My initial takeaways after the Steelers' loss to the Ravens on Wild Card Weekend: ⬇️

- You can see my thoughts on Mike Tomlin here:- See my thoughts on Russell Wilson here:- If I had to guess right now, I would guess George Pickens is NOT on the Steelers roster in Week 1 of next season. He seems fed up with the lack of offensive success here in the Burgh collectively and individually after hist first 3 seasons here, & I think the Steelers will oblige an eventual trade request this offseason to kickstart a full reset at the WR position next year.

- The simple fact is that the Steelers front in this game was not worth the money this organization has thrown at them. They gave up over 300 yards rushing, and what should be the most dominant pass rush in the game barely got into Lamar's grill at all.

- I know he had 5 picks this year due to being in the right place at the right time, but I just don't see how the Steelers can bring back Donte Jackson next year. His coverage ability, particularly in man, was just not where it needed to be, and IMO, PIT needs to be looking into solidifying that CB room this offseason with a legit piece to pair with JPJ on the outside.

- I am very concerned about this O-Line group heading into next season because I'm expecting it to look largely the same as it did this year down the stretch, only with Broderick likely at LT and Fautanu at RT. With the way it's currently constructed, there will be 3 MAJOR question marks on that unit heading into the year, and if Pat Meyer is back as O-Line coach, count me as skeptical PIT hits on all 3 of those question marks.

- I would expect this Steelers offense to look quite different next year with the defense looking largely the same personnel-wise, especially if Tomlin is back, which I think he will be. On offense, PIT could have a new starting QB, a new featured RB, and a completely reshuffled WR room, whereas in classic Tomlin fashion, a large amount of the money will remain on defense with maybe only 2 or 3 new starters on defense next year being added.

Time to get this offseason on the road...it's gonna be an interesting one, yinz...
