There used to be multiple cut down days unlike now with one big lump

Why did that go away

So You had longer to evaluate, snd if You had a injury you didn't have to go, damn I wish we didn't cut that other player yet, now we need him

Max Iheanachor T Arizona State - Obviously making the team. If Jones and Cook continue to suck, he should have a chance to start at some point this season.
Germie Bernard WR Alabama - obviously making the team. Him and Wilson are battling for the WR3 job, but he will see snaps on the field this season regardless.
Drew Allar QB Penn State - obviously making the team. There is almost no scenario that sees him playing this year, but that's okay.
Daylen Everette DB Georgia - obviously making the team. Lots of camp hype and quality PS outing. Will start as depth, shouldn't play much with the talent we have in the secondary without injuries
Gennings Dunker G Iowa - obviously making the team. Our OL isn't so good that young talent is expendable. I thought he'd push a starting job a bit sooner, but oh well, he's looked fine and can continue to get better.
Kaden Wetjen WR Iowa - obviously making the team. Starting KR/PR and should basically never see the field on offense. His second outing was better than his first (in returns) still has some juice to show.
Riley Nowakowski TE Indiana - obviously making the team. Only FB/H-Back we have. ST player.
Gabe Rubio DE Notre Dame - Should make the team. Has had a good camp and quality PS. I'd expect he's the final DL to make it. Our depth is good enough there to have him start as game day inactive
Robert Spears-Jennings DB Oklahoma - Should make the team. On the field he looks closer to field capable than he does to being cut. Making plays on defense and ST. I'd have him as a lock if it were me deciding.
Eli Heidenreich - Won't make the team. Doesn't look like he's done enough and we went out and got some RB's just now in FA. He might stick around on the PS.

I agree with most of this

I honestly can’t see Steelers or any team
Keeping 4 qbs on the 53 roster
That qb absolutely will do nothing
Eating up another position spot

But it would only be temporary.

Slide someone else who may be a little more hidden onto the practice squad until you can trade rudolph.

Speaking of rookies I'm not sold on Wetjen as a WR, he's not a tall guy nor do I like him as our return guy. IMO he'll have to have one hell of a game Thursday night to make the final cut.

I have no idea how good he was at Iowa.

He was world class at iowa. And in addition to that, our special teams are yet to open a lane for him.

If the Steelers hit on this draft pick the future of the OL is looking really good.

We actually never tried a field goal all preseason until last week when we were getting shutout, and that one was missed

“All preseason”

There have only been two games

I guess

But by contrast with earlier cut down days players have a chance to try elsewhere
