I'm very confident our offense is going to do well, it's the special teams I'm really worried about. I'm a little concerned about the defense blowing coverages as we attempt more blitz than usual.

for the first time in a while, I'm much more confident in the offense.

my guess is that we score on 3 of the first 4 drives, then our defense can tee off and dominate pickett. We feast on guys like him anyaYs

O lines play better when they have time together. This O line had no time together in a real game. That could be an issue. We complained for years about McGlinchey but at least he was there every year and knew the system. He was also a very good run blocker which is important in this system. They may turn out okay but I'm a little nrevous about them. Even more so now that it's really on Brocks shoulders.

i think our offense will ball on their defense, and we will win, but I don't expect it to be a cakewalk. Tomlin is a very good head coach and his team usually plays really tough, even in down years.

Uhhhh I don't think of Kenny Pickett as a deep ball thrower. Maybe I'm wrong

Usually the offense takes a few games to get going, hitting all cylinders. I don't see that with Brock. I think they are going to take on Brock's style of play. Humming right out of the gate. Brock looks like he's one of those guys that can willed his intensity of play at qb onto their team. Eager to see.

The O line still needs to give him protection. They haven't payed one game snap as a unit. Brock, Sam and Trey all had to bail out a few times in pre season because the pass protection kept breaking down.

I thought they played well last night, except Brendel on run blocking, add Trent to the mix and we are in good shape, the issue will be if someone is injured

my rule of thumb is if we can hold the offense to 20 or under, we should win, every time. with bosa back and hopefully hufanga isn't banged up, we should do it

What we don't want is a low scoring close game that comes down to the wire, which is what pitt wants. We want to score early and often, make them have to play catch-up so our defense can pin its ears back.

I'm a big moody fan but I don't want to depend on our rookie kicker to win it.

our special teams has been awful this pre season, like terrible, and it's going to cost us some games this year - watch.

The kicking has been poor but coverage units have looked damn good to me.

The only o lineman who didn't get any in game playing time with the rest of the starting unit in preseason was TW.

Exactly. I'm much more confident with Brock in there. The only thing that worries me is Kyle calling the plays like Kyle eg asking Wish to kick FGs after TDs just because….

True but none of the starters got a lot of playing time.
