Biggest thought from today

The Steelers looked awful.

They were undisciplined, arrogant, dumb, sloppy and overall just looked as poorly coached as I've seen any Steelers team look in a long, long time.

But still beat us 😖

I’m not surprised. The Panthers are losers to the core. That’s all they are really good at.

That wasn't the impression I got. No doubt, they're in a down year, but watching them, I got the impression that they were so physically dominant and scheme-disciplined that despite their lack of discipline outside of thr Xs and Os, they still won because they were playing with a purpose and for their coach. I couldn't recall the last time we just looked so physically outmatched like we did today. They whooped our ass and punked us all up and down the line on both sides of the ball. They looked like they were twice as strong and twice as fast. They were pushing our biggest, strongest guys back 3-5 yards off the snap every time. It was humiliating.  

 

 

 

And the only thing that can come from is want-to. This line has done that exact thing against teams since Wilks took over, but today they got punked, and I attribute that to them (the Steelers) playing for their coach, and ours just showing up and expecting to win after riding high off the hog coming out of an upset win against Seattle.

 

I also think this is symptomatic of the same old poo we have always struggled with in our franchise history under defensive coaches. I love Wilks, but defensive-minded head coaches just lack the creativity and ingenuity to get out of their own way if their initial plans don't work, especially on the offensive side of the ball. And for us, its like outside of 03 and 15, we just cant ever keep any significant amount of momentum once we get it. We blow our load on one game and then bomb the next one that should be easier. Its so fuging frustrating. We just didn't show up, period.

    • I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.
    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
