Fuck Shitz-burgh

Fuck them with Anthony's Dick.

In the ass.

Bills are still cleaning up the shop. They released starting LT Langston Walker (who moved over from RT to LT this year to take Peters' position) with Demetrius Bell taking over and brought back OT Kirk Chambers to back-up.

Now it appears that OT Jon Runyan is coming in Buffalo tomorrow to work out.

He's the 4th TE, likely to be inactive, and who (other than Tenn fans/media) said he was better than Pettigrew?

One could perhaps make a reasonable argument that their RB's are, I don't know, the same guys? Since, you know, they're the same guys.

4th string, likely to be inactive

Their solution at WR was to bring in a #3 caliber guy to be #1. He's been injured, so give them a pass on that not working out.

Kenny Britt has proven what? I think he will be better than Brandon Jones, but he has yet to prove even that.

The bottom line is Justin Gage is the #1 WR. This is never good.

Only Dominique Edison made the roster. This is going to help give them a better passing game?

Sorry, none of the things you mention appear to likely to make a difference. The possible exception is Britt. He could really be something special - but even WRs who end up being that rarely make a difference as rookies.

Bottom line: A rational examination suggests the Titans will still be hampered by a poor passing game.

1) Stevens is a solid blocking TE and a long term project. Cook may be 4, but they run alot of 2 TE sets, so I wouldn't be shocked if he's active.
People have said he may be the best due to his camp perfomances and the potential he's shown. Word is he's been making 'circus' catches left and right.

2) They added Ringer to their RBs, and he's been a steal. Adding them gives a EarthWindFire-esque combo, with Johnson's speed, White's strength/power, and Ringer's shiftyness.

3) Gage is their No.1, Washington 2, Britt 3 (if I remember right).
The Titans have big play guys in Gage and Washington, which is what they need. Washington stretches the field, and Gage gets plays by being 'forgotten'. Britt shows potential, but needs time, and for now, that's fine. The Titans run 2 TE sets alot, so Scaife and Crumpler will be getting most of the looks in the passing game.
Our passing game isn't or 'main' option, it's just designed to be efficient and good enough to warrant respect, opening the run.

4) The young receivers have shown alot of promise during the preseason, and Edison is only one of the good changes they made there. They also released Williams (at last) giving them the ability to work these young guys in. This year was a VERY deep year for WRs, so it shouldn't be a surprise for a team to have 2 starting caliber guys from this year's draft in the works.

Though I respect your logic, I must disagree.

The passing game never truly 'hampered' the Titans, as when they needed to rely upon it, it came through for the most part. The one notable exception was against the Jets... But when Favre is ripping your secondary a new one, it almost doesn't matter what you can do on offense...

Their passing game is much better, as the depth has expanded a great deal, and the potential will show flashes that will have an impact. Remember, Johnson and White surprised alot of folks to begin with, which led to them doing so well. Now teams expect them and will try and stack the box. Cook, Ringer, Britt and Washingtton will not allow them to do so.

NiteMaestro · 09-10-2009, 07:18 PM

Quick word about Cook.

He may not be considered the "best" TE, considering I don't know how well he does blocking. But as a receiving TE, he's been scary good for a rookie.

+ Edison #3? Not yet... Britt will back up Washington, I'm sure of that... Maybe he's considered a better slot guy though... I wouldn't be surprised.

+ Just checked, Ringer is no. 4 RB, apparently Henry has finally shown something...?

RomaGoth · 09-10-2009, 07:19 PM

When the fuck does this game start already? While we are young, NFL/NBC.

Lathum · 09-10-2009, 07:32 PM

anyone else got chills?!!!!!!?????????!!!!!!!

Lathum · 09-10-2009, 07:47 PM

Jesus what a tackle by Troy

RomaGoth · 09-10-2009, 07:47 PM

Polamalu is a friggin' beast.

PilotMan · 09-10-2009, 07:57 PM

A roughness tackle? One foot out of bounds less than a second before contact. Refs are a little tight early in the season.

fantom1979 · 09-10-2009, 07:58 PM

Another good play by Troy

PilotMan · 09-10-2009, 07:59 PM

Ugly start for both teams. Good hits, but there ought to be points on the board, one way or the other.

muns · 09-10-2009, 08:04 PM

Geez the "O" line for the Steelers looks worse than I already thought.

Fucking Big Ben looks horrid. When will the Steeler offense stop being inept?

fantom1979 · 09-10-2009, 08:14 PM

Not a good pass by Big Ben, easy pick

But your right what the hell was starks doing. Him and Essex need to wake up here soon at some point

Arles · 09-10-2009, 08:23 PM

Man, the pass protection is pretty horrid by Pitt.

RomaGoth · 09-10-2009, 08:23 PM

Is Cowher calling plays for the offense now? This is pathetic.

fantom1979 · 09-10-2009, 08:24 PM

Run blocking not so good either,

Parker, 5 carries, -1 yard

fantom1979 · 09-10-2009, 08:25 PM

they finally get a decent run and it is brought back for holding.

RomaGoth · 09-10-2009, 08:27 PM

For fuck's sake why did they keep Starks again?

Edit: nice catch.

Galaril · 09-10-2009, 08:35 PM

Nice first quarter stats Ten 93 yards Pitts. 1-but no score

RomaGoth · 09-10-2009, 08:36 PM

I hope the officiating gets better, this is ridiculous. Even Collinsworth says so. Also, how the hell do these penalties offset? An illegal formation makes it a dead play, thus the interference would not matter.

lmao ... refs not looking good in early season.

And how was that d-PI??? hahahahaha.

fantom1979 · 09-10-2009, 08:38 PM

I am usually of the opinion that if the defender is playing the ball, then there should not be pass interference. Troy looked like he was tracking the ball there.

RomaGoth · 09-10-2009, 08:39 PM

Wow. Just wow.

Logan · 09-10-2009, 08:39 PM

Congrats on your first catch Kenny!

Illegal formation is not a dead play, they correctly offset.

Good job by Collinsworth for pointing that out after Michaels said "no harm, no foul." I've always hated how commentators refuse to point out when their partners say something stupid.

edit: Like EF said, I'm referring to how he said it should have been 3rd and 7...not just a redo.

fantom1979 · 09-10-2009, 08:41 PM

Can someone explain why on the holding penalty on Ward on Parker's nice run the Steelers ended up with 2nd & 6. the holding was in the backfield and the run was on 2nd &1.

fantom1979 · 09-10-2009, 08:44 PM

Over/under for the number of Jay Leno commercials tonight... I think I have seen 1/2 dozen already.

I didn't see the play (heard it on the radio). Holding is usually a spot foul and you cant get a first down on a hold (just like you can't get an INT with "Dirty hands")...replay the down and march off 10 yards from teh spot.

RomaGoth · 09-10-2009, 08:52 PM

Finally, TD. Should be at least 7-6, Pittsburgh, right now though.

Got it. I must've been mistaken abouat where the holding took place. I thought it was closer to the point of attack.

Galaxy · 09-10-2009, 08:57 PM

Britt is certainly looking good.

RomaGoth · 09-10-2009, 08:58 PM

Nice play by the Titans, but that Steeler secondary is looking awful.
