Antonio Brown posted a video in the locker room on his Facebook. Was just recording with his phone while Tomlin was talking lol. Can hear Tomlin say "we spotted those assholes a day and a half" when talking about the Pats.

Can't WAIT for this game.

I see Tomlin is already getting his excuses ready.

Cool, let's talk about the match up then. How do you figure Pittsburgh will be able to contain the offense? Do they have a monstrous interior pass rush? Will they lock down the receivers with their mediocre secondary? How will they stop our pass catching RBs and our TEs, when they've had trouble doing it all season long?

Pitt's D is very underrated, especially since Bud Dupree came along

Harrison and Dupree can create pressure, as shown tonight against a decent Offensive Line. I wouldn't be so sure to throw them aside and say they have no pass rush. And yes their secondary is mediocre, but certainly above average.

This will not be again easy game. Will be one score I think. Still believe the Pats are clearly the better team and home field, plus a bonus day of rest and not having to travel back and forth twice, is another plus.

If we beat Steelers and packers it will be more impressive than 2004 because we are going to be playing the refs in both games

Here we go . . .

nor is it the Texans D

7
They have playmakers

I think they will employ what they did in week 7. Force us to run blount by playing a lot of nickel and dime. Thats how they kept up in the game that time. Of course lewis now gives us another dimension but they dont need to worry about gronk. Pats really need to take the run and stick with it. If i were them i would really double edelman on every 3rd down.

Their LBs can be attacked with Lewis and White, as they aren't very good in coverage. And as you said, Lewis makes our rushing attack even more of a threat, and both he and Blount will make them pay if they're constantly in nickel or dime.

The thing that gives me the most confidence is that they likely won't be able to generate much pressure without blitzing, and if they do blitz, Brady will pick them apart. They really don't have any of the ingredients do be successful against Brady - i.e. a strong interior pass rush or a strong secondary.

That's what people call "garbage time"

Not if you win the game lol..

They don't create much pressure with the front 4. They'll need to blitz, which I'm sure Brady will welcome.

lol theres some naked dudes in this video. Brown just captured everything in that lockerroom.

 

[gitgronked82]

i'll be very confident as long as butler doesn't have sauce on his face.

Tuitt, Harrison, Shazier, Dupree, and Mitchell on the back end provide some decent talent and experience. Harrison obviously provides a vocal leadership presence, reminiscent of a guy like Ray Lewis and their '13 run.

I agree with those who say the secondary is a weaker area that can be exploited, but don't get it twisted, this is a physical defense who will be pumped up, playing with a chip on their shoulders, and looking for revenge.

This is impressive stuff... but if you remember last season, we were all bragging how Brady owned Wade Phillips-coached defenses throughout his career, until that all changed in the Denver game in December (and later the AFC championship game)

And if they had 5 healthy offensive players that game they STILL would have owned him. They lost by 2 freakin points. God I'm tired of the mythification of that AFCCG. We lost in a game we were crippled. We don't have a single offensive lineman that is playing the same position he played in that game. Volmer and Cannon don't play that game if it wasn't the playoffs.. Edelman was hobbled, No Hogan, No Lewis, No LBG, No Bennett. No Floyd. If you aren't a talk show host or caller, that game ceased being relevant the moment it was over.
