Newsflash.  Details at 11.

I think Canales is going to really work on developing Mingo, maybe Marshall too.  Maybe they will be better fits now.

People get on Mingo like he was a bust, but in this offense, he had over 400 yards as a rookie--now, those are TE numbers, but he had a catch in every game, I believe.

Why are you wasting a LB in coverage? We don't have any TEs. Blitz that guy!

You really didn't even need to blitz. Just run some type of stunt. Doesn't matter which. And the entire oline was confused to the point of them drooling all over themselves. That's coaching gents. 100%.

Those are not serious people. And also we need some consistency in this fanbase. Mingo is no more a bust than Bryce Young until we see both of them with our new staff and a different team around them.

TMJ is done IMO.  I don’t view Canales as water into wine coach.  He simply walked into a team that had featured a good WR duo for some time and had vet QB play.   We need to move on.  Our WR corp can’t be the same plus Diontae. 

Hope Mingo is putting in a lot of work.  Got to think a new offense in year 2 isn’t going to be ideal for him to make huge strides in year 2.  He starts over to a degree.    Like Theilen, Mingo was a bit force feed.  While his numbers aren’t great I think both Mingo and Theilen looked better on the stat sheet than they actually did on the field last year

I have many good friends and family from the Pittsburgh area but have never heard “yinz” before…

…what in the actual fug.  🙃

i have a lot of family from up there as well, but i grew up hearing it when i went up there. they were all country folk who didn't live near any big cities at all so that might be it. i've actually heard that some in a couple counties in NC and some in VA as well. very rare, though. up there i head it a lot.

Cutting TMarsh saves $1.4M - probably gonna happen IMO since he is basically the 4th or 5th WR at this point with the draft coming up.

But look at the draft flexibility this gives us now - yes we would all love to draft the next JJ or Chase with pick 33 or 39, but with Diontae and Mingo you don't feel nearly the pressure to use those 2 picks on a WR.  I said before I would love to see Ja'Tavion Sanders and Chop Robinson at those 2 spots.....then 65 we go for a WR maybe - should be plenty of possibilities better than Marshall and cheaper.

Some fun tidbits from Steelers fans on another site I frequent:

Quote

Dionte Johnson is no longer Pittsburgh's problem

Quote

Watch D Johnson actually want to play now

Quote


I won't be the least bit surprised if he goes full "Antonio Clown" and tries to get cut in training camp once he realizes the dumpster he was just tossed in is on fire.

Quote
 

If history is any indicator, these guys are always way worse once they leave Pittsburgh, both in performance and attitude

Quote

I am not going to miss him and not sure why he was every getting paid so much.

Quote

When he did hold onto the ball, his YAC's were fantastic. Problem was that he only had one season where he could actually do that - ever since then he drops at least 50% of the balls coming his way. Add being a diva to that, and it's a one way ticket out of town

 

Quote

when he was on a roll... bam, he pulls a hammy or something

      TMac to finish up Feels good after pads came on. Physicality is a little different, playstyle is a little different. Refs let the players play, so he has to earn his stripes to get calls and just has to be better playing through contact. Focusing on staying confident and listening to coaches. Not much has changed for him, still trying to be his authentic self. Was asked about boxing practice he was seen doing. He's done that since he was a kid because his dad was a boxer and taught his siblings. Was the youngest and got beat up the most, but now he's the fourth of sixth children. Boxing helps with his cardio and being reactive with his hands to the ball + DB. Admits to struggling the first couple of days, hats off to the DB corps for making him better every single day but had his best day on Wednesday. Even the best get got. Just have to remain confident in preparation and abilities. Confidence will take you only so far, and that's where his resilience plays a factor. XL is authentic and great to have in the room. Can rely on him to be the same guy every day. They make each other better. Everybody feeds off of each other and when one person wins they all win. Happy to be a part of the receiver room. Was asked about how he was laughing harder than everybody else at XL getting his feet in the water off the back of the boat: "Man he needs to be stopped bro... He can't be serious but he was serious. It's all good." Playing against the increased amount of press he's facing in practice is helping him get more physical. His job is to catch the ball, so if it touches his hand he has to come down with it. Only catches with one hand if he needs to, but that gives the QB a bigger catch radius. Had a pregame routine where he did a 360 one-handed catch, but doesn't do it anymore. Working on being a pro: Getting into the facility early and getting treatment, eating better, etc. Just wants to win re: rookie goals. Anything he can do to help the team win. "I'm looking for to the season man and keep pounding."

      DJ Wonnum up next Felt the defense came out ready to work at all levels and took over practice. New standard around here. Young guys have to know they're coming in to work. Last year was not the standard. Nic and Princely are fun. Different personalities but loves what they bring to the room. Sky is the limit for them. Nic sits next to Wonnum, Princeley sits next to Jones II. Allows them to be better mentors. Feels great and ready to go Incoom's athleticism allows him to bend and get low even to compensate for not being the biggest guy. Can set the edge. EDGE guys are helped when the ILBs can get home because it allows them to be a little more free while still in scheme. DB being back means his dominance is back. Can set the edge from the 3 or wherever he's at to make the runs bounce to the EDGE guys. Winning mentality and standard this year. Championship level from practice to how you live off of the field. Accept greatness and excellence with guys wanting to come to work every day. Not settling for anything less. Been in guys' shoes that are fighting for roster spots so he knows how to address them. Remembers not knowing what's next, especially as a rookie. Have a clear mind and ask the older guys a lot of questions. Has a good relationship already with Pat Jones II due to knowing each other and talking football all of the time. Can make hand gestures and know immediately what to adjust. Taking care of his body and excited to start the season. Getting it acclimated to football again by being able to tackle and bring players to the ground. Didn't know they were playing live tomorrow. Don't tell me it'll be "thud." Browns next week will allow them to hit somebody else and get a feel of what a different team is doing. Also allows the team to see where they're at on offense and defense. Ready to play football. Not worried about the QB matchup for Cleveland, going to play hard regardless of who is back there.
