    For what he has done with the Steelers roster, I'm sure Andy Weidl has helped with his experience with the Eagles, the OL and DL both has good depth now. I liked what he has done with the ILB room, I doubt this current group will go the whole season with just one splash play like the 2022 group did. Also, the depth at OLB is way better than it was last year, and the depth in the secondary has the potential to be pretty good.

    While I love our offseason, free agency, draft, and even our trades and practice squad, I'll wait until they've actually played a game before I start pushing for sainthood.

    Fair enough, but Khan was able to get draft picks for two players Green and Dotson that wasn't in their plans :thumbs_up:.

    Khan has done some refreshing work. He has pulled off some great trades. And rejuvenated the roster. Grade A+ start to his tenure.

    But I do believe the smartest move was to bring in Andy Weidl. He has many years of experience as a personal guy and will eventually get a General Managers job (Hopefully not to soon) Its not a Batman and Robin situation, its a Superman and Batman situation.

    Every year i'm excited to see what the year will bring. This year is different. Their is a different feel. I'm more pumped to see the season start.

    It sounds like the hay is in the barn as far as the roster goes.
    Time to hand it over to the head coach and let's eat!

    He’s probably waking up on some beach somewhere thinking how wonderful it is to be retired and stress free.

    I'm excited but you are correct.
    How about make the playoffs or actually win a playoff game first.

    I haven't been this excited about an off-season in years and I for one am VERY happy these two are on our team.

    Great off season for sure....now let's get started and see if the pre-season can carry into a great regular season and long playoff run.

    Great offseason on paper and the front office deserves credit.

    Some of the draft picks and moves may not work out in the end for whatever reason but I like everything they have done.

    There have been several off-seasons recently where that wasn’t necessarily the case

    They have 21 new players this year, and the depth is very good.

    Getting a late round pick for Green when he’s shown nothing except being completely and utterly out of his depth at NFL level from day 1 is a thing of beauty.

    Only questionable move was keeping Mann on the roster for the final 53. Now that he's cleared waivers and hasn't been signed, could they have possibly held onto another guy like Muse, who was a special teams demon?

    Khan has put together a very strong Pre Season team. Undefeated in fact.

    I'm just rolling out a "Tomlinism" in the spirit of the new season. One of his famous quotes.

    Barring injuries we can compete with anyone RIGHT now Kudos
    to all who saw that we didn't have the roster in place and made the necessary moves
    to put it in place and grow from this.

    A bunch of new players on this team from just last year. Khan obviously saw a problem and has addressed it. I don’t think we’ve seen a roster turnover like this since the early 70’s if at all.
