They are moving and trapping and doing a lot of things to get those linemen in "mauling" mode and I like it
PittPhantoms

Bizman - just imagine the Browns are about to pay Baker Mayfield $45 million a year.  I think TJ getting $25 million is just fine after hearing that.
Zeise
8:33
If the Browns pay Mayfield that much the entire front office should be drug tested. No way I would pay him that much, he isn't that good
JayZ
8:34
nobody wants Ebron at his price - maybe get a six of Yuengling
Zeise
8:34
I can use the old Buddy Ryan line when he tried to trade Earnest Jackson -- "They can give us back a six pack.....and it doesn't even have to be cold."
The Dude
8:34
No reason Steeler defense can’t be better than the defense that ended the season last year. Remember they didn’t have Bush and Nelson wasn’t playing that well. Highsmith could be better than Bud was at his best before injury.
Zeise
8:35
Just look at the linebackers - Highsmith, Schobert, Bush and Watt. And think about the linebackers that ended last season.
The Dude
8:35
They like D Watt on special teams
Zeise
8:36
Of course they do and they should. But that's a lot of money for a special teams ace. They need to use him some in the offense
Bizman
8:36
Wouldn’t that really hinder their cap space to create a great team?
Zeise
8:37
It is the catch 22 of paying a big time quarterback - you need them to win but when you pay them it is hard to put a great team around them
AkronSteeler
8:37
I agree on both comments about Snell.  I don’t see what he brings to this team.
Zeise
8:37
He is slow, he is a one trick pony and Ballage and Harris are both better at that one trick
Angie
8:38
I know Lions are young, and this is preseason…but O line looks a little more settled.
Zeise
8:38
Yes, they are definitely going to settle in and it seems like they have found their best five linemen
1 working end zone
8:39
What a generic ugly font for the tarp covers on the field level.
Zeise
8:39
You don't like those?
Steeltown
8:39
Hey Paul, any observations on Schobert tonight?
Zeise
8:40
He has been around the ball - on the one third down play he was late getting to the play. So far he has been as advertised
JayZ
8:40
Are we this good or Lions that bad?
Zeise
8:40
I don't know how good the Steelers are. But the Lions are horrendous. Horrific. awful
Bubby_Blister
8:42
Ballage should be #2 back
Zeise
8:42
I think McFarland will be and Ballage will be the short yardage guy and get some carries
The Dude
8:42
Snell can’t make the team in the tub as the Emperor used to say
Zeise
8:42
Thats true but he is also the fourth best running back at best on this team
1 working end zone
8:42
So stubborn.  Just paint ‘Pittsburgh’ in both end zones. It looks like they ran out of time or forgot to do it. Geez. The satadium is only used for games 10 days a year.
Zeise
8:43
They won't do that, will they?
JayZ
8:44
Between the draft and free agent pickups this has been one of the front offices best off seasons
Zeise
8:45
I agree - I like the drafted guys, I have liked what I have seen from Ingram and Turner and Schobert should be a good addition.
The Dude
8:45
Paul Berinc this is Steeler talk not “Am I the Dumbass?”
Zeise
8:45
Ha. I thought maybe he was lost......
Sunner in Orlando
8:45
I like the rotation of  Watt Highsmith and Ingram. That’ll keep all of them fresh in my opinion.
Zeise
8:45
Yes, I thought Watt played too many snaps last season and got worn down by the end of the year
Zamo
8:45
I don’t see why people like McFarland.  Ballage has showed me a lot more.  Detroit is going to be awful this year!!
Zeise
8:46
I think people like both Ballage and McFarland. It is Snell that has fallen out of favor
Fan
8:46
Does this game a good sign or does it mean nothing since it is preseaskn
Zeise
8:46
I think there are some good things that you can see in a game like this. The offensive line has to get better but I can see that it has a chance
The Dude
8:46
Green will get better. Expect him to struggle at times with his limited experience
Zeise
8:47
Of course, he played only four college games at center. Anyone who thought that he would come in and not have growing pains is kidding themselves
Zamo
8:47
I would love to see Ebron sent packing in favor of Pat, Rader and Gentry.  Don’t know how much they can save by doing this or if it’s dead money
