Why is Cam Heyward playing offensive lineman on the FG team?

    I had no problem with Tomlin playing his defensive starters for the 1st half in the last preseason game, but if today our only Superstar player on Defense would have gotten hurt while playing on the offensive line during a FG; I would have been ready to fly into Pittsburgh to pick up my Pitchfork to run Tomlin out of town.

    I mean are you serious? There are no other active players on the Steelers roster who could play offensive lineman on a FG attempt? WTF???

    Is this something that regularly happens, and I have just been missing it? Can you imagine if they would have lost Heyward today on an offensive FG attempt? No Watt, No Minka, but hey let's make Cam today play on the offensive line during Field Goals.

    I'm pretty sure I have seen Cam out there on FG attempts before but I could be wrong. It's an interesting point though- there has to be some back up guy who can do that instead of Cam.

    If he is good enough for it, let him do it. This is why these guys are paid. You can't live in injury fear constantly.

    Think about it years ago, what if AB got hurt on a punt return? Everyone would of been mad. But sometimes you got to have your best players on the field even when you don't want to in certain situations.

    Like what if some other guy was doing it and it got blocked and Cam wasn't in there. 3 points was a difference between winning and losing yesterday.
