Skins vs. Steelers Positives and Negatives

[JWsleep]

Our schedule was particularly weak last year; this year it is not. We are not that good a team, talent-wise, on the o-line and the d front 7. Makes it hard to do much of anything, if that's the case. We did not get better in the trenches. We did not get a better RB, center, or left guard. What do you expect, especially when you play a top team on Monday Night?

My main worry is that we do something stupid and fail to let McC build for another 2 seasons.

But on this game, if Cousins is better, we're at least in a shoot out. I didn't think they really stopped our passing game as much as Cousins f-ed in up at key times. Now,maybe what we're in the process of learning is that Cousins isn't the guy--this is his tryout. BUt I do hope he picks it up, or this year is going to be painful and Danny may get restless.

Please get a vet RB or two.

I'm all for Norman covering the best WRs, but no DB can do shit without a pass rush, and Big Ben is good even with pressure. And there was no pressure, really. Until we improve in the trenches, all the coaching in the world won't help, IMHO. I agree that we don't adjust well, but we still don't have the bodies, I think.

Maybe we'll get our shit straightened out, at least on offense, and maybe we'll generate some timely TOs on D. I sure hope so. But we're still building and we're not close yet. Hate to admit that, but there it is. Just fuking beat Dallas. The rest is more long term issues.
