Steelers Make Final Cuts to Get to 53

[Shane Falco]

Dobbs has been cut.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Switzers only real quality was being a sure handed punt returner...nothing else. You could tackle him with a feather. Glad he is gone.

He was the best kick returner we've had in a long time.

Think about it.

 

[Gridiron]

Really ? He was the worst KO returnee in the league in 2018. He is garbage.

Coach's comments:

Well I hated the Brooks pick in round 6. NO MORE Slow safeties please. Guy was cut

Big Dan hasn't done anything for years.

I thought Gray was a reach for a 7th round pick.

Skipper had some hype to him, I felt he was fringe.

Swizter has his chances.

The only guy I think could have stuck was Cain. I guess he can't return kicks?

No real issues with these cuts.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

He was the best kick returner we've had in a long time.

Think about it.

Kickoffs are basically dead in this new version of the NFL.

I feel Dobbs is a better option than Duck and you can use him to simulate Jackson...twice a year. Perhaps even three times...

A few heads are going to explode. I think he brings good depth.... You wonder though at whose expense?

There were quite a few veteran safeties on the market and as soon as Davis was cut this move made sense. You could come up with a reason for any of the backup safeties right now. I'd probably move Dangerfield since he's special teams only. However, Allen is completely unproven and even if they're using him in the hybrid role, he's yet to show it on the field.

Well damn I liked Riley's experience.

 

[Hoot]

Dangerfield over Riley? surprising to me. Riley got good ink during camp. He must not do well on teams.

I heard they want to sign Riley to the PS so I am hoping that comes to pass...........

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Really ? He was the worst KO returnee in the league in 2018. He is garbage.

Apparently you didn't get the joke.
I didn't say he was good, I said he was the best we've had in years.
Horrible special teams are the Steelers Way dating back to the days of Chuck Noll.

 

[AggieSteel]

Riley can't tackle.. you know this staff is going to prefer someone who can over someone who can't. Although I think Riley is the better cover guy.. whatever I'm not worried about Riley walking out the door

I still can't figure out why Saeed Blacknall can't get it together to make a roster. Kid is a big play machine, but even at PSU, McSorely barely threw him the ball. When he did, great things tended to happen
