Why would chickillo be out? He didn't do anything.

He was dropped by Moncrief

That right there is pure gold, Jerry!
I am belly laughing out loud at work.
Thank you for that.

Sweed wouldn't admit he had a problem with his fingers either. Moncrief is better than Sweed, though. You would think the coaches would have him rest a couple weeks with no practice to let his fingers heal - something they apparently didn't do with Sweed. You know, learn from your mistakes.

Looks like Bud & TJ will start at OLB, with plenty of Ola worked in during the game.

Ola Adeniyi likely enters Sunday’s game at the San Francisco 49ers as the Steelers’ No. 3 outside linebacker behind starters Bud Dupree and T.J. Watt. And with the Steelers showing a tendency to rotate bodies at the position so far this season and with forecasted temperatures in the 80s for Sunday in Santa Clara, Adeniyi could have an opportunity for a significant role on defense.

provided he's accrued some PTO at his new job.

I think most NFL WR's have ******-up fingers, if they play long enough. That's not to say Limas - and now Moncrief - didn't have significant hand/finger injuries. My sense with Moncrief, it's more a psychological thing with the drops, just trying too hard to be perfect. At least that's what he said in the locker room yesterday.

Here's former Lions great Calvin Johnson, for instance.

 

[Steelworth]

You should see Isaac Bruce's fingers.

He played 3 whole snaps in the giants last game. Has zero stats for the year.

Get Gilbert in some pass rushing sewts on a cross blitz

Yeah, this may be the game we see a lot of new faces out there, including Gilbert. Looks like it will be Barron & Bush to start inside w Gilbert/Matatevich in rotation.

Skipper and Thomas have as much on the stat sheet as we do.
