Steelers Saturday

make brennan play with the second team and collins play with the third team to see who does better

I would like to point out that they are last season's SB Champs. Calling them the SB Champs is misleading. They do not get an automatic slot in the Playoffs to defend their title just because they won the SB last season. Sorry, I just hate that term SB Champs and Defending SB Champs. They were the SB Champs until August, they aren't the Champs anymore.:rant:

As far as what I want to see, I pretty much agree with Rajmahal33.

I want to see how certain guys who really struggled last week respond this week (Davis, Tryon, and Barnes to be specific)

I want to see our kickers attempt some field goals

I want to see how Portis looks, even if only for a couple of carries

I want to see Colt try to stay in the pocket just a little bit longer before taking off

I want to pay a little more attention to what our linebackers are doing (or aren't doing)

I want to see if this Smoot at Free Safety experiment has any shot

And, of course...Chase Daniel

The LBs looked awful against Balt. I think they of all worried me the most. Even Fletch looked like crap at times. They and Tryon killed us.

real game day effort and indications they are going to be ready to roll come sept.

zorn has taken it easy on the fellas and i think it showed in balt. we cant take it easy and hope things click by the time we face the giants. we need to start coming together as a team now and the only way to do that is to play the 1st team O and D, not this "no portis, moss, AH" crap. \

play the 1st teamers through the 1st quarter. if the O has 2 3nouts by the end of the 1st quarter leave them out there till they start getting things right.

things will not magically come together in reg season if zorn doesnt start busting tails aout there.

rhythm, consistency, some semblance of balance. Would like the offense to spend more than 5 minutes on the field for the whole game.

So, for all those who have been screaming to work harder, seems like we are starting to see more payoff in the form of injuries. Granted we would see them eventually, but I think that they got 3 solid weeks of TC in before any real injuries were reported (not saying Cooley's back spasm is a "real injury"). I think that's what is most important, making it through TC without losing any one for the season.

JC going through all his progressions and if nothings there Id like to see him make something happen with his feet. He must show that he is playing for a contract and that there is some since of urgency that he wants the team to win,all in what little playing time he gets.

It will be interesting to see how our o-line holds up against a good Steelers defense. Fletch has some good things to say after practice.

I've been saying since before we signed him that Fletch's lost a step. I've been really wrong so far, but I worry that any minute now he just won't be the same anymore. I fear Cris Dishman all over again

Blades has been here and I think he is ready to step in a MLB if needed.
