This is not a trick play. Show me a "trick" play in football where the coach is on the field hiding a player. This should be a technical foul.

CB Joey Porter Jr. has allowed three catches on five targets in two games while playing nearly every defensive snap. One catch went for 2 yards. Another went for 7. PFF has him graded 85th out of 98 NFL CBs. And people wonder why I don't consider their grades realistic.

In last 6 weeks, the Steelers added former Pro Bowl guard Trai Turner, former Pro Bowl OLB Melvin Ingram and former Pro Bowl ILB Joe Schobert. Their cost against this year's cap is $10.36 million and they cost the team a sixth-round draft pick in 2022. That's doing pretty well.

So, when Watson is suspended this season -- which is likely -- and the Browns can't trade Mayfield -- likely because everyone know he will be released, the Browns will be paying $36 million or so for QBs ... and starting Case Keenum in their opener. Makes perfect sense.

So, the Steelers have hired another coach. And because people who couldn't name 5 offensive line coaches in the NFL have never heard of him, it's a bad hire. (Checks the calendar). Must be the offseason. God, I hate social media.

If anyone truly believes that NFL coaches would double team the three-time sack leader at half the rate of other top pass rushers, I have a couple of bridges in Pittsburgh to sell you. Not doubling Watt would be coaching malpractice. DT rate stats are flawed.

There is an actual statistic that measures how well pass rushers perform their jobs. It's not called "pass rush win rate." It's called a sack. It's an official statistic in the NFL. Has been since 1982. Pass rush win rate is not an official stat for a reason. Who is tracking it?
