Not really. That's already been answered. Legursky did it before, I would expect he can do it again.

Guess we'll get our first look this week at not only how the team is shaping up but the replacement refs as well. Could be kind of ugly (if the real refs don't get back in time for the season).

I'm not saying this to be glib at all, but I don't know how it could get much worse. Officiating has been horrid leaguewide for a while now. They need to put some of those incumbent guys out to pasture, IMO.

Yeah, I think Legursky can stand in the gap fine. The added depth will definitely help - maybe he won't get dinged up playing LG in his spare time.

It can definitely get worse. Guess we'll see how they do tonight and Thursday.

The real question for the line depth is, who will be able to play center in the playoffs when Pouncey gets hurt again?

Bite your tongue!

The surgery to remove bone spurs should help the ankle(s). :fingerscrossed:

First official depth chart released

Scotty Montgomery (wr coach) was on the radio earlier. Guys he mentioned as making a name for themselves outside the starting 3: Gilreath, Williams and Maze. Seems like/sounds like as of now Williams is the #4 but he didn't come out and say that.

 

[3C's]

DeCastro and Adams starting Thursday night and will get a little more time than the other starters.

Also, could be a little something:

@hammerspeaks First team O and D. Cortez Allen on the field. Not sure Lewis' status.

@MarkKaboly_Trib After getting beat badly twice Keenan Lewis leaves practice and has ice on his shoulder

 

[BigSteelThrill]

DeCastro and Adams starting Thursday night and will get a little more time than the other starters.

For the love of God I hope everyone in Steeler land doesn't become unglued when these rookies take their lumps.

It is reassuring though that Adams has outplayed Essex. Not as much that DeCastro has been outplayed by Foster. Think Foster is playing well though and it's just a matter of DeCastro gaining confidence. In due time.

Lolley blog mentions "my guy"

Tyler Beiler had a couple of nice catches on Tuesday and could be making a case for himself to stick on this roster.

Not worried at all about DeCastro. Looking forward to getting our first peek at Adams and DeCastro tonight.

"Steelers are broke" crap that doesn't belong here. I only reported one post but both of his were erased. My message to the mods was "Trolling in the team thread...really???" ETA-if he wants to post that in other threads thats fine. but it doesnt belong in this thread.

 

[ptsteelers]

Not sure if this is a 'no-no', and if it is please delete, but anyone know if tonight's game is available ... streaming somewhere? Can wait for the replay, but kinda wanna see. Ya know?

 

[BigSteelThrill]

You mean that idiot TT was in here?

I'm as big of a cheapskate as the next guy, but honestly I'd just shoot the lock off the wallet and get the $20 livestreaming/replay package from NFL.com. If the NFL can do one thing right, its providing high quality streaming video (at least on replay viewings, not sure on live).

Yeah, I may just do that. Was hoping to wait a week to see how the live went but, as you mentioned, they knocked the price down to $20 which is not a bad price at all.

If the local Steelers bar will be showing the game I may go out, if not I am going to subscribe for the NFL feed.

Stop insulting idiots.

 

[3C's]

Anyone you guys gonna watch (other than Adams and DeCastro)? I'm wanting to see Carter, Golden, all the young corners, B.Batch, Rainey, Beiler and Williams. That's the short list. Hoping to get a stream or it might have to wait for replay. I know of one place...waiting to see how it goes.

Missed who actually challenged but Philly is minus a TO.

Tomlin had the flag in his hand--I thought they said he was going to challenge, but then the ref went to talk to Reid.

Gotcha... Our tv froze fire that whole thingAdams beat twice so far

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Adams looking like poop. Surprised with all the Rainey pt.

 

[apalmer]

Wow--nice draw to Rainey to pick up 3rd and 13

 

[Bojang0301]

People shouldn't overreact to Adams being burnt. I think it was kind of well discussed that he would probably struggle early on.
