DK's Daily Shot of Steelers: Sacks vs. pressures? Please 

I totally agree with you DK. I would love for you to have the TJ discussion with Matt Williamson on air. He thinks Garrett is better. All the tape I watched says TJ. There are too many times where I wonder, if Garrett is on the field.

Morning DK, yeah how many times do we see QB's under pressure deliver a strike for a td ( not talking about the recent Steelers obviously). If you get the sack not only are you losing yardage, you lose a down , but the QB isn't making one of those highlight td throws. It's preposterous to argue it's a better outcome. Thanks DK as always best content on the format , keep it up !

Matt Williamson made this argument on his show a few weeks ago. He openly said Myles Garrett is a better defender than TJ because of that very stat line. It’s garbage and it’s an “almost” type of statistic. “Almost” doesn’t truly disrupt a play every time, but a sack does. I would rather see my team and players get the sack and not cheer for “almost” type of plays. You said it yourself, Chris Collinsworth”less” is the epicenter of PFF and he hates the Steelers. The AFC North (Central) bad blood runs deep and this is just another way to “stick it to the Steelers” by an angry former Bungel. IMO.

Gm DK love the daily shot of Steelers

You just FINALLY made it make sense for me about PFF. I have been saying for YEARS PFF was ran by a bunch of Browns fans from Ohio 😩

With the pass rush win rate, wouldn't that also have to include the amount of time The quarterback held on to the ball.

So on point DK!!! This argument is so ridiculous…..

The fact that you think we don’t know who kyle Allen is throws me off. We listen to your show every day and you think we don’t know these things. That’s wild

I just want to to say thank you to everyone at DK Sports, Authur Moat & Deke, and all the good folks in all those chat groups. With all the mental health issues I deal with you just can’t begin to understand how much you’ve helped me. These podcast and chat members have felt more like family than my own. I appreciate all the positivity, fun, and conversations. You just don’t realize think positive impact you’ve had on me with the daily challenges I face. So many nights I wake up from nightmares and my brain doesn’t calm down at 3:00am, but I feel better after listening to daily shot of Steelers. Ramon, Moats, Deke, Chris, Corey, Matt, TG, and the people put a smile always put a smile on my face while I live the most miserable life ever. You have all been a beyond awesome to me. I will miss you all. Peace and go Steelers. Deke I have someone that will be bringing you the Masters merch I promised you.

Pressures, some guy that COULD be DPOY. Sacks, some guy that SHOULD be DPOY.

Completely agree with you on TJ over Garrett hiwever im bewildered that Matt Williamson thinks otherwise

2018 UDFA QB #3 (or #2)? Kyle Allen has a 7-12 record as a starter & was considered the league's 20th best backup by CBS Sports in 2023 (How do you measure that)? 🤣 Happy 4th of July! Don't leave dogs in the backyard tonight

By just looking at the title, I feel like this is a direct response to Matt Williamson hahaha

DK started with Violence today 😂💪🏾

DK the clarification that TJ that TJ is HANDS DOWN the best is so evident go highlight for highlight or just production and impact he does it all at a top tier level and then some.

Anyhoo, have a happy and safe 4th of July. Come back with all of your extremities!! 🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I agree DK, T.J Watt is the best player on the planet ! We have seen pressure's that do not work, but we also seen where they do work. There is so much that goes into that. I love T.J. Watt. Three more weeks DK, I feel the tension in the air. My goodness DK great show. Have a great day

Kyle Allen has experience and if by some unfortunate situation he had to play in a game he could for sure be serviceable. I’m not saying I’m confident in him playing as a multiple game starter but I wouldn’t be scared to death if he had to play a small percentage of snaps in 2024. I think bringing Allen in as a 3rd was a solid move on the Steelers part.

Many great quarterbacks (those you see in the playoffs and in the afc north) can get the ball to a guy on a broken play when pressured. Its hard to do that when lying on their back 5 yards behind the line. Sacks are more important to me. Theyre a guaranteed loss of down as well

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇲

Kyle Allen 😮😮😮

TELL THIS TO MATTY BOY!!!

Wonder what the analytics tell us about the correlation between pressures and INT’s (or completion %). Maybe it’s more impactful (b/c pick-6) than a drive killing Sack. (Obviously strip sack is most impactful.)

Dk smoking on that M. Garette pack😂😂😂

On base % vs a hitter who gets a good pitch count per at bat.

So, Dejan, I understand from the comments that you're responding to Matt Williams and his reasoning for placing Pressures over Sacks. My take is that someone from PFF slipped Matt some of their kool-aid without him knowing.

does the pressure stat still count if the pass was completed? I couldn't find that info in a brief internet search.

This is such an absurd discussion. Anyone who thinks pressures should carry more weight than sacks should go watch some film on young Ben Roethlisberger. How many times was Ben pressured, only to escape and make a big play downfield? A sack ends the play and frequently ends in a turnover.

After last year, I don't pay PFF ANY attention & no1 else should either. They're the reason Myles got DPOY when he wasn't even top 5

4th of July content !!!

Oh DK this is a sore spot for me. I don't understand it? I have watched a lot of touchdowns scored over the years by Steelers opponents where as the qb threw the ball right as he was getting hit by everybody from LC Greenwood to TJ Watt. Not one time ever have not only have a seen an offensive touchdown when the qb was sacked!!! Maybe because sacks actually end the play with a loss of yardage. They are far more fun to watch than pressures. And I think Myles Garrett just got another one. No loss of yardage tho. " a pressure " 🙄 That's almost a sack!! Go Steelers!!

DK... what does Russ have to do to play himself into a contract with the Steelers? Is winning a playoff game enough or does he have to go to the AFC championship game/super bowl to warrent the kinda money he is going to want?

Kyle allen is #3

Miles “Almost Gotcha” Garrett

If the Steelers had the top player who provided the most pressures, then sacks would be what's most important.

As long as we get in the QBs head, I don't care if we ever touch their jersey. ❤️🔥🍻

The Steelers #3 QB is Kyle Allen right? Or am I tripping?

Let's not forget that getting to go against Dan Moore Jr. twice a year artificially inflates Myles Garrett's stats.

I had high hopes for Jarvis and Devon, for that matter. You can't make it in the NFL based on college production. There is no Vanderbilt or North Western here.

Kyle Allen. Did not have to look before answering.

Kyle Allen lol

Kyle Allen. Without lookin’ it up.

Kyle Allen

Carson Palmer

Know what a qb’s passer rating is when he’s sacked? 0 Completion rate -0 First downs when getting a sack -0

Matt Williamson says the same nonsense as PFF and for the life of me I don't get it!! No one in maybe history affects the game in the forth quarter or late in the game that affects the outcome of the game like TJ Watt Period....

Lmao you said Jamies existed like he’s not in our division now lol

You're using Jarvis Jones as a contrary example again. I have no idea how many pressures he had in college but the man led the SEC in sacks for 2 years ! He had the production ! He was, in fact, beating the man in front of him. This wasn't leading Div III in sacks, this was the SEC at it's (arguably) most dominant !

I don’t listen to Matt Williamson for this exact reason. If you are gonna say you know anything about this game, then in the next sentance say Myles is better then TJ cant mess wit yu

Lots of people who need to take a statistics class before they go spouting off.

I can agree with you all day long but what really matters is your fellow MEDIA. The ones that atually vote for DPOY. Ridiculous that the guy that actually wins gets overlooked for a guy that almost wins more often. There is no way the people that are voting should be voting after this last years crap show. There needs to be standards not propaganda and lies. So go talk to your fellow media people.

TJ WATT SHOULD BE A 3 TIME D.P.O.Y the fact that he's not is why people don't listen to the media anymore. P.F.F is overrated and easily skewed

Besides having NO business in an NFL huddle as a QB, Fields' contract ensures that he is useless in a trade situation.
