Hill had more yards in 9 carries today (168) than Gio had in the first 6 games (167). The talent Hill displayed in 2014 is still there. Gio is still his dynamic self. Fwiw, Hill is now up to 5.2 YPC on the season.
2. It's also probably time for some to admit they were wrong about LaFell. He's now on pace for 850 yards + 9 TDs. Still leads the team in TD catches (which even I will admit I didn't see coming). Maybe he's not the long term answer, but it looks like he's completely over the injury that led to the Pats releasing him.
3. Mike Nugent is not a good kicker.
4. Dalton is on pace for 4720 yards and is sporting a 100.7 rating. Not sure what else there is to say about the guy. He keeps working and keeps getting better. He may be a guy that is considered top 5 after Brady, Brees, etc retire.
5. AJ Green is in the midst of a career year. On pace for almost 1800 yards. Its not all about the numbers either. He just looks like a man on a mission this year. So many amazing one-handed catches.
6. It's been beaten to death, but Ogbuehi is killing us. I honestly can't recall a tackle looking this bad for us. We've been spoiled.
7. 9-7 might win this division. With the Ravens spiraling out of control and Ben out 4-6 weeks, this division is about to start looking real ugly. I know we all have our doubts about Marv in the playoffs, but I'll always take the chance, however small it may be.
1. As long as Zampese makes the calls that get the runners involved in the game and the OL performs well (rare this season unfortunately) I have no doubt that Hill and Gio are big weapons for our offense.
2. Been really impressed with LaFell this season - a good second wide receiver. I'd sign him for another year as Boyd isn't ready to be the second WR on the team nect season IMO.
3. Meh - isn't the best in the league but there are worse out there. If there were a lot of better options that were able to be signed some of the other teams with poor kickers would have picked them up by now I expect.
4. Dalton has impressed me plenty this year behind a OL that has struggled.
5. AJ Green - if this guy played in a bigger market we would never hear the media shut-up about him. Luckily he plays for us and I'm damn happy about that. A bona fide star.
6. Ogbuehi - having a shocker. Really hope that he can get into training camp next year and work on his flaws. Not ready to give up on him yet.
7. 9-7 might win the division but I still think we could get to 10-6 if we have a bit of luck. I don't think Roethlisberger will be out for too long - a pitch side reporter yesterday in the Steelers game said that he had said if it was the play-offs now he'd be playing. They have a bye-week next week (week 8) and if Jones struggled in Week 9 then I expect he'll definitely be back for Week 10 vs Dallas. Could come down to beating them on Sunday Night Football in Week 15 - lucky we have such a great record at night
