Actively Predicting the Inactive List: Week 2

[Steeler Nation]

By: G.Stryker The good news is it looks like Vance McDonald is ready to go this week. *The bad news is the Steelers are a lot less healthy than they were a week ago, when Vance was the only injured player who was on the inactive list. * Joe Haden, David DeCastro, and Tyson Alualu […]

Amazing one game can do so much damage.

I want to see Washington inserted for Hunter, maybe 25-50% of Hunter's snaps. First thing out of every other fan's mouth is everybody has injuries. I agree most teams have them and we sure as hell do but I'm looking for later in the year we are healthy as a fiddle, that's the bottom line.

Great write up G. And thanks for the time it takes.

DeCastro should have whatever hand surgery he needs to get that hand fixed so he can be back sooner than later. Sucks his hand got worse but I'm sure time will heal it. That makes us thin on the OL and its a big loss for the run game considering we pull DD quite often.

Id rather see 90-100% of Washington over hunter.

Not all fractures require surgery. For his it sounds like a soft cast and time will be the trick.

Inactives for #Steelers: QB Rudolph, WR Hunter, CB Haden, SS MAllen, G DeCastro, T Banner, DE Alualu

Looks like we will see more Washington today.

Cope all but one. JaySam probably got the nod due to the OC admitting he overused Conner game 1.

 

[TDX27]

Hunter is inactive. Hopefully, that means we will see Samuels as the No. 3 and not DHB.

James Washington is supposed to have a more active role today.

My thoughts too ark but I used what reality %s I thought would actually happen. I hope I'm wrong and it is Hunter who get very few of Washington's snaps.

Last week was a travesty by having your best #3 on the side lines, rookie or not.

We did pretty well against the other sites as well:

Steeler Nation 6/7
Steeler Depot 6/7
SB Nation 7/7

So we're tied with SB nation and a game up on the Depot thus far this season.

I agree. I remember reading something last week that said he didn't have all the hand signals down yet. Hell, I still would have given him a limited role, especially in the redzone.

Would like to see Tomlin on the inactive list.
