Snell and Washington really seem like they're on the bubble if anyone else proves to be better on special teams. Neither are getting a lot of reps and hasn't given the team a reason to keep them around.
Would be cool if they could trade Snell, Washington, and Rudolph for some late picks.
Snell maybe, but I don't see Washington being on the bubble at all.

Is this the thread where I get to post thousands of Steeler memes?
So long as you keep them here and don't create a new thread every time you feel the need to post a Steeler meme like usual.
Otherwise if you do, that's how you get more threads of me posting about every insignificant and obscure Steeler news out there.

I just don't see a role for him, and he hardly gets playing time because of it. He's kind of just a poor man's Juju. Maybe they use him to replace Juju, but only if they get Washington really cheap in a re-sign.

Just got back from Steeler camp. Wasn't too too intense. There was another skirmish after a session where they were doing double team training with the OL and DL.
Main points to take away:
Dwayne Haskins is far and away playing like our #2 QB. Rudolph is cracking under the pressure of camp and is throwing nothing but checkdowns and screens.
Ben connected on a few deep shots that looks strong. One to Diontae Johnson for a TD and another to Freiermuth.
Freiermuth looks like he could be a significant downfield threat early on. Great hands, athletic.
Najee Harris is as good as advertised. Already making bad blocking look good. He hasn't had much to work with with Okorafor, Dotson, and Banner injured (though Banner practiced for the first time today), but he is fighting for everything he gets and he makes something out of nothing.

The Steelers might have the one O-Line group as a Giants fan that I'm not jealous of

It could be a decent line in some time, they have dogshit for depth so they better hope that is the case and they can stay healthy.
Chuks is the one place they could probably upgrade at. Decent RT, but probably not what you want at LT.
Someone hasn't been getting enough attention lately. Or you're just drinking. Probably both.

...only outdone by the bandwagon Patsies fans that are seemingly everywhere.
Because they talk about the Patriots in every NFL thread.
But as an objective observer, I have to point out that there's more attention on the Eagles than on the Steelers on this board, due to the number of Eagles fans and fans of other NFCE teams.

Because you guys are obsessed with the pats (given how they have humiliated falcons and steelers fans, completely understandable). Pats are going to make the playoffs this year but no chance of winning a championship. Steelers and Eagles? Lol

You whine and bitch about not getting HOTY award and then come in here and say your team has no chance to win the Super Bowl?
GTFO you fake homer.

Have no clue what the”HOTY award” is and why I should give a shit about it. I’m realistic about the pats and don’t see them having a legitimate shot at a championship this year. You can hope and pray for the Steelers as a world class homer but we both really know how this season ends for them lol

I saw that coming after seeing him in camp. Rudolph is cracking under the pressure. Haskins is our clear #2 QB.

if Haskins cleans up his act he could be starting for you soon. I wouldn't bet on Ben starting 17 games. Come to think of it I wouldn't bet on any QB starting 17 games except He Who Must Not Be Named

Claypool down. Fuuuuuuuuuuck.
Looks more like he got the wind knocked out of him than anything, but it definitely should have been a flag. Still caught the ball.
