Steelers release 9 players

Makes sense...I know we all hoped for a trade.. but honestly... why trade anything when you knew either Berry or Tiny Elvis would be available in a few weeks.

HACK

 

Complaining about the last preseason game , who cares if they lost big? As long as nobody got injured.

 

Until he snaps one clear over Boz's head on a field goal try then Kam is back.

 

Very valid point

 

Off topic, but we have a new punter

 

Move this to the Other NFL talk thread.

J/K

 

He'll be back just like last year. After we lose a game or two via poor holding, we'll see a change like last year. Berry out performed his competitor especially against Carolina. IMO, so it must have been a money issue. We'll see if this comes back to haunt us.

 

Puntus Maximus reigns

 

Berry has been a below average to poor punter his whole career in Pittsburgh. I’m glad to be rid of him. Idc if he performed well in his 6th preseason with us. Last year was his best year yds/punt wise and it was good enough for 18th in the league, It was time to move on. Harvin performed well enough for the Steelers to be comfortable with us growing with him as the future.

Even if Harvin sucks, we can find a dozen Jordan Berry’s on the street. It won’t come back to haunt us.

 

...but Berry might.

 

Would be nice to acquire him but I doubt the team will. Neither Tomlin nor Colbert showed up at the 2017 Mississippi State Pro Day; a huge component of acquiring players for them.

 

Only if he ends up back on our roster haha

 

We haven't seen Boz miss a potential game winning field goal yet due to a bad PH3 hold, or have the average punt distance/field position numbers yet. So Berry could haunt us on or off the roster.

Fingers crossed for the yet to be proven PH3 to be a quality ghostbuster.

 

Did Tomlin and Colbert go to Trai Turner's, or Melvin Ingram's pro days? Or Killebrew?

 

Yes to all three.


Tomlin has already explained this shortly after their signings. Continuity has been a staple among acquiring talent from or around the league for Pittsburgh. I doubt Tomlin and Colbert merely swung for the fences with any of them.

 

Every free agent they sign it won't be a factor because Tomlin/Colbert went to their pro day.

 

Sure will not.


Most will be.
