The Wizard of Boz! Big W for the guys. Feeling good going into next week. Hoping we get another look at Fields next week while we let Russ heal up 100%
Probably a good idea if anyone remembers bountygate. Fields showed some good things today but his short and medium range passing needs work. Wilson has much better accuracy but wouldn't survive a full season behind this developing O line. A fresh Wilson around Christmas could tip the scales in our favor against KC though.
I'm honestly hopeful for this team. Offense was messy and conservative. Defense looks like the best in the league rn. Biggest concern coming out is punter.
I been gone from ur comments for a while but now that it's officially football season I am back in a biiiiig way, looking forward to another great season worth of your vids man
Feels great. No tds but we got the dub. I dont want to see anymore end arounds from Art until like game 6 though. TJ, DJack, and Deshaun played lights out 🔥🔥🔥
As much as he didn’t want to admit it, he was nervous but I’m glad he got rid of those nerves fast. I like Fields. I hope he continues to improve because he can become a superstar if he can fix his issues.
I mean we got the win and got to work today. Was it pretty? No but a couple of penalties and we get our TD’s. A lot closer than it should have been for sure.
We will take it DB have to expect a slow start Fields didn’t make the big mistake didn’t look great but did enough specially on 3rd down hopefully he’s the back up and Russ is better or going to be same old Steelers games which I’m okay with if we win defense looked good!! But don’t think Cousins is all the way back Out of the gate secondary looks much better even in tackling Football is back!!!
So if I told you after week 1 the Steelers would be 1-0 all alone in first place in the AFC North everyone would have said 1 percent chance that will happen. Perfect way to play today by Justin. He played a safe game and let what the Chicago Bears Defense could never do keep him in the game. Justin Fields now can begin to play with the attitude that 1 mistake will not doom him and that days game or season. He has a real team behind him and when you get support and know they believe in you it can help you elevate you game to another level. One play at a time one game at time. Stack up some win over these teams that you are better than. No let downs. Like going into Denver is a must win and a good week to put it on tape. I Believe in this team more than I have since the Killer B's ego's wasted 3 or 4 years of championship level ball into a horror show that the whole world watch unfold and rightly so. We you think everyone else should kiss the ground you walk on and you forget the most important lesson in team sports. "" There is no I in team and when you choose to play on the Eye team you subject yourself to the walk of shame. Lets hope these lesson where learned by those still there and the powers that be. Great job you and Alex K. are my to favorite guys who break down Steelers tape Number 7 is as close as it has been in 10 years. Bingo Starr
I'm pretty happy with them overall! So much Newness. Ultra young O-line. But they held TOP by 10 minutes. That usually results in a win! Number 1 D!! Thanks DB!
Having a competent OC did wonders for us. I really look forward to seeing the ceiling of this offense as the season goes. The lack of a #2 WR was pretty evident today too. I’m hoping Roman Wilson will help with that in the near future. Overall I am happy with how we played. This defense against a rookie QB this week is going to be very fun!
What I liked most is people that were new to the team came out to play, like Elliot and Jackson, as just two examples. I hope our offense improves, but this team will take time to gel.
I think Fields needs to improve but this game apart from first series played showed improvement for first week football which is bad across the league. I would look all 22, apart from 14 we don’t have people getting open but need better look. And the team has a lot of penalties on o at wrong time during drives and they are not built for that with one receiver. The offense did not seem to have many three and outs like last year, that is a big positive moving forward.
Yep! If we’re gonna run a WR screen when Austin is in the game, we might as well have him catching because expecting him to make that block is foolish. I was disappointed with Pickens’ effort/technique on that play though.
I thought it was he and Frazier in all those exchange issues in preseason, and yesterday it turned out okay on all he recovered, but needs fixed. Probably seen GO in single coverage and got excited lol
That drive in the 4th quarter gave me hope for JF, it’s just that we killed that momentum with 1 bad play call. We gotta let JF throw in the in zone aswell.
Man I feel like there was a lot to take away from that game. Was Connor heyward ever out there? Not so sure I was a fan of seeing Pruitt out there so much over him today. But hey there was some beautiful play action usage and for that I’m thankful, I think Smith is such a refreshing breath of competency in comparison to Canada. Also holy shit does this defense have the potential to be the best in the league, I’m excited to see what they do against a rookie QB next week.
Great Vid as always D. Two things: 1. Who do you think they go back to at Punter? Hoping it’s not Presley lol. Wing would be my guess 3. Gunners on punt coverage continued to be an issue today. Any thoughts on them going back to the well of Miles Boykin and/or James Pierre? Potentially might be a roster spot open at CB with the Rush concussion. Just curious your opinion on it.
First off in recent years the steelers have not been good so the fact that they won the way they won that's not a good thing. Good defense and crappy offense, Dude we need to get rid of that game plan. In recent years the NFL is an offensive driven league. Teams that score points are teams that win the Super Bowl and play off wins. Okay we'll take the win but this offense got a lot of work to do I know it's not okay to keep winning games like this.
Did Larry O push his man into Cousins lap on both interceptions? Am I seeing wrong but in the preseason and also yesterday I’m seeing Daniels struggling to get out and make blocks on screens.. a few times I’ve seen him missing and his guy blowing the screen up
I don't know why this would be called ugly. I remember back in the early to mid 70s we would haveconsidered this a thrashing if it was done to Miami or Oakland or Dallas. We rooted for defense. Wasn't this a beautiful defensive performance?
i cant believe i ever thought we would lose this game. every time the offense was lackluster the defense came back fast and fierce. i will never lose faith in this defense if we are fully healthy
The new and improved defense made the veteran QB Cousins look like a rookie. 😅 They were usually rushing only 4! It’s good to know we have a talented backup QB that can get first downs with his legs.
Ugly Ws count the same as a 70-0 drubbing. Defense has a chance to be dynamic. Offense needs to build momentum. Health and some luck and this team can do things late in season!
Jalen had 1 good inside run. The refs blew chunks, I feel like they had money on the game. The line played decent and Seomalu DIDNT GO ON IR! That means he might come back sooner!?
So I know fields has his ups and downs, but I have a hard time believing that we would have won that game without fields yards on the ground. It tends to extend drives and keep the defense off the field longer as well. Idk maybe it’s just the flashy young player side that’s getting to me but I can’t see Russ improving our passing game much more than what we saw today.
@@uh3940 Thought it funny when Tomlin was asked who he thought Fields ran like, he said “Derrick Henry.” And it’s true, he breaks tackles like a strong running back.
Can't expect to win tomany games with the kicker especially nowadays. Teams like the chiefs and niners will score a lot and that will be TD not field goals. 6 Field goal's is far too much use for the kicker nowadays
Great game for Donte Jackson with a nice INT while DJ was 2 for 19yds on six targets.
He proved the doubters wrong today. I hope he continues to do that.
it woulda been nice had he got the 1st one. coulda been 2
I kind of feel bad for Diontae there lol
Diontae lives rent free in your head 😂
Definitely like the shiftiness of the new Najee.

Defense is really really good...Fields looked better as the game went I thought, he wasn't asked to do too much but did take advantage of a few plays
As much as he didn’t want to admit it, he was nervous but I’m glad he got rid of those nerves fast. I like Fields. I hope he continues to improve because he can become a superstar if he can fix his issues.
Would agree on both.
Wizard of Boz 🐐
How we feelin, Steelers Nation?
I mean we got the win and got to work today. Was it pretty? No but a couple of penalties and we get our TD’s. A lot closer than it should have been for sure.
@@pit7burg think I talked about Spencer in the vid, no?
@@Steelers_DBhad to go back guess I missed it
I'm just hyped at how awesome the defense looked
@@pit7burg he was on my duds list as week two QB hits and a false start
I think if GP stalk blocks on Jefferson screen instead launching himself at Bates its an easy first down ? Bates blows right by him
We will take it DB have to expect a slow start
Fields didn’t make the big mistake didn’t look great but did enough specially on 3rd down hopefully he’s the back up and Russ is better or going to be same old Steelers games which I’m okay with if we win defense looked good!! But don’t think Cousins is all the way back
Out of the gate secondary looks much better even in tackling
Football is back!!!

💯👏👏 👏
definitely agree on russ. If he cant move he cant play
Easy call for me

I have optimum this year for our Steelers 💪
Loved the wr screen with CA3 blocking(getting blown up)
Feeling great DB.. rough but a Win
exactly i was saying the same thing why is calvin blocking at 5’9
If they plan on running toss receivers have to block !!! Najee a great run of toss not sure who the receivers were
I think Fields needs to improve but this game apart from first series played showed improvement for first week football which is bad across the league.

And the team has a lot of penalties on o at wrong time during drives and they are not built for that with one receiver.

We’re gonna do the A22 tomorrow.

Also holy shit does this defense have the potential to be the best in the league, I’m excited to see what they do against a rookie QB next week.
Also Boswell is definitely better than overrated Tucker at this point right?
He was only like 5 snaps. You’re gonna see Pruitt a lot more imo. Better blocker.
How I missed this time of the year. LFG man.
Lost my voice today.
1-0
I'm gonna sound like a Homer but Watt film room would be lit (obviously)
Merry Christmas.
@Steelers_DB bro I'm for real hyped!
Thank you. Having CA block on that 3rd screen makes no sense. If anything have him catch the screen and Jefferson and Pickens block.
Watt is the Steelers MVP. It has been for years now. The man is an animal.
Great Vid as always D. Two things:

Teams who win superbowls have top ten defenses most of the time
@@G93209 ok. But, my brother, remember im sure they didn't get to through playoffs, and to the superbowl with a crappy offense. NO WAY!

Pass rush was v good despite only a couple sacks.
Tjs tfl’s we’re so clean

Do you think fautanu will get playing time this week
F it I’ve seen enough, TJ is the best player in the world. QBs included.
Who's available to sign as a punter bro?
Can you do a breakdown on Joey Porter jr? Because Drake London had almost nothing today and I'm wondering if JPJ just put the clamps on him
Potentially!!
15:20 lost his block on the Pickens end around Pickens should’ve kept towards the edge but van man lol
There was another one that was worse lol
Kirk’s gonna have nightmares of TJ all this week
A win is a win for game one 😅
Good win, but disappointed in the passing game.
Jalen had 1 good inside run.
The refs blew chunks, I feel like they had money on the game.
The line played decent and Seomalu DIDNT GO ON IR! That means he might come back sooner!?
i think they go back to Wilson for sure if hes healthy. and the offense will improve.
The bootleg roll out to the left was there all day, don't know why they didn't go to more
So I know fields has his ups and downs, but I have a hard time believing that we would have won that game without fields yards on the ground. It tends to extend drives and keep the defense off the field longer as well.

Thanks for the recap tho db!!!!
@@uh3940 Thought it funny when Tomlin was asked who he thought Fields ran like, he said “Derrick Henry.” And it’s true, he breaks tackles like a strong running back.
TJ is the best defensive player in the game today. He was robbed of the Defensive Player Of The Year Award last year. 😡
I don’t think we could have expected much more from justin
👍🏼
Obi-wankeechobee had a good game ….🚀🚀🚀
All offense to Van Jefferson 😂
I’m trying to b nice lol
Maybe he rhought the opposition would think the same thing BAM the element of surprise.
Can't expect to win tomany games with the kicker especially nowadays. Teams like the chiefs and niners will score a lot and that will be TD not field goals. 6 Field goal's is far too much use for the kicker nowadays
You kinda are blaming smith on player execution
It can be and often is related. Doesn’t have to be one or the other.
Fields takes some of the worst sacks and those qb c exchanges half 2 be on feilds 3 different Center an they all fumbled
The refs were favoring the Falcons for sure
I knew DJack trade was worth it . Not worth mental energy to street Diontae contract
And now Diontae has Bryce young. Even Pickett wasn't that bad.
Stop complaining so much Steeler nation we'll be just fine
The officiating was atrocious. Steelers win despite them trying to give the Falcons the game. Disappointed you didnt call that out.
i dont really agree with the spencer Anderson take. I really don't think he played bad
Hey to each their own. 2 QB hits and a false start isn’t great in my book tho. We’ll see what the tape says
