What a difference a good o-line makes 

The difference between having a competent HC

Darnold today

[PleaseCutStewart]

Now it's time for the defense to get their heads out of their asses and make a play

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

Sam is a specimen of a QB, his issue has always just been slow processing and trouble reading defenses.  these issues were exacerbated by constant coaching changes and poo pass protection.

I would roll with Sam Next year. Yeah I said it

BEARDED SAM DARNOLD! He's built different.

Haven't you heard? Beards and/or dreads raises your attributes by 5 points.

[Paa Langfart]

Both DJ and Sam ........... just damn dudes

[Smithers]

Ok defense - let’s adjust and force Mitch into a mistake 

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

Oh yeah and DJ made a hell of a catch with amazing body control and awareness.

[Castavar]

Now let's see if Wilks can make adjustments on the defensive side of the ball

I admit...in real time, it looked like Sam forced a throw into triple-coverage with all that humanity there.

I was like "HOW IN THE HELL DID HE COMPLETE THAT PASS?"

Thank goodness for replay.

That was INSANE.

Steelers have made it known they will let Sam and DJ prove they can make the plays to win. They are putting 1 DB on DJ with some soft zone over the top. Steelers are crashing the running lanes and playing the QB on the way to the run.

The Steelers have left their pass defense vulnerable in the 15 yard range and on the sidelines.

OL must dominate 5 v 7 or Darnold will need to get to the sideline and be accurate underneath the safeties and over the LBs

Yes. Imagine this scenario: Actually putting good coaching and a strong line in front of a young and physically capable QB. 
 

Oh wait, we’re seeing it.
