He might not have much of an ACL left with two tears in about a 12 or 13 month period.

Fun fact: TJ Watt had more dirty Wrestling-like take-downs on Joe Burrow (1) than he had Sacks against Joe Burrow (0) last season#Rulethejungle pic.twitter.com/Omg0gphxus

So your defense that TJ Watt's perfectly legal, taught technique that happens to ball carriers 25 times a game is dirty is to post clips of TJ Watt blocking Burrow after interceptions? 

If any one of our defenders blocked Lamar Jackson after an interception, you'd absolutely love it. 

There is no "benefit of the doubt". It's a type of tackle that happens dozens of times a game. Is Logan Wilson dirty? Of course not.

I’m familiar with how they “teach” in Pittsburgh.

In this 3 clip video, you literally see the gator roll tackled attempted 2 times lol. Geno Stone misses the attempt on the first play and Mike Hilton tackles him with an ankle roll on the last play.

It's a play that happens all the time. Crying about it being dirty is embarrassing and shows you have no idea how football is actually played.

Used to be headhunters until the league cracked down....now TJ Watt is "clean" for doing shit Burfict got ran out of the league for. Only in Stooler town....

I’ll give Tomlin credit for continually fielding a winner, but man, he seems to always have more knuckleheads than the average team. Porter Jr and Pickens were putting on a clinic in that regard yesterday.

He's the rich man's Marvin Lewis. Porter had two penalties on one play. I can't remember ever seeing that, lol.

He has his moments in the run game.

Back to back big runs that are highlighted by Amarius Mims.

First play great combo and climb to knock the defender over and get on the backer. Alex Cappa good as well.

Second play he does an excellent job to torque, strain, and sustain pic.twitter.com/puLuObRaNR

Why?  

We need to keep tape on the Steelers and Ravens and we need to play like the Steelers and Ravens. If the NFL has a problem with it - take the tape to the media and expose them.

Porter is a Man Corner in a Zone Corner's league and he is really handsy. He should get called for more penalties than he does, but we 
all know why he isn't. I thought the stealers had the right game plan in having their best Corner taking Tee and let the rest try and cover
Chase and it still didn't completely work.

Pickens is about as talented of an idiot as I have seen in a long time. That guy is extremely selfish and stupid.

Yep, Mims can be great at both pass and run blocking he is that talented with his balance, strength and quick feet and technique.

Sure hope we get a good OL coach to coach him up instead of hamper him like I am afraid Pollack would.

BTW, those were the plays I saw from Cappa where I thought he looked good.

Well let’s see, to start with OBJ is a good LT on a decent contract. Why in the world would we even consider cutting him?

Not to mention Mims is showing promise at RT so ofc someone has to want to mess with that by switching him sides. OT is one of the few positions that isn’t a huge need this offseason. Other than better depth.

Problem is with the speed at which it has taken the team to improve areas of weakness, Brown will be over the hill, and Mims could move on before they ever get the interior figured out.

Pickens learned from Diontae Johnson... Porter from his dad Jerry Sr.

Obj is ok, but hurt a lot and that's going to increase. Mims is the lt the minute obj leaves. He was hurt a lot last year too with the groin 

Easier to find a quality rt than franchise lt which is what Mims will be

This is the first year Orlando Brown Jr. has missed games due to injury in his career.

This is outdated thinking. Some of the best OT’s in the league play on the right side. Sewell, Lane Johnson, Wirfs, etc.
