This was nice to see - though it could be a too little too late attempt to raise Haskins' trade value.

I should mention that we should only keep Alex if there's a significant restructure of the contract. He's due to make 18.8 next year....no, absolutely not. HALF of that number may be acceptable.

Smith may agree to a pay cut but I don't expect him to go that low.

Maybe he does us a favor and re works it for 2 or 3 years for 18.5 total?

Let's see how Smith does the rest of the season before assuming he's coming back as the starter. Hopefully tonight's a good night, but he's got to go to his WR's more, imo.

What a brutal way to go for Gregg Williams - our former D-Coordinator. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/report-jets-fire-defensive-coordinator-gregg-williams-after-legendarily-awful-loss-to-raiders-161424493.html Sometimes considered one of the defensive geniuses of the NFL. This probably ranks as the second lowest point in his career - #1 being caught in Bounty-gate. His 30 year NFL coaching career might be unceremoniously done.

Alex didn't throw 1 pass downfield until the last drive of the half. 7 of his 15 completions were to the TE - only the last one of those went for a 1st down. You can't make it that easy on Pittsburg's defense. Alex' left sock and shoe was covered in blood - from being spiked - that's his good leg, but they need to make sure there's no infection there at halftime. His only pass to Cam Simms... on the last drive for 30 yards. Why didn't they try any of this stuff earlier???

Woooooooooooooooooooooot

That was amazing!

Btw, the 4th & goal stuff by Chase Young... he got to the ball carrier faster than was humanly possible. And Montez Sweat finishes his second straight game as a flying 6'6 basketball player.

This.

That was so much fun.

The front four was incredible. Sweat is quietly working himself into pro bowl territory.

I might be starting to believe in Rivera

The coaching staff has these guys playing hard and believing in themselves. My Steelers fan homie said it's the Rivera effect.

Only disappointing thing is that the Seahawks laid an egg against the Giants yesterday, otherwise we'd be in first place. Hope they do us a solid like that in 2 weeks lol.

Under normal circumstances, I would agree with you, but the coaches and staff are trying to change the culture. Winning games and going to the playoffs is more important than getting a top 5 pick IMO. I have enough faith in the front office that they'll build the team properly using the picks and capspace they have going into the offseason.

Hopefully, the NFL doesn't decide to penalize WFT for the sexual harassment scandal and take draft picks away. That would suck.

At this point, we’re out of the running for a top 5 pick.

Make the playoffs, we’ll pick 19th or so.

Miss and we’ll be at 9-12.

That’s not nothing. The difference between the PSU stud MLB and a decent interior lineman.

But, the truth is, we still need talent everywhere.

Might be the end of Haskins there. 3rd down need to run clock or score, guys wide open on a break--completely inaccurate throw and picked off 20 yards from their own endzone.

luckily it hit the ground, but that's beside the point. He had our best offensive player wide open for a first down...he could have pitched it to Terry underhanded and it would have been a better pass than what he threw out there. All he had to do was lob it gently, but instead, it's a high fastball that almost gets intercepted.

I was siding against drafting a quarterback, and giving Haskins another chance, but I don't think he's salvageable.

Not exactly shocking that an inexperienced young QB who hadn't played for 2 months would be rusty.

What is shocking is how good and wise Chase Young is as a rookie - regardless of him being the 2nd pick. Back in the day, we had Dexter Manley and Charles Mann - probably the best bookend DE's in the game at their peak. Young and Sweat both in their early 20's can eventually eclipse them. 6'6 265 lb bookends - imagine if they stay healthy, and we have them for 10 more years. Skins 2nd half defense ranks #1 in points given up and yards given up. And that's with an ordinary back 7.

TGW · Post #119 » by **TGW** » Mon Dec 14, 2020 2:49 pm

Chase Young is the defensive end version of Sean Taylor. Sean was the last Skins player that gave me the goosebumps.

Post #120 » by **Rafael122** » Mon Dec 14, 2020 3:15 pm

Yeah, if they can get a mid-round pick or two for Haskins, I'd do it. Our 2021 QB is not on this roster.
