We could cut down to 55 right now, and bring in all these injured guys to take a free look - see what they can do.

He'd be a nice veteran presence in the trainer's room getting injury treatment.

Do you think they might keep Will Johnson and Roosevelt Nix over Harris?

I can't see them keeping Nix over Johnson blocked punt or not. No way.

Damn. I don't think I've seen more than 1, maybe 2 FA's in a long, long time. FOUR on the 53!!!

Of course, PIT probably won't grab more than 1. They may add a couple more on the PS.

Idk Kodiak. They've been pretty active this year.

As I said this week and pissed off clan: steelers have the worst safety group in the NFL.

We do however verge on the best punter, long snapper, kicker combo in the league.

The good news is: we add Timmons, Deebo, Mitchell, Ben, et al-- most of his shitty depth will be gonezo.

I would get a safety, OL, RB, DL, TE from cuts or FAs.

I'll say it again: Drayton Florence is available and would make a fine safety.

Webb sucks knobs. Ventrone does nothing in preseason comes back because no one earned a spot. its that bad. or perhaps a better cut comes in and displaces both.


BTW, 3 or 4 defensive players that everyone agrees are making the team don't even deserve to be on the squad. Not FA's, Im talking drafted players.

I'd cut Josh Harris and let Will Johnson be the backfield utility player to keep Nix around.

Has Louis Nix been any good? He just got cut.

Can he be worse than McCullers?
