SCB Steelers Quick Hitters: The “Nitpicking” Edition

Good Friday to you Steelers fans.

There is a video clip making the rounds from last week that shows Ben Roethlisberger getting sacked. Sam Hubbard beats Chuks Okorafor after seeing Big Ben slide up in the pocket. After Seven gets dumped, Chuks looks down at him and over at Hubbard who is celebrating, turns and heads towards the sideline. Apparently because Chuks doesn’t help Roethlisberger up, some are taking this as a sign of disrespect or anger or dislike towards the quarterback. To my knowledge, Big Ben has said nothing about this. Zach Banner apparently wasn’t thrilled but overall is this really a big deal? Or… Is it something that teams that are losing struggle to deal with? In other words, when you aren’t playing well, everything gets nitpicked to death. I feel pretty confident that Chuks was just pissed off and frustrated. Even if he was dissing his QB then that’s a poor look for any O-lineman. This is what we deal with when things aren’t going well.

Check out my weekly mailbag. Published yesterday, there are some great questions I’m forced to ponder this week!

Pro Bowl

Voting for the 2022 NFL Pro Bowl is now underway. You can vote for all of your favorite Steelers by clicking this link right here. I’m of the opinion that Chris Boswell, Cam Heyward, Diontae Johnson and T.J. Watt should 100% be on their way to this game.
