So with Dylan Cook on IR, Seumalo on the shelf, and Fautanu not 100%... Sure hope they don't have any OL injuries. Maybe Leglue gets a gameday helmet. Expecting to see a lot of Darnell Washington blocking in the trenches.

Will finally be able to get a good look at Anderson. He has always looked good against the 2s & 3s.

Honestly would love to see McCormick get an opportunity as well. Kid looks like a beast.

Not sure what to expect with this WR group, but getting Roman back would be huge.

Pickens, Roman, CAIII, Najee, Jalen, Cordarelle, Pat, Washington, Heyward.

Not the highest end on the proven WR side, but the kind of deep non-WR options that Arthur Smith likes in his offenses.

The Steelers aren't lacking weapons, they are deep in a non-traditional way.

I've become so desensitized to OCs that I forget this... I'm used to OCs having more talent than this but being incapable of using all of it.

It's been a while for us, but we've been based around the top two WR's on this team for at least the last two OC's Suddenly the starting WR's aren't exactly top flight. But having an O centered around two WR's hasn't exactly been a formula for success recently anyway.

Well we've known they have been transitioning towards a run-first offense. That is still the expectation. Just hope this OL gets healthy

Will be there and will share when I can. If I see them practicing curl routes again in warmups I won't be too happy.

Anyway I fully expect it to be 80/20 Steeler fans to Falcon fans again. And when they introduce the Falcons they will need to pipe in crown noise.

Russell Wilson reaggravated his injury to his calf at some point this week and is now limited in practice. He is supposed to go get a 2nd opinion on the calf.

Honestly, does it really matter? If that o-line looks like it did during the preseason games they better hope for a good running attack.

Probably not. So many new pieces to this puzzle.

Is that official?

I feel like the shittiest Steeler fan on the planet. I lost interest in mediocre-mike's baseline circus last year and still have not gotten it back. Really bums me out. I'm a bandwagon fan I guess. Just feels hopeless as long as he's the HC.
