The only caveat being, if you get the chance to draft a stud prospect who is also BPA then you should take one. Premium player pick. As for safety, Apke is awful. He’s getting time though, maybe the coaches think he has enough to put faith in, given the chance/playing time. He’s getting the the Haskins coaching treatment on defence. And Collins...I am a big fan of his. Not sure he’s justifying that deal right now though. Agree. FS and LB are the two biggest needs on defense. KPL is the only one worth anything right now amongst the LB’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not Collins is overrated definitely not worth that much money but this team continues to overpay free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 What happened to Moreau? I thought he was playing alright but it looks like he basically rode the pine last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method man Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Is HaHa taking the season off? You would think someone would've signed him for at least depth. He is a terrible tackler and I know he spurned this team once in FA (picking the Bears) but I wonder why they don't give him a look. In addition to being an upgrade over Apke, he is a former DB backfield mate of Collins's at Alabama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 People were wondering why we let Sean Davis go. So I checked to see what, if any, impact he's had since returning to the Steelers. He has literally and strictly played only on Special Teams, as he has not logged one single snap on defense all year. IIRC he missed most of 2019 due to injury. Before that he got a lot of playing time, and was considered reliable. So maybe his Safety play dropped off a bit, due to being unable to return to previous physical form, before the injury. That's just speculation. But then again, he's backing up Minkah Fitzpatrick, so they probably have had no need to resort to him. Which seems the more likely reason for his lack of playing time on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 So, with issues at both Safety positions, couldn't this be a time where we switch Fuller to Safety ? I know we'd prefer not to move him, as successful as he's been at corner, but if the Safety play declines rapidly as a result of the changes, it may be worth it to move Fuller. Probably too early for that, so I suppose they see how the replacements pan out, before making a switch like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 You don't move a good Corner to Safety. Safety is where Corners go when they physically can't keep up at CB anymore. Fuller has been real good this year. So happy to have him back. I can't believe we ever traded him AND a draft pick for Alex Smith. I wouldn't have dealt him straight up for Smith. Thanks Bruce.

Malapropismic Depository Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 The only reason the thought crossed my mind, is because of the adage that desperate times call for desperate measures. Hopefully it does not get that desperate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh8686 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Man, it's crazy that we have the #1 rated pass defense right now. Who the hell saw that coming? We'll of course have to see how that holds up against tougher competition, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was their run games that killed us in those games. The only QB that really lit us up was Goff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather play with 10 guys on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanguard Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Kamren Curl said he’s going to get the start Sunday. Says he feels like he’s already adjusted to the speed of the game. And anybody knows that’s the most important thing for a rookie. I think this kid can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 So, we're starting 2 Safeties, different from our last game ? That could be a good thing, because we needed a change, of some sort, as NY seems to have our number. We beat all NFCE teams, except NY. And NY lost to all NFCE teams, except us.

Malapropismic Depository Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Someone tell me this. Why don't we see more of Moreau ? No pun intended. Whenever I see him, he's making a play. But he's hardly on the field. Is it because everyone ahead of him (Fuller, Moreland, Darby) have been doing so well ? When Darby started struggling yesterday, I wondered what it would take for Moreau to replace him. Could he at least be a future starter, when Darby gets up in age ?
