Notable steelers Roster cuts

Cut McFarland who had a good camp changed his style and then you keep Watt who did not play and injured???? Bush on roster well enough said. Snell well you can't fight city hall which in Steelerland is Tomlin.

Ludicrous.

the Snell played okay - but he is very limited talent-wise. Of course Snell makes the team. But the guy who is most suited for Matt Canada's offense, out of all the players the team has on offense - even Pickett, that's the guy they cut from the roster!

From head to toe, the Steelers are hamstrung by coaches who cannot shoot straight.

McFarland had a few good carries in one preseason game this year out of 3 years. He went dark again after that. Him being cut was long overdue. They gave him plenty of chances. Snell hasn't shown me much as a ball carrier - at least not what I was expecting when they drafted him, but he does have some qualities they like. I think Warren should definitely be our RB2 to start the season with Snell RB3.

McF couldn't run between the tackles, plain and simple as that told me he wasn't going to make it this year. Poor vision in confined space. Snell is better but also a way better in pass protection plus his STs play as well.

I agree on Warren and I hope he is RB2 and not held back. RB rookies can make an impact just as easily as a 3rd year guy.

That may have something to do with the fact he was met by a defender as soon as he got the ball.

Totally hear what you are saying but I think it is how the coaching looked at it as well or at least to a degree.

Anyone know when they can put players on IR (to return)? There are a few players on the 53 that will probably be put on IR and open their roster spot. Don’t know who will fill their spots….they can’t even fill the practice squad. 😀

Marcus Allen supposedly has a handshake agreement to come back…

I kind of like them taking a breath because I'm sure they are diligently looking over what's out there. Most other teams are trending on the slow last 8 PS players as well. Shows there is a lot of "shopping" going on.

I was very surprised that Mondeaux and Vaughn were not claimed, by the way… outside cuts at wr and dl overshadowed them… Sims would likely have been claimed…

I figured the Davis bros and Cody white might also be lost , but all we lost was Layne… i mean not everyone may sign with our practice squad… but still

I remember the days when the Steelers were the first team that opposing teams would check for released players...
Not so much anymore
