What? You don't remember how animated Montana was?

And Bob Dole agrees with whoever posted that the last Cyrus TD was pure will.

I was referring to a different play than the strip-sack he gave up.

Trent Green himself said that play was largely on Alex Smith's shoulders.

There was a separate play where Fisher was shoved back quickly because he was too high.

Jeff Allen wasn't helping either.

It is going to be a Long season if you keep defending Alex after he played like he did. Alex was a negative, did nothing, showed nothing, no passion and like I said even his interview was boring. After choking in the second half of the playoff game-I was hoping to see some kind of spark out of him. Fact is he has zero competition, it was the first game, he didn't give a shit and it showed.

Does anyone else see this as a COMPLETE oxymoron? Did the Steelers ever have stellar corner play? No, can you name any of the 85' Bears corners? Other than Leslie Fraser, because we all know him as a coach? Secondary play becomes less relevant when you have the tanks we do rushing the QB, our DB's only have to be good for 3 seconds every play and we'll be solid; plus the fact that we'll mostly just rush 4 so our corners will have help over the top.
I'm sorry but this just infuriates me when people knit pick at our defense when it is this good; no team in the last 20 years has been outstanding on all 3 levels, it's just not possible within the modern salary cap.

It was the first pre-season game.....JFC.

We're going to draft a G next year to replace Jeff Allen. Just watch. Brandon Sherff come on down.

The Steelers weren't playing in this era.

In this era, you can't succeed without a great secondary.

The Chiefs have four solid starters. Everything after that is a mess.

I don't believe Jeff Allen is a free agent after this year.

Rodney Hudson is. Allen and Stephenson both hit free agency in 2016.

I'm not really defending Alex's play. I was pointing out how dumb your analysis was. You can't say "he overthrew a few balls" and not expect somebody to call you out on it. Words mean something and your analysis made it look like you didn't watch the game at all.

The whole "I wanted to see fire" statement you keep making is stupid as well. It was the first preseason game. I doubt there were many starting QBs "playing with fire" (what the **** does that even mean) last night.

eah Davis looked good running hard and determined. He could be the guy to get us those tough yards at goal line and 3rd and a foot that we struggle at.
Ford did what he was drafted to do. Get after the QB as for overrunning plays DT made a career of it to the point Marty jerked him in obvious running situations. DT is a HOF'er so not so worried about that. Hali currently does this a lot too drives ya crazy but you cant stifle the aggressiveness.

being rationale about Alex Smith is not the same as 'defending'

going off the deep end about stupid shit with Alex Smith is just annoying

You're Geno Mafia, dude. You're a part of the conspiracy against the fans!

Mitch Holthus keeps slobbing Ricky Henry's knob.

I wish Ricky Henry would take Jeff Allen's job.

If Allen is so ****ing talented, then make him the swing tackle/backup guard on the left side.

This isn't 1985. This league is so pass happy it makes me sick. If your corners suck, and a team knows it cant run on you, what do you think is going to happen? So yes, our corners need to get better, because the ball is going to be in the air.

I mean, when was the last time a team with a great secondary won a superbowl on defensive performance? RIGHT GUYS?

Oh yea, it was last year~
