No doubt that on O we will need to run it well, use our screen game, don’t let their pass rush get to DTR. I am hopeful that he and Tillman have developed some chemistry the past few months, both being backups. Cedric might be a secret weapon tomorrow. Just calling it now smile .

Limit the turnovers obviously. On Defence, keep doing the usual havoc-raising. Need to not allow their run game to be effective.

I'm very disappointed in Tillman so far. Not sure if he can play or not.


LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

he can play fullback if needed

No way we should lose to Pickett twice in a season regardless of who's the QB, and the steelers defense isn't the defense of old against the run, should be able to run and do some creative short yardage things off PA. I just worry about DTR being about 115 lbs and taking a couple big hits, rest assured, he's going to get smacked a few times

Sounds good. The problem is the Steelers can probably figure that out and gameplan to take away the run. It's not all that hard to for a NFL team to shut down the other teams running game.

We are still going to have to maintain a balance if we hope to run effectively. I just hope we don't open with that swing pass left that seems to get picked on a fairly regular basis at the start of the game.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

Obviously we need our run game working. DTW will have to keep passes short or over the middle, slants, with our TE's more involved as mentioned. DTR is not an accurate deep ball passer. Cooper may run shorter routes.
Once again our D needs to perform well. I think we need two turn overs from them. The things we can control will be penalties. Play smart, no off-side's, false starts, taunting, etc. If we get into 3rd and long because of stupid penalties things will not go well.
To win this game I think DTR will need to use his legs more. He won't be able to stand in that pocket long waiting for someone to get separation. If he see's room to run don't hesitate, just go and slide. He is not a big guy so don't wait for a big DE's arm to get to you. Be quick on your reads and dump it off if needed.

Expecting a hard game but I think we'll get the W as long as we aren't more than -1 in the turnover battle. I don't see Pitsburgh getting the big chunk plays other teams have at times. Hope the Refs don't become the deciding factor.


The more things change the more they stay the same.

I remember more than once we had young QB's with little or no experience start against us and win. Let's hope for once we can do this to someone else but of course we are who we are and we're playing a well-coached team. We've had a few things go our way this year that usually don't maybe it will continue today. fingerscrossed

Excellent point but if they stuff the box and put Moore 1on1 against
A deep crossing pattern I really like that much.
Simple read for the qb with safeties up plus Moore can force there
Dbs to run stride for stride over a 90 yard pattern.
Even if you only hit 1 that changes the complexion of the game.
I if they put 8 in the box try to run njoku up the seem try to keep
The reads simple on hopes that we can get the big play.

he seems pretty lumber-ish .. almost like he could play TE better than WR


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

I think being not sure if he can play or not is the problem. If he is there to be a receiver, then he needs to be given the chance to receiver the ball. I am not seeing where he is getting much chance.

Maybe that is a Stefanski thing. Maybe he just wants 1-2 guys getting the ball and the others to be downfield blockers. The most chances he has had are on fade routes where most of the time the QB lobs it well out of bounds.

When you have a QB like PJ Walker who is scared to death of throwing a pick, he isn't going to toss up a 50/50 ball.

There's also the fact that he is a very physical type of WR. He's not the guy you wait to get wide open to throw him the ball because he doesn't have great speed. He's the type of WR that if he gets a step, throw him the ball and he'll come down with it. I'm sort of glad that we haven't seen Walker or DTR do that because I question their ability to deliver things like the back shoulder throw with accuracy.

As it pertains to watson, with Tillman mailny working with the backups I highly doubt that watson has had the time working with Tillman to build that kind of chemistry.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
