What SS are left?? OL??? ...or ILB...OLbs??
We have 3 Qbs on the team as of right now, and No starting SS.....So why is Qb being looked at before any other of our holes???

 

Because Tomlin is in charge now

 

Some holes are better looking than others

 

Malik Willis is my guess

 

No Qbs . LoL

 

Current Talley is as follows

Desmond Ridder 7
Travis Jones 3
Jalen Pitre 5
Sky Moore 1

Still time to vote

 

It's the 3rd round, and so far we have a tie between two players.

Bryan Cook Safety Cincinnati 5

John Metchie III WR Alabama 5

If anyone would like to chime in and help break the tie please use the link in the OP to vote.

 

OK i will. troy anderson ILB montana.

 

Time has expired. Next vote for Metchie or Cook decides it.

 

metchie.

 

No qbs please. Safety linebacker corner defensive lineman and not a hybrid of those 4 lol

 

You are the official tie breaker!

 

yaa me.

 

The only problem is you picked the wrong guy. When I asked for someone to be the tiebreaker, I was assuming they would pick my guy. I demand a recount.

 

Yeah. We go into the season without a Safety, but We have 9 Qbs, and 25 Wrs. Maybe one of them can play SS.

 

we got 2 strong safeties and marcus allen that was a strong safety and one guy that was a rookie last year from the SEC in stiner. killebrew, karl joseph, stiner, minkah can play both spots, norwood can as well and maulet has played safety. plus we have isaiah johnson that played with the raiders that could be in the mix at least at CB as well. probably big enough to man the safety spot. the cupboard isn't as bare as many think. will we add one? i'm sure but don't think we are destitute without one in the draft. maybe not ideal but we could make do.

 

Yes elvis I don't remember saying "I called it" like you claim but you always seem to hate these guys I mention but the Steelers seem to keep around and sign back. They just must be morons too I guess for not checking with you first.

 

Mac I appreciate your optimistic view on the roster. But most of the guys you listed are barely good enough to be camp fodder let alone steady contributers. If the Steelers go with Killebrew and Steiner next to Minkah the Steelers are in big trouble.

 

didn't they re-sign karl joseph too? i'm pretty sure. both he and killebrew have played in the nfl for awhile. the steelers used them some last year so both are familiar with the coaches and the scheme. do we really think a rookie will step in and be ready? even troy didn't start right away.

i also never said once we would go with just these guys. this was to STD saying we have no strong safeties on the team. i just pointed out we do.

as for stiner. the kid showed a little last preseason. even had a pick if i remember right. the steelers kept him around last year and have kept him around this year. the steelers of any team out there use from their PS and futures picks. they actually bring these players along with intent of future use in many cases. they have for some time. there are articles written about them doing that. i'm not sure why this is such a hard pill to swallow for many on here when i mention some of these guys.

they had AV, feiler and foster and finney for years as starters. that's where those guys came from. they were a pretty good line. the trouble last year with the line as elvis said sucked, were in fact made up of mostly draft picks and mr. pro bowl trai turner. so lets blame the backups. if you all remember later in the year after our o-line coach bailed the line had a couple of decent games with hassenauer and leglue playing and even haeg. dotson was healthy. green was healthy. turner and okrafor continued to suck. ray ray mc cloud was such a guy and he started over our 2nd round draft pick.

the league is made up of these UDFA players at about 30+%. more then mid to late round picks make the rosters. hate on me and them if you all want but it is what it is.

 

i also said norwood could move to minkah's role and minkah can play either spot back there. they have options compared to what STD said that we have no strong safeties on the team. not true we do. let's face it not even troy started as a rookie right off the bat. stiner looked actually pretty decent last preseason. they kept him around. maybe just maybe they think he may have some upside as depth. they did use killebrew later in the season quite a bit in some games. if they thought there was no hope for any of these guys i'm sure the steelers are smart enough to replace one or two of these guys before it became a hopeless cause. they didn't. in fact they kept them all. are they so stupid that they think a starter may not get hurt during the year and they may have to use one of these guys? i can hear them now, OMG we didn't actually plan on this fodder to have to actually play at some point, we were just filling out roster spots for preseason. we are morons. we never thought past our new draft pick. DUH.

 

You never know. They did it with the o-line last year. At least Colbert admitted making a mistake of not getting more depth for the o-line.
