limas sweed?

Wasnt he #14?

Edit: I think it was Gilreath, thanks Canaan.

[Geezer]

I know that teams don't usually keep a 4th QB on the practice squad but I'd like to see them keep Jerrod Johnson there.

[jprolley]

I liked Gilreath. Disappointed he got cut, but hopefully they'll put him on the PS

[FreeCandy44]

Didn't they just claim dujuan harris?

[canaan]

Didn't they just claim dujuan harris?

Yup. The signing was equivalent to an extended workout to see what he was like in person

DeCastro will be put in IR this tues, and under the new IR rules is eligable to come back after week 8.

Yep.. which means 1 of those cut still has a chance to end up being on the team.

[TheHammer24]

I can't believe we lost Decastro and Thomas hasn't looked good. What a buzz kill.

The did.

[shafnutz05]

Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering how many injuries occur at Heinz Field (turf injuries) compared to other stadiums. It seems to me that players are always getting their knees/legs messed up with the Heinz Field surface.

Thomas who?

[FreeCandy44]

That's what I was wondering

[blackjack68]

Just got my Sunday Ticket down to $149 from $299 for the MAX package. I'm good with that.

[shafnutz05]

I have a bad feeling about the Denver game.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

I wouldn't be surprised if they lose. In fact I have already set my expectations for a Steelers loss.

[jprolley]

I have a bad feeling about the Denver game.

me too. and its just not my normal doom and gloom attitude talking. you know damn well the broncos will get a TD on their first possession as the defense is accustomed to allowing.

i don't think it will be as big of a disaster as last year's opener but still a loss nonetheless.

[Steve]

who is starting at RB for the steelers this week?

[Letang Is The Truth]

Dwyer

[viva la ben]

Tomlin said Mendenhall could play in Denver, apparently he looks good in practice.

[Geezer]

Tomlin said Mendenhall could play in Denver, apparently he looks good in practice.

I was hoping Redman and Dwyer would have 6-8 games under their belts before Mendenall played and that he could provide depth. I'll be glad when he's somewhere else after this year. the only Steeler's back that I remember going down as easy as Rashard was Walter Abercrombie. Mendenhall gets dropped in his tracks by small cornerbacks after his done doing dance steps.

They gave up a TD on the first drive twice last year. I wasn't aware 2 times in 17 now counted as "customary."

[KennyTheKangaroo]

the football version of a maholm?

[shafnutz05]

I would say a Maholm would be more the offense executing a well-done TD drive, and the defense turning around and letting the other team march back down the field.
