I mean, sure, T.J. Watt has 4 sacks, but wait till you see Myles Garrett’s PFF score.

You know what Ben Roethlisberger has done to the Steelers?
Made it so a 12-4 season with a first round exit feels like a huge failure. Most teams are hoping to get there. People can trash the man all they want, only one franchise has more Super Bowl wins with one QB since 2004.

The Steelers have swapped Tyson Alualu for Isaiahh Loudermilk, T.J. Watt for Jamir Jones and Alex Highsmith for Derrek Tuszka.
Can't for the life of me figure out why Joe Burrow had all that time in the pocket though. . .

George Pickens is the same dude that did this while on a 2-6 team a year ago.

So Kevin Stefanski had the best defense in the NFL, the DPOY, the CPOY at QB. . .
Went .500 in the division and lost by the largest margin of this year's playoffs to a rookie QB.

These routes have been beating the Steelers defense a lot this preseason.
Joe Haden steps on the field and solves it.
Also, if that ball is on target it's an interception. Perfectly timed by Haden.

The people who want to give up on Kenny 1.5 seasons in and say we made a mistake trading Dobbs. . .
This is Josh Dobbs' 7th season.
You wanted the Steelers to wait 7 years for Dobbs to develop, but don't want to wait even three years for Kenny?
Go back, watch Dobbs in 2020.

Bengals drives, yards gained.
3, 8, 4, 35, 38, 26, 5, -2(EoH), 2, 3, 3, 80, 16, 9.
That's 8 drives under 10 yards gained, and 1 drive gained more than 40.
That's this defense, they give up one long TD drive a game, and then give up points when the other team has a short field.

If T.J. Watt breaks the single season record and the Steelers beat the Ravens, Watt is not the DPOY.

Week 2 of 2018, Steelers approach to Mahomes was keep him in the pocket, and take away Tyreke Hill.
They did it. They trapped him in the pocket and they shut Hill down.
Mahomes threw for 328 and 6 TDs that day.
He was overrated for a hot minute, but not by much, he's elite.

This, to me, shows the value of the culture and coaching of the Steelers.
This Steelers team isn't underachieving, they are a bad team that is finding ways to win when they really shouldn't.
Meanwhile, in a universe not too far from our own, here are the current NFL standings if every single one-score game had the opposite result.

Defense did what no other team has to that Chiefs squad.
First 5 drives they didn't just hold the Chiefs scoreless, they scored themselves to lead 7-0.
Meanwhile the offense spent their first 8 drives gaining a total of 0 points, 32 yards and converting 2 first downs.

If this is right, consider that the 2022 cap hit for Cam Heyward and Stephon Tuitt combined will be $29.8 million.
Is paying any non-QB that much a smart move for your roster? We already let Hilton and Nelson go. How many more?
Inside sources tell me that the Pittsburgh Steelers are currently working on a four year 29 million dollar per year contract with TJ Watt. The 29 million dollar figure would make TJ Watt the highest paid edge rusher in the NFL

From the end of the 2022 season to now we have seen Kenny Pickett:
1. Regress.
2. Lose confidence in his line.
3. Lose confidence in the offense.
4. Lose confidence in himself.
5. Forget how to play football.
He looks like a 2000's Browns 1st round QB right now.

Titans will score on the Steelers D, the real advantage in this game should be the Steelers offense against the Titans defense.

4.6 with nuanced route running beats the crap out of 4.3 who can't keep the CB's hands off him.
And really, when they show those overlapping 40 film, the gap between a 4.3 and 4.6 is like an arm length after running in a straight line for 40 yards.
That's not that big a deal.
