    Grant and Chickillo? A shame for both of them. I presume we'll see them on the PS if they clear...

    Just a great job of neglecting the secondary the last few years. Golson won't be around long either. Just awful.

    Wow, crazy that they weren't swapping position for position there. a CB and OLB for a RB and DE? Why not cut Dri instead? Apparently the RB is a kick returner?

    Thing to me is ...They both could use another year, but I see them both developing as role players ... and I'm not sure Grant or Chickillo are gonna get sneaked to the practice squad.

    Signed RB Dominique Brown, DB Jordan Dangerfield, OL Reese Dismukes, OL Antonio Johnson, LB L.J. Fort, LB Shayon Green, DE Ethan Hemer, WR Shakim Phillips, WR Jarrod West, and TE Harold Spears to the Practice Squad.

    I believe that's the limit. Grant, a 4th round CB to the street. But keep Dri Archer :facepalm:

    I liked Cockrell more last year than I did Grant this year. I'm ok with that swap. Wouldn't mind getting Grant on the PS at some point.

    I never saw much out of Chick. He had the deck stacked against him slimming down and learning a new position.

    Anyone got much info on Toddman? I see Jonas Gray cleared waivers. I know he isn't perfect but he did go for over 200 yards against a playoff team.

    Just wondering with all the RBs out there why we settled on Toddman.

    His name just makes me think of that guy on Scrubs. Other than that, I have no idea.

    Had a big run against us in preseason. He got more touches at the end of last season and showed flashes. Being from UCONN, I bet @Steel_Elvis has some info on him.
    Here's one of his college games.

    Todman can flat out fly. Not just from the 50 yard scamper he hand on us last week. I thought he was a pretty good player when he was in Jacksonville. Had no idea he was in Carolina. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he ends up RB2 behind Deangelo the first couple weeks.

    So going back the last 3 drafts:

    Grant 4th rd
    Richardson 5th rd
    Hawthorne 5th rd

    and none have made it out of camp. WTH.

    Weren't Ricardson and Hawthorne injuries? Or have I remembered that wrong?

    Still, disappointing. They seemed to address the CB issue, and we're left with very little to be excited about.

    That's the case with every team. All ur picks can't make the team. We are not the only team that misses.

    It's Tomlin's fault that Golson got hurt? Holliman and Grant were late round picks which are always hit or miss

    He is the head coach!!! everything is his fault.... lol, and golsen prob wont be around long either,, do you not see a trend with our DB's?? the lst CB that we drafted that was decent was Ike, and guess who the coach was when we drafted him.. and ohh i expect a 4th round draft choice to make the team

    As expected, Pouncey has been placed on IR with the return designation. Doug Legursky has been re-signed.

    Other then Golson and Brown who was drafted before the 4th round. Brown was a very high rated corner who never panned out.

    How much money would have been freed if the Steelers had let Jarvis go?

    How are we so good at finding talent with WR's in the draft.. And so utterly bad at evaluating CB talent?

    Curtis Brown and yes anything after the third round is a late round pick.

    :this!: All we heard after the draft from the Steelers is they drafted 3 ballhawks in the secondary, the midget CB Golson is on IR and Grant and Holliman couldn't even make the team. What a freaking joke they are when it comes to scouting the secondary, now Shamarko looks like he's on his way to being another mid-round bust.
