Steel Alive

If/when Troy comes back is he even gonna be 100%

[dave]

Korns infamous for disappearing when he's team isn't winning games. No surprise to see him to continue doing it.

Korn is the baddest young brother in these parts...

lol @ Pittsburgh the most dangerous 7-7 team. That would be the Titans easily.

Houtz knows what's up.

[KoRnStARr]

ok, now i know you're stupid. a defensive end who collapses the pocket and demands double teams from an o-line is what frees up pass rushing olb's. the same issues came up when we lost to jackosnville twice in tomlin's first year. you were a fan then right? follow the logic mr. madden cheater: if the oline doesnt need to focus on a DE, who can they focus on?

the steelers classicaly play down to their competition. here is a fun fact from this year:

The Steelers are 5-2 against teams that are .500 or better but 2-4 against losing-record teams. (stat from nfl.com)

oh, and the most dangerous 7-7 team is probably the one who has the running back that can gain 200 yards in a game. stop listening to the idiots on espn and form your own opinion for once. the steelers dont control their own destiny. if we end up tied with the ravens they get in, so just beating them and miami wont do it. we need them to lose to oakland in week 17 as well.

did i not just say aaron smith helps collapse the pocket? he's still not they key to a 3-4 pass rush, a DE's job in the 3-4 is to occupy blockers to free up the LBs, but it's still the outside backers job in the 3-4 to create the pass rush.

and it's not like we're having problems creating a pass rush, labeau is dialing up all kinds of blitzes, only problem is there's no troy to cover up the holes in the secondary, or take away the QBs initial hot read.

by the way, all we need to do is win our next 2, have denver lose one of their next 2, and have jax drop a game in their next 2.

denver plays @ philly, and kc
jax plays @ NE, not sure bout their second game.

we hold head to head tie-breaker over denver, that's the key

yet another thing about the steelers you're wrong about, who's fair-weather here?

here's a fun steeler fact from this season: 4-0 with troy
3-6 without

12.8 ppg with troy
27.4 ppg without

lol @ me not being able to form my own opinion, how fucking dumb are you? just like the whole polamalu thing, right? no big deal if we lose him! also, our D isn't the issue, right??? you dumbass, how many times in one season can you look stupid bout your own fucking team?

sidenote: lol @ calling me a madden cheater, you're an idiot who probably thinks a double A gap blitz is cheating also because you refuse to block your RB or slide protect the oline down. X's and O's isn't your thing, it's okay.

yes, they've proven to be a great playoff team before.

ok slappy, now put this isn madden cheese baller terms...

if the oline doesnt have to have two people account for the de, then who can they focuse on? if you said no one cuz i bringz the double a gap heat and glitch then you are a fool. if the oline has to worry about the d-line then the pass rushing OLB's can get around the ends and do their damage. it is simple, yet so hard for an idiot like you to understand.

x.o and o's arent my thing... lol. you mean finding ways to trick a computer to make my self worth go up cuz i have a bowl cut and face for radio arent my thing. everyone knows troy missing hurts, but anytime a team cannot genreate a pass rush it doesnt matter if you have a secindary full of champ bailey's and asomaugh's, you aint stopping shit.

the steelers arent the most dangerous 7-7 team, the titans are. the titans have a running game, something we dont. when a team is one dimensional it is easy to stop. i expect us to beat the ravens, and to be honest i think we can beat the phins too, even without troy. but it is eany given sunday and right now the steelers arent a playoff team and the only team they are a danger to is themsleves. please just stop this, you are only making your self looking even more stupid than everyone already knows that you are.

In fairness to Mendenhall and the run blocking: they do have a running game when that fat fuck Arians decides to let Mendenhall have the ball.

[Woy]

yes, they've proven to be a great playoff team before.

The most dangerous 7-7 team usually isn't 1-5 over their last six games.

And I still believe if CJ doesn't get hurt against the Ravens, we are in the Super Bowl.

I'd honestly like to see that. I guess my hatred of the Titans has waned over the years. I guess not having to suffer through Steve McNair kick the shit out of the Steelers as he used to when they were in the same division has quelled it.

[jHammack]

Woy, you're right about not being a scary team after you go 1-5 in your last six. But to even make the playoffs, we'd have to win three straight against 3 pretty good teams. If that happens, then I'd say they are probably pretty scary for any team to face.

As far as last year goes, how can you say that CJ would have put you in the superbowl? Yes he was having a good season, and the Titans beat the Steelers in the regular season, but I still think the Ravens win that game with or without CJ playing.

CJ was going off on that "great" Ravens defense and already had 72 yards on just 11 carries, plus a touchdown in just the first one and a half quarters. Once he went out, the wheels fell off of the offense and the running game was dismal with LenDale in there. Still doesn't excuse the two fumbles, the horrible coverage on Mason by Nick Harper and the delay of game penalty that should have been called, but if CJ is in there, the offense actually makes some headway and doesn't force Kerry Collins into winning that game.

All that said, you keep ignoring something. WE GET PRESSURE ON THE QB...LaBeau is dialing up these blitzes but he doesn't have Troy there lurking to save his ass in the secondary from being burned. Overloads, double A gap blitzes, it's the usual calls but with less then desirable results because there's no Troy to cover up the holes in the secondary. Troy makes all the difference in the world in that aspect, something you, like an idiot -- have to tried to play off all year long as a minimal loss, not a significant crippling loss like I've stated and noticed it's been SINCE THE BEGINNING. Look at the thread you've repeatedly looked like a moron in, in the "So much for the Steelers being fine without Troy..." thread.

You'll find yourself stating our defense as FINE many times through out the year, until you finally come to terms that this D is ass without Troy... finally, about a week ago.

As far as the 3-4 defensive end's presence, you're preaching to the choir. I've already stated multiple times that Smiths' presence hurts, BUT it's STILL the responsibility of the OLB's to generate a pass rush in 3-4 and ultimately falls on them. What do you not understand about that? That's how a 3-4 works you fuck. Like in a 4-3, you need your ends to generate the pass rush. You don't need a stud DT in order to make this happen. Sure, it helps, but it's the outside LBs who act as the edge russers job to generate this in a 3-4!

And yeah, I'm tricking the AI in Madden with basic x's and o's concepts. Again, you were the same idiot who complained and said an overload was a "nano" and an "exploit" because it causes pressure every single time in the Madden section earlier in the year on a 3-4 tip I presented. Yes, an overload creating pressure every single time, imagine that?? Sending more then you can block.

And buddy, I've been on TV, mainly for the baby face and swag, something you lack in. But hey, at least you're a messageboard supersta!

When Troy comes back, we will a dangerous playoff team. If the Steelers can beat Baltimore @ home, which they should, Troy's expected to come back @ Miami. That's not a game-changer, really? Dumbass.

Sidenote: We have a run game when Arians allows for it to be utilized.

LOL you've been on TV for being among the best exploiters of video game AI, congrats.

You are acting like you are some kind of genious for exploiting computer blocking schemes in a video game.
