In my dreams about 5 years from now, after the draft, Dave has a paragraph
that starts 'Khan keeps nailing these drafts year after year..'

ALL OF THIS, Scott. At the risk of sounding like whatever, I'm kinda
looking forward to drafting high...provided they don't wet the bed with it.
Thanks,

The Steelers D played 3 solid quarters Sunday following a solid game vs.
Tampa. The dropped INTs kill me, especially Edmunds and Sutton but they did
their job and the O did not.
That said one of those INT's prevents a Tampa FG and may change the
Steelers game plan and maybe Kenny doesn't throw one of his picks.
The offense has struggled under Mitch and Kenny. Both have moved between
the 20's at times but the red zone and overall execution is not good to say
the least.
DJ does not look like the guy who rightfully earned a raise. Claypool had
one good quarter. Najee is getting better but not looking like the guy who
was named Captain
and expected to be a key to this offense. Muth is holding steady and
underutilized as Steelers TE's often are. Pickens is the real deal, but
also under utilized.
2 key stats I heard.
1. The Steelers are the only offense NOT to score 20 points in a game
2. Pickens is now the leading WR after 7 weeks with less targets and
catches than Chase or DJ
The OC is a major issue. The team is doing the same predictable "trick"
plays over and over again. We don't go deep and we don't use the middle of
the field.
Kenny forced some passes, and may have been gun shy but the issues of
playing in our fears has been season long and that comes back to the OC.
After the spanking I fully expect in Philly I pray Canada is gone.
Kenny is a rookie making rookie mistakes. This team COULD have won against
the Jets, Miami, Cle and Pats but did not. We also should have lost to
Cincy.
We are OFFICIALLY in a rebuild and I am happy. playing for 500 every year
is stupid. Let Kenny and the youngins grow and build for the future.
I realize we are wasting Cam and such but we are not going on a deep run
with this team right now. There are lots of positives and we need to suffer
through
the negatives to get to where we want to be.
Weekly improvement is the key and the second half schedule is much easier
than the first.
I genuinely think by Week 17 this offense is borderline scary to
opponents.
