The Steelers are masters of gameplanning and targeting a weak link.

Volson stunk today for sure but he was not the only O-lineman to do so in pass protection.
Also expected to be able to get push on 3rd and short this year but apparently that's not the case.

It sucked. Good Lord, how bad is Carman?

Scharping was inactive today. I'm not sure how long Volson's leash is, but another game like this should put Max on the first team.
He shouldn't be made out to be some world-beater, but Scharping is a pro that won't be nearly the liability than Volson was today.

Just a travesty that a team in win now mode, maybe a top 5 bengals roster ever, has a front office that is willingly being stubborn by relying on a 4th round rookie from North Dakota state
There is the instance of Mike Brown still being Mike Brown

Still haven't seen the first half (and won't, now that we lost), but if Volson was truly worse in the first half than he was in the second half (that I did watch), why not bring Carman in?
Again, he played 2 games (1 started and played the whole game) last year and didn't give up nary a sack.
Shouldn't put the eggs in the basket of a guy who can't move laterally, at the OL position you arguably move laterally the MOST.

He HAS to improve from that. There’s nowhere to go but up. I guess that’s about as optimistic as I can be about him right now.
How does one win a position battle by playing like that? Because the competition was Jackson Carman.
