Things Im looking for in preseason

[SteelerInLebanon]

Bullshit. Good to great QBs improve and look the part. Rudolph plays like a scared little ***** and has no plus attributes, weak arm, poor pocket presence ,can't go through progressions and no mobility. He also didn't see the field his 1st year so he had more time in the system than the rookies who are thrown into the fire

He is never going to start a game for the Steelers despite your weak protestations

He has improved, he doesn't have a weak arm, his pocket presence is vastly improved from the beginning and he has started a WHOPPING 10 games. JFC you are so off this. He had our second longest run and yes he can go through progressions. You are right he didn't see the field and that makes a big difference. Your analysis is on par with Coach's.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

Rudolph has 5 wins only one was against a winning team. We won despite his piss poor play
. Guy is a POS QB.

You are having to make excuses for him winning yet blame others for making excuses?

and has no plus attributes, weak arm, poor pocket presence ,can't go through progressions and no mobility. He also didn't see the field his 1st year so he had more time in the system than the rookies who are thrown into the fire

I thought you called him cpt check down? And weak arm? Amusing

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

There is nothing Rudolph can doin preseason to up his stock for a trade. Mr. Check down is what he is and it is a waste of valuable reps for the new QBs to sit while he plays or practices.h

 

[Wolf44]

What are you talking a

I thought you called him cpt check down? And weak arm? Amusing

What is your point ? He has a weak arm and checks down incessantly. He has no plus attributes, these are not contradictions or exclusive of each other genius.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

you just said he cant go through progressions. It IS a contradiction. And he doesnt have a weak arm. Youre out of your tree.

I am not sure if Mason has a weak arm, but he does not use it properly. He can throw a decent deep ball, but the throws that require a lot of zip he struggles with. The ones that really scare me are like mid-range out routes. He always floats them and are in danger of being intercepted. I dont know if its a mental thing, mechanics, or physical limitations, but the ball just doesnt seem to jump out of his hands.

1) O'Canada is my biggest concern bar none, bigger than any player / coach / FO / owner / concessions worker / ticket taker / & HOT steelers girls.!

2) Offensive line play, this is big. I need to see that all has improved Dan Moore needs to show some dominance along with Big Dot. Also the new guys at center & right gaurd. It would be nice to see the RT show improvement but I think we have seen his usual.

3) QB play is going to be hard to gauge this first pre-season game due to the level of competition. I JUST hope whoever our guy is........ he shines.

4) Did I mention the severity of O'Canada's improvement, I hope he goes from high school / college to NFL grade OC. Big step but I hope like hell he has more than 15 plays and has become sociable with his players as well as his assistants.


All good from my view


Salute the nation

I have to assume that Canada has a lot of stock in beer and other alcohol libation stocks ... given how much he pushes everyone to drink. He is my biggest worry. By far. We should have brought in Russia or China to call our offense instead.

He has a very weak arm. He cannot throw a 20 yard out to save his life, has little zip on his passes and has to wind up to float a 45 yard jump ball. If your nose wasn't so deep in his balls you could see his obvious shortcomings.

Every NFL QB. can throw a 50 yard pass, some with a flick of the wrist and many while off balance.Rudolph has to be set and windup to do it in a clean pristine pocket. He is a POS QB , kinda like your posts

 

[Fiji Mariner]

you're absolutely delusional. he is not a franchise qb, not for the Steelers, not for any of other 31 franchises, either.

Not even for Cleveland??? I saw they signed Kap, lmao…couldn’t tell if that was internet BS or a real story…but if it’s true it’s effing hilarious

 

[Stewey]

Did I imply that anyone wanted to see injuries??? And what does 'score' have to do w/ my quoted comment???

No not at all Berm. What he meant was that not wanting injuries goes without saying.

Hey! Be fair! It takes almost all qb's at least 6-7 seasons to learn how to make the ball jump out of their hands! We wont know anything until he's had at least 34 consecutive starts! Just be fair, ok?? He's gonna get better, I jus' know it!!

 

[Omar10213245]

Nope. Not even Cleveland. I'd gladly take Brissett over Mason

If this is a true thing then I can't stop laughing at cleveland.

Watson will be "displaced" for a year

Crapernick will attempt to play.......... maybe. He sure as **** wasn't interested in playing 2 years ago......

Cleveland will fold before the season end, they have been a joke since coming back into the league and I think they will continue that role.

Me too

Frankly I was surprised Brissett didn’t land here since he and Canada have past history together, but they landed T-biscuit who was likely higher on their FA targets list with his pedigree/mobility

 

[Avoid_Lloyd]

It is so bad my wife was about 60% accurate last year. I wasn't sure if I should be turned on or mad how bad the calls were.

The former, you need a something to look forward to after watching Canada's crap fest

 

[black and gold apex]

I want to see if all the training camp hype on Pickens is real. I want to see if Canada really is changing the offense with Ben gone. Of course, how the QB's act in game situations. How will be coverage wise.

 

[Drink IRON City]

I want to see a PLAY OFF CALIBER team, playing a pre-season game and actually look like they know what they are doing.!

Salute the nation

 

[bermudasteel]

Damn Canadians😜

 

[Stewey]

Damn Canadians😜

Now why would you bring Coach Matts family into this?

Oh never mind, that would be the Canada's, not the Canadians.

 

[skline00]

No injuries, PLEASE!
