jebrick Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 As they should be. I think Hunter will be cut. I think Tomlin was showing him off last night for another team. Hopefully Cockrell and Golden are cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB, Bryant, Rogers, Ju Ju, Coates and I think Hunter outplayed DHB. Yes DHB is good on special teams, but he has very inconsistent hands. Coates can play gunner on ST's. I would keep Hunter. He has as much potential as Coates and better hands in my humble opinion. Agree about Golden kind of disappointing as he should have gotten better each year. On the fence with Cockrell. I like him much better as a back-up. I think it is time to let Gay go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPlainNasty Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Glad to see Davis go. I thought he actually looked slow and undecisive in the game where he had all the yards. A more explosive back would've had much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 I wasn't disappointed in Davis as a return man. I thought he could add something there. I think our return game is cursed without brown edit: meant to quote nasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly more impressive than Davis as a pure RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way draft unwrapped, thought he could of been decent for a third back on the roster and a good asset to the special teams play like DHB. Boy was I wrong. Team needs a decent return man that isn't named brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news for Watson and for fans. I don't know anything about the other two or if there was a decent case for them to land a spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB, Bryant, JuJu, rogers, Coates I think are locks. Coates gives us a window for a WR needy team option as well. But that wouldn't be steeler like but either was signing Joe. Just keeping optimistic about the situation. The last spot, Ayers, hunter and DHB. It's actually kinda interesting. Hunter has more upside as a WR but not a contributor on special teams. At least to my knowledge. DHB, solid special teamer but has the lowest upside in terms of WR. Ayers, didn't look like he played much in the preseason? But he adds return man value and decent skills as a 6th with some upside also. If it was me, I'd choose hunter. I think the steelers value DHB special teams play more then what the other two have to offer. edit: misread if DHB stays, Coates and hunter gone if not, hunter is gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
