The true test will be if the players adjust to McCarthey at the half, score a TD early and get back in it.  We know what a Tomlin led team did the last 10+ years
Gracie Lou
10:01
Zamo...tell em! That's why we play the whole game
Steve
10:01
Replace DK with Bernard. DK has no wiggle and stone hands except when he holds
Junkman
10:01
Queen blocked 25 yards down the field by WR. He so needs to go

The curse of the jpj, pickens, brod ghosts
Lou
10:01
No Dean and No JPJ and the lack of experience and quality at CB is now a big weakness. What’s done is done but they should have paid Porter and not Herbig. If anything, Sawer could do what Herbig does and cheaper.
Junkman
10:01
Is DK playing
hallett
10:01
worst defense ever. no attack plan. could not tackle my grandma.
Christopher Carter
10:01
Hit me with your halftime questions. I've got my notes above.
Have to say, seeing the arguing on the sideline isn't good at all. Shows overall chemistry isn't there and they aren't handling things internally well.
Lou
10:01
How is Harmon?
Christopher Carter
10:02
No note yet.
Junkman
10:02
Tackling absolutely horrific. Led by queen who is soft
Denver
10:03
Please explain to me what this pass defense consists of besides letting people get open
Christopher Carter
10:03
They're trying to do too much with the disguises and don't have the personnel to do it right now.

They need to be able to line up in man but they're getting cooked when they do.

If you can't win in man and you can't communicate zone, you're going to get cooked. I think that's what's happening.
Lou
10:03
Steelers don’t seem to blitz much. What’s up with that?
Christopher Carter
10:04
That's been Patrick Graham so far.
Flip the Standard
10:04
Browns total offense so far?
Christopher Carter
10:04
222 yards.
Jaycee
10:04
think we can get back on track?
Christopher Carter
10:04
I think they can. They get the ball here and there is a way to get the offense going. Need to get back to getting Warren and the TEs in space.
Steelermark
10:04
Chris … surely we can make adjustments??
Christopher Carter
10:05
Yes. This isn't something they can't solve.

Adjust for the Browns blitz and have better counters to create coverage conflicts on quick looks to give Warren and your speedsters some 1-on-1 missed tackle opportunities.
Defensively, tighten up in coverage and trust your pass rush to get home.
Lou
10:05
I’d like to see a blind side corner blitz or something
Christopher Carter
10:06
Ramsey would be perfect for that.
hallett
10:06
glad to see them take a knee, we finally stopped them.
Christopher Carter
10:06
heh
Carlos
10:06
Queen is not an NFL MLB
Christopher Carter
10:06
He was a big help last week. I don't think he's as much the problem this week.

How do you stop a team when both the offensive and defensive lines are more physical than the Steelers? They are getting pushed around
Christopher Carter
10:06
That was the lede for my scouting report. The better defensive front will define the game. The Browns' defensive front has dominated, and they're up.
Biff
10:06
Would love to know what watt said on the headset. Definitely said "... Game plan".
Carlos
10:06
Need 7 right away
Steve
10:06
The defense is doing more yelling at each other than making plays.
Christopher Carter
10:07
Not a good sign.
Steel Russel
10:07
Is it deceptive or are the browns just quicker off the ball and when they catch and run
Christopher Carter
10:07
I think their defense has done a better job to smother the steelers receivers and the Steelers' defense isn't pressing their guys.
Lebo Rick
10:08
The Steelers need the score on their first drive, no matter what
JDT

Can we stop the “bench him now”, “cut him tomorrow”, “this is the worst team ever” garbage? Put a little thought into your comments before hitting post. Too many of you sound like fools.
