Yo... Moe

[moe]

Ditto for the Steelers........UGH!

OC needs to go.....

[ms_m]

Good Morning All.

Well the Dolphins won so there's that. Congrats Jerry Oz.

Next few weeks will be stressful but all you can do is ride the wave!

[moe]

Yeah, I guess [I'm giving you a little side eye, Ms M..LOL]

Jerry, Congrats!

[ms_m]

LOL. No problem Moe

[moe]

I have a question for both [Ms M & Jerry].
Devin Bush, who was a former first round pick of the Steelers [they moved up to get him with I think Denver]. Any thoughts about him? While he was great in his first year, I think he has not progressed. Yes, true, he had an ACL last year. But several odd statements on Steelers Twitter, plus [I think] poor performance lately [including last night] made me ask this. Jerry, I'd be very curious to know your brother's views on this.

[Jerry Oz]

Fins and WTFs were the only teams to carry the day [week]. One is 4-7, the other 4-6. Sigh. At this point, winning for Atlanta, Miami and Washington is contrary toward their future success since better records get better draft picks. Rooting for wins almost runs against turning things around in short order. I'm feeling nihilistic today.

Like it or not, the only good teams among our club are Dallas and Pittsburgh. I think both will bounce back strong.

[ms_m]

Don't know much about him Moe, other than what I recently read. Apprently he did really well his rookie and 2nd year but not so well after his injury but still producing.

I was surpised to learn he was the highest drafted player in the Tomlin era cause to me you guys got him at a steal. If the Steelers really don't feel he's living up to his potential by the end of his contract, seems to me they won't pick up his 5th year option and simply cut bait.

[ms_m]

Another thought, you guys tend to be rather financially conservative when it comes to choosing players. That's not a bad thing but maybe paying more for a player than normal can make fans feel they should get 500% from a player. I don't know, just a thought but he's still a kid [[23) I wouldn't write him off yet.

[moe]

Good point, Ms M. The Steelers do tend to be financially conservative [for the exception recently of TJ Watt] but I expected a bit more from him. However, with the ACL injury he may take a bit more time to bounce back. I'm not writing him off. He is not in the category of the most recent Steeler first round bust: Artie Burns.

I have a question for both [Ms M & Jerry].
Devin Bush, who was a former first round pick of the Steelers [they moved up to get him with I think Denver]. Any thoughts about him? While he was great in his first year, I think he has not progressed. Yes, true, he had an ACL last year. But several odd statements on Steelers Twitter, plus [I think] poor performance lately [including last night] made me ask this. Jerry, I'd be very curious to know your brother's views on this.

I'll see him tomorrow and pick his brain. I don't recall him ever criticizing a Steelers player, though. Or Coach. As I said before, I haven't watched many non-Falcons or Dolphins games this season, so I haven't seen the Steelers until the fourth quarter last night. If that was any indication, I'd wonder if the problem was the players or the coaching. The Steelers DBs were badly out of place on the Chargers' last drive. Looked like the DC was caught napping more than the defensive backfield.

And the fact that they got huge sacks while rushing three players on the Steelers last drive was confusing to me. It looked like Steeler offensive linemen were turning away from rushers. Believe me when I say that I've seen every Falcons game this season [and most of Miami's] and between them, they have the worst offensive lines I've seen this century. But I don't recall blockers missing their assignments like the Steelers did on those two sacks. Ever. They didn't even make the Chargers work for it and that's inexcusable.

[Jerry Oz]

BTW: My brother agreed that Devin Bush took a huge fall off from his rookie year. In his opinion, he's playing tentatively because of his injury. It often takes players until their second season to approach their pre-injury performance and maybe that's the case with Bush. The concern that we both share is that sometimes, players can be so cautious that they favor their injured leg too much and wind up hurting the other one. If he can get through the season, I'd expect Bush to bounce back strong in 2022.

[moe]

Jerry, tell your brother that I agree with him. He had some "did Bush really say that" on Twitter. But that had nothing to do with his physical status. I sure hope he returns to his rookie form next year. In Tomlin's press conference yesterday he said Haden, Watt, & Fitzpatrick will play against the Bengals.

[ms_m]

I have a question. Based on Jerry Oz's first post about the TT defense basically being asleep at the wheel, why does it sound like Bush is being picked on, especially if he's coming off an injury? This isn't directed at you Moe because after looking around I've seen several TT fans dog the guy out. I think it's interesting. shrugs

[arr&bee]
