POLL BATTLE ROUND 2: (Hood-Mundy-Harris)

I went Mundy. Harris needs to work on learning the playbook and keeping/improving conditioning and strength.

Ziggy is going to get plenty of playing time, esp. with the latest injuries, I don’t think he needs any more, heck he might start soon.

1) Bailey with a pick 6? Maybe I missed that…
2) I didn’t go with Wallace last time since he was getting the playing time…so I would think Sweed would benefit more than Wallace at this point. Am I looking at this the wrong way?

Phantaskippy makes a great point above with Hood.

I had just woken up…that was K. Fox with the pick six. I must have been dreaming of all of our guys on defense getting pick 6’s… :)

You guys are so right on top of tuff, it’s honestly such a blst to be part of a forum of fans that are so well read and intelligent in “football stuff” as the people in this forum.

All things being equal, though, is the key thing to keep a focus on. We all know Wallace is not only playing a ton, but he’s killing it when he does. He just flat out does not look like a rookie, and he’s earning Ben’s trust with every play they work on together. I included him because, gifted or not, getting playing time or not, he deserved to be in the group based on his experience (rookie to 2 years of experience).

As for Hood, I didn’t look at his potential upcoming playing time, necessitated by the injury to A. Smith. Again, the one huge factor is the fact we have needed depth, young depth, on the D-line for a couple years (and that’s being kind). Tomlin is working him in, but as we saw with Rashard, he’s beginning to show us what we spent our moey on. Every single member of Steeler Nation is anxious to see what Ziggy brings on game days.

With all that being said, I haven’t heard anyone ask “What about Mendenhall?” Looking at some of his raw attributes, and quirks like hanging the ball out like the Saturday laundry on a sunny day, I think it’s fair to say he needs more time and more reps to “get it down.”

Like I said before..it’s all in fun, and just a ’Skeet & Giggles" kinda thing. :)

In one of Harrison’s sacks, Hood was double teamed, and almost got to Favre (he didi put a hand on him, but Deebo had the sack).

Denver game coming up, how can Clark even consider playing?

From which of the following players listed below would the team benefit the most from by giving them more playing time this season?

Regardless, my answer to both is Ziggy.

should read……The Steelers would benefit most if which player got more playing time. As it reads the answer is kind of silly. Each and every one of these players would greatly benefit themselves the most by getting more playing time. So…for the player there is no wrong answer…there is no right answer either. They all benefit equally. None are starters so that is obvious.
