This one seems a bit easy this year...Here is my 53 man roster prediction.

Quarterback (3): Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard​

Hoping that the Steelers receive calls and gain a draft pick for Thompson

Running Back (3): Jaylen Warren, Kaleb Johnson, Kenneth Gainwell​

Nichols should make the practice squad

Wide Receiver (6): DK Metcalf, Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin, Curtis Samuel, Scotty Miller, Ben Skowronek​

If Omar is who we all think he is, there is a WR out there that will be brought in and should push Skowronek out.

Tight End (4): Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith, Darnell Washington, Connor Heyward​

Baby Cam squeaks in due to injury

Offensive Line (8): Broderick Jones, Isaac Seumalo, Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick, Troy Fautanu, Calvin Anderson, Spencer Anderson, Andrus Peat​

Listing Anderson and Peat was tough to do here...the OL really lacks depth. If any Starter is injured, look for Aaron Rogers to be buried into the Heinz Field turf. (NO, I will not call it by the other name)

Defensive Line (7): Cam Heyward, Keeanu Benton, Derrick Harmon, Yahya Black, Isaiahh Loudermilk, Daniel Ekuale, Logan Lee​

Logan Lee makes the roster, and I agree with Berm's assessment in the game day thread of needing an IV of Peanut butter. LMAO.

Edge (4): T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig, Jack Sawyer​

Does it get any easier than picking these four?

Linebacker (5): Patrick Queen, Payton Wilson, Cole Holcomb, Malik Harrison, Mark Robinson​

I really like this group and the depth is there. Look for Holcomb to be the thumper on short yardage situations.

Cornerback (6): Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr, Darius Slay, Brandin Echols, Beanie Bishop, James Pierre​

James Pierre will not go away, and Trice is making it easy for him. Dude can't stay healthy and it's disappointing to say the least.

Safety (4): DeShon Elliott, Juan Thornhill, Chuck Clark, Miles Killebrew​

Elliott and Thornhill start let's hope they stay healthy.

Special Teams (3): Chris Boswell, Cam Johnston, Christian Kuntz​

I take back my statement on the Edge group, this was even easier.

The only thing I disagree with here is adding Curtis Samuel... we dont need another sub 6 foot wr with injury issues...

I just hope if they do keep 6 wrs instead of 9 ol, its one of McCutcheon or Johnson, not Hurleman, who i dont think will translate to the regular season well, or Williams... who is redundant to the other guys we have
 
Looks pretty accurate for the most part. But agree it's pretty easy. I dont see Skowronek as being replaced he is special teams Maven. Rogers has heaped praise on Heyward for knowing where to be. Hope Harmon is active and not IR for season. I only caught first quarter ladt night. Did Wakemen melt as a punter?
 
I’d say you’re pretty spot on…

At QB- I think they IR Howard and keep Skylar

At WR- no need for Samuel, maybe go with just 5 or a different scrap heap player that brings some size to the room

At OL- did I miss something, did McCullom get hurt? If he is healthy I think he makes the squad eliminating the 6th WR or another “last 3 guys” type of player like ILB Robinson

At DL- guessing they may keep an extra (maybe Lowry?) depending on the severity of the Harmon injury.

LS- guessing the new guy gets the nod to start the season at least until Kuntz is healthy. Didn’t catch how long he was supposed to be out.

And while I wouldn’t keep Connor around I’m sure the Steelers will do everything possible to not further piss off Cam…so he’ll likely get a spot too

Lowry is on season ending IR

And you are likely right about McCollum... they went out of their way to keep him last year and they like him as the top backup C. With how young the line is they probably keep a 9th... plus Oline is really hard to replace midseason now...

aww ****
Missed that he got injured

I guess that would leave the door possibly open for the guy who is always almost making a play, Leal, or maybe a scrap heap guy if Harmon is out for an extended period of time. I could see Cam tweaking something as he works his way towards game shape/contact and if that happens, they instantly become really thin on the DL. Between the Harmon (and Lowry) injuries and Cam's hold in they won't have much in game shape early. Benton, Black, Lee, Ekuale and Loudermilk isn't a very impressive 5 (not counting on too much from Cam until we see where his head and physical conditioning is at).

Can Mount Washington play DE? jk
 
I think the initial Roster will keep all 4 QB’s but will then IR Howard so he can return instead of season ending him before the final roster. The initial 53 roster will not be the opening day roster by a long shot.
 
I'm definitely keeping Thompson. I'd IR Howard.

If Rodgers goes down, then it's just Mason with nobody behind him at the moment who can play.
 
First cuts just made. Didn't recognize many of the names. Hull ran a few. They cut Mcquiad the fill in at long snap. But that likely means Kuntz is fine. Or possibly Mcquiad is so ****** they have to go elsewhere on the street.
 
They cut the new long snapper. My guess it either means Logan lee is the temp til Kuntz isnt sore anymore... or they will resign him or someone else as soon as they finalize the roster and IR Kuntz

With injuries they need the spot to stash some players.
I'd be putting Logan Lee on your roster predictions

Hi all guys! I gave Luckster Casino a try and honestly, it’s a pretty solid site for slots in the United Kingdom. The variety surprised me, and I enjoy how smooth it works. Nothing too flashy, just a comfortable place to play. If you’re also looking, maybe this is worth a try. Wishing you good times friends!!!

Make sense.
 
My semi surprise is Bruener . He was pretty active overall. Just trading one ST guy for another…
 
madinsomniac said:
Its Bruener vs Robinson vs ab extra DB... id lean Robinson with Bruener on the PS if they can get him... our ILB depth went from nothing to stacked in 3 years lol

You might be right. I think that is probably the normal prediction.

Berm endorses this list.

Especially my "red beans, rice and peanut butter IV" statement...

McCallum might have hurt his brain trying to count how many penalties he had last night.
 
Thinking Howard might be an IR with designated return , ditto Trice.

Reports are saying Harmon will avoid it possibly only missing two games. But why rush him back? I would put him in there giving him that two game recovery extension.

Hello! Just wanted to say that I found this cool gaming site - Jackpot Jill Casino here in Australia and it feels pretty good. The slots are enjoyable, and I like that the site is not complicated. For me it’s a nice balance of fun and simple play. If you ever curious, this one might be for you. Good luck.

Totaly agree
 
QB - 3 (3)

  • Aaron Rodgers
  • Mason Rudolph
  • Will Howard


The only way Thompson makes this roster is if Howard goes to IR to stash, which I do think is possible.



RB 3 (6)

  • Jaylen Warren
  • Kenneth Gainwell
  • Kaleb Johnson


Probably the easiest RB room we’ve had in a while. This is all but locked up. Sermon & Lew Nichols looked strong, and could both wind up on the practice squad.



WR 5 (11)

  • DK Metcalf
  • Calvin Austin
  • Roman Wilson
  • Ben Skworonek
  • Scottie Miller


I thought Woods just needed to show SOMETHING to make this team, and he didn’t.

Hurleman, Brandon Johnson & Keshawn Williams all have a shot to land back on the PS.



TE 4 (15)

  • Pat Freiermuth
  • Jonnu Smith
  • Darnell Washington
  • Conner Heyward


No surprises here.



OT - 3 (18)

  • Broderick Jones
  • Troy Fautanu
  • Calvin Anderson


OT3 interchangeable right now. Apparently Calvin Anderson hasn’t practiced since Friday night lights. If he goes to IR, swap him with cook.



G - 4 (22)

  • Isaac Seumalo
  • Mason McCormick
  • Spencer Anderson
  • Andrus peat


I think Peat is more of a guard at this point, but being able to play both positions locks it up.



C - 2 (24)

  • Zack Frazier
  • Ryan McCollum


No explanation needed.



DL - 6 (31)

  • Cam Heyward
  • Keanu Benton
  • Derrick Harmon
  • Yahya Black
  • Isaiah Loudermilk
  • Daniel Ekuale
  • Esezi Otomewo


The last spot could still be up in the air. If Harmon goes to IR this opens up another spot, and being unsure about him is the main reason for otomewo sneaking in. I don’t love it, and looked for something else, but it just makes sense. Don’t think Logan Lee did enough.



OLB - 4 (35)

  • TJ Watt
  • Alex Highsmith
  • Nick herbig
  • Jack sawyer


Written in stone. Eku Leota likely heads to the PS align with Welschof.



ILB 5 (40)

  • Patrick Queen
  • Peyton Wilson
  • Cole Holcomb
  • Malik Harrison
  • Mark Robinson


This one was pretty straightforward also. Bruener could make a push, after a couple solid performances on special teams, but I think Robinson holds on, as he’s no slouch there either.



CB - 6 (46)

  • Jalen Ramsey
  • Darius slay
  • Joey porter jr.
  • Brandin Echols
  • Beanie Bishop
  • James pierre


My final prediction here. Which is a tough one.

I really like trice, but he likely heads to IR or just a cut with hopes of circling back around to PS. Pierre could stick due to special teams and being one of the only gunners.



S - 4 (50)

  • Deshon Elliott
  • Juan Thornhill
  • Chuck Clark
  • Miles Killebrew


Another written in stone. Clark will be the backup, with killebrew for ST.



K - 1 (51)

  • wizard of boz


P - 1 (52)

Cameron Johnston



LS - 1 (53)

Christian Kuntz
