Ha ha
Is there a deadline for announcing down to 53 or just by game time next Sunday ?
Pittsburgh Steelers @steelers 3m
We have claimed CB @OhGi_3Dawg3 (B.W. Webb) off waivers and placed LB Jordan Zumwalt on the Reserve/Injured List.

Jordan Zumwalt can't be placed on the reserve/injured list unless he's cleared waivers

May not be a bad guy to target for practice squad.
If dan molls is honestly in consideration then I think you take a look, no?

B.W. Webb looked good last year and is a William and Mary product.

He said he was surprised anybody pick him up
Probably true if Gil said it, but did he say whether or not he was a better special teams player than our #52 or #53 roster guy would have been???

Had the Cowboys not drafted Webb, I think that Webb and not Jones would have been the pick. If true, the Jones pick is essentially a moot issue now- we're in the same situation now as if the Steelers drafted Webb in the fourth and picked Jones up as an UDFA. Hopefully Webb fits our scheme better than the Cowboys'.

I thought for sure with your username you'd mention the W&M connection between Tomlin and Webb

Yeah, I'm a W&M graduate. I came in as a freshman a few years after Tomlin graduated.
I would have mentioned that Webb is a W&M guy if no one had noticed it, but it's already been brought up several times in this thread. It's obviously a factor for why Webb was on the Steelers' radar in the first place. The Cowboys had a few W&M guys on their roster when they drafted Webb, so they must have someone who scouts the CAA or W&M in particular.
The Ravens signed Derek Cox, W&M CB, former 3rd Round pick of the Jags and 2010 Pro Bowl alternate, but cut him yesterday. The Steelers could swoop in and grab him as well, though the indications are that the Ravens are going to re-sign him.
Edit: Of course, our best football alum Darren Sharper has been making us all very proud lately. We went from having a possible NFL HOF alum and renaming our football practice facility for him to having to be embarrassed by our association with an apparent serial rapist.
