Rooney Mara . . . haven't seen any of her films --- dunno?



Maybe she needs to have one of her maternal great-grandpa's stogies strategically dangling from her mouth to see the family resemblance --- although probably best for her career that she didn't inherit too much of that.

[franco>madden]

PS. Apparently she can go toe to toe with #84 in the eye-catching 'do department . . . anyways, good luck with the podcast, fellas

[bradshaw2ben]

I prefer Kate but Rooney is pretty good at what she does.

Also, she introduced the world to merkins:

Thanks for taking my call...we need more posters calling in.

[Orangesteel]

Good stuff boys. Glad to hear Barry on their, and of course the Crazy Canuck Greeksteel.

Glad someone agrees about Cockrell.

Cockrell is the perfect example of a PFF guy-- looks good on paper but watching him is sometimes painful.

However.

The guy doesn't get beat in the red zone-- most of the success against him is with soft cushions and comfy chairs between the 20s. also, in his favor, he's been much more involved in the run defense game and tackling the catch this year vs last. I don't think he's a bad player, just a guy who can be effective at times.

[bradshaw2ben]

P.S.: I still can't get over that PFF has Ben as the 22nd best QB in the NFL this year.

[bradshaw2ben]

In what should come as no surprise to anyone, anywhere-- Football Outsiders tracks the consistency of performance from week to week, and so far in 2016, the Steelers defense is 31st (only KC is less consistent). The PIT offense is 28th.

[Steelafan77]

Is that points per game stats? Can't be.

I think any fan wanting Tomlin fired understands it's not even a possibility. That said, I believe fans understand that if we make enough noise that somehow someway it's noticed and perhaps helps usher in a change in the team's approach for the better. Teams expect their players to progressively get better over their careers. Why aren't coaches expected to get better over their careers as well? I agree with FC. There is no real HC replacement available. I also agree that I want to see Haley move on. Whether he takes another job in the league or is just fired.

Fining Brown isn't the worst idea I've heard. How do we know that Tomlin doesn't fine guys? I would think that's not something you make public. That's locker room only. I agree yet again, if you bench Brown or any starter you hurt the whole team. That's the sole advantage Brown has and I'm sure he is well aware of it. Attitude adjustment.

[bradshaw2ben]

Is that points per game stats? Can't be.

no. It's performance (both yards and points... I believe adjusted for game situation and adjusted for level of competition).

#9 offense, #11 defense, #18 Special Teams... #6 overall (behind ATL, DAL, PHI, SEA, NE)

[Steelafan77]

I also don't quite get the opinion on Tomlin and how the young guys really like playing for him. To this point, we hear via media reports about how undisciplined the team is and see on game day how unprepared the guys are. No disrespect FC. You know I got mad respect for you.
I am not convinced these guys are a band of brothers that love playing in Pittsburgh for Mike Tomlin and their thousands or millions of dollars. I look right at the off the field transgressions. I look at the pretentious shit shows after a TD or first down. I look at the lack of any urgency when playing the dregs of the league. I look at the win, loss column regarding those games. I see an awful disgusting trend of complacency and not really giving a fuck.
I completely understand liking someone you work for. You kinda go outta your way to go above and beyond. Just like in school. A teacher you loved in school you did exceedingly well with little effort. I don't see this at all on this team. Am I blind?

I think you are conflating two different things. Their willingness to play for him and their maturity. I think some things in life have to be learned on the field and outside the coaching room. They are learning some of those lessons, and some learn faster than others.

were you eating at the start of the 'cast

were you eating at the start of the 'cast

Probably. I'm doing the paleo thing lately and I just go around in a near constant state of being hungry.

Sorry if I made chewing noises into the mic.

[Legacy User]
