    They're practicing quick slants. Anybody feel it's a waste of time to practice routes that they haven't thrown since Ben left? It's truly as if they are organizationally adverse
    to throwing the easiest and quickest routes, even when their OL can't hold up.

    Those routes aren't a big part of Wilson's game, but they should be. They are also a good way to let Pickens and Austin make some big plays, to get them the ball on the move. The Ravens talked about Wilson only throwing short passes and deep ones. The Steelers damn well better be working to fix that issue during this mini-bye.

    Meanwhile, the 49ers get a guy who was shot and had more yards in his last game than Mike Williams has had in his last 8 games.

    Preston Smith isn't better than their top 3 OLBs and he has been playing.

    Preston Smith lost most of his playing time once they got the top three outside linebackers healthy and he was inactive for the game against the Chiefs.

    This Wilson you talk about, is he the red faced one from the Tom Hank’s movie?

    I heard on the fan yesterday that Wilson and Holcombe have been cleared to play but won't be in uniform for the Bengals game.

    He had some of the quickest cuts of the bunch. Him and Austin.

    A cut and paste on Roman:

    "It was only after the Steelers started Wilson's 21-day clock to come off Injured Reserve that he was 'working his tail off and doing good in practice,'" Labriola wrote. "My understanding of the situation is that at no point was there a legitimate level of confidence that Roman Wilson understood the offense and his responsibilities within it to the degree that would allow him to execute it at game speed during the stretch run of an NFL regular season."

    I know this is a crazy question, but I didn't think someone on the IR could practice until the 21-day window was open?

    "It was only after the Steelers started Wilson's 21-day clock to come off Injured Reserve that he was 'working his tail off and doing good in practice,'" Labriola
    So, what the hell is Labriola talking about he wasn't practicing hard until the steelers opened the 21 day window???


    This designation clears the player to resume practice and triggers a 21-day window during which the team must either activate the player onto the 53-man roster or place them on season-ending injured reserve.

    I think you are trying to hard to read something into this that isn’t there.

    He came off IR and worked hard. He was just so far behind that he didn’t know what he was doing.

    It’s just that simple.

    No, once a team declares a player eligible to return from IR it opens a 21-day window for them to be reinstated to the active roster. If they aren't, they are declared out for the season.
