Steelers Cut List

I looked back and I disagreed w you mostly about what you had to say about Casey Hampton being over 400 lbs playing weight, I hope this is the last I hear about this, no need to respond

 

It was on Twitter that Behre will be brought back on Sunday, I hope not he sucks Robert Golden 2.0

 

Our STs better be good. DHB, Matakevich, Dangerfield, Berhe when resigned, and Switzer are all mostly on the team as STs players.

Current depth chart.

Overall I like it. Thought it was a good move to keep Dobbs. Makes things more interesting going forward. I like just about everything else.

Really no complaints.

If they can get Brian Allen on the practice squad that'd be good. Especially glad they kept Jaylen Samuels, Matt Thomas, Adeniyl, Marcus Allen, Dan McCullers, as well as the other more notable rookies.

It'll be interesting to see who becomes available and what changes are made from here.

 

Jordan Dangerfield still on the roster. He’s the guy who tends to get cut and resigned whenever there’s a roster move. I’d almost not count him on the safety numbers.

Like Koroza says, there’ll be more moves yet. Hopefully M Thomas sticks.

 

Is everybody mad?

 

I wish the Steelers would cut DHB once and for all and keep maybe one of the younger receivers in camp like a Patterson or Tevin Jones. With the Steelers signing Switzer now who I think can be a solid slot receiver there is no need for DHB to see the field at anytime as a receiver at all.

 

Many on this board predicted Landry was gone. It makes total sense. Support this decision 100%

 

Dan McCullers sucks always has and will imo. Keeping him over Keion Adams is a mistake. I know Josh Frazier was Dunbar's boy but they should have cut McCullers along with Frazier.

 

McCullers has showed more this preseason than he previously had, he was getting good push in the pocket. Obviously a guy like Frazier didn't show enough to overtake McCullers.

 

Adams doesn’t play NT. One has nothing to do with the other.

 

While he did show more than in previous years,it's not hard to show more than nothing. While I agree he was getting nice push it wasn't translating into actual tackles or plays made. If Hargrave goes down and we have to rely on McCullers were in trouble. He will be a healthy scratch almost every week anyway,just like last year.

 

its a roster spot so it has everything to do with the other. especially when they only kept 4 olbs

 

Not directly but when you are keeping 6 DL and only 4 OLBs there is a indirect correlation. The 6 th DL won't be getting a helmet ,a 5th OLB most likely would. Also if the PS is any indication we will be running a lot of exotic looks on defense with sometimes only 2 DL. I don't see McCullers being a major part if at all in a rotation. The 5th OLB could....

 

making the 53 was McCullers super bowl, he won't maintain and will fade as the year progresses. Next year he will be cut.

 

I know it’s easy when your guy gets cut to look at what you perceive as a lesser player and ask why he made it over your guy.
Unfortunately that’s not the way it works. Even if Big Dan wasn’t on the team someone else would be as a backup NT. Still would take that roster spot.
If Adams was that good they would have made it happen.

 

that's a valid point, they do need a back up NT. Hopefully they acquire another and get rid of McCullers as I don't believe he will perform in the future.

I like the potential of Adams. If I were making the roster I would have found a spot for him especially with Watt not having any time in TC/preseason and you only have 4 OLBs on the team. I thought Adams showed more than Marcus Allen for instance. Either way, I hope Adams makes it to the PS.

 

Not necessarily Glenn. They could of made the choice to keep 5 DL and another on the PS just like they are choosing to keep only 4 OLBs and I bet they are going to try and keep 2 OLBs on the PS( Huguenin and Adams) if left unclaimed. McCullers isn't going to dress anyway unless Hargrave gets hurt. Then we are either in big trouble with Dan full time or we will try to scheme around it or plug Alualu or Walton in or someone else we may have on our PS. McCullers isn't a every down player and like I said probably won't dress anyway.

At OLB we have Watt and a bunch of question marks. Dupree and Chickillo leave a lot to be desired and we have A 20 year old rookie we are relying on. Like I've said I don't know if Adams is a world beater but at least it's potential and depth that has spent time in the system. It just bothers me that a guy like McCullers finally shows a glimpse of something in his last year and it still isn't all that anyway. What has he been waiting for? I wouldn't invest in a guy like that and we probably won't. I'd rather see a guy like Hooks get a chance. I know he's not really a NT either but the next Casey isn't walking through the door. Just get talented guys along the DL and tell them to **** **** up....we are going away from a true NT anyway.
I know they don't play the same position but given the choice between a guy with upside(Adams) at a position that is already weak,both Dupree and Chickillo are in their final contract year and keeping a guy who won't dress,is very limited and took until his 5th year for the light to finally go on and still a dim one at that. I'm taking the guy with a pulse...l

 

Again you’re comparing him to another position.

 

He took a valuable spot from someone, AKA olb. Mcculler stinks Allula would have been suffiecient.

 

Glenn I think your missing the point. You can compare guys at different positions because it isn't set in stone that you have to keep a certain amount of guys at each position. It is a preference of what each team chooses to keep. You don't have to keep 6 DL or 5 Safeties or 3 QBs or whatever. The point is why 6 DL and only 4 OLBs we could of chosen to keep 5 and 5. I think Turtles and my opinion is that we would of rather kept Adams as a 5 th OLB as opposed to McCullers as a 6th DL,that's the comparison. I don't know if McCullers is PS eligible but if he was that's where he belongs especially considering he won't get a helmet on game day very frequently and if he isn't PS eligible find a NT that is.....it shouldn't be too hard to find someone to replace him.

 

Steelers announce practice squad

YES.....now excuse me for a few while I slowly climb back in from the ledge....

 

Originally I thought Keion Adams made the team. The Steelers website depth chart shows Keion Adams listed as a backup OLB but he's not listed on the roster and he is now listed on the practice squad. So, that means we are going with only three OLB's, Watt, Dupree, and Adeniyi?

I don't like it. These guys get injured a lot. I think the only way you can do this is if one of the ILB's has some experience as a pass rusher.

 

Chickillo makes 4
