Steelernation tracking the practice squad

[SteelerSask2]

So we have
Leglue
mcCollum
Dunkle
Mcfarland
White
Riley
CDavis
Rashad

8 down, 8 to go

There is at best some depth and a spot starter there.

 

[MT~Forged]

I would be looking to sign 8 OL positions. Good chance they get to play sometime this year.

 

[madinsomniac]

So assuming they are looking to add at least 1 at each position, qb,Rb,te,wr, g,t,c, Dl/nt dl/de
Ilb,olb, s,cb that leaves 3 doubles… they usually have multiple wrs, but with 7active, who knows and they almost certainly will carry an extra DB. Of they really arent trading Rudolph they could skimp on the extra qb… id assume another oline guy… if they don’t keep another wr pr a fourth Qb, they could add to the dline if Mondeaux wants to come back..

I just hope they get things sorted out so we won't be ranked 31. If we could just get to 22.

 

[Drink IRON City]

I think three per player… then they have to stay up on your 53

I was thinking that as well but just couldn't remember, THANKS


Salute the nation

Could very easily be right. Coach Tomlin can't seem to get an OL that has actually played together for more than 1 year, that is a problem for building an OL. The teams with OLs that have played together for more than 2 years seem to be the better OLs in the NFL........... Let's invest heavily and get to that point...................

So we have been waiting for that draft investment in OL for the past two drafts....and have only the failing Green experiment and the worrisome Moore experiments to show. When you add in the departures of Pouncey, DeCastro and Big Al, you can clearly see the massive talent deficit has not been addressed.

Pouncey must be freaking to see his 53 on a turnstile.

 

[ZonaBurgh]

Have to wonder what the thought process is here, with only 8 now signed, and literally every other team with their PS filled.

Not all of them have their ps filled, most only signed 13-15 players yesterday.. i think a few dominoes are holding everything up… im guessing once the ir spots are opened a bunch of guys move all at once, either to rosters or to ps’s

With an extra week, filling these quickly isn’t as big a deal

 

[bermudasteel]

Maybe they don't want to sign with Tomlin?

This is not how you 'be great'...

Amen...

I understand, just concerned we'll end up with the ugly stepsister of what's left.

I teally like Gilbert… was very disappointed that Detroit snagged him last season

we already drafted that in the 3rd round last year. i know its hectic, but please try to keep up.

 

[madinsomniac]

They just added DL Renell Wren

 

[madinsomniac]

Also lb Chappel Russell

 

[madinsomniac]

They also just IRd CA3 and Kazee and brought back Allen and Scott to the 53

 

[madinsomniac]

So four more… Mondeaux was lost to the Giants practice squad… but I don’t think Tyler Vaughn or Chris steele or buddy Johnson ended up anywhere and I expected all of them to be PS’d

So, Mr. Rigg. About that old playbook...

 

[ianv2012]

Steelers claimed Jamir Jones off waivers, and waived Derreck Tuszka.

 

[xjx]

Whoa

 

[madinsomniac]

Steelers claimed Jamir Jones off waivers, and waived Derreck Tuszka.

All about the same really… they cut jones because they felt they needed that special teams ace… Im not sure thats true anymore… same with layne… boykin made his special teams work expendable

I think Jones flashed better pass rush potential, at least IMO
