One week from cuts who do you see

[steelmann58]

As possible position needs for the Steelers before the season starts. My thoughts as of now is still a deep Pass catching WR. I am still a bit concerned for depth at the OL Spot. It might be a concern now for the LS spot.

I think Roman Wilson is showing to be the guy he was at Michigan. Sneaky fast and with a knack for getting wide the fuck open downfield. Rodgers is gonna love him. Once CAIII is healthy, DK, Roman and Calvin are going to be the top 3. They seem to like Scotty Miller and Skowronek will make the squad for his special teams ability. They will likely only keep 5 WR's because Arthur Smith loves his TE's so much.

Fry Daddy, Outlier, Jonnu and probably lil' Heyward are locks.

Sure, if some weird cut takes place somewhere on a team loaded with quality recievers (Green Bay?) then I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Scotty Miller go bye bye and some possible stud added, but presently I think we're set at WR.

I've been pleasantly surprised by both Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu, but I'm with you worrying about the depth. Same thing for sure the Steelers will be monitoring the waiver wire like a motherfucker.

Bobby Trees SUCKS

Tomlin may keep him as his veteran binky but we can do better.

I still hope they acquire one of the Packers' surplus WRs.

Going to need edge rush depth

Highsmith picking up where he left off last year missing time already.

Herbig hurt again.

Hopefully this dude isn't falling into the CMC/ Watt Brothers body beautiful overtraining regiment that leads to soft tissue injuries.

[Steelafan77]

Ja'Lynn Polk or Javon Baker, one of them likely doesn’t make the 53. You could Add Cole Strange to this list as well.

Yep and Jack Sawyer didn't come anywhere near a QB in all of the snaps I saw.

The Steelers are in trouble at OLB.

[Steelafan77]

They seem to have a wealth of depth at LB right now. Robinson behind Harrison behind Holcomb behind Queen/Wilson.

Holcomb coming back looks like his rehabilitation has him playing fairly well [preseason] So far.

That said, is there room for Harrison to move over to OLB?

[Steelafan77]

Mecole Hardman, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath, Cornelius Johnson, Will Sheppard and Isaiah Neyor could be competing for just four roster spots.

Yetur Gross-Matos could also be a cut candidate [salary] from 9ers, albeit a player with some injury history as well.

DeMarvin Leal hasn’t showed any notable growth since being drafted. That said, could he be on the roster due to the lack of depth at OLB?

Azeez Ojulari Could be a cap casualty and be looking for a job as well due to a wealth of depth at the OLB position in Philly.

I think Bobby is gone. Scotty MACtion Miller is making the team...reliable #4 type guy. Roc Taylor and Brandon Johnson to the practice squad.

I don't think the Pack has the surplus of wideouts you guys think. Reed hurt, Watson hurt.... That leaves them with oft-injured Doubs, rookie Golden, & Wicks. No one wants Mecole Hardman.

As far as Herbig goes, my guess is Leal will serve as the #4 edge if Nick misses time.

[Charles Demarr]

Roc Taylor cut.

And it sounds like a Gabe Davis signing is coming. He's back in town tomorrow.

[anpsteel]

Roc Taylor cut.

That's probably a good thing for Taylor. It gives him a better chance to catch on with another team, that might give him a shot at a real 53 position.


I still thing Brandon Johnson makes the 53- assuming they don't sign another veteran, and maybe even then, because more veteran depth makes Woods that much more releasable.

Davis will take Scotty Miller's job if he's signed.

Not a good sign given he is facing mostly grocery baggers.

Panic move by the FO after Jibba’s “vaunted” defense got blown off the field while surrendering 300 yards rushing.

[Charles Demarr]

Davis will take Scotty Miller's job if he's signed.

Not sure about that, I think Scotty and Ben S will both be safe. They'll roll with 6.

[Ice]

Would've been nice if the Steelers had used, say, Galbraith (or Heyward?) and a 5th to do the deal the Iggles just did to acquire Metchie from the Texans. I'd rather have his upside and pedigree, along with the willingness to block, than Gabe Davis, even if they get him for next to nothing.

[anpsteel]

Do you think they'll keep Woods and (hypothetically) Davis??

My bad

I can get through War and Peace faster than reading an NFL injury report.

The modern day athlete is a fragile one.

Anyway,

Broken record I am, but Omar K-H-A-N (Kahn makes hotdogs) lost me when he traded Pickens AFTER not selecting a single WR in the draft.

You can't tell me a day 3 dart throw on the Raiduhs Donte Thornton or Seattle rookie stud Tory Horton wouldn't be some sweet action right about now.

Keandre Lambert Smith from right up the road in Happy Valley is lighting it up out in LA.

Day two wasn't happening, but don't get me started on my guy Isaac TeSlaa over in the Motor City (irony in there somewhere).

Ohhh well can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

Gabe Davis - Woo-fucking hoo

Yeah I think Woods would be the cut, but like Drama said, Coach Cliche' likes his veteran safety blankets.

[Ice]

If only there were some historical precedent that the team and staff could look to in order to notice that signing the washed up vet WR for training camp presence might be okay, but keeping them into the season pays almost no dividends at all. It's like they don't remember what happened every time they've done this before at the position.

[CKSteeler]

I'm pretty much apathetic, but the recent trend with this team of going for aging vets and giving them snaps over younger guys and never letting them develop is pissing me off.

You brought in two nearly washed CB's and bumped down Joey Porter Jr.
Austin is out there saying Beanie Bishop has to really fight to make the 53.
Let's sign Gabe Davis and keep the corpse of Robert Woods so we don't have to count on the WR's we drafted.

Sometimes, young guys have to actually play and take their lumps. But this team and its braintrust is so delusional that they think that they're on the cusp of winning it all. Can't just take lumps and let young guys develop into what you drafted them to be.

[anpsteel]

Davis will take Scotty Miller's job if he's signed.

Yeah I think Woods would be the cut, but like Drama said, Coach Cliche' likes his veteran safety blankets.

That's why I'm thinking if they sign Davis- all the more likely Woods is cut.

with that being said- i just saw a clip of Davis running an agility drill- he looks slow af

[Steelafan77]

Too bad the stains already signed Isaiah Bond.

Not sure about that, I think Scotty and Ben S will both be safe. They'll roll with 6.

They're almost certainly keeping 4 TE's.

Most then expected the Steelers to only keep 5 WR's and frankly, I agree.

Scotty Miller's a solid veteran option but he's the 4th WR and his resume vs what Gabe Davis has done....well....it can't compete.

Skowronek makes it because he plays teams.

I guess you could be right and they keep both Gabe Davis and Scotty Miller but that would knock Miller down to the #5 WR and frankly he might as well be on the practice squad then, especially because while Skowronek isn't anything special as a WR, he probably has as many game day catches as Scotty Miller.

Miller just seems redundant if Davis is signed.

[bradshaw2ben]

I don't put much stock in anything we've seen in preseason so far, good or bad. Although, given the competition, bad doesn't bode well.

I, too, have always hated signing older vets and using them to take away reps and even roster spots from young, hungry players.

If draft capital sunken cost weren't a thing, I could make a case for cutting Johnson & Sawyer and signing them to PS. Donte Kent should be gonzo.

My predicted 53 today would look like:

QB (3) Rodgers, Rudolph, Howard
[Skyler Thompson traded for anything or cut]
RB (4) Warren, Gainwell, Nichols, Johnson
TE (4) Washington, Jonnu, Freiermuth, Heyward
WR (5) DK, CA3, Wilson, Miller, Skowronek
OL (9) Fautanu, McCormick, Frazier, Seumalo, B Jones, Peat, Calvin Anderson, Spencer Anderson, McCollum

DT (5) Heyward, Harmon, Yaha, Benton, Loudermilk
EDGE. (4) TJ, Highsmith, Herbig, Sawyer
LB (6) Queen, Wilson, Holcomb, Harrison, Robinson, Breuner
DB (10) Ramsey, Slay, JPJ, Echols, Bishop, Thornhill, Elliott, Killebrew, Castro, Clark

LS [unknown]
P [whichever punter isn't immediately signed by or traded to TEN... toughest call of the offseason... good problem to have]
K Boswell

[tango_mike]

Can we please be done with Conner Heyward? Useless waste of roster space! We have enough tight ends and don’t use a full back. Use this roster spot for real depth or someone that contributes.

[bradshaw2ben]

STs gets to keep some guys at the bottom of the depth chart. Heyward would be one of those core guys, along with Killebrew.

He’s not even a TE. Plays the position in name only.

Zero chance he could line-up and play TE if one of the top guys were to get injured.

Waaaaay too small to play TE in the NFL and too much of a pussy to put his head down and block like a proper FB.

He’s got nice hands. That’s about it.

Get the fuck rid of him already.

[CKSteeler]

I remember people trying to tell me that drafting baby Heyward wasn't about nepotism and that he could really play.

[955876]

He can play. Would be a stud in a flag football beer league.

The NFL as a whole”TE” though??? Not so much.

Not one player on that roster the top 12 or so teams in the league really needs to fear

I am so over this team

Lots of other guys can play special teams. This is a nepotism waste of a spot. Keep an extra O line or D line.
