PITTSBURGH — Michael Irvin's assertion the Steelers should be playing Kenny Pickett right now to "see what everything else happens" and comparing it to Troy Aikman's rookie season with the Dallas Cowboys is as baseless and ridiculous as his "playing offensive line is as easy as anything" comment.
Irvin said the Cowboys learned a lot about Aikman — his toughness, his character — even though the Cowboys never won any of the 11 games he started and he threw nine touchdowns compared to 18 interceptions. He thinks the Steelers should do the same and find out about their rookie quarterback.
"I believe it would be a jolt of energy and maybe — maybe you start seeing something," Irvin said.
