Preseason Week 3: @TEN

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Offense... Well its time to knock the dust off the 1st team. Prayers up that we don't suffer any injuries in a meaningless game. Not expecting much rust. TEN secondary is legit so should be exciting to see this new group of WRs take flight. Dobbs vs. Rudolph round 3 after that. If Dobbs doesn't get dealt after this week, then Hodges will go to the PS. Really would like to see Crief & Switz take a big leap in tonights game. Haven't seen much from either yet. But could be a calculated move. Other players had a lot more to prove leading up to this point.

Defense... Should see a lot more from the 1st team tonight. Looking forward to seeing Bush again. Is the OLB duo for real? Can the secondary show some promise?

Who's Hurting?

• Diontae Johnson... Likely out. Undisclosed injury after PG2. Hip nagging? Tomlin will "leave light on".
• Benny Snell... Doubtful. Groin injury.
• Zach Gentry... Probable. Missed PG2 for undisclosed injury.
• Devin Bush... Probable. Sat out PG2 due to shoulder injury.
• Sutton Smith... Probable. Missed PG1 & PG2, and 17 consecutive days of TC due to abdominal injury.
• Joe Haden... Very doubtful, despite Tomlin's comments saying everyone has a chance to play. Ankle injury suffered in camp. Targeting week 1 return. Still doing individual work in practices.

OFC...establish the run, at some point look crisp...I don’t want to see a string of 3&outs.

DEF...Mostly interested in the secondary and Barron in coverage...Bush, we know what he can do, let him run around make a hit or two, and I would pull him after maybe 3 series.

Not entirely sure how many runs we'll see with Ben in there... I'm guessing Fichtner will let Ben throw the ball a lot.

Yeah...true. If he’s not being harassed a lot...I can see that.

Vegas O/U on runs with Ben in the game would be about 2.5 lol

Kam Kelly already taking advantage of his 1st team defense reps

 

[SteelersPride]

did i hear right? i cant be the only one, twitter had to hear, i swear one of ben's "omaha's" was "anotonio"

 

[steelerssb]

Nice by Tuitt. Team needs these plays from him this year.

 

[thedddd]

Dupree still almost missed the QB, even though they were laying on the ground after Tuitt got the safety.

well in his next interview he will count that as a sack.

 

[steelerssb]

Trey Edmunds is going to be a tough cut.

 

[steelerssb]

Ben to Juju. Can't wait to see more of that (now get them the hell out of there)

Made it look to easy each catch on that drive.

im not promoting it, but there were rumors from bouchette that snell wasnt safe.......because of edmunds

They showed why they can succeed as a horizontal team and less vertical without Brown, and honestly that might be better if it keeps the defense off the field more.

Read that also. Edmunds deserves to stay.

I heard that radio clip where he said that. I really hope they don't cut Snell already but Edmunds is really knocking on the door. Maybe they go 4 backs.

think thats why they were working snell out before the game....even with a groin.

but TBH.......Tomlin never admits hes wrong with draft picks........he'll keep snell

its a rb, you keep the better player.......

 

[steelerssb]

I actually think Bud has his best year as a pro with him being motivated for a contract. Maybe 8-10 sacks as a hopeful, then let some other sucker pay big money for him.
