Where's the fire????

That rookie Spencer Anderson I think has some experience at center and guard.

 

If that is the big boy from Maryland they drafted in the 7th, they said he has experience at all 3 positions on the O-Line.

 

Moore is doing some work at RT per Mike Nicastro on Twitter.

 

Are Yinz n’ at thinking Moore would be an upgrade over Chuks at RT

 

Ain't thinking that at all. But proves that Moore has some fire and wants to start. We shall see what happens.

 

Financially speaking yes.


Otherwise no.... not yet anyway in my eyes.

Green may have an open path to the Final 53 after all. Is he the new Daniel McCullers?! Really makes one think about it.

 

Green moving to center May have just saved Dotson a roster spot

 

“You’re telling me,” Green said. “You just get put in bad situations, and just deal with it. It is what it is, you know?"

Put in bad situations? That implies that it was somebody else's fault he sucked. If a player sucks, it is not the fault of the coaches who gave him a shot.

To be fair, he might be talking about having a lousy offensive line coach during his rookie year, but even that doesn't fully excuse how consistently he got his ass kicked. Hassenaur was a scrub, a very intelligent player who lacks the physical tools to be an NFL center, yet the offense improved tremendously once he took over late in 2021.

 

Moore would be a pretty good swing tackle.

 

I wouldn't think so personally.


Nate Herbig has more positional flexibility and has manned Left Guard duties in the past if I recall. Spencer Anderson could also be an option here as he too has positional versatility hailing from his days at Maryland. Dotson is limited to one position and Isaac Seumalo already has taken that spot.


Another major aspect working against Dotson is the fact that, for a backup, earning $2.734 Million via the Proven Performance Escalator (more on this can be found here as well as here) is quite the financial investment versus another backup in Herbig who, while pricey himself, gives the team more value due to the aforementioned versatility of positions.


It stinks for me as Dotson grew up a Steelers fan and I would imagine he himself would want to finish his career here. However, the NFL is a business and the business is winning. Any player, be they enamored with the team or not be a roadblock towards that objective is a detriment and therefore must be removed.

 

For me, I am rooting for Dan Moore. He is by not means a bad athlete, far from it actually;






Again, not someone crazy like Samuel Cosmi, Spencer Brown, Trevor Penning or even Lane Johnson but that figure is still more than enough to do the job. The major issues revolving around Moore have always been around the finer details in addition towards his inconsistencies regarding speed rushers.


He has stated he has greatly improved his core and lower body strength through Training; must haves for any Offensive Lineman. We shall see how well he can pick up on how to play Right Tackle.

 

FYI.. DK on the Ramon Foster show said that Kevin Dotson told him the Steelers said he lost his starting job because of his penalties. The Steelers said they liked the way Dotson was improving, but all his penalties cost him his job.

 

We want hostages not freeloaders or however that saying goes lol

 

Interesting article by Alan Saunders

https://steelersnow.com/steelers-cap-situation-after-markus-golden-signing/

Assuming he's correct the Steelers are 4m over the cap. And assuming they like to have at least 10m readily available during camp and not to mention a Highsmith long term deal, Omar has a lot of work to do restructuring to clear at least roughly $14 in space. I can see Chux being a post June 1st cut. I'd rather not, in case Moore completely sucks on the right side. Going to be really interesting in what they end up deciding to do.

Which is weird, because OTC got them at 15m available cap space, and factored in the draft picks n such. Pretty wide range here lol.

 

That clip from the Ramon Foster show yesterday, I posted above, I believe has DK stating the Steelers are $16 million under the cap.

 

Crazy how the math is damn near a 20m difference. A mill here or a mill there is one thing, but dang.

 

Over the Cap shows the Steelers with $15.7 million to spend,

Not in the least

He is doing exactly what the coaches are asking him to do

 

Yea, just awkwardly said. Not to mention Mike sent him the field for a foul start. Tend to think Dotson isn't on the roster by Week 1.

 

KDot

 

This isn’t E F Hutton speaking

Just saying

 

I hope the Steelers can get something for him. I like him over Green everyday and twice a week.

 

getting the feel for the other side. i like what he said, it's like learning to wipe your butt with either hand.
