Will Faith Domergue do?
@DH13 posted:I'm not sure what to think of our greenhorn secondary mostly shutting down Puca Nacua, Cooper Kupp and the other guy. Other than Rypien being that bad. If it's that simple then expect Pickett to get a lot done with Pickens, even with a pick thrown in there.
It was good to get our wet-behind-the-ears (building on your theme) secondary a game against the Rams. Jaire could take care of Kupp; the other pups had lesser guys. This week will be a better test, and then it gets progressively tougher to Mahomes. It gives the pups a ramping up every week, so we'll soon see how well they actually do.
A glitch in the giddyup may be Jaire's back. Despite having a really good game against the Rams, he did not look comfortable. He didn't even celebrate his plays like he normally does, and he's been a step or two behind receivers. Now he's missed more practice. If Jaire is out, and without Sul, the kids will be tossed into the fire, and we'll find out how talented -- or not -- they are pretty quickly.
I wasn't aware of what Kupp said or says. What was it?

Same two DNPs as the last two days: CB Jaire Alexander (shoulder) and LB Quay Walker (groin).

Josh Myers (knee), who was added to the injury report yesterday, appeared to be a go. pic.twitter.com/vH6TIRYhml
Alexander is making a lot of money being unavailable since he signed his big contract.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur says that Jaire Alexander (shoulder) and Quay Walker (groin) are DOUBTFUL for Sunday at Pittsburgh.

When you people don’t leave the humor to me and Goalline, it’s pretty sad.

This thread is pithier than any of the TNF threads.
Minkah out and no Montravius Adams revenge game. https://t.co/wuyJNvNBFh

Some interesting comparisons between Tomlin and MLF, and offensive complexities between the two teams.
I feel like this game will be similar to Raiders and Broncos in one respect. I think it’s going to come down to the final possession for each team and whichever team executes that possession best wins.
We failed on that last possession vs Raiders and Broncos but maybe this time around we execute a little bit better. Let’s hope so, this is definitely a winnable game even though the Steelers are maybe a tick above average and we haven’t been quite at that level for the majority of this season.
The Steelers are 5-3.
Their wins are by margins 3, 4, 4, and 5. Included is a nice win at home against the Ravens.
Their losses are all by margins of double digits - 23, 24, and 10. Included is a blowout at Texas.
The Steelers are beatable.

Link?
Josh Myers is a go? Go where exactly? To a missed assignment?

Jace Sternberger. On Locked On Packers 😁
The former Packer Montravious Adams was going to tear that Packer O-Line UP!
Packers are lucky. I'm still betting Steelers on the M/L
Steelers = -170
Packers = +150
P.S. Packers is a solid bet this week. They have to win of course 😁
I just hope we play Together so Everyone Achieves More

I’ll be the contrarian: Too many cooks spoil the pot. Unless your Goldie - then you smoke it.
IDK how many watched the entire Sternberger interview but a ton of interesting observations from a guy who played for both the Packers & the Steelers;
Asked about differences between MLF & Tomlin
- Tomlin is the "alpha male", a motivator, everyone knew when he was in the building, never talked with you about offensive concepts, etc., only about being physical and aggressive (probably why Jace got cut before there regular season with them).
- MLF is more the tactician, extremely detailed, more about execution , not the leader that Tomlin is, but could develop that more as he gets older and more experienced.
Asked about the differences in offense:
- said in Pittsburgh the play card install may say " 5 yard slant" for his route, in GB it would have a number of contingencies based on coverage. Said his head was spinning, especially if they came to the LOS with two different plays they could run. Said it doesn't surprise him at all that the offense has struggled with so many young guys.
Asked about what offensive install meetings were like with AR
- Said surprisingly that Adams was more vocal about questioning concepts than AR was, but not in a negative way.
none of that is surprising. this team is soft and too green to execute mlf’s fancy pants schemes i except Pittsburgh to kick their asses today
I don’t know if LaFleur cries every week, but I sure do.
Me too. Sometimes I think the Packers don't even care about my feelings. I think I'm in an abusive relationship.
31-10 Steelers.
The Packers Oline won’t have an answer for TJ Watt and even though the Steelers offense sucks, the Packers D has too many injuries to repeat last week’s impressive performance.

I can’t quit them.
That’s because you can always see the potential in the T.E.A.M.
You try putting together a winning game plan with this crew.
