What's your worry?

Right now, if I had to rank them, my worries would be as follows:

  1. Strong Safety.  How many years does Roman Harper have left?  Did he already use it up last year?
  2. Peanut Tillman.  Seriously?  Dude is 34...
  3. Offensive Line.  This isn't an Oher/Martin thing so much as a general nervousness that the line as a unit won't be as good as it was late last year.  Although, I think there's a LOT more talent there now.

What's your worry?

1:  WR speed is a huge question mark...Ginn is our best option and as they say, once speed goes, it goes fast, and there's not a lot behind him.

2:  LT.  Oher is also worrying.  I'd say Martin as well, but from what I've read about him, I'm betting Reimmers or our new tackle beat him out.

3:  agreed, safety.  Boston is still too much of an unknown and also agreed on Harper.

4:  pretty much hoping one of the younger cbs outshine Peanut. 

5:  what happens if CJ gets dinged up again or Ealy struggles?

Still OT first and foremost. Martin/Oher were baaaaaddddd last year. Could they do better here with a change of scenery? Sure. Could Williams be a solid starter? Sure. Could Remmers play like he did in the regular season and not the playoffs? Sure. But none of those are guaranteed. Better than last year but still worried about it. If we sign Collins somehow, I'd be more confident in it going forward.

All this OT stuff...  On that unit, it's not the player, it's the UNIT.  Remmers sucked ass until he lined up next to Turner.  Norwell was a UDFA for a reason, but next to Kalil he looks like a stud.  If Oher can gel with the unit, we're set.  Will he?

My worries

 

1) OC / Playcalling - Shula fugging sucks

2) LT - Still have no proven blind side protector

3) Safety positions - Harper is washedup, and I am in no way content with Boston

4) Cam Netwon - will he ever take that next step and seperate himself from being a middle of the pack QB

5) OLB - Shaq has question marks and with TD retiring soon we need someone to stick and step up.

LT - Obvious problem is obvious. I'm hoping there's some huge cut that happens during training camp that we grab up, or, what would be awesome would be if Oher or Martin turned out to be incredible.

Game-Breaking WR Speed - We have none. Ginn is not the speedster he once was, Philly seems to hurt his shoulder/arm a lot (could be due to his size), and KB and Fun are both just behemoths. I'd love to see someone with the speed of DeSean Jackson join our team (even though those only come around once every few years).

Josh Norman - I hope he is for real, and not an aberration.

    • I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place. 
    • Houston's OL sucks but Stroud has also definitely regressed. Similar story to Jayden Daniels in Washington. Both guys looked like future MVPs as rookies but sustaining success in the NFL at QB is hard. The more tape there is on you for opposing DCs to study the harder it gets.
    • So I was curious and remember seeing a tweet but here are Young’s numbers vs Strouds number since that time  Stroud since week 3 2025. Bryce since coming back off the bench and playing in Denver
