Steelers vs. Jaguars, Preseason Week 1: 1st Half news, updates and open thread
It is hard to believe, but this is the third Pittsburgh Steelers season for us in our new home, and it’s as exciting in Year 3 as it was in Year 1. However, this is also the first season with our new-look website, which I’m really excited about! However, with that comes some curiosity, and trepidation, about what this new home will look like during games.
Last season we started off slow, but these open threads during games became more and more lively as the season progressed. We are hoping we pick up right where we left off in 2023 and get some great participation in these game day open threads. If there is a desire/need for quarterly open threads in the regular season, I’ll be more than happy to make that adjustment.
This is the 1st half open thread for the Steelers vs. Jaguars, Week 1 preseason game.
In the meantime, stay tuned to SCN for the latest news and notes surrounding the Steelers, and enjoy the upcoming game vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1 of the NFL preseason!
Here we go!
Here we go!! I’ll try to check in periodically, but hope everyone enjoys the gameday experience with the new site!
Trying to find a steelers feed. Nothing better than football….nothing worse than the preseason feed from the other team.
I know my NFL+ stream is behind, but oh well
Listening on Sirius channel 826.
That was Thornhill, not Castro with the hit
Good rally to the tackle on 3rd down
Yes it was.
Nice job of our 2nd and 3rd team D keeping a starting O out of the end zone.
Also remember it’s a fist time OFFENSIVE head coach who was probably doing/showing more than typical in the preseason.
Was that most of their first string?
Jacksonville played everyone
Thanks
Come on coach, weaponize Darnell!!
They finally did, JoeB
Gimme more! Get the big diesel rollin coal!
Sorry Redman33, That was supposed to be a new post.
No worries.
Wilson with a big grab.
Give me more play action pass!
Rudolph picking them apart.
Love seeing a tough 3rd dwn run to pick up the first
Woohoo!
DWASH!!
Washington lined up next to Jones on every (?) play that series. Jones looked like he was being walked backwards on the TD pass.
As long as his guy isn’t running around him untouched and flattening the QB, I’m good.
That’s a top EDGE guy in the NFL (ranked 13th in 2024). “Walking back” is not that bad.
Yes there was a hands to the face, but the o-line has been giving Rudolph tons of time.
I’m so glad the Steelers have Mt. Washington. That’s how you use the big man!
Still looks slow off the line, but he will be very hard to cover once he gets moving.
Kick coverage needs work.
Was about to type the same thing!
My sound went out. Anybody else?
Back now
Mine too, but it’s back now
Back now
The Boys are back. Here we go!
This is the first open thread since we updated the site and had this comment system. Thoughts on how it’s working?
Pretty smooth, just wish the “Newest/Oldest” comment toggle would save your preference
I usually want oldest on everything else. I switch to newest for this.
Same, for open threads especially I like Newest. I don’t have as much of a preference for regular articles.
Each time I refresh this thread though, it automatically switches me back to “Oldest” though.
You shouldn’t have to refresh. The new comments come up automatically. I haven’t refreshed it at all. Anyone else?
Yep, I have to refresh.
Seems good so far.
Works pretty well so far!
Good stop D.
He held that ball forever.
Gotta take the dumpoff there. I’m listening so I couldn’t see the coverage.
Johnson dropping that ball on 2nd down gave them no chance on 3rd.
Another good job getting off the field D.
Good PBU by Echols
Who got blown up on that run?
Corliss Waitman costs how much less than Johnston…?
Johnston has 2 years left on his contract so there is a good bit of dead money. But half would be next year. So it would be $2.5 million savings with Waitman costing $1.1 million.
Waitman is gonna make them think about it. Hard.
I prefer Waitman. Younger, and I like a left footed punter.
They seem to be picking on Beanie Bishop…
G’day legends… feels good to be back for another season of Stiller football! Loved seeing big Mt Worshington over the middle for the TD!
2 minutes, three time outs, ball on the 26, let’s go!
They probably need 1 more 1st down before they really start going for it.
And there it is. Now go!
My thoughts- first team O line gave Rudolph tons of time.
– Roman Wilson looks good
-Kaleb Johnson looks kind of slow and timid
-I like the play calling by Arthur smith
Hurleman! The camp phenom strikes!
Great TD… better backflip!
Wished I could see it. Have to catch it on the highlights…
It’s not about winning a preseason game. But seeing the 4 min offense give way to 2 min offense and do what they did was impressive.
It’s obvious how much they rep that scenario in camp.
70 yard field goal…WTF.
Wow. 70 yards.
Glad this is preseason because I’m happy for that kicker.
Hats off to the kid!
To think, I almost left the room for halftime…70yrds?!!
70yd fg to end the half… looked like he made it with a few yds to spare… that boy must of had the Happy Gilmore surgery on his leg!
