What will be Pittsburgh’s biggest strength this season? Biggest Weakness?

[@ethanames4824]

Weakness- WR Room Strength- defense if healthy

[@atticusmirandola3186]

Strength - Pass Defense Weakness - Versatility in our pass game

[@davidlewis9068]

Strength is the defense. Weakness will be offensive line and quarterback play. The potential is there, but no snaps have been made either.

[@johns363]

Strength: Pass Rush Weakness : Head Coach

[@rononeil8250]

Weekness=receiver. Strength =defense

[@trentlathem9743]

Steelers will be a top 5 team this season

[@elbob17]

Just relax. We understand you're all excited but dial it back.

[@AndyBbtw]

@@elbob17lol who's we? What's your take on the steelers upcoming season?

[@dankehrig3419]

If you think Steelers be top 5 with Russell Wilson on that team you've been greatly misled!!! Unless the Steelers trade for Dak Prescott they'll been mid 20$ team.

[@AndyBbtw]

@@dankehrig3419 yea keep hittin that pipe buddy

[@josephdonovan9125]

​@@AndyBbtwThis guy really said Dak Prescott the king of done nothing in his career 😂

[@WVron247_steelersstud1]

Steelers will surprise so many people this year. We have so much awesomeness added to the wicked core we had in place with TJ,Cameron,Alex. We tough AF now.

[@taylortancrede9668]

JPJ, Johnson, Sutton, minkah, elliott as our secondary 💪💪💪 mlbs queen Holcomb with what I think will be the steal of the draft and has a chance for dpoy in Payton wilsonnnn!!! Bruh our defense gonna smack people this year. Cam and TJ surrounded by elite players everywhere… yesssirrrr!!!

[@KyleWease]

I agree with the strengths but the weakness I would include the offensive line because it's so young.

[@shawnevans1444]

Still need a true WR2 to make this team bulletproof.

[@dmsawyer]

still need a wr to to emerge ...we don't need to buy one

[@matts2906]

I think Roman Wilson in the slot could legitimately be that guy, the Steelers haven’t thrown to the middle of the field in years, with Russel Wilson and Artur smith along with friermuth I think they could really have a spread out receiver core

[@shawnevans1444]

I think Patrick Wilson should go ahead and start in the middle with Queen cause he is a freak of nature. Go with the Patrick's! 👊💪💯

[@dmsawyer]

nope Roberts is a massive thumper that's what they need inside

[@TheFactsMob]

His name is PAYTON WILSON goofy smh 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@LilSlush]

@@dmsawyeru know ball

[@darrellw3728]

Double tight end sets and a run 1st offense... A blocking possesssion type WR, I get it, I don't understand the need for a high dollar 1-1a WR. Friermuth across the middle, Pickens deep 50/50's and running to whatever side Jones and Washington are on. Hell, if Roman Wilson has a beer with Hines Ward a couple times, maybe he could emerge as a solid tough #2 WR.

[@purity6sic6mc]

My thoughts exactly 💯. I'm not giving up on the WR room we have. Why sign another big name when you know they want paid and they're the number 1 WR. Why do that when we have Pickens already and will eventually need to pay him. How I see it is why would we fuck that all up? For what? A flashy name? Nah I'm good with what we have. We do have a very capable WR room. I'm still in on Roman Wilson ending up becoming our WR2. But hey that's my opinion, I'm sure someone won't agree. But you know what? That is cool, I love hearing someone else's perspective. It's all love And LET'S GO STEELERS!!!

[@danielk673]

I think the biggest X factor is the offensive line. If the offensive line plays well, the running game will do good. If the running game does good, Russell Wilson does good and the offense scores. As much as I'll agree the WR position is a weakness, the WR position doesn't take into account Freiermuth who I think will have a standout season. Freiermuth might be the most important player in the passing game since he can own the middle of the field and take someone away from Pickens.

[@rononeil8250]

Agreed

[@leegoddard9868]

I believe Roman Wilson could be a very strong number. Two wide receiver. He's got speed. Great hands and knowledge of the game

[@dmsawyer]

he is not better than Austin ...but lets not argue having Wilson Austin and Pickens is going to work fine because we have a TE in PF who is going to see massive targets

[@leegoddard9868]

@@dmsawyer Yes I do like Austin a lot. I was disappointed last year that they did not get him more involved. He's the fastest man on the team

[@mikeborgmann]

No....he might be a solid 3 guy. Slot receiver only

[@leegoddard9868]

@@mikeborgmann You should have seen him in college. He can make some amazing catches and he has good hands. Good speed and football savvy. I think you'll be a number two unless they pick somebody else up, that you cannot overlook Austin with his blazing speed. He could have a breakout season this year

[@chocboywunda]

Mike clay is wrong as usual. The Steelers always get the WR position right, Pickens will be a top 5 receiver, Austin will be #2 Wilson will be situational and punt return. Punt returning is how you earn your way on the field

[@Car_ter]

You know I’d wager that our rookie O-lineman have a better chance to be a non weak spot on the line. They have the best pass rush in the league to practice against

[@fumbled]

With the two guys from Georgia last year and loading up on the offensive line this year, I think the Steelers running backs are going to be money in fantasy leagues this season.

[@altowatts1325]

Russell Wilson will be fine this season. He still has top tier arm talent and deep pass accuracy. I see Russ throwing 35 to 45 touchdowns against 8-11 interceptions, 3,500 to 4,000 yards. 72% completion percentage and he'll be top 5 in touchdown passes, completion percentage and passer rating. And yes, Pittsburgh going 12-5 is a real thing this season. And the Steelers might make 13-4 into a reality. If Pittsburgh's defense plays to their abilities then Pittsburgh is bringing home The Lombardi Trophy 🏆 this year.

[@Junglejoeey]

I dont even wanna be that optimistic. I think we could win the division with 30 tds and 10 int. Defense stays healthy we only need 3 tds per game and we will be very run heavy I assume

[@SteelersAlmighty]

Mike Clay needs to watch more Steelers. He doesnt even know our base defense in 3-4

This Steelers WR group is similar to what they had when they was going to SB and deep playoff runs in mid 2000s . Pickens is like Holmes, Austin is Randel El , Wilson could be Hines Ward type of player lmao

The biggest factor for a great season for the Steelers is health. They will dominate if they stay healthy!

[@rodneygreen9352]

I'll say biggest strength is gonna be in the trenches O-Line & D-Line I really don't think dey gonna have no weak link though 🤞🏾💪🏾🖤💛

[@paulsenzig9097]

Before training camp and see how things go, I'd say the steelers are top twelve

[@dougberry4535]

I don't think they need another number one receiver they need a possession receiver who can get open and get them first downs.

[@davinkeeleyrealestate]

What’s are budget for a wr2 for a one year deal? 12m?

[@OffsidesEdits]

17 million, Steelers could make cuts to make around 32mil

[@michaelwaters1003]

Steelers have top 8 now top 5 with receiver upgrade

[@GaryGilbert-tz8sw]

My final comment, B4 we go to training camp and pre season, 2 signings should be made to complete a Super Bowl quality roster. Sign WR Micheal Thomas for the final offensive piece, and bring back Markus Golden as the final defensive piece. We have have all the other pieces needed, currently on the roster it's now just about cutting it down to the best 53 players to make the team, and I expect both Micheal and Markus to be on the 53 players list. And everybody can play their part and nobody takes productivity from what the others are trying to accomplish, and we will win player to player, most of the time, and the victories will come. GO STEELERS!!!!!

[@paulsenzig9097]

Strength, I think special teams weakness. Unfortunately I gotta go with wide receiver

[@mrsnoopyaaaaa]

Steelers are going to be a strong team. They’re going to win one playoff game. They gotta make a couple of trades with the patriots for one of their offense of lineman.

[@michaelbooth4998]

ANSWER: I believe that if Rooney's PUSH causes Mike, Omar & Art to continue towards SB '24 '25 NOW, Championship with rings all around then they will deploy the STEELHOUSE NewDayNewWay PlazmaWelding. Jus will be on the field with Russ as a passing RB. This is a deadly unpredictable weapon that confuses opponents so much that there will be anger in the League. Its gonna take allot of cojones to adopt & execute a dual QB offense. Long shot but possible.

[@jamesbradshawpyro4127]

Top 5

[@JuDon220]

Also, you’re pronouncing his name wrong. It’s not four syllables. It’s three.

[@rodneygreen9352]

T.J. needs to stay healthy and play every game! Please TJ.

Top 10 team

[@petergavin4307]

Steelers biggest strength the run game Biggest weakness quarterback if Russell doesnt play well we in trouble

[@JuDon220]

What I don’t get is, how can you even sit here and talk about any of this when the season haven’t even begin yet you can’t sit here and say what the teams weakness is. If the season hasn’t started, we are going based off of last year you can’t even say what their weaknesses are even with the roster now because they haven’t played together as a team yet so I’m not saying anything about this until I see them actually play together in their first preseason game

[@clockwork443]

This is the comment I've been looking for 💯💯💯

[@JuDon220]

[@SleezyGM]

Fire intro

[@matts2906]

This is the first season in about 5 years that I’m really excited about, I could go on and on but their OL looks like a real line, and I’ll bet money that Payton Wilson is going to be an absolute beast, I’ve only seen a handful of players that play like their hair is on fire and Payton Wilson is one of them, I also think Roman Wilson is going to be one of the most underrated receivers and help to let Pickens explode. And then they stole Patrick Queen from Baltimore 😂 and possibly the biggest addition was removing Matt Canada! I’m impressed by the Steelers offseason to say the least

[@mrgamerrc8055]

[@DMac215]

I don't think people(reporters/analyst) believe the steelers are that bad,they really don't trust Russ and the steelers back half of the schedule is crazy

[@dqmiller2532]

The Steelers have a top 10 team ...how is it you're top 14 I'm speaking from the 7 in each conference that makes the playoffs last season and got better quarterback play & linebacker play with middle linebacker Patrick Queen plus Nick Herbig had an off-season to rest and train for 2nd year to 18th

[@recoparson3923]

I think 18 is fair theres alot of question marks at quarterback wide receiver and in the secondary . No one really knows how the offense is gonna look and just cause patrick queen is a good line backer doesn't mean he'll be good for the steelers so like i said way too many question marks 18 is fair

[@Ghost-304]

Steelers have brutal schedule this year it’s no cake walk . Liek last year having one of the easiest schedules in the NFL, I’m huge Steelers fan just like rest but it’s brutal 8 games will be hard to win This year . Don’t say we won blah blah last year with 3 QBs yea that was with easier schedule in nFl lol

[@KingdyseanGreene]

Yeah

[@Almightypowerful]

Look it's about the offensive line if you give Russell Wilson and very good offensive line he will and can win a super bowl. Tom Brady was the most under paid elite quarterback in the lead,becuz he took a pay cut just to keep a good offensive line and that got him 7 super bowls.

[@thoreljorel6595]

Top 3

[@Dre118]

How would they be top 5 with only one decent wide receiver? If the #1 gets double teamed and I'm sure he will... Who the hell is gonna catch the ball? I hope I'm wrong but 18 probably will be about right.

[@bradleywoolard7039]

Top 3 defense Top 13 offense

[@Shhh...theMoon]

All of the hand wringing over the wide receiver corp is getting to be old. Look, if we have a healthy Friermuth for the season, he can open things up for everyone else. Look what Kansas City did without premier wide receivers.If Russell and Friermuth can find some chemistry, everything will be OK. Just pause and take a deep breath, everyone.

[@charlesbrombach7325]

Need to drop that Nike shirt

[@Ghost-304]

Everyone thinks Steelers will win 10 plus games this year since they made playoffs with 3 QBs last year that’s true when they had one of easiest schedule in NFL, this year they have top 3 toughest in NFL. It’s going be brutal not settling for no Wild Card that’s old . Time to win division and get home playoff games

[@Ghost-304]

Why is Steelers WR weakness. Pickens , Muth, Austin possibly Roman Wilson , the Steelers WR is great just need a QB to get them the ball and offense coach to call plays down field it’s not rocket science.

Rather it be wr than a horindous o line

[@MartMart-r9f]

And the weakest is the receivers but I don't think they will finish in that position

[@SB_Ghost13]

Defense is strong but the offense isn't. I can see 15-20. If the oline doesn't play well above average Wilson will have a horrible season. The x factor isn't wilson it is 100% the oline.

[@moneyqtv4308]

Top 2 & it’s Not 2

[@lacasadelfutbol6267]

1 competitive team but next year have to improve your defensive line 2 please dont make a false hope on Steelers, they may win 13 games but they may win just 7, we dont know who Is going to be injured and who Is going to have they worst season of his life ... Each off season Steelers media overestimates they potential to get some clicks ... Lets be real, its a great team but there a lot of questions rookis at O line, Cam Heiwars health, QB development, WR succes, O coordinator succes, Donte Jackson succes, even Patrick Queen, Dont forget the offense curent even stay on the field, a lot of 3 AND out ... Be real
