Biggest killer right now is the secondary's communication with each other. There is NO reason why guys should be throwing their hands up at the end of a play, wondering what went wrong. It's simply inexcusable. Also, the scheming of the secondary isn't helping at all. There is also NO reason that Mink should be 30 yards back from the line of scrimmage. Sutton is messing up plays. People don't know there assignments. This whole defense has been a mess as of late. Can't expect the offense to do any good when the defense plays like that. They have to fix it. And they have to fix it quickly.
@ yes Wilson experience does but for the long haul fields should remain with the team and signed for extension! With the way things are now I think fields would bring new energy and a spark Wilson has reached his peak with this offense

The Steelers have a very young offensive line but if they don't start stepping up and protect the quarterback open up a gaps for the money backs. They aren't going nowhere. One good thing they are young
I never understood as to why the coaching staff benched Beanie Bishop. Another thing is Minkah. Yes Minkah prevents the deep ball, BUT what about the plays that developed right in front of him? Deshon Elliott CAME IN making plays... Minkah just sits back there. Steelers are paying Minkah too much for him to be giving up touchdowns. At least Troy gave us two titles for what the Steelers was paying him... Minkah Fitzpatrick not doin a damn thing...
You're just wrong. FS & SS are considerably different positions. Plus, you contradicted yourself: keeping a lid on things isn't "nothing" 2 words: Sean Davis. Brady threw over their heads 3-4x in that opener vs NE in '19. They acquire Minkah and aside from a leak here & there - it hasn't been a problem at all. Also, when Minkah was a game changer, they were the heaviest man cover teams in the league. Tons of C1 w/Haden, Nelson, & Hilton. They've had 1 man quality corner over last 2 years. I think you're gonna see Porter & Trice start the playoff game + a ton of man coverage. If Minkah isn't impactful in that scenario, I will come back and apologize. There's a lot of egregious issues with this team - I don't think Minkah is in the top 15.
At this time of the year the cream Rises to the crop and plays their ass off. In Pittsburgh they're going in the wrong direction and they are wilting under the pressure
Disagree with Jack Sperry Pittsburgh Steelers takes on today’s show? Let him know by interacting with him on X & Instagram: X: x.com/jack_sperry Instagram: instagram.com/sperdog.football/
The NFL favors offendes and especially QBs. Defense is an old way of winning games. Offenses score points and defense slows down the other team from scoring or stops it completely
finally. You guys are talking the truth. I been listening here for 3 months and you are always talking "good" on the Steelers. I'm thinking, I want to watch those Steelers you are watching. The Steelers over here in my world have been Doomed and (In trouble bad). But they still have hope. At least they "could" have hope. If they still want it. But, I think they must like it where they are. Else, why would they have went there.
If they get to play the Texans, then they have a chance to win a playoff game. Otherwise... Baltimore or Buffalo will produce another One and Done for Coach Tomlin
The int in the end zone was not russels fault. Pat f was open but the pass was intercepted because the safety came over. If gp doesn't quit on his route it 7 and not an int. Tomlin can't get him to play the right wAy.
Wish I felt different as a fan but we’ll Loose to the red hot bengals. Won’t be able to handle or contain their offense. Our D is top 5 during beginning / middle of season but when push comes to shove and shit gets real come playoff push they don’t show up to play. No physicality what so ever, no communication and secondary is Swiss cheese. Superstar pass rushers but can’t scheme up a game plan to create pressure, get sacks or create turnovers. We’ll end up 6 seed playing in Baltimore and get bounced out 1st round. 7 straight years we have dropped 3 straight games towards the end and this year 90% chance it’ll be 4 going into playoffs. No shot you drop 4 straight and go into the playoffs w any momentum to get a win. The real standard is being relevant til shit gets real,Fumbling the division every chance possible then becoming irrelevant when it matters. I swear, Tomlin and TA do enough to get a winning record then pack it up, throw everything out the window and go on vacation. Arthur Smith isn’t doing his job scheming up effective game plans either. He’s to predictable. All this talk about bringing Russ back is a joke. Saves his worst games, mistakes and turnovers for the big moments. Whatever Russ magic there was 5 weeks ago is gone. Tomlin and the Steelers organization live in their fears to much. That is why nothing changes and all the talent we have and big name guys who deserved playoff wins over the years and a legit chance to win a Super Bowl haven’t and won’t. It’s ashame.
If we do put cory at 2 then put donte in the slot as lurker and he'll guard whoever in the slot when he needs to, but if we have him lurking as a zone defender watching the qb would be nasty
IMO, all THIS - is caused by the Steelers' CONSISTENTLY INEPT offense that can't play "complementary football" with all the extra possessions that the defense gives them to save their lives. The offense can't consistently make 1st downs, can't consistently sustain drives, and can't consistently score when they really need to. That leaves the defense on the field too long (yet another year of having to play "hero-ball") - which makes them tired as the game goes on and unable to get off the field when they really need to - which also makes the D very prone to injuries as the weeks pass by. This is all on the O, IMO - year in and year out......
Look, I like Cam S., but if he's missing his assignments, honestly I have really enjoyed beanie Bishop over the past several games. Obviously this is one area I believe you are correct. For the most part though you speak too much correction from statistics, not the stats themselves. There is a "feel" for the game you can do more to speak from. Obviously our defense will have the rest they needed after the steamroller three games. I [do not] feel sorry for the next team we play because hurt locker is coming. That's the feeling for the game I have. Because of this our offensive line also needs to be on their toes after the game starts because retribution usually happens. When we hit hard they will hit hard too. Other than that we need to use trice what's the name Troy? I wish we could have Joey Porter back, because that's the only reason we lose the game. I think that Russell Wilson and Jorge will be back on track, but I do believe we need to trade him and get Garrett Wilson in there as far as the two players speaking their mind they should shut up. These men are paid millions of dollars and should be working towards team cohesiveness. They should be deferring to the representative of the team that matters their quarterback, Alpha. It's inappropriate and unprofessional. I don't want to pay somebody millions of dollars to be emotionally weak as a teammate.
If the Steelers can start scoring more in the first quarter to get a great start, then they have a chance because all season long it’s been real slow starts in the first half and then it’s gangbusters in the second half we can’t do that against good playoff teams. Also have to cut down on the turnovers and then they have a chance to make it to the divisional round of the playoffs. Here we go Steelers, here we go! 🏈🏟️👍👌👏👏👏😎🇺🇸🫡
The have no up front blocking to help Najee Harris; he seems to always be running into his own players. Jaylen Warren knows how to hit those holes and find a way to make yards. I definitely agree about the communication and blown coverages. We have no wide receivers that get yards and make plays. Where’s Antonio Brown when you need him. We need way more than just Pickens. Freirmuth needs to be better utilized (he’s also gotta hold onto the ball). The last thing, Steelers aren’t planning things well; we gotta do our homework on the opposing players/team and adjust accordingly. Those are my thoughts,anyways
One and done they can't beat good quality teams,and don't even say the super bowl thing. They have at least 2 or 3 years to go if they build the team right. Have a happy new year.
1. Fittipaldo said that Tomlin is calling the defensive plays. 😢. Look ..something is happening to Watt. If he is not causing a fumble at our 10 then the defensive sucks. In other words, if players are not making star plays, they get burned. Get rid of Tomlin. He can't coach
The Steelers are FINE!...We're going to wind up going to Baltimore for our first playoff game and our defense will put Lamar and the Ravens in their place!
The offensive scheme doesn’t fit the personel . Tackles are average so the QB needs plays that develop fast. Quick slants,quick screens . Establish that first then the running game.
Wilson holds the ball because when the pocket collapses, he can’t see down field because he’s to short. That’s why he rolls out to throw a lot. If he loses his legs with age he will be useless. At times you see him struggling with his ability to move and he is getting careless with the football trying to make a football move. I don’t think it’s wise to sign him another 3 years. At least what I’m seeing. Give Fields a couple years. But draft a guy to develop just in case it doesn’t work out with Fields. But don’t put all your eggs in one basket with Fields.
I mean really; you cant start slow and waist 1st and 2nd quarter u have to play tough all 4 qrts, if this offense doesn't start playing fundamental football this team will never win a game. The defense can get u stops but if u cant move the ball on offense and generate 1st downs u cant compete. 🤷♂️ PS. DJ cant tackle in 3rd down crunch situations; hes a problem!
You okay with the players that got you 10-3. since Sutton came back things have been bad. Get Beanie back in the field. Everything will be fine. Grow a set of balls and fight back.
Who should be CB2 in the playoffs? Type 'DJ' for Donte Jackson, or 'CT' for Cory Trice Jr.

Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting offensive line PFF grades and positional ranks:
- Dan Moore Jr. (Grade: 69.8 | RANK: 40th/78 OT)
- Isaac Seumalo (Grade: 67.3 | RANK: 27th/74 G)

- Mason McCormick (Grade: 57.1 | RANK: 56th/74 G)
- Broderick Jones (Grade: 59.1 | RANK: 64th/78 OT)
Mike Tomlin exists and he hasnt fixed time management, his coaching staff, challeges, or accountability. Theres only 1 problem
I like Corey. He has good speed. He's young and he has a lot of room to learn
True

Tú crees que Tomlin va arreglar este cochi nero
Cam Sutton needs to run from the Steelers like he did the police
If you're optimistic about the future of the Pittsburgh Steelers, CLICK THAT THUMBS UP ICON!
The next five things the Steelers need to fix are not losing the next five games.
Facts
Cory Trice needs to be CB 2 for sure!
He can't stay healthy
I agree. Benny, Bishop has been pretty decent all season. Let him play
The problem is why is the pocket constantly collapsing? Give Russell time to look for receivers
Hit that notifications bell if you love the Steelers and want wall-to-wall coverage on the Black and Gold all year long!
Chargers fans hoping for that 5th seed ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Fields over Wilson
Warren over Naji
Beanie over Sutton
Fields has NEVER played a playoff game. Russ however has won a Superbowl
Wilson's experience and leadership put him well above Fields. I agree with the other 2.
Najee>Warren Anos Russell>fields but beanie way over Sutton
@ yes Wilson experience does but for the long haul fields should remain with the team and signed for extension! With the way things are now I think fields would bring new energy and a spark Wilson has reached his peak with this offense
Field over Russ really really really you ain’t know shit

Watch Minnesota How they use Jefferson Steelers could be the same way quick slants screens quick hits with the Ball he would be Beast
@ yeah but idk if Arthur smith does that in his play style
I always thought Corry Trice could be a lockdown corner if he can stay healthy.

Yep
Honestly they’ve struggled the last 3 games because they’ve played them all in 10 days. And injuries have been a factor in all of those 3 games.
Will the Steelers win a playoff game this year? Yes or No?
yes if we face texans
I agree if we face Texans , then Yes
Yes
@marcderogatis8513 These days off they can get healthier and Coaches makes changes with scheme and personnel
No. CJ will have extra motivation against Pittsburgh because of what was done with Justin.
Yes we can!

Steelers 2020 Cleveland Browns playoff game lost zero wins in the playoffs in a decade.
Then their finnished. They may fix two, three. But its to late for 5.
When we play good passing teams we play too much zone. Andy Reid makes the steelers zone look like a strainer trying to hold water
That's what I'm the chiefs offense struggles against man defense we should have been playing man coverage instead
CT against Bengals. If he does well, he stays the starter.
I still roll with Jackson all day. He has been Solid, and he will bounce back.
NO! The Pittsburgh Steelers will be a first round exit via blowout! I'm calling at least by two possessions, you saw it here first!
Yes
If they get to play the Texans, then they have a chance to win a playoff game. Otherwise... Baltimore or Buffalo will produce another One and Done for Coach Tomlin

Every year it’s the same old same old- need to shore up the OL, but it never happens 🤬🤬🤬

When your opponent scores 20 plus points and your offense can't score more than 10 you lose

Yes!

2. Dumb personal groups
3. Bad oline coach

We were taking the ball away but we can’t score

Boy that Mike Williams trade is really paying off huh?
CP
A Lombardi this year is not possible
Who are you kidding the Steelers defense sucks ass
We Need To Be 100% Healthy In The Playoffs And Russell Wilson Needs To Get Hot !!!!!
Trade Pickens for trade picks,he doesn't wanna be there, and he shows it.
Yes win one and superbowl
Wilson holds the ball because when the pocket collapses, he can’t see down field because he’s to short. That’s why he rolls out to throw a lot. If he loses his legs with age he will be useless.

the o-line is not good enough for a super bowl, not even close. Zach is legit, the rest is up for question
Tomlin has to stop getting Personnel wrong. He always does this.
Cory Trice ALL THE WAY!!
I’m Steelers fan 4life ride or die
O - LINE has been horrible.
Pretty sad that the Lions could be a #5 seed! That’s bs!
We are doomed no matter what with Mike Tomlin and Arthur Smith coaching
Bench Cam Sutton !!

As long as Tomlin is coach. We will always be mediocre. After all the standard is mediocre and that is the standard.
Blah blah blah
Najee showed to have way more better games than Warren, and I don't want a turnover machine to be my featured back.
Playing from behind =💩
Let's pray to God that we get the Houston Texans.
Otherwise it's one and done

I mean really; you cant start slow and waist 1st and 2nd quarter u have to play tough all 4 qrts, if this offense doesn't start playing fundamental football this team will never win a game.

I THINK tomlin NEEDS TO GO NEVER A LOOSIMG SEASEN
Tomlin is not turning the ball over. Do you watch the games?
You need to go we need you go be a browns fan
Cincinnati loss…. Baltimore wildcard loss
Nope Baltimore wins and Bengals wins over us
Time for Justin, Najee, Warren, Muth & Austin
Yep
They not switch QB
No playoff win
You okay with the players that got you 10-3. since Sutton came back things have been bad. Get Beanie back in the field. Everything will be fine. Grow a set of balls and fight back.
Beanie and Sutton both suck get rid of both them today
