Coach Talk

Hill Street Blues II
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Steeler Nation at the wide receiver position (22.7 points to 9.1).
Steeler Nation
Yo, Steeler Nation, what did your receiving crew do to tick off their quarterbacks this week? With just seven targets combined in Week 7, our three wide receivers clearly need to get the attention of their respective offensive coordinators this week in practice.
