Inactive Players vs. the Raiders

https://www.steelers.com/news/steelers-inactives-for-week-14-at-raiders

Steelers Inactives
No. 2 QB Mason Rudolph
No. 27 S Marcus Allen
No. 30 RB James Conner
No. 72 OT Zach Banner
No. 77 OT Marcus Gilbert
No. 92 LB Olasunkanmi Adeniyi
No. 96 DE L.T. Walton

I'm a little surprised and disappointed to see Adeniyi inactive. Chickillo missed most of the week with a sprained ankle and Dupree is playing through a pectoral muscle injury, yet they are still going with only three outside linebackers. That seems very unwise.

It is good that they have Burnett and Sutton back, but why do they need Brian Allen and Artie Burns, their fifth and sixth cornerbacks, over a fourth outside linebacker?

They also have Trey Edmunds active as the third tailback.

Sometimes Tomlin does some things with inactive players that I find truly mystifying.

 

Yeah what’s up with OLA out lol

 

Agreed. Ola not seeing any action is very unusal given his performance against the Chargers. I thought he would see more action.

 

Totally agree. 3 LB’s, and 2 of them are gimpy? Don’t like it.

 

How does McCullers get a hat and Ola don't? I don't care different position McCullers offers nothing but shade......smh

 

I concur as well. Makes no sence. What happenes if Chickillo turns an ankle when he is in man coverage on Jordy Nelson?

 

Way the Raven game is going we need a full house. Way I see it if Ravens go into KC and win they deserve AFC North title unless we win out.

 

Maybe OLA missed some assignments in practice this week......

Or........

Maybe Butler is an Idiot and has a "New" defense for the raiders!
