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.

      Injury report

      By CRA · Posted

      Immediately cast blame? We had been talking about the bad throws to Hunter (the missed TDs and hospital ball) for days leading up to that injury report.   And yeah, the rib injury then becomes something to point out.  and you are getting desperate with this projected extremism.  No one  said you should never throw seams.  I shared with you an article after you scoffed at seams being routes you can get hung out to dry on….and it was the best of the best talking about the dangers of those routes.   And they talked about it because they threw them a lot and there dudes were at risk so the throws really matter.  Because you can hurt your receivers.  we disagree, cool.  I got a pro Bryce former NFL QB calling it a hospital ball and bad throw.  So I got a plus +1 making my argument.  Find a QB that backs your take.

      Injury report

      You exclusively highlighted Hunter's name on the injury report and then immediately cast blame. I've pointed out that this wasn't the hospital ball you claim it to be while also acknowledging that there could have been another option to target instead of Renfrow. By everything you've expressed here, you don't think seam routes should ever be thrown. I don't know how that helps the already struggling offense, but I do know that it would make it even worse than it already is. Scapegoating never has and never will solve anything. Tell you what: Try not blaming Bryce or casting shade his way for the entire week after Arizona and instead look at the other 21 starters and assess what they're doing (again, without shading Bryce). I'll join you and refrain from exploring what the rest of the team is doing and will focus solely on what Bryce needs to do better. Deal? This is a sincere peace offering to allow us to explore the other's perspective and perhaps be even more informed football fans.

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By CRA · Posted

      TMac PI throw was a TD too.  Bryce just drastically under threw it.  Renfrow and TMac set themselves up to BOTH have great days.   the story of last of no one was open…..isn’t a defense the Bryce Young defenders can use so far this year
