No. We lost to the jags because our offensive play calling was bad.

Having a top 5 offense is nice and all... But with the talent we have, it would be ridiculous if we weren't toward the top of the league. The problem I've always had with Haley is his offenses can't get the tough yard or make the tough conversion, because he puts them in a position to fail.

The pitch 5 yards into your backfield on 4th and less than a yard vs Jacksonville is a prime example... But it's just one of many terrible Haley moments

Not having the offense ready with a 2md and 3rd down call b4 running s play on 2nd down in the waning moments against NE this year is another prime example... Again... Just one of many put up or shut up moments where he didn't put the offense in position to succeed.

Scoring 42 points on a top defense is bad. Ben only threw for 500 yards and 5 TDs, I agree they should have fired the offensive coordinator years ago.

I never implied that the offense was bad. I implied that losing Haley is not a big deal, and is preferred in my eyes. He tries to outsmart everyone and can't get the calls right in crucial situations.

Haley didn't throw the dimes in the end zone. Ben did. Haley didn't throw for 500 and 5. Ben did.

He did make the assanine calls on 4th and 1 in both crucial situations that eliminated any chance of winning though.

Anything else?

Tldr.

LOLeveon Bell... this clown is now asking for even more money, after everybody knows that he was asking for too much to begin with that he was never going to get paid. The best part is, it is all about his ego. He said he doesn't care about the guaranteed money, he just wants the average annual value to be 17 million so that he looks like he is as important as AB84.

GTFO Bell. With the way you've been playing, you aren't even worth 10 million per year, and you're asking for 17. LOL

I agree. Let him go... or tag him lol.

You're in the wrong website.

Not a big fan of the Terrell Edmunds pick in Rd 1.ut was quite a reach. I would imagine they plan to use him as a coverage LB in sub packages similarly to a deone Buchanon/mark barron.

I'm not mad at the James Washington pick. I think he can be a solid contributor. Was torn between him and chark as best rec available. Not surprised the jags snagged him right after.

Overall grade: C
Biggest plus: We got a possible successor for Ben, replacement for Bryant, and a few safeties with potential to contribute early.
Biggest negative: In my eyes, we failed to get a backup plan for Lev Bell, who we’d be INSANE to pay what he is asking. He SHOULD be as good as gone next season, and may not even show up until 10 weeks in this year. We also failed to address the position in FA. I also think we failed to get high value for our picks.

Round 1, Pick 28, (No. 28 overall):Terrell Edmunds, S, Virginia tech
I’m not a fan of the pick this early. He likely would have been there in rd 2 or 3, but the Steelers did what they usually do and got their guy regardless of where he was “supposed” to go. The only way I see this pick making a lot of sense is if they put him in the box and use him in a way similar to Mark Barron/Deone Buchanon as a coverage linebacker.

Round 2, Pick 28 (No. 60 overall): James Washington, WR, Oklahoma State
I thought this was a solid pick here. I was torn between Washington and Chark as the best rec available. Washington obviously was more productive in college. As a deep threat, his size and speed combo is strange. I think he’ll be a solid slot guy though.

Round 3, Pick 12 (No. 76 overall) [via Seattle]:Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State
Love this pick here. There was talk about us maybe taking him at the end of round 1, which would have been ridiculous…to get him in round 3 is a solid pick though. I don’t see him ever being a top tier franchise QB, but he could be a solid starter in the NFL with time. At the least, he could be a transitional guy when Ben retires. At best, he’ll step in and I see his ceiling as Kirk Cousins

Round 3, Pick 28 (No. 92 overall):Chuks Okorafor, OT, Western Michigan
We need depth on the OL. That was a big problem for us a few years back. In the past couple of seasons we have been fortunate to have solid line play and healthy line play. I don’t know much about him in particular compared to other linemen available at this point, but the positional pick makes sense.

Round 5, Pick 11 (No. 148 overall): Marcus Allen, S, Penn State
I think this is another S with potential to slide into the box. He’s big and physical for a safety. This draft really makes me think the Steelers have lost all faith in Sean Davis. I see him on his way out.

Round 5, Pick 28 (No. 165 overall): Jaylen Samuels, RB, North Carolina State
Samuels is a versatile player that could take carries, block, and catch out of the backfield. The pick is strange though considering we have Nix at FB already. I see Samuels as more of a FB than a RB.

Round 7, Pick 28 (No. 246 overall): Joshua Frazier, DL, Alabama
We need depth on the DL, but I don’t know how much production we’ll get out of him.

thoughts on bell?

conner/ridley could be studs in pittsburgh

conner already proved he can play well
