Steelers-panthers game thread - last call

I’d keep Edmonds over Snell. I just don’t see it with him. For as big as he is, he falls on first contact too.

I honestly don't see the Steelers cutting him. They will allow him to develop and trim up for a year and let the scouting on him prove or disprove itself. Its the Steeler way.
 
Is that my little buddy Skipper I see stripping that ball
 
I certainly could be wrong but I really think Snell would be good behind the first team line and with a little seasoning. I think we are rushing to judge a back who would be the type to need to get reps behind a real line and just pound..

Snell was never a 4th round pick. He was a late round talent and we reached. Just like Hawkins, Dobbs, Grant, Thomas, Ta’amu, Landry Jones, Cortez Allen, Gibson, Tony Hills, Sepulveda, etc

Meh First rounders bust at about 50% rate in the NFL.. it gets exponentially worse as the rounds progress... by the 4th its a crapshoot ... i will take a bad third or fourth rounder pick for three pretty good looking sixth rounders

I agree. I don’t see it either but let’s hope we don’t need to see him get the ball in regular season.

This also could be true... sometimes quickness comes with confidence and knowledge
 
Flipped the field for z duck

But mathematically we should have got lucky by now.

These boys are really out here trying to get Duck killed
 
You can blame the oline looking like crap, but if your a good back you have to make things happen on your own once in a while. Snell looks dead in the water on every run.
 
I like Trey Griffey as a wr from what I have seen, but we are SOOO deep there he has no shot at all... not even with a couple injuries to

I see a back who was getting yards and not dancing. I see aback hitting people and wearing them down. I never expected him to be a breakaway back but wear. You down then run you over as you get tired back and he has shown more than I expected catching the ball.

We shall see.

I know Rudolph is going against future truck drivers and grocery clerks but he looks 100X better than Dobbs.

Remember, Rudolph was going against KC's number ones in week 2 and didn't look overwhelmed one bit.
 
I think we are very thin at RB. We have a stud in Connor, a great change of pace guy and gimmck player in JaySam and then nothing. If Connor were to get hurt we have no legitimate running game.
 
Spillane looks like a Pats LB and not just because he's a white guy. He's big and physical. I won't be surprised if they sign him
 
For the 2nd year in a row Berry has been soundly out punted by a rookie or 1st year player.Lets see f Tomlin finally makes the right decision and cuts the bum. Wilde who bested him last summer out licked him with the Vikings last season.

I was excited for Benny Snell football. And the first play of Benny Snell football was a very nice tackle on the opening kickoff to start Benny Snell football era.
That was about the height of it
Sorry, I have not seen anything that would take a spot from another football player
