PrintHello Steeler faithful. I am here on behalf of other Saints fans at Canal St to hopefully answer some of the questions you have for those of you who don't follow the Saints. As well one of your guys posted a similar post on CSC so go here if you want to join in on the fun over there.
I would also like to issue an apology to all of you.I thought the "Super bowl hangover" was just an excuse...I was wrong. I mean cmon losing to the BROWNS?!?!?!? THE Browns!?!? (sigh). Anyway, I will try to answer any questions to the best of my ability and hopefully not come of as an idiot. Lets hope for a good game for the Black an Gold Halloween game!
*As an aside, please rec this post to keep it up till game day. After that feel free to unrec it if it so pleases you*

how concerning are brees's 4 INTs?
was this a fluke game or has this been a growing issue? i havent watched much of the saints, but i know that Brees isnt putting up the fantasy numbers that were expected of him. what happened to this offense? is reggie bush that important to you all? oh and speaking of him, whats his status i heard he might be coming back this week

The four interceptions was a fluke but he certainly hasn’t been very “Brees-like” this season.

I wonder
if people (especially male people) underestimate the effect having a new infant in the house has on players. That is a very emotionally and physically draining time, and just because you’re a football player doesn’t mean you can automatically throw that off. Our own Troy Polamalu has for the most part been much quieter than usual after the birth of his son.

I can probably tell you part of the reason.
I had to call acrollet this morning at an hour when he would generally be awake, but woke him up, because the baby has been keeping them up for the better part of the last week with a stomach bug of some description. Those sorts of things go with the territory, and they take their toll.

Sleepless in VT
We follow some unorthodox child rearing methods, one of which is attachment parenting, and co-sleeping until they are about 16 months old or so. Thus we get much less sleep. I’ve never been one for sleep to begin with (avg 4~5 hours of sleep for the last 15 years) but having a 2 year old crawl into our bed every single AM is getting old. I’m not too sure I want a 3rd one now… :)
no kids in my bed allowed
me and the old lady still like to get down if you know what i’m saying.
"Franco made that play because he never quit on the play. He kept running, he kept hustling. Good things happen to people who hustle."
Im married with kids. I dont know what you are saying.
That shit is what got me into this mess in the first place. :)
man i'm lucky
My first baby slept throughout the night since she came home. Very rarely wakes up in the middle of the night. My boy is not as bad. He likes to go in my bed in the middle of the night, but my wife usually lays him back in bed.
The best moment is when they are born. Its a whole cluster**** of emotions

I think it’s too early to say whether he will play on Sunday. The bad news is that Sean Payton can be a bit of a pathological liar so there is a chance that even if Reggie IS good to go, he’ll never show his cards until game time.

I don’t know man, your execution has been lacking, for sure, but he changes the defense, especially when he shifts out of the backfield to line up in the slot. That move right there, about 15 feet, will change a D from a straight man D to a soft zone as they struggle to get a safety up or a linebacker in the right spot.
In that way, he’s like a Randy Moss or something. You have to account for him, no matter what he did on the last play or in the last game, or last month or last year.

How did you lose to the Browns? LOL
Serious question time now, who the hell is this Ivory guy running the ball for you? I’d barely heard of him before and having seen very limited highlights of him, he seems to have some skills.
Also, is there something wrong with your D? Injuries? Playcalling? A weakness? The D seems to be far less threatening than last year.

I think...
the reason the defense SEEMS less threatening is because they aren’t creating as many turnovers or scoring as many points. In reality, the Saints currently have the 4th best defense in the league, one position ahead of the Steelers.
Chris Ivory was an undrafted free agent this year from Tiffin. He won a spot on the team in training camp. He’s big, he runs hard and he runs well.

I definitely would not say your defense is better. I would say your pass defense is better than ours. Otherwise, the Steelers D is a lot better in every other category that a defense can have. Run D, points per game, sacks, and takeaways.
If the Steelers want to win this game they have to make sure they run, run, run and pray that Flozell is healthy.

It depends on field position.
If we arn’t giving up much yards but you guys are constantly starting in the redzone (Browns game, thanks to INT or Special Teams) then they would have done better had you have started at the 20 or so yard line.

You'd have to see the team from last season to really appreciate it.
It was unnerving to an extent how dependent upon turnovers we had become. Plus this team has not been good at getting stops for a while. So it is good to see this, epsecially with so many backups out there.

LOL You guys are early
Trying to get that last game out your head huh? Its ok, we know all too well about the effects of a Superbowl Hangover.
Brees is throwing a lot of interceptions this season – a lot of them forced, very uncharacteristic for him. Who do you lay the blame on? Brees, his receivers or the OLine?
Also, Your passing game hasnt really taken on like it has the last couple seasons, any reasons why from your point of view?
Cheers
I still believe in you Big Ben. Its not how a man falls, it is how he gets back up again. Bring it home
All of the above
Brees has been throwing crazy, the receivers arn’t running the right routes (goes right instead of left, then Brees throws left into the arms of a DB) and the o-line has been bad in pass protection.

The REALLY suprising thing is...
7 of his 10 INTs have come against the Cardinals and the Browns. I don’t know how much of this week’s struggles have to do with the birth of his second son. I also am not sure if the added attention hasn’t taken its toll on Brees. I think he needs to take a break from the social netwroking and just go play his game. It’s nice to hear his thoughts, but I’d take once a month over multiple times per week if it means his level of play will get back to where ti was last year.

Browns are actually a good team this year, I would not be super ashamed of that loss. Although, you did get blown out…that is pretty bad. The Arizona loss might actually end up being a much worse loss, especially since they are NFC.
What’s up with Colston? He is not having a terrible year, but he hasn’t seemed to be much of a deep threat recently. His Y/R is down 4 yards from last year and his longest reception is 30 yards. I doubt people are doubling him since Brees is so good at spreading the ball, so what is going on with him?
How did your pass defense get so much better this year? Last year it gave up a lot of yards, but was very good at forcing turnovers. This year they seem to be the opposite. Looking through your match-ups this year I would say the best pass offense you saw was Atlanta (13th). Otherwise, you’ve seen 24th, 16th, 31st, 32nd, 18th, 22nd. Would you say that you have had favorable match-ups or have you made some scheme change or personnel change?
"I'm from Maryland, and no one can beat me!"
Colston isn’t getting open enough, and has dropped some crucial passes, which seems to have happened to all of our receivers this year.
Our D in general has improved, personally, I put all this on GW coaching. He seems to have shifted away from being a turnover monster into getting stops, and it works, The problem has been the offense giving up turnovers this year instead. Which has put the D in bad situations which makes it harder to get turnovers.

I find it quite humorous that even the Saints
Can make fun of the Browns. Well could until Sunday. But trust me, we know how you feel after completing what one poster here called the “triumvirate of suck” by losing to the Chiefs, Raiders, and Browns. Anyway, if you had to pick a player on the Saints that may not be a household but one we needed to watch out/account for, who would it be? (on offense and defense).

Jimmy Graham
He is the third TE and is a rookie, but he has been getting more PT as of late and has made some great ST plays. I would also say our 1st round pick, Patrick Robinson has been performing a lot better than most of us would expect. The Browns didn’t even go after him at all last week and he hsa done a solid job.
How about for you guys? Who is somebody we wouldn’t know about that might surprise us? I know it is hard to find a player for the Steelers that doesn’t get much attention because y’all are always on the highlights (because you’re usually always winning).

Well you got the BTSC favorite player in Redman
with Powerback style of running that brings back memories. Then we got 2 rookie WR that are play well. Our 6th round pick has already returned a kickoff for a TD, and the other one, our 3rd pick has converted some long 3rd down situations for us.
I'm getting tired of saying this: Dick LeBeau’s system is so complex very few rookies can make an impact.

I am not sure how to ask what I want to know, other than to ask…
What is up with the Saints? Do you miss Reggie Bush that much? I do because he’s on my fantasy team and he’s taking up room on my bench. You don’t look like the same team I saw last year. Did you have any personnel changes that would account for it?
We definitely understand about superbowl hangovers, and losing to the Browns. Both are painful.
I love being the most-hated guy here. I love beating them while [their fans] are flicking me off. --Hines Ward
last year your team had over 200 points off of turnovers. do you think that turnovers will be a vital part to this game? the saints are coming off some games where they have failed to produce those game saving turnovers, and the steelers have prevented some game ruining turnovers (making the MIA game 6-0 instead of 14-0 early on). do you think that this is the game to get your turnover swag (as it may be) back?
I would like to say so.
But with Brees throwing too many picks, and with the hair god back in your defensive backfield that worries me.

Sorry for the Big Ben comments.

So let me ask you guys…who do you see as your main competition in the AFC? Jets, Pats, Ravens, random AFC South team? Right now, the whole of the NFC is a mess, so I am confident that we’ll be fine if we get everybody back healthy and start performing.

Ravens are our biggest threat. We lost to them, so we must win against them the next time
After the Ravens, I’d put in Pats, Jets, Bengals, in that order- especially as they are the teams that determine our playoff implications. Dolphins surprised me, maybe they should be in before the Bengals.

Ravens, definitely
It was nice to see the Bills put a scare into them. Unfortunately, they’re the Bills for a reason.
I would then put the Patriots, Jets, and Colts (I know they’re down, but they won’t stay there).
Other teams of concern would include the Texans (a lot of people have overlooked the fact that their fade coincided with losing their LT and somebody else to suspension – when they get those guys back, if they’re still any good without the juice, they could be a real spoiler).
There are a lot of other strong teams — looking at the standings, it’s gonna be a dogfight for a berth in the AFC this year – Behind (or ahead) of the four mentioned above, the Titans are good, and so are the Fish. Plus the Chiefs get to feast on the NFC west and their mediocre division, so they could play a spoiler role with some easy wins.
Really adds a lot of drama to every game.
Oh, and add the bengals and Browns
The Bagels look done to me, but they have a lot of skilled players, and you never know, they could at least play spoiler later. Those are also the kind of games it’s tough to win – division game, potential berth on the line for one team, and it’s the other team’s Super Bowl. Ditto the Browns, who I actually think are better than the Bagels and their record. Small consolation for them, but if they could knock us out again? They’d be happy with the direction of their franchise.
Texans lost LT due to a PED failed test due to a certain vitamin he took that isn’t on the approved substance list. Also lost their RG to injury. I also follow the Texans so I’m in the know with them (It’s also how I knew to draft Arian Foster in FF.)

IF they’ve gotten that “we’ve arrived – oh no, wait, we haven’t, maybe next year” monkey off their backs, they could make some noise in January.

The Loss of Aaron Smith and how it relates to potential success of the Saints run game.
Jon,
As you know, the Steelers over the yrs have been the stingiest of stingy against the run. The run stop anchors around our Aaron Smith who just had torn tricep surgery.
Do you feel that with the Saints will tend to run more this game given Drew Brees’ current passing woes and the loss of Aaron Smith. And if so….how successful do you think the Saints can be against a weakened Steelers run game?
If we do it will be to set up the pass.
Plus we just don’t have the personnel to run that much.

Its amazing that the #1 opponent of legalization out there are the medicinal growers
They don’t like the idea of suddenly having lots of competition that will drive down prices. Everyone turns protectionist when its their livelihood at stake.
Illegal dealers are also putting a lot of money into fighting it. They don’t want to get taxed on the sales.
legalizing pot will put the crooks out of business
You don’t think they can compete with the mega corps do you? If American industry decide to grow pot it would be so cheap you wouldn’t be able to grow it cheaper yourself and the government would still make extra revenue by taxing it. Don’t believe me? How many out there are growing their own tobacco?
Police not wasting time chasing pot growers could go after the people dealing in hard drugs though the danger of millions of potheads on the highways is scary.

I don’t think that legalizing marijuana will all of the sudden increase the number of people driving high. I don’t even think it will increase the number of people who smoke weed. It will just get rid of the ridiculous criminalization of a pretty harmless plant.
I also do not advocate smoking…tobacco.
heh
Maybe but I remember when the drinking age in my province dropped to 18. There was a sudden increase in new drinkers who couldn’t handle their booze. I suspect the same effect would occur as kid’s who didn’t have access before will suddenly give it a try without realizing driving high is stinking dangerous. It may stabilize over time but there will be an initial period where contact high will include the crunching of sheet metal (or I guess the would be the splintering of plastic now).

I think the problem is not necessarily the drinking age
but the driving age. 16 is way too low to be put behind the wheel of a machine with the power to kill yourself or others. I’ve generally found that driving in the US, with the low driving age and the generally laissez faire approach to getting a driver’s license leads to way more reckless driving than it does elsewhere. I have to admit though, I don’t know if the same is true for Canada.
That said, an effect like you described could indeed happen, especially in the beginning – but the legal age of smoking weed would still be 21, right? If so, I don’t see it as such a big problem.
Manitoba
We now have graduated licences for new drivers. I don’t know all the rules though I will have to learn then next year for my boys. There are now restrictions on when new drivers can drive and who they can be with when they drive (iirc). I suspect this is partly because the province is also the sole issuer of auto insurance in Manitoba.
Legal drinking age in Manitoba is 18. If grass was legalized here it would likely also be 18.

well, to be drunk in public is one thing
That’s indeed frowned upon, though allowed. But from how I grew up, you don’t just drink beer to be drunk. you drink it to enjoy. Thus, a beer on the subway or on the street is not a problem whatsoever, and is indeed completely normal.
I just miss the freedom of sitting outside, watching one of St. Vincent’s sports teams play or simply enjoying sitting outside with a beer. That’s completely normal in Germany, but illegal in the US :/

As a person who has been pretty drunk...
And pretty “full” on “meatloaf”, you are far less dangerous on the loaf. I don’t know anyone, literally anyone, who disagrees with this who has any knowledge of the effects of each. Not saying there aren’t people who probably do disagree, just saying I don’t know any personally.
That said, even though I do advocate legalization, or at the least decriminalization, I do not believe driving under the influence of either substance should be legal.

This may be an individual thing
I have known people who could drive home so drunk they voluntarily stopped at a police Checkstop that was looking for drunks to find out what was going on and didn’t get charged but were unable to make a lane change in traffic because it was just too complex for the speed their brain was working at.
Of course maybe it is just that you get better booze and weaker pot where you are.

lots of people driving half the posted speed limit?
Because that’s all that happens when people are smoking pot. You can’t OD on the drug, you can’t (to my knowledge) pass out or black out.

or know the truth
whenever people bring up smoking pot and driving like its something super dangerous, i usually point out that talking on a cell phone beats all… its almost tied with drinking and driving.yet i dont see people going full negative on cell phone users.
i think people should have to past a test- it should be set up so that you can have a “drive while stoned” license since its my opinion that most people are much safer drivers while smoking a little, very used to it, etc. Not new smokers, of course, same with new drinkers, etc. You do learn your limits.
Its usually best for those that are speed demons while sober, from what i’ve seen. If you already drive like a grandmother, its going to make you a worse driver.
*disclaimer I do not condone smoking, drinking, talking or ANYthing while driving. Please think of the kids!
Right on about driving and being stoned
but cold-old is right about rush hour. During my happy days, I lived in a rural area. Now I drive in rush hour but am absolutely lucid and I don’t think I could manage rush hour any other way.
Your Funyuns comment was deja vu for me taking me back to my first time. 1976 and my buddy had a red trans am with red interior. We devoured a whole bag of Funyuns and cheese popcorn(at that time the bags were full). Took him a few hours to get the ground in crumbs out of his fabric.
Oh sorry- rush hour here is something else.

when the government owns the auto insurance company
there isn’t much debate. If it saves lives and it saves money then it is law. Governments who want to get re-elected find ways to keep insurance premiums low. It is one of those issues that can get supporters of all political parties up in arms.

a lot actually
When I did my license in Germany we actually had to read studies showing that driving slower than the speed limit can be just as dangerous as driving faster. Why? Because people that drive the road all the time and are automatic in their speed regulation (pretty much all commuting work traffic) are something like 150% more likely to get in an accident with people driving overly slow… Hard to believe, I know, I wish I could find the studies online, but know luck so far.
Speed limits
When I was there, people were grumbling because they were being forced to follow speed limits on the main highways. Is it back to unrestricted speeds now?

Were they ever not?
must have been before my time. The “all main highways have no speed limit” is a myth though. Especially close to cities, all Autobahns will have speedlimits pretty similar to the US speed limits. It’s only on extended parts with little exits in between that there is absolutely no speed limit.
before the oil crisis
In 1974 there were speed limits and every second driver including some Dutch complained about them.

I hadn’t read your previous post very well. It may have been that the no speed limit was only on limited stretches of road otherwise entrance ramps would be exceedingly dangerous.

exactly
the problem is the BMWs and Mercedes that think the speed limit doesn’t apply to them at all. Take Hamburg, where the city autobahns with exits every mile have speed limits of 80 km/h (about 50 miles/hour). Then take the yahoos that think they can still do twice as much, and you get why new drivers avoid those city autobahns at all costs.
I have seen driving like that in Ft Worth
I was speeding and people coming off the exit ramps where just blowing past me.

this makes perfect sense
Every accident on the way to work that Ive seen is invariably a person rear ending a leaf peeper or something. Its kinda rare up here, we don’t have accidents every single day- but when they do happen, they snarl up traffic something fierce. We all get out of the cars, start a fire, put on hot dogs and assist in the rescue operation, maybe get in a little fly fishin if the river is near.
I'm only partly kidding.
The power company decided that some exceptionally huge pine trees on my property had to come down and when the crew finally came out, the VERY first thing they did was set up the grill. At 7 AM. That made my week, so VTish.

It was being grown in an abandoned mine in Manitoba (seriously) but there have been some serious complaints about quality and handling.
THC free hemp is also grown here for fiber and oil but that is in large commercial farming operations. It really does grow like a weed. The fiber is used for various things including clothing iirc. The oil is used both as a health food supplement and for cosmetics. I suspect you could probably run a diesel on it but I that is just supposition on my part.

Maybe but I have my doubts.
The city was built on a swamp in the middle of a flood plain (former glacial lake bottom). Years of spraying has eliminated most natural predators while the slightest amount of rain can create millions of breeding location in and around the city.
On the plus side there have never been cases of malaria or yellow fever that I know of yet.

Phillipines
and the Indonisean countries. Went to one of my Dad’s high school reuinons. Since they were all 50’s and older we hung out with the “grandson” of one of the alumni that we knew. She was (just retired) a missonary to the Phillipines which is where the “grandson” Ian was from; and the nurse at the school after she graduated. She also was a babysitter to my dad. The place we were at was lake front and had a dock. While the old folk went into a building for something or rather. This was the begining of July. And Ian was slapping mosquitoes right out of the air. Don’t think he miss even 1.

Completely different weather there. Can be in the 20s-10s and never snow because rain is so little there. Although, the same could go for here since we haven’t had rain in 2-3 months.

Seriously speaking, I have a feeling Payton is gonna want to get the running game going to set up play action, anything to try and get that guy in your secondary to hesitate. Plus (I don’t know the statistics for this) anytime we have the run game, we win 9 times out of 10.

even with our banged up D-line its still going to be very hard to run on our D with Ivory and a possible 50% Reggie Bush, the Steelers run D is now slightly more mortal now without Mr. Smith

To me the biggest difference maker in this game is the O-line. They are massively talented and I wouldn’t take another line over them. But they have been sub par this year. No protection for Brees, no getting to the second level for our RBs. If they come to play we have a chance.

that’s what I’m banking on for how our D performs, if we take advantage of your O-line and get to Brees the rest will fall in place, hopefully good’ol Dick Lebeau shows a bit of his hand this game and pull some things out of his sleeve for Brees

Trust me
You’re not going to be able to run on the Steelers. We’ve already proved it. The “best” running back in the NFL couldn’t get anymore then 50 yards.
Good luck trying, I suppose.

CJ is not the best RB
He is an inefficient runner that racks up fantasy points. His average just looks good because he can break one for a TD and is so fast they can’t catch him. Although I do get your point.

Maybe so but...

It’s OK, though. Many a team have smoked the Steelers’ defense with no semblance of a running game.

Question on Will Smith.
Will actually grew up and played High School ball in my area, Proctor High in Utica, NY.
Just wondering what the overall impression of Will is in Nola. If I remember, he is a captain, so he has to be a locker room leader, unless I’m wrong. Is he active in the area? A good community guy? He’s repping my home down there, so I’m hoping he’s doing it right.
I know it’s not a very hard hitting Q for your A’ing, but I was curious.
I have not yet begun to procrastinate.
If I remember, he is a captain
Who would make this guy captain of anything?

off topic but
I was visiting New Orleans last year when the NY Jets came to town and let me tell you the good folks of the Crescent City rolled out the red carpet for those loud-mouthed S.O.B.s fans. “Welcome Jets Fans” signs in windows and an all around feeling of good sportsmanship.
I’m sure that Steelers fans will have fun there, but, with halloween in the voodoo capital, leave your Ben Roethlisberger action figures at home.
A Halloween game is so appropriate
between our teams! Let’s face it… NO and Steeler Nation have some “beliefs” in superstitions and timely intervention by higher powers. The rest of the league scoffs at this (to their own peril) and ours may well be the only 2 teams that subscribe to supernatural forces that play. (The power of Renegade, etc)
Of course we have supernatural Troy Polamalu… James Harrison… LaMarr Brings-the-Wood Woodley…and of course; Mr. Redman, Mr. Ward and Mr. Ben. Everyone can see them, though; so they’re not a big secret.
We have another weapon though, supernatural and very powerful. Voodoo Pittsburgh style. His name is Cope and for the past couple of years…..he has the best seat in the house, looking over his beloved Steelers and waving his own Terrible Towel. Small in stature he may have been…..but a mountain of a man in heart, love for his City and his Steelers.
Our “voodoo’s” will clash this Hallows Eve…. The Terrible Towel is poised to strike! What is NO’s secret weapon??
(Wish you the best and may both of our teams emerge healthy! The above was just for fun…this, however is a sincere wish)
