clt says highsmith with the forced fumble
Alex dang near won this game by myself for the Steelers.
Larry, Alex, TJ, Minkah, Kenny Montana
No more calling him Alex Smith or Robin, although he was definitely robbing Watson, while avoiding Watsonâs inappropriate rubbing! Itâs no longer Batman and Robin for Watt and Highsmith! Itâs Batman and Superman
Someone put a stop watch on Alex Highsmithâs pass rush here? I am unofficially counting like 3.6 seconds to strip? I am not seeing 49ers edge rushers getting to the QBâs like Alex here. Maybe #0, but did he finish? What I am seeing are 49ers edge rushers hand fighting or trying to bull rush tackles without good production against the pass. If none of our edge rushers can clear tackle like Alex did in this strip sack, then they are not who they were advertised to be by the coach. If they can, then the coaches need to scheme and teach them how to produce with sacks and turnovers.
Unnecessary censorship yet again.
You posted Highsmith highlights in the Florida game thread.
clt says alex needs a mahomes like raise already
Highsmith absolutely lit it up last night.
If Alex was like any other player in the NFL, he be like, âyeah I know I just signed that new deal last month but I want to renegotiateâ Alex has shown to be a man of his word, he played in pre season, OTAâs etc⌠while his manager worked out an extension. No distractions etcâŚ

- Hello, Larry
Larry Ogunjobi didnât take it upon himself to singlehandedly replace Cam Heyward in the Steelersâ first game without their defensive captain.
It just looked that way.
While playing nearly 60% of the defensive snaps, Ogunjobi had four tackles, one sack and a fumble recovery while trying to plug the interior of the defense in Heywardâs absence. Heyward will miss about two months after undergoing surgery on his groin.
Ogunjobi set the tone on Clevelandâs second drive. Trailing 7-3, the Browns had just intercepted Kenny Pickett and had a first down at the Steelers 19 when Ogunjobi brought down Deshaun Watson for a 7-yard loss. Ogunjobi also provided pressure on a third-down pass that was incomplete, and Dustin Hopkins pushed a 43-yard field goal attempt wide left.
Late in the quarter, Ogunjobi recovered a fumble when Montravius Adams dislodged the ball from Watsonâs grasp on a fourth-and-1 run. Watson initially was credited with the first down only to have the fumble acknowledged after a lengthy replay review.
Ogunjobi smiled and politely deferred a question about his motivation facing the Browns, who selected him in the third round of the 2017 draft. Whether he was inspired against his former team, Ogunjobi provided a veteran presence on a defensive line that needed it in the wake of Heywardâs injury.
Now if the Steelers can only figure out how to stop the run after giving up 188 and 198 yards on the ground in successive weeks.
Alex, Larry and Kenny Montana had GREAT games in LA; going 4-2. P Uli.
