Can we draft a goddamn TE early in next April's draft?

PLEASE?

So it seems like usual, we have no problem between the 20s...but redzone execution is still poopy.

Gradkowski sucks ass, and Suisham isn't as good as he looked last year.

There's a reason he bounced around the league.

I have no idea who will emerge as a red zone target on this team.

Zero idea.

Nerves can cause a lot of what we're seeing. Once these guys get comfortably confident execution gets a lot better.

No. No, we cannot. It's not allowed.

I'm merely saying Adams looked better than the dogshit he put up before this drive.

The offensive talent on this team is pretty awful. God forbid we should have to play a backup OLman.

The way the OL protects and considering the lack of offensive receiving talent, all they can do is try this quick, short, horizontal pass game-- and it sucks ass.

The defense looks like they are doing way too much thinking. Clusterfuck!

The red zone talent scares me big-time.

With Cotch gone, a big guy like your fella Kelvin Benjamin sure would look good in this offense.

Heath still looks slower than usual and Lance Moore just isn't a red zone guy.

Color me worried about this offense in the red zone.

Vince Williams is going to be a different player this year.

Reminiscent dipping of the shoulder like DeeBo and Porter there for Carter.

Its the very first pre season game. These guys need a lot of work. Seeing some stand outs. Heyward, Shamarko Thomas, Vince Williams, Brown, Archer.

I'd add Spence and Wheaton in there too.

1st half good on 1st viewing.

Archer is fast and ballsy
I thought the OT's looked decent
Pouncey had the same anchor issues
Foster and Decastro need to play with more of an edge...Still quality
Vince Williams solid
Spence/ Terrance Garvin solid
Muscle Shark Thomas hitman
Cam Thomas looked pretty good
Golden has improved his tackling
The backs

The Bad

Timmons missing tackles
Heyward plays dumb at times
Hubbard
Browning
Blake
Wing
GRADKOWSKI-Sucks
Swisher Sweet

Yes sir. I was impressed and saddened he didn't get the sack too.

Agreed.

On the flip side I'm still concerned with both lines. Winning in the trenches is crucial. The Steelers struggle on both sides of the ball in the trenches. It is just the first pre season game too so I won't go off on them, yet.
