The team announced Wednesday it will wear replica jerseys of the 1978 and 1979 clubs that won back-to-back Super Bowls when the Steelers host the
Cleveland Browns on Oct. 28. Team president Art Rooney II said the choice of
using the '78-79 jersey was fitting. The franchise will spend the next two
seasons honoring the 40th anniversary of the teams that pushed Pittsburgh's
Super Bowl total during the 1970s to four.The move means the Steelers are ending the use of their 1933 throwbacks that featured black-and-gold horizontal stripes that made the team resemble a pack of
bees.Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold got a nice review of his work from one of the team’s older players at the position on Tuesday and it was offensive
coordinator Jeremy Bates’ chance to talk about the third overall pick’s
progress.The word was once again positive. Bates said that Watching Darnold “execute football on the practice field is pretty exciting” and that the rookie has “been
able to handle” everything the team has thrown his way since the draft in April.
He also made it clear that they’ve been throwing everything they can in his
direction.“Are we giving him bits and pieces of the offense or are we throwing everything at him? We??e throwing everything at him Mitchell Trubisky Jersey ,” Bates said, via Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. ??f he can handle it Harrison Phillips Jersey , if he can prove that he?? the starter, then that will take place when the time comes.”However much Bates and company have come up with the last couple of months Adam Vinatieri Jersey , there’s only so much a team can throw at a quarterback in OTAs and minicamp before the lack of contact and opposition
forces them to a ceiling.Before any serious thought can be given to Darnold starting a game in the regular season, he’ll have to show he can handle what other teams are throwing
at him in the preseason. The Jets kick off that portion of their schedule on
August 10 against the Falcons. Womens Ronald Jones II Jersey
