Matt39 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 When did he turn into Mark Bavaro? Whispers among the Steeler fan base would suggest he's freakin Kellen Winslow. He's a solid tough player, but he doesnt exactly keep DC's up at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Funny you should mention it, I have been thinking the same thing. He's a good, tough, very physical player with some blocking and receiving skills. I would like to have him on my team. With that said, he's not Antonio Gates. He doesn't require special scheming.

Vudu Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Every player on the Steelers are awesome according to the talking heads on ESPN. Troy Polamalu and his gimpy achilles is going to dominate us by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Its true that with Polamalu and Miller the Steelers probably would have beat us in Week 15. But if we play like we did against New England, only divine intervention could prevent us from getting to the Super Bowl. And I happen to believe God is on our side this year.

Irish Jet Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Miller is elite. One of the most all rounded TE's in the league. Class player who makes Keller look like Anthony Becht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiFtheOracle Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Who cares...you should see the Steelers forum I'm posting on. Every single one of their players is better than every single one of our players. You should really wonder over there...amazing some of the stuff I'm reading.

I don't think you get it. It's not that Heath Miller is so special, it's that every TE the Jets play requires special scheming. The alleged book on the Jets is that they are susceptible to TE and RB receptions over the middle. Therefore, the fact that Miller is good makes him a huge issue for the scheme. No big deal. They rely on the running game, their backs aren't great receivers. Seems like we'll see our regular D. Wonder if Randle-el will throw. He's 2 for 2 with 2 TDs.

Boozer76 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Heath Miller is good because he is above average as a receiver and very good as a blocker, thus he's on the field most of the time. This makes it hard to adjust the defense to determine if he is going to be a pass receiving option on some plays which can lead to him getting open alot. he's good, but he's nowhere near elite. He's what Becht would have been had Becht not had bricks for hands and didn't go down from a light breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he's doing better than expected. Agreed, it's unfair that, unfortunately Dreessen is inadvertently attahed to the disaster that was...the 2005 Draft. To think back...so the Jets desperately NEEDed a Tight End, right. So they trade their 26th pick for Doug Jolley which subsequently makes Nugent their first overall pick. Dreessen in turn, becomes the constellation prize in what I believe was the 6th round? Meanwhile the best TE in the draft, Mr. Miller is picked 4 slots after #26 and goes on to become a pretty good NFL TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serphnx Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 He's a fantastic blocker but he's only above average as a receiver at best. Sure he can hurt us, but the Pats TEs are actually better than him and we did okay against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he can hurt us, but the Pats TEs are actually better than him and we did okay against them. Only above average? The issue compared to the Pats is the running game. The Jets aren't going to be able to play DBs at LB and stop the Steelers from running. That means either a S or LB on Miller and those guys have been bad in coverage most of the year.

JiFtheOracle Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 don't tell me you've been whining all week that we have no chance? if so what exactly makes you feel that way? Its the Steelers. Big Ben. The D. We're the Jets. Sanchez. Just dont see it happening. Not this year. They are too good. Most of the team has won a SB, maybe 2. We have what, 3 players with SB experience, 1 not playing. Just seems like to much vs the mighty Steelers. I believe in Rex...but just cant see it happening this season. Manning, Brady, brilliant game plans...just too much to do it again vs. Ben. That leads to asking to much of Sanchez and I just dont think he's there. I hope I'm wrong.

nycdan Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 They have an O-Line with serious questions. We should be able to attack it all day and disrupt both phases of their offense.

I cant wait to kick their teeth in on Sunday;shut them up once and for all. What really pisses me off with them is they act like the most devoted fan base in the entire league, yet the minute that team hits a rough patch, they'll all probably go diving off the bandwagon. Their last real rough patch ended in the very early 70's and they've been to the playoffs on a very consistent basis since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
