actually inquired about trading for SD's V. Jackson - they must have though VJ would be cheaper than TJ. If VJ had stayed DUI-free and played out his contract with another great NFL season, he would have had a better chance of landing a respectable long term contract in SD. Oh well. The Rams are once again reportedly inquiring about a trade to give Bradford another weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Grace Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 Javon Walker only lasted two weeks in Minnesota I'm sorry to hear that. I would have enjoyed seeing Favre pass to him, if only for nostalgic value. I Googled Javon to see what happened. Here's what I found: Vikings released WR Javon Walker. Walker showed well in the preseason with a pair of touchdowns and over 100 combined yards in two games, so he might have put enough on tape to get another team to bite. Unfortunately for him, the Vikings deemed Greg Camarillo a superior option in the possession role they'd been seeking to upgrade. Minnesota will keep just four receivers on the roster, confirming the medical staff's confidence that Percy Harvin's migraines will not recur.

kanker. Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Ranking the coaches I expect Singletary to rise. Any comments on the rankings, in general? Jeff Fisher #3?!?!?! You've gotta be kidding me. He's marginal at best. He may have held his job a long time, but in 16 years he's had 1 Super Bowl appearance, only 6 playoff berths, and a sub .500 playoff record. Honestly, and as much as I hate to say it, after #1 among active coaches, there's not a lot of clear cut guys from #2 on, but regardless there's no way in hell Fisher is top 10.
