the Good
Eli Rogers He has done nothing to lose the slot reps, but perhaps Juju's every other day injuries will keep his starting look, safe for now.
John Conner - quickly showing elusiveness combined with power. This fan favorite is giving fans something to cheer about on the field, as he already had off the field covered. I notice he wasn't thrown at, three drops in a previous game will do that tooya.
Shazier - small body of work, but it was nice to see him bait and catch. Welcome back....
Watson -continues to shine in limited opportunities. Croissant is higher up the depth chart, but it is a depth chart I think needs adjusting.
Martavis Bryant His stats from the game will not blow you away, but I continue to see him shake the rust off. Perhaps early in the season he will need to still shake a little of, like sands though the hour glass
Juju Went down early and came back in showing that Bolden type route running toughness. Too early to tell if he will be the receiver Bolden was, but somewhat of wishful thinking here.
Big Ben Not going to blame him for that early turnover, Big Al would get that. But I think we will see the same ol BIg Ben come game 1. And I like that just fine.
Sutton and Hilton kind of honorable mention here. As they made a few plays against second tier competition. Enough of body of work to make the roster for both IMO. But not enough to crown them starter ready. Still we have to like what we see from both, although Sutton's body of work is much shorter. The arrow is pointing up obviously.
Grimble Few good plays out there. Just enough to where you stick over perhaps a blocking TE.
the Bad
Holba
We didn't hear Holba's name called in a negative way this preseason up until last night. A missed extra point was due to his mishandling of the snap, nothing to be alarmed about. As easily fixable. lol 6th round pick.
WR's Coates, Hamilton, and Hunter none are shining, perhaps two make it on potential. Which might leave Hamilton like dust in the wind.
Jesse James too many drops this camp Jesse. C'mon Outlaw let's not get in the habit of shooting blanks on the football field.
The Ugly
Robert Golden Shoddy tackling, makes me miss Mitchell. Who speaking of, needs to find his *** back from injury quickly. Robert's not so Golden play makes me hope someone hop skip and jumps over him on the depth chart.
Penalties, overall secondary play, shaky WR play, anddddd more often than not being slow out of the gates play. Which can partially be contributed to coaching. And partially contributed to preseason rust, and the vets wanting to go into the season injury free.
My two and a half cents:
Too early to get a feel on the Sensabaugh VS Cockrell competition. One would think Sens is starting to gain a edge-but I suspect the first few games of the season will sort this out-Braugh. Hopefully for the better, and not being a case of two bones two duds.
I still think this team needs a corner and a FS. I am hoping those final cuts brings one if not both. Sometimes you can hope in one hand and **** in the other. Steelers remind me of this yearly.
In the grand scheme the Steelers need to find answers with urgency, if you want to put yourself in a leading playoff position in regards to seeding. Playoff playoffs playoffs? You need to win early and not fold against lesser competition. Which coincidentally is what the schedule views like in the first month of play. To be the best you have to beat the best (that comes later in the season). But in the Steelers case to be the best also entails beating the worst.
