Predicting the Steelers 53 Man Roster 2.0

Here's mine:

QB:
Ben
Jones
Rudolph
No, we're not keeping 4 quarterbacks on the active roster. Sorry Dobbs, we'll TRY to stash you, but no promises of anything.

RB:
Bell
Connor
Ridley
Samuels - as was mentioned earlier in the thread, Samuels is far too versatile to try and tuck away, he needs to be available from the get-go. Fitz has had his chance here, time to move on.

FB:
Nix

OL:
Villanueva
Foster
Pouncey
DeCastro
Gilbert
Feiler
Finney
Okorafor

TE:
McDonald
James
Grimble

WR:
AB
JuJu
Washington
DHB
Hunter
Patterson - runs very well in his cuts, nice hands, and I expect him to only get better.

DL:
Cam
Tuitt
Hargrave
Alualu
Walton
That's right, Big Dan is OUTTA HEAAA'. Sorry big boy, you should've showed a little more, a little earlier. We're giving your spot to what I see as a promising up-and-comer, listed in the next group...

OLB:
Dupree
Watt
Chickillo
Adams
Adeniyi -BOOM. Adeniyi makes the 53, and I think he's going to be a joy to watch as he blossoms into one of the better pass rushers in the AFC North

ILB:
Williams
Bostic
Matakevich
Fort
Thomas

CB:
Hayden
Burns
Hilton
Sutton
Allen
Sensabaugh

S:
Burnett
Davis
Edmunds
Behre

ST:
Bos
Berry
Canaday
 
I'll reverse my prediction, switching Samuels with Ridley. I think Ridley is done, otherwise he'd be getting snaps. I do stand by my opinion that they could get Samuels to the ps if they wanted. He's just the guy this year everyone's afraid to lose to waivers. We have that guy every year.

Ridley was a bit banged up as well, but I think the Steelers wanted to see if Samuels could be counted on as a runner from the backfield. Turns out, he can. That is what will move Ridley off the roster.

See if the powers that be is going to run it, if not I will..............
 
Do you think maybe Grimble begins the year on the PUP list? Perhaps that is why they are putting Okorafor at TE position (albeit only for blocking). Grimble could come back after 6 weeks. IDK his prognosis etc.

Grimble isn't PUP eligible. Only IR eligible.

Steelers used Hubbard all the time last year as the extra TE eligible lineman on running sets. Just something they do.

Until another player can beat out DHB on special teams he will stick. I am sure that is how "cool shades" looks at it.
 
Like to see OL Huguenin make the team.

He plays a valuable position, and appears to have a mean streak. That sack Saturday was nice.

OL ?

Looks more like a two OLBer race. Hug probably just hits the PS..........
 
I meant OLB...

I think he has more upside than *Anthony "B.B. King" Chickillo.*

* - The thrill is gone.

What's the old saying can't make the roster from the hot tub?
